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

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.
