They absolutely have a say, they can say they're not going to do it (the show in general) because it comprimises their integrity!!

I can understand a bubblegum band or a band that's relatively new and trying to gain exposure lip syncing (like DL on TOTP), but there is absolutely no reason why a band like DL has to do this at this point in their career and if you reseach this a bit more on the web you'll see a lot of hardcore fans are totally outraged. While I think it's pathetic, I am not going to disown them for doing it, I just don't think it helped them at all and made them look pretty cheesy.
