  • They only sound bad when they sing together.When they do their solo's they don't sound so bad.

  • Chezzy as fuck, look at he gnaster in the red with the bandana, FUCKERS

  • fair play, atleast they didnt mime like most artists do these days

  • Well the crowd at the end loves it! Or was it FAKE?

  • Jacob is so good he didn't even mess up at all! He sounded good

  • not bad for not having headsets.  Some parts are like "oh, wow!" but not too bad

  • i didnt even notice anything...

  • they did pretty good for having no singing in their backing track. there's one guy off-key for most of the song, and the harmonies are a bit weird (probably cause of that one guy) but this is not that bad for a boy-band. if they had some backing singing on the chorus and got that one guy to sing in the right key there would be no problem with this

  • at first i was like oh its not that bad... then around 1:15 I quickly learned...

  • Most of our world has bad ears.. Apparently.

  • I love O-Town..even met them...this is pure mess. My ears hurt!

  • @shonnamclelland

    the moonwalk was good? wtf r u talking about

  • why did erik get choosen? he sounds off in most of his performances and he's not the hearthrob of the group

  • those guys are not the one's who choose the dance moves...it's the chereo guy

  • jacob did a good moonwalk..you people are all going to talk down on the moonwalk?

  • jacob is the only one who sounds good here

  • Jacob is the only one on the right pitches.

  • @italiansabregirl

    he is the only one that sounds good here haha

  • @italiansabregirl

    he is the only one that sounds good here haha

  • 3:01-3:08 was very Mj-esque for Jake

  • Grosss!!!!!!! Awful! 

  • they sing great. where did they mess up?

  • 2:09-2:14 - LOOoOOOoL, ERIK,DATS SUM NICE ACTING....lol, look at the emotion in his face!!!! hahahaha.

  • I didn't hear any messup i remember when they were shootong this on making the band and lou gave them crap for it i didn't see his fat ass trying to do all they do!

  • Plus, the choruses sound pretty damn good. don't hate.

  • i absolutely love the fact that they're talking about wet dreams most males go through lol

  • They still sound good.

  • @satinbox U silly silly idiot they sound like some hot garbage on a cold day!!!

  • @CorvinuSpartakus You sound like an idiot.

  • @satinbox how can i sound like an idiot, look i just started listning to o town and they got some good songs but come on they really fucked this up, i love this band really nd its one of my fav songs by them but they could had done so much betta. nd ppl blame the earpiece, please, dude they sung this sng live so many times. alll im sayin is be 4 real it was bad.

  • @CorvinuSpartakus this was their first time live on tv so cut them some slack

  • @CorvinuSpartakus they couldnt hear themselves as they were doing it. Sound kept cutting in and back out, which makes it nearly impossible to be able to match up perfectly with 4 other people.

  • Comment removed

  • i fuckin love jacob's voice!! and i love off key singers!!

  • @surfduckca LOL are you for real?

  • jacob's voice sucks. it's like nick carter's. too high pitched

  • I love how they blamed this on their ear pieces malfunctioning. Yeah, like their total lack of talent had NOTHING to do with it.

  • @AlbanianMan Have you ever tried to sing in a large place with the chance of an echo without the aid of an earpiece. It's not easy.

  • products of making the band before p diddy messed it up!!

  • @ncbuckeyecb messed it up? Um Danity Kane went platinum. Otown? No. So how did he mess it up?

  • FAIL

  • When I first saw this on TV all those years ago, I knew exactly what they were talking about (As did any teenage guy with half a brain). In fact, I remember my first reaction was "They're singing about THAT on the Miss America Pageant?! That's NASTY!!!!!"

    And it probably doesn't help that they sound...so....BAD!

  • sucks to be them doesnt it

  • thier live perf is really bad but its alright~

  • i remember they were the ONLY reason i watched that miss america pageant!

  • I missed it! Where did they mess up again??

  • @nabrinar haha the whole song was messed up 'cause their ear pieces weren't working but i think they did pretty good even with the issue. :)

  • Comment removed

  • AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY EARS HURT

  • I rem this, they started the downward spiral of Pop and then Ashlee fakeasswhorebitch Simpson killed it!

  • theyre singing about their wet dreams in public?!!? oh please god! back in late 90s and early 00's i think the music was more straight forward about the double meaning stuff, now its not as obvious but yeah this shit would not fly in 2010.nevertheless i miss being a naive kid

  • @lovinliverpool I remember singing this song all th time in middle school and then when I was old enough to realize what they were talking about.....I was like "ohhh, OHHHH o.O " lmao

  • @lovinliverpool um Ke$sha, anyone?

  • i cant see any mess

    performing live may seem a mess to sum people

    hahahhhaahha

  • seriously, singing without foldback is incredibly difficult. You gotta remember these guys can't hear eachother let alone the music properly. In a big auditorium, singing on stage, the reverb sometimes is as much as half a second or a second later coming back to the performers. That means what they're hearing is a muddled mess of sounds, they can't hear themselves sing and have to use pure muscle memory to try and hit the right notes ALL the time - while dancing. Respect to these guys.

  • nyahahahaha... this was funny!

  • they messed up, and still sounded good. it's really rare to see boy bands back then actually sing live. most of them lip synced. even when i saw them live twice about ten years ago when i was ten, i was impressed that you could actually tell they weren't using pre-recorded music and lip syncing. they didn't sound AWFUL, it may not have been as clean as the cd, but of course when you're a vocalist and singing live while adding dancing and everything in it, you're not gonna sound just like the cd

  • considering the issues with the headsets I'd say they did OK. you can't sing well when you can't hear yourself.

  • at 2:09 .... Just goest to show this band didn't have much team spirit ....

  • They can clearly sing, but none of them are on the same key. There was some sort of technical problem with their in-ear-monitors. They showed this on Making the Band, and the episode was basically about being able to perform well even if there is that sort of technical problem.

  • how do you know they just didnt want to do it like that

  • @lovelust099 Cuz nobody wants to perform their song horribly.

  • @dieguetti well thats not true maybe they wanted to show them how they really sound not when they get amped up ppl do it all the time

  • Rasheeda this was all your fault you and Lou turned the ear pieces off you never wanted good things for the boys you pretended to be their fan like that skank Heather and you used them like you used me. You are pathetic and crazy. I never signed a contract and I am not legally bound. You are 63 years old and you have harrassed all of us for the past 10 years etc. I was there I know I remember everyone remembers but no one believes me because you spread lies and said I signed the contracts

  • poor guys, they couldn't help it :(

  • this NEEDS to be on failblog.

  • where did they mess up at? i dident see any thing oh wait the vocals was off alot tho owell it happens

  • they would have been ok if the guy in the leather jacket and khaki pants wouldn't sing...he threw the whole off. ugh...

  • why what happened tO this show?how come they messed it up?

  • I remember they came out with that song at the time when I didn't know what liquid dreams meant....ew.... (to the music AND the liquid dream thing)

  • could someone upload the entire miss america pageant from 2000? (or at least the crowning moment?)

  • They're singing the right notes in the wrong keys.

  • They're singing the right notes in the wrong keys.

  • They're singing the right notes in the wrong keys.

  • i dunno i just dont think its that bad esp for a live performance esp considering everything is now lipsyncd

  • H.O.T was way better. They were there before BSB, Nsync Etc. Etc. Etc...

  • boy bands were so cool in the beginning of the 21st century..but now...Disney just taking over everything

  • Yeesh... At least N'SYNC and Backstreet could sing...

    Although, they're probably a lot better than I would be.

  • I remember watching this when it came on TV and just recoiling in horror at how off they were. It was even more noticeable on TV, if I remember correctly.

  • love song miss boy bands

  • I think the reason that it sounded so bad and off key was because they couldn't hear themselves. It also doesn't help that they're singing a song about wet dreams in front of millions of people lol.

  • Some people a so quick to judge! I duno where this came out of but i watched it anyways i used to like boybands like 10 years ago, they got a bit shaky towards the end but in general i Really think they pulled it off, and loving the michael jackson moves looked cool! GO o town

    jacobs a ride!

  • They were the hottest boyband.

  • @AdoraBelle86 no they were not. Backstreet Boys were. Nsync was close, but BSB was the hottest boyband.

  • This is OK because most boybands wouldn't even sing LIVE!!!!

  • @DollyMausDeux that isn't logic

  • @DollyMausDeux Bullshit.....BSB always did, and sometimes Nsync.

  • @GurlCaa actually... NSYNC always sang live, and Backstreet sometimes did.

  • liquid gay

  • its really not sooo terrible..

    think about it this is just them, their vocal ability without assistance and they arent so horribly bad, i mean what would britney, ashlee simpson, or any other artists have done? there are 5 of them and they composed themselves and kept it together the best they could... i dont even like boy bands but thats just an observation i made...

  • I remember this. It was like they were doomed from the start. They were such a good band, too.

  • Omgg i remembr thiss..i felt soo bad for them..they showed is on Making The Band

  • @spiffyzgrrl07 everyone remembers Rasheeda. It is so pathetic that you made all these accounts to spam and harass me. What did I ever do to you besides let you into my home and my life when I was 11 years old and I was already close to the boys and you were just jealous of me and everything I had so youy told everyone I was gay. Now my life is ruined and you keep laughing and throwing it all in my face. There are no contracts I am not legally bound and I DID write this song and others etc

  • lol they sound horible. i felt bad for them too

  • i think theres nothing wrong in what they just did there...

    some off key is natural because its live and they are dancing..

    but its pretty good..

  • OMG they were HELLA OFF haha

    Otown needs to make a comeback

  • try singing a song in front of a large audience and keep your composure as good as they did with no help.

  • lol I have tried. I can't sing. I love otown, just it was hella funny how they were hella off. Yea it's really hard to 5-part harmonize in a huge loud venue with no ear-piece audio

  • @realbeereels theyre not supposed to NEED help. thats the whole point. if they need help, they shouldnt sing for a career. what a stupid comment.

  • @UrbanLegend237

    Hahahahaha! Your response made me feel SO stupid, i can't even explain how terribly stupid i feel, for making a comment about common methods A MAJORITY of entertainers succeed in stage performance.... Really, i am so in need of helo from people as intellectually gifted people, like you... NOT. Go suck a dick. oh wait, sorry i forgot you don't need the suggestion as it is obviously an activity you probably engage in on a daily basis, i can tell by the conviction of your comment.

  • @realbeereels decipher this biotch!

  • @UrbanLegend237 decipher THIS! hah

  • @realbeereels LOLL i booked you first replied to yourself when you relle wanted to reply to me. what a DUMBASS, LOL!!! exposed!!

  • @UrbanLegend237 uh duh this shiz has a word limit and im not willing to scroll past so many comments. This isn't even worth getting all riled up about. So whatevs, its cool, good day :)

    p.s. just out of curiosity, what did you mean by "booked you first reply to me" is that some sort of slang or something, because i kinda didnt get that part.

  • @realbeereels well just by reading your comment...i cant tell your a dickwad, whos never been laid. or your mom is some whore at hooters. So bitch go keep sucking on your own dick like you do 24/7. And just to let you know, MAJORITY of entertainers DONT use aids to help sing on key. I don't know where you got that from. Maybe you've been watching too many cartoons. Maybe you should watch REALITY shows instead. Dipshit, trying to act smart. pussy fag.

  • hahah wow i was in the 8th grade when this was out lol.. I remember this. bad fail... they actually had a cool vibe tho.. most of thesee boy bands lip synced not them tho.. I hope all of them are financially stable now, i hate to see stories of people that make it to the top and then end up with nothing.

  • well, looking on the bright side, they actually SING, and not lipsync-ing. :P

  • just as i was thinking "they dont sound off?" i heard it lol

    i cant believe i never noticed how inappropriate this song was growing up... haha

    and ashley parker angel is sexier then the girl they are describing

  • i so remember this

  • wow i remember i was obsessed with them and making the band!! and i always loved all of them but jacob, but i loved jacobs voice! ah i remember this episeode when they did this and they like were in trouble lol i was in like 3rd or 4th grade woww

  • If you have a thousand people screaming at you you can't even hear your own thoughts, its gonna be really hard and if you start off key you are never going to find the key. Yeah, I think that they should have done better but considering that was accapella and they didn't know and the nerves, It could have been a lot worse too. I just feel bad for them becuase they aren't that bad.

  • Yeah it was pretty bad.

  • I thought they did pretty well

  • oh wow, i remember when they messed up this performance; it was sad, but they did a really good job on their dance moves considering they couldn't harmonize

  • I think they did great. They did soooo good considering how they were going all out with the dance moves.

    I can't stand blatant lip-synching, and unfortunately, that's all we see nowadays.

  • I'm sure they watched this later and immediately wished they could re-do it. Just a hot mess.

  • omg they sound horrible here....

  • i remember this.. i think they said their ear monitors weren tworking.. x_x... this is waaaay off to be just that... if you practice this all the time you shouldnt be missing the chords..

  • i can't even find the key!!! ......and obviously they can't either !! LOL

  • that's why it is not recommended to sing live while dancing!!!!

  • i think they r all good singers. but this song & tthe dancing really creeps me out & they ALL were bad off key, BAD. umm... & Dans voice is A-MAZING but he kinda sucked too! O & on 2:17 that was so totally gay??

  • I was so in love with them.

  • that was hilarious

  • i love these guys espaliclly Ashley Parker Angel they are wkd

  • people have to remember, hardly any performer sounds good live, cos they dont have a gud enuf mix on the vocal production, and when o-town or any other band sing accapella you will find that they all have exceptional vocal talents. thats not a fan statement, thats a fact. lol. but they are gud singers to be fare to them.

  • I always greatly disliked Eric's voice.

  • Wow that was bad. Rediculously bad. Legendary bad. If you can't tell how bad that was then your either deaf and should get your hearing checked or a tween because your taste in music pretty much sucks anyway! Cough Cough Jonas Brothers Cough Cough Miley Cyrus.

  • I hate Miley Cirus' and Jonas Brother's both music, but I am still a fan of Otown they're actually cool, and I'm not a fan of Miley's music tho she is very adorable and beautiful

  • I can't stand those types of music like Miley Cyrus and Jonas brothers' high school musical, and that gay ass song newsoulja boo god they r so damn annoying

    I like music like usher, otown nsync backstreetboys real romantic songs like that and california dreams

  • @JoePhan1986 me too man

  • wow at 1:12 you can tell they are really off pitch.

  • LOL this is magnificent

  • the entire thing is off pitch, like, horribly embarrassingly off pitch, you cant hear that?

  • They are so talented ! Seriously

  • This was live, there was no mess up in this performance. People Please.

  • 1:20 sounds so wrong haha

  • haha. You're mean, but you're telling the truth.

  • omgggggg.

  • it was good

  • oh it wasn't mess up. they were chorus each other and it was a live performance so they dance and sing at the same time it is hard to control the sound at the same level that why you heard the chorus louder than lead vocal.

  • Where's the mess up? Jacob can sing, and the other guys can't....

  • @jeanetmedetT

    yeah jacob is the only on key and actually sounds good

    his voice is so high

    like mj's

  • @JasonBourne342

    *one*

  • ahahaha

  • Cool haven't heard this song in awhile

    Thea all good

    Mean MAORI Mean

  • I think it sounds off because you can't hear who ever is singing the melody ( i think jacob). The other four guys' mics are up too high so it sounds off b/c you can only hear the four part harmony. Notice how Dan never goes off key once. Irregardless, the guys did their jobs properly, can't say the same for the guys in the sound booth

  • Oh yeah okay Dan is also an OK singer ;)

  • Irregardless is not a word.. :P

  • they sound awful and the song is worse

  • aw o-town! those were the good days! lol

  • I don't think the ear monitors are working. And the show must go on so you can't stop in the middle to fix it.

  • well at least they tried to sing live.

  • this progressively takes out my ear drums

  • the guy who sings a bit like jesse mccartney is actually pretty good...i think he holds it together :D

  • Noone sounds like stupid jesse mccartney

  • hmmm I think its off key ??? ...it sounds really bad ...

  • its not so bad after all..

  • I didn't think it was any worse than any other live performances I've seen. Mistakes happen and bands have off days.

  • i dont think it sounds bad at all. otown rulessss!!!!!!! pure talent

  • LOL

  • o. so how did they mess up in this performance? lol

    and how did you know that?

  • I think this was their first live performance on national tv...i think it could have gone a lot worse...it wasn't good, but definitely not terrible

  • i'm confused? when did the ear pieces fall off?

    ididn't think this vid was bad

  • stupid brown man lol

  • Awful, albeit they had a catchy tune or two, this live performance is well above embarrassment.

  • well that was painful to listen to

  • well, i cant blame o-town too much since the music went off, but i can blame the people who trained them. It's obvious they were not trained to handle mistakes. For that i feel bad. But they did keep going and for that i take my hat off to them. I wonder what each is up to.
