Ellie Goulding has fired back at reports suggesting she mimed her way through her performance at the Australian Football League final on Saturday, insisting she would never lip-sync. Technical issues before the Hawthorn Hawks and West Coast Eagles clash in Melbourne appeared to suggest the gig was anything but live ? but Goulding has been quick to respond to the criticism. Her Australian promoter, Michael Gudinski, has revealed a sound technician pressed play on the backing tracks for both of her hits, ?Love Me Like You Do? and ?Burn,? instead of one at a time. Goulding said in a statement, "I would rather something go wrong than go up there and people think I am this perfect pop star who everything goes right for, and I?m not human, I?m a robot.?
