If Jon inteded to mime all the way, he would be moving the lips near a microphone (like he does during the Prayer high note); whereas he's clearly moving away from the microphone during the chorus of This House.
Lastly, he would not be using studio versions. He would be using live recordings (again, like Prayer) to make it believable

It surely can't be a prank from the crew, it's not remotely funny. Well it is when you watch the video on a loop, but you get what I mean.
I'm certainly going to give them the benefit of the doubt. Like I said earlier, it makes little sense they would risk so much now, specially when there are so many new people on the stage who have probably never played/sung over a backing track or whatever.
Somebody alluded to the fact that there are no screens this time, but there are and they are showing Jon at all times, so no conspiracy here (I was half joking when I said that they are doing every trick in the book to hide Jon lip synching). Anybody with a good camera in the front row can get a high-res close up that would certainly showcase any tricks, so I don't buy that they are not filming the shows to minimize the chances of making a mistake, they can't control who records and how. I can buy that they can't bother/it's too much work dubbing an "improved" audio over the video when they know they are going to sell like 15 copies
