Looks like it’s not only Nigerian singers who have a hard time performing with a live band at concerts, as Justin Bieber has come under intense criticism for miming his songs during a concert.
The singer, during an appearance at the annual V Festival in Essex, England over the weekend, performed a bevy of his hits to choreographed routines but the concert-goers were apparently not thrilled.

Many fans, who paid as much as £100 (N45,000) to see the 22-year-old Canadian perform, took to social media to lash out at the ‘Sorry’ singer for ripping them off.
And they did not hold back.
Leaving V early because of how poor Justin Bieber is. Miming 95% off his show. Poor “headline” act

@justinbieber at #vfest was terrible. Miming, roaming around the stage and weird speeches. Deserved to be booed. Should have gone to see EZ

Justin Bieber was such a disappointment yesterday, miming and hungover

Fans were really disappointed.
.@justinbieber turned up to V to collect his pay check and leave… Worst performance of the day, and the headliner! Miming and no energy

Nah @justinbieber is miming at V Fest. I ain’t paid £80 for a ticket to his tour to listen to his CD and see him run around the stage.

Justin #bieber is now miming live on stage at #VFestival. Like watching a dummy lip syncing I should think. Oh, wait…

So the real q of the whole weekend was… Why was Justin Bieber miming?

Clearly, Justin isn’t having a good time with the fans, as this comes soon after the star took down his Instagram account following a spat with many of his 78 million followers on the platform.
