[XairguitarstarX]

Chislet. All I'm gonna say.

[dAmAcA92]

[titoVir]

maybe the audio quality just sucks that's why he doesn't suounds good..

[AnjelaMaika]

his voice sucks. love the song tho.

[HPfan6]

@AnjelaMaika no it doesn't it must be the sound quality check this video out and see watch?v=QXkWuDDqe2Q (that is not my video and it is related to this so I am not spamming or promoting except for promoting that he has a excellent voice)

[titoVir]

@AnjelaMaika very true..

[coocooforcocopuffs27]

luv the song, but he sorta sucks live

[mystereochild]

@coocooforcocopuffs27 he really doesn't. i saw them last november.

[HPfan6]

@coocooforcocopuffs27 I've seen them live twice and they really don't I think it's the sound quality of this video or something

[roxyyy3]

Why is the singer in this song sooooooo skinny?

[zacefronisbomb]

damnn william is so fucking hot!

and NO HE'S NOT GAY!

he has a fiance and a three year old daughter!

[xxjessiemessy]

I'm def the girl in the front with the red hair. :)

[incubus1345]

todavia desentona mucho el vocalista, le falta experiencia...

[Streetglow805]

At least he doesn't have any chest hair. Hahaha.

[ClaUdiaHm162]

[AlizabethMC]

Daaammnnnnnnnnnn williamsss hotttttt

[rai109]

oh yeah i love this song!

[scribblesmania]

its like the crowd is quiet because they reallyreally wanna hear the new song, and also because they cant sing along lol,

I KNOW HE"S NOT GAY, but he could wear a different shirt, just saying

[DrimbaDrimba]

purple is a sick color for v necks :S

[CourtneyLovesBeckett]

Wow.

That is so lame.

How can a guy be a lesbian?

But no, he is not gay.

And they're the best.

It was one of their first times playing this song acoustic, so that's why William's voice was a tiny bit off at times.

But other than that, it was amazing :D

Like always!

[DEVONSITO]

guat

[ShouldibeWorried]

i love how quiet the crowed is, its like there not even there

[Theacademyishot]

I love bill n chislett!

[leesamcr07]

he sounds amazing....

[cjrl21]

he always uses the same guitar-.- but im not hating... :P THEY RULEEE!:P

[iheartrealhiphop]

he always wears that shirt but im not hating...

[EmoShopBoyz]

this is sick i love TAI and this song

[Foulds2013]

I remember when I heard this song live at warped. I became obsessed with it pretty quickly. :D

-sigh- <3

[xTWILIGHTPARAMOREx]

ok...i love the song..but i hate to say this, and no offence but he really does a bad job for the chorus....sry

[bethechangexx]

Ditto that. But watch out, you will get a lot of thumbs down from angry fangirls :P

[hellohellotallyn]

look at Chislett's hair blowing in the wind, haha

[CandyyCore]

haha , it looks great xD

[0o0WhenItRains0o0]

wooow... i did like them...but dude he CANNOT sing. this hurts my ears... that's to bad.

[sssofiaaaboom]

yeah. fruity and loopy lol

[WEARiNGNeoNSNeAKeRZ]

Well maybe the shirt makes him feel good

william is so awesome... i think him and the shirt look hot

[princessmesilly]

he looks kind of like a lesbian

[VivaLaRasta2009]

HA!

[crypticcollision]

absolutley wonderful(:

such a great song!

[dudebrodude2132]

i know hes not gay but SERIOUSLY that really is a fruity shirt. good song though

[IEATBREAKFAST2]

that dood is still alive?

[XXILoveAMrotek7XX]

um, how can bill be gay when the song is called "About a Girl"? duh. think people. obviously, he's not. TAI rocks xD

[0o0WhenItRains0o0]

he is bisexual. and he might not have written the song.

[XXILoveAMrotek7XX]

how do you know that he's bisexual? he did write the song. gosh, people judge him solely on his looks and that's not fair.

[0o0WhenItRains0o0]

I know because i was a DIE HARD fan. And if you look on any website about them then you will hear about it. We are not judging him on his looks, it's just that he is.

[lorenxiero]

verga que de la chingada canta, pero que riko esta

[nam1dsd]

y is he always wearing that shirt

[SummerRox7]

idk why don't you go ask him? =P

[azncreampuffx3]

I love you, William! :D

[noambd]

HE is a little nervous, and he sure has a reason.

Love this song, such a great one <3

[volcomness]

William [the singer] isn't gay. Trust Me. That boy is not gay. And anyways. He does seem really nervous. But this is like one of the first times they sang this song, thats why the crowd is like soooo quiet. cause now, they can't get people to NOT sing along with them at their concerts. this is one of my favourite songs. i really like The Phrase That Pays, too. They've done a great job changing their sound, but remaining really really really good. The Academy Is... is amazing. :d

[labbein10]

I dont care..I still lovey thyss song!!!

[MAGGERMUFIN]

u know the quality of the vid was prolly not all that great...luv this song

[sparkypin777]

lol William sounded nervous xD and y was the crowd so quiet =P TAI rulez =)))

[photoboothgirls]

shiz i was there how come i didnt see this !!?

[CourtneyLovesBeckett]

Wow!

All of you that said William Beckett is gay are completely wrong.

He Is NOT Gay.

Haha I promise :)

[guitarristazz]

is the singer gay? im just asking, im not insulting or anything...

[CourtneyLovesBeckett]

Hell No!

He's not gay! :)

[winkwinkers799]

Yeah singing high up is hard

[KillerBear111]

this was probably before they were even done with the cd, so they probably didnt do this song too many times live

[mariliia]

he is gay! but cool song ^^

[enriquegm0119]

effeminate

[bethechangexx]

I love the studio version of this song.. but this is really weak :(

[xilovebassists]

he probably wasn't warmed up

and seriously, it's not easy singing high up

[XxhahaHollyxX]

hes hott and all

but it kinda seems like he wasnt sure what to do with his hands

like he looks uncofterable

[bananas1on1]

ohemjee i love this song, i love this band, and i am in love with william beckett!!! he has the most ah-mazing smile i have ever seen!

[natwolffisfabulous]

this song is like number 3 on my favorite song list

[7spark23]

it wasnt that bad, but yea not their best.

[LouiseLollipop]

Where can you watch the video?

[haruhiland]

this wasnt their best performance

[Rockies4life]

then they must b really good live i mean this is really good but iv also never heard them live

[chilil57]

when a singer sucks live it shows they have no talent because their vocals are all polished up in the studio

[lanrules101]

yeah... it does.

well that doesn't apply here tho.

[SarahAyanna]

It sounds....not very good live.

[DemonCupcakee]

you try singing that high.

[veggiemandy]

He looks like Donny Osmond. And Ally Sheedy. He's captivating.

[eilier]

He Looks Like Ben Barnes

[totallybeca]

i think he did rather well singing live. [: way better than most bands are live. maybe a bit pitchy, but still awesome.

[DemonCupcakee]

he always wears that shirt. xD

[smartgirl278]

yeah but at least it looks good :)

[DemonCupcakee]

very true. (:

[CodyStarship]

William is so hot XD

[Edercoree]

awesome song !

[rawrxangel]

hate how they got all famous. :[

[crimsonknight93]

Damn hipsters.

[sabrinadeleon05]

how did they get famous??

[rawrxangel]

i guess by this song.

they were pretty indie before

[dancejunkie16]

gawh i love them.

[deathbychocolate13]

this song makes me dance like mad.

[HOOKMEUPHOMEYYY]

awesome song

[nikki1939]

i wanna say they were good, cause i like he band. but he cant, well doesnt in this video, sing very well live.

[michellelynnx]

ahh i love his muscle tees! lol... but he wasnt so good on the high notes

[edwardorito]

it looks like he's wearing the same clothes from the music video

[punkydeep]

they suck because they sound just like tons of other bands that there are today. theres no originalty in the sound or theme of the songs. plus they all look just like a bunch of other bands, but thats the least of it. the point is that they're not original in the least bit.

[FueledByFrancescaFOB]

the academy is... is absolutely amazing!(:

they're incredible live, so everyone saying they suck obviously hasn't seen them.

& they're complete sweethearts, too <3

[punkydeep]

these guys are a bunch of cocksucking corporate whore puppets. also they stole nirvanas song name. About a girl is nirvanas song not theirs. these sappy poseurs dont should be ashamed

[AimeeRawrs]

how are they 'cocksucking corporate whore puppets' as you put it? Sure they 'stole' Nirvanas song name but you think about how many times thats happened before! and they are not 'sappy poseurs ' they are a good band so I think you shouldnt be right up there ass saying how crap they are because you might not like the band but other people do! So go bother some other band!

[elliodash3point14]

hahaha, you suck. fuck you.

[18jela89]

not so good performance :S. he can't sing highly very well.

[HugabearNo7]

This was a awesome performance

William can see great live, and anyone who says he can't hit the right notes,

what do you know about hitting the right notes.

TAI ROX FOREVER!!!!!

[hijosdelare]

esta cancion es muy wena

exelente grupo!!!!!!!!1

[thisdayjustbelongedt]

holey shit i go to barrington high! too bad this band sucks tho...

[warenluva]

his shirt is weird, but tat doesnt mean he suks!! but in the chorus, he suks! he sound betta in the mtv!

[warenluva]

i luv this song! i was watching mtv, and i saw it..and now i luv it!!

[hantaro12]

luvvv his voice. =)

[devon6627]

is that leed singer a boy or girl because i was wating mtv hits and it came on and it looked like the lead singer had tits

[biggestfanofthe]

okay i really like this song but whenever william beckett sings live he sounds terrible.... he cant hit the right note in the chorus. but u do love the song :]

[ImLiveingALie]

This was a great performance...I was waiting in line for the Cobra Starship signing but could see this cause my sister kept my spot :D....it was a great way to pass the time :)

[HugabearNo7]

thats awesome :)

[ImLiveingALie]

Oh yeah, my sister was really cool about it too, considering she'd missed almost all of their actual set that day. I think she did it because they're my favorite band and I got REALLY sick like right in the middle of their real set...so yeah...

[HugabearNo7]

your sister is very nice:)

BTW I love your username :)

[ImLiveingALie]

Thanks...she is pretty awesome :) your username is just as sweet :D

[DansBandsCaravan]

who care's what he looks like and what he's wearing. wow

[londonlush]

This song is amazing, acoustic, plugged in, it just doesn't matter.

[JennyhasOJD]

awesome!

[hendermi]

1, the guitarist is british, and 2, the lead singer, although i enjoy their music, the lead singer looks like a girl, tight pants and a v neck shirt, my little sisters wear shirts like that...no offense to the guy, cuz in a band its about the music, but he does look like a girl

[boywholied]

he is not british, he's australian

[missxmechanical]

the guitarist, Micheal Guy Chislett, is Australian.

[GuitarFreak96]

u dnt kno a fuckin thing about TAI so dont even comment

[kylexwhite]

who cares if hes wearing the same shirt? are you only susposed to wear a shirt once?

[MarryMeBillBeckett]

William is so amazing live. He is so damn hot and talented :D i've seen many videos of him wearing the same shirt, but idk he looks great on it :D, Chizzy is so talented as well. One of my favorite songs.

Much love TAI <3

Santi :D

[emilyownsarat]

He's such a goof. ^_^

[Spaztasticnes]

he's chewing gum. you're not supposed to chew gum while you sing...he still sounds awesome though.

[AznSensation131521]

maybe thats how he sings with gum in his mouth

[shelbybelby101]

<3

william is such a cutie

[SnoboarderTPOH]

who cares wtf he looks like, hes an entertainer, there to play/make music. I don't like this band, don't really know much about them, but I love music. This dude isn't trying to model, he isn't claiming/trying to be a sex symbol...who gives a shit if he looks like a chick. Bet he pulls more ass than anyone hating on him....truuuth

[standevouz]

sexy

[blacktabby95]

i heart william and his girlish figure

[JaneaDarling]

i love william :)

when i met him i cried.

hes a babe.

[VEXXJES]

this song is awesome!!!!!!!!!!11

[Ryanscupcake]

Anyone else just think he's a really really really flat chested woman?

I mean he's really feminine...

[rawritsannie]

you're really feminine.

[Ryanscupcake]

I'm actually really manly. I'm hairy and everything.

[rawritsannie]

Your mum's really manly and hairy.

[FrozenCero]

By manly of course you mean really fat, bald, and living in your moms basement.

[Ryanscupcake]

Wow. You figured me out exactly.

I'm not even mad, I'm impressed.

[bas0nd]

you're just a gorilla with brains
