Mickey Callisto’s performance on Britain’s Got Talent 2025 has certainly stirred up a storm—and it’s not hard to see why. From the moment he launched into Queen’s “Somebody to Love,” the energy in the room shifted. His theatrical flair, expressive vocals, and Mercury-esque mannerisms had the judges and audience eating out of the palm of his hand.
Simon Cowell’s glowing feedback—“I love everything about you”—was a major seal of approval, and viewers could feel the sincerity behind it.
Mickey’s originality and boldness are qualities that BGT celebrates, especially when wrapped in such a dazzling performance.
But as with many standout acts, Mickey’s moment in the spotlight also came with a wave of skepticism. The accusations of miming spread quickly online, with fans debating everything from microphone technique to audio sync. Still, it’s important to note that in a live setting like BGT, audio discrepancies can sometimes be caused by broadcast delays or sound engineering, not necessarily lip-syncing.
