Bonnie Tyler has been accused of miming after performing her hit single, Total Eclipse Of The Heart, ‘live’ on This Morning on Wednesday.
Bonnie Tyler’s ‘lip synching fail’ on This Morning shocked viewers
The singer, 71, appeared on the show to discuss her new memoir and the 40th anniversary of her chart-topping hit, ‘I never get bored of singing it,’ she told presenters Craig Doyle and Josie Gibson.
However, when she performed the song at the end of the show, she was called out for ‘lip synching,’ with fans comparing her to a puppet and saying it looked like a foreign language dub.
‘Leave Bonnie Tyler alone she has been singing that song for 40 years straight and she couldnt be bothered to sing it today #ThisMorning [sic]’, shocked viewers joked on Twitter.
‘Ever wondered what it would be like to see a Thunderbirds character sing? So, thanks to #thismorning, we got to see Bonnie Tyler’s fantastic total eclipse of the heart recreated by Gerry Anderson’s team of puppeteers.’
Others commented, “At least put some effort into the miming ffs”; it’s like watching a foreign commercial dubbed into English.” What was the point of having her on when you could just play the video? #thismorning’; What were you up to??? #mimingfail’;
‘I was hoping to hear her voice at this point. That’s unfortunate; ‘Miming fail #thismorning #bonnietyler’; C’mon, Bonnie, we Welsh are supposed to be able to carry a tune, not MIME; What a letdown with the lip sync. This Morning with Bonnie Tyler’
Bonnie is no stranger to a TV gaffe; in 2021, she perplexed fans by forgetting the name of her album during an interview on Loose Women.
As she shifted between topics such as the state of her hair and her brief encounter with the Pope, the Welsh singer struggled to remember the titles of her recent music releases.
Ruth Langsford, the presenter, said to the star: ‘We will talk to you about the album which is out now but are you always looking for that huge ballad?’
Bonnie responded: ‘Oh I have a wonderful songwriter at the moment called Steve Womack.
‘I actually have quite a few wonderful songwriters, Desmond Child as well, and they’ve written me fabulous songs on my new album which is called, erm…’ Bonnie stalled as she searched her brain for the name of her new album.
‘The Best Is Yet To Come,’ she said as the Loose Women panellists prompted the name in unison before laughing.
