The Academy Is - About A Girl (MTV New Years)

[Chickenjuggle]

Dayum, the audio's way lagged.

[EmmyleeSDee]

William Beckett is from Chicago Illinois and he was born around Barrington (hence the term Fast Times at Barrington High) he also attended Barrington High School. So yeah he is American. Hope I could be of assistance I love Billvy and Mike and Sisky! But the butcher and Michael both left the band:'( and If you need to know more about any of them I'm your gal!

[arabialuvsbryan]

Where is William from?

[ezbg]

@arabialuvsbryan couple miles from me

[ImiiNotOkay25]

:O VERONICAS!!! :D

then the academy is...!!

within the first few seconds i love the video!! <333

[damnsadla]

shit quality

[Arebatta]

Megusta esta canción esta brabaza!!!

[pimpnskip2school]

sucks he has a kid : /

[mettalishpunk69]

i'm not gonna waste these words..about a girl

[summerinb]

lip *syncing is the term

and no. this video isn't good quality and you can tell the audio is slightly off from the video. plus- you can hear the imperfections in his voice. it would sound like the album if he was lip syncing :)

besides that, i understand because TAI... live is the closest thing to the recorded product from any band i've ever seen. amazing.

[jasonroxorz]

@summerinb truth. Also the harmonies are a little off. And also, usually if they're lip syncing they won't talk to the crowd, because their mics are off. lol.

[oi2simon]

@summerinb yes, and its unwise to lip sync because the crowd is very close that it would be obvious if they did

[TheChrisherr]

is he lip singing????

[pruefalloutkid]

@TheChrisherr NOOO! he is not! never ever

[TheChrisherr]

@pruefalloutkid chill, and kk just checkin, kinda looked like it but wtv

[CaptainWags]

@TheChrisherr no.

[midnightA11]

bad quality :(

[turk2336]

what year was this?

[Narutocubi]

i gotta love how they NEVER lip singed

[loveisntmurder]

michael chislett (guitar) play in a christian band called HILLSONG UNITED just search a video called THE TIME HAS COME - HILLSONG UNITED, and you will see

[ProblemsInNumbers]

BWAHA where is all this texas and illinois stuff coming from xD

theyre from chicago.

[klaus494]

Psst, ProblemInNumbers, in case children aren't stupid enough already, you just brought them down another peg. Chicago is in Illinois, and is in fact Illinois's largest city. Just saying, learn some geography

[ProblemsInNumbers]

make my comment just texas...I'm not american so i barely know all the states, let alone major cities.

sorry.

(NOT being sarcastic, that was a stupid mistake)

[sowrongitsnemo]

isn't chicago IN illinois?

[ANeverEndingSong]

@ProblemsInNumbers

Chicago IS Illinois.

[ProblemsInNumbers]

Yes, sorry my mistake, someone already pointed it out and I already commented back to them that I was wrong...I'm not form the U.S so I barely know State names.

[ANeverEndingSong]

Its all good! We all make mistakes sometimes. :)

[AshleyDenise100]

i love this band so much!!

[HPfan6]

no they are not, they are Chicago based, William(lead singer), Adam/sisky(bassist) and Mike(guitarist) are from there, Butcher(drummer) is from Milwaukee and Michael(guitarist) is from Australia

[itseunice96]

[billyRwicked]

The Academy Is... one of the few bands that sounds way better live. ...Am I allowed to say it like that...whould it have been better 'Tha Academy Is... is one of the few...' That just seemed wrong ...And yes Im leaving my stupid debate with myself because...I'm weird like that

[bendinggreenvans]

this is better than the studio version :) you can hear the harmonies better :)

[thebest924]

TAI is better live. :)

[bendinggreenvans]
