Video: JLS Perform ‘The Club Is Alive’ On GMTV

Published: Tuesday 6th Jul 2010 by Sam

British Pop phenoms JLS stopped by GMTV this morning to perform their new single ‘The Club Is Alive’. Despite being one of their first promotional appearances in support the track, it looks set to debut high on the Official UK Singles Chart this week, after rocketing straight to number one upon release on Sunday.

Performance (and rant) after the jump…

Rubbish.

The worst part of this whole JLS sham is that guys actually seem like legitimately cool people. However, no amount of personality can take away from the fact that they’re getting away with murder over here with these terrible songs and performances. Notice how we’ve heard little to nothing about their US conquest following their promo trip there a few months back. The US admittedly have a fair share of wackness on their charts, but nothing as bad or well-selling as this.

Randomness: Watching the above lipsynced performance took me back to a recent interview of theirs where they defended their use of ProTools and Autotune by saying they sung live for 10 weeks on the X-Factor, hence can indeed sing. Why, then, do they shy away from singing live now that they are charting artists? Make no mistake: X-Factor and such shows do not equate to paying one’s dues. If anything it is the beginning.

Your thoughts?

    Will you guys do a post or comparison between JLS & FDM (the true UK R& B stars) PERFORM – Hate Us (I Don’t Care) http://youtu.be/xY2wgO_3w5c Fundamental – playground http://youtu.be/pTVEZwltPAk it’s a shame that people don’t show where the real talent is in the UK and let s*** like JLS slip through the net I mean I know they say nice guys sometimes win but FDM are nice guys with talent surely it’s time for them to win?

    @ Sam *5 MINUTE STANDING OVATION*

    They’re not singing live – but it’s like a rule that you have to mime on GMTV. JLS are not good live and that is why they’ve flopped in the US.

    I said they would months ago and, as usual, I have been proved right.

    That is all

    They aren’t singing the chorus completely live, but otherwise I don’t want you’re talking about. They’re definitely singing all of the verses live. You can hear the strain in their voices. Not a great performance, but LOVE the song.

  9. EXPOSED July 6, 2010

    GOT TO BE THE GAYEST GROUP ON THE PLANET. THIS IS WHY XFACTOR IS FULL OF S*** AS JUDGE OF POPULAR MUSIC. ANYONE WHO GETS SUCKED INTO SIMON COWELL’S MARKETING MACHINE DESERVE ALL THE GAY CRAPPY AUTO-TUNED LIP SYNCING MUSIC THERE IS!! #FACT.

  10. rob July 6, 2010

    as much as i dislike them , i have to give it to them for singing and dancing live , they are obviously working on there craft now , and you cant fault them for that

  11. FreshUrbanEnt July 6, 2010

    SORRY ANY SONG THAT IS BASED ON THE MOVIE “THE SOUND OF MUSIC” IS AN INSTANT FLOP IN MY EYES HAHAHA FAIL JLS

  12. nothing but my opinion July 6, 2010

    boringg

  13. Tha Phoenix July 6, 2010

    @Dan B official – WOW. You really take this ish SO seriously. Are you feeling OK?

    Anyway, my main point was that – live or not – JLS are not good at all. Their singing is very poor and their dancing substandard (with the exception of Aston)/

    If you had actually bothered to read te entirety of my comment, instead of getting all excited over the first line, you would know that.

    🙂

  14. Tha Phoenix July 6, 2010

    @Dan B Official

    And ‘dumb ass h**’ – Really? You can’t even spell ‘h**’ right. SMH. It just shows your limited intelligence and, as I hadn’t even been talking to you, the true extent of your stupidity.

  15. JLSfanX July 6, 2010

    Umm.. Just thought id let you all no. They havent follped in Amercia
    And also this song is sitting right at the top of the official charts. Jls have such a big fan base, that it doesnt matter what a few people say.

    WE ♥ JLS

  16. skye July 6, 2010

    well JLS haters listen JLS have soo many fans that they will always stick by JLS soo there is no point making fun off them i bet you could’nt do any better!!!!

    JLS fans will stick by JLS forever! I love You JLS!

  17. *sharn* July 6, 2010

    seriously are you joking right JLS are amazing big whoop they didnt sing live never mind they proved that they could sing throughout the x factor all im seeing is a bunch of jelous nobodys who need to grow the f*** up

  18. matt July 6, 2010

    it isn’t a rule to mime on GMTV, it is the performers right, people who sing live 90% of the time have a right to be called “performers” superstars in some cases, these (JLS) will never be one of those, they cannot use singin in xfactor as an excuse!!

  19. Alex July 6, 2010

    They can barely dance and their music sucks…I don’t get it. I’m so glad they didnt blow up here

  20. Tha Phoenix July 6, 2010

    @Dan B official – ‘h**’ isn’t the correct spelling. And using Urban Dictionary which, like wikipedia, can be updated by anyone is only making you look even more ridiculous.

    *pauses* And why DID you call me that, anyway? You were just struggling to express yourself adequately , weren’t you?

    I knew it.

    Besides, you didn’t address any of my other points.

    *waits*

    😀

  21. Tha Phoenix July 6, 2010

    @matt – fair enough. That was all Dan B official needed to say. But, apparently, GMTV prefer you to mime, because they haven’t set up the sound properly or something by 6 am – which is when these shows are recorded.

    😀

  22. Tha Phoenix July 6, 2010

    @Matt

    But I wasn’t aware of your point, so, thanks for telling me.

    🙂

  23. Yo July 6, 2010

    Lol at the dumb probably white 12 year old fangirls coming on here… THEY F****** SUCK AND THEY FLOPPED IN THE US! Nobody care’s about you supporting talentless bunch of f***… go get your c*** popped

  24. Tha Phoenix July 6, 2010

    @JLSFANX – actually their song still hasn’t been in the top 100 on US iTunes and it’s been released there on download since Feb.

    I’m not surprised. I said this would happen.

  25. SimBains July 6, 2010

    First, JLS were singing live apart from the chorus which is hard to sing live as it is autotuned. Many songs nowadays are autotuned, like OMG by Usher, which was a hit for weeks, and yet he didn’t get any stick for that!
    So many artists mime, The Saturdays did it on T4 on the beach, whereas JLS sang live, yet the sats didn’t get any crap.
    JLS have not flopped in the US, they have fans over there, some are even on the jls forum.
    If you lot gave JLS the time of the day, rather then pre-judging them, you’d know their album is completely not auto-tuned and they sang it ALL live on their SOLD OUT tour.
    And stop assuming that us JLS fans are ‘dumb probably white 12 year old fangirls’. Actually, I’m fourteen, brown and go to a grammer school yet I love JLS and am a fan because they are so talented and down to earth.
    So leave them alone and p*** off, do you have nothing better to do then hate?

  26. Tha Phoenix July 6, 2010

    Like I said, their entire fan base is made up of 12-16 year olds. And, yes they have flopped in the US – not here, which is no surprise really.

    And all the feedback I’ve seen from the US so far has been nothing but negative.

    Remember what Jay Z once said – men lie, women lie, numbers don’t.

  27. Yo July 6, 2010

    SimBains

    They did flop in the US… where did “Everybody in Love” chart? oh yeah… it didn’t. STFD

  28. NAS ( B Rockah Stan 4eva) July 6, 2010

    @ Danboffcial..see what hatred does to you right?????lol You’ll soon go crazy by the look of things but then again it appears you’re already there!

  29. Charlie July 6, 2010

    oh haters please be quiet, if you don’t like them stop reading about them…is that to hard to understand?

    and for the guy up there that said ‘Like I said, their entire fan base is made up of 12-16 year olds. And, yes they have flopped in the US – not here, which is no surprise really

    i’m 19 years old and a massive fan of jls so stop assuming all their fans are little girls
