Singer Mickey Callisto faced a wave of controversy following his breathtaking rendition of Queen’s Who Wants to Live Forever on Britain’s Got Talent.

While many viewers were captivated by his near-perfect vocals and stage presence, a segment of the audience accused him of “miming,” claiming his performance was too flawless to be live. Comments poured in, with some questioning, “This guy looks like he’s miming!” and others asking, “Is he trying to sound like Freddy Mercury, or is that his own voice?”

Unfazed, Mickey decided to address the criticism head-on. He shared a studio-recorded video showing his full live performance, accompanying himself on piano, and demonstrating the depth of his vocal range. Fans immediately responded, proving that his talent could not be denied.
