[dragon23889]

[OlivioJean]

HaHa!! OMG! (When I was like 12) I was going to go over to the states and get married to Zac Hanson!

[lisacs83]

I was 13 when this came out and I remember tape recording this off the telly and watching is over and over and over...

Ha! I was Hanson CRAZY! Totally in love with them. Awwww!

[OlivioJean]

@lisacs83 OMG - So did my sister and I! haha - Hanson was the best era to live through!

[OrintuskaXxX]

ANT AND DEC!! + HANDSON= what more could u want? ;DDD

[ciciraybeckah]

@pf126p oh no there adults now lol. this video was made in the late 1990's but it was uploaded in 2007. but in there 20's or 30's now. all of em are

[ciciraybeckah]

man they sound like the song live. they've grown up now though. its sad im 15 nd i herd this song since i was 2

[izzyjmusic]

omg. I remember recording this awards show on cassette. I'm pretty sure I still have it too! hahahaha Hanson!!!!! :D

[zigfried64]

One of the very few times I've ever seen Hanson lip-synching. And Zac does NOT look happy with it at all. Clearly they were doing so because they told to and did not like the idea. Hopefully they never did it again --every time I've seen them perform in front of an audience they were performing LIVE and they sounded terrific!

[ciciraybeckah]

gosh he sings like a girl. but his voice is so good

[azmariah94]

Weren't those two hosts from Britain's Got Talent? Dang, they've been around for a long time. I love the Hansons! Even if they're already in mid and late 20s and married, they're still hawt! Hawter than the Jonas~

[rocknrollgirl75]

im fan since 1997 , still fan and i always be fan !!!!

[123xLiz]

i still love hanson <3

[xiaoyugang18]

HANSON rollls!

[benwilmers]

Wow, Ant and Dec haven't aged in the last 15 years.

[HIMValo616]

yed, in europe they usually make the band lip sync. Like at "top of the pops" in europe. i hate that they do that. it doesn't make the band better just because they aren't singing live.

[LumberjackNicholas]

@pf126p LOL!

[cenajohnlover]

Hate playback :( Give the band a bad rep!

[josep893]

playback

[MaDaB1]

terrible lip sinking especialy the drums 

[redpaul79]

how the hell can anyone make music with that awful screeching?

[plegaric]

lip sing.. but still the best

[chiggerzero]

I didn't know Kate winslet can sing rock...

[HansonDreams]

he's 24

[drgoodspd]

2 funny

[roseam]

I'm 46 and a woman.When they started I knew they were guys and I loved them and today I still love listening to them and now that they're older you can tell they're guys not girls.

[ciciraybeckah]

@roseam lol i thought they were girls to when i herd it im 15 nd i listened to this song my whole life. i first herd it when i was about 2 lol

[EatMyWetJuicyTurd]

@roseam u masturbate to hanson dont u naughty 46yr old granny

[warderin1]

@EatMyWetJuicyTurd thats sick theres kids here listening to this song

[wotrabbitfish]

I suppose there's no harm in PRETENDING its a girl?

[janey1029384756]

Zacs is now 24

[tay12ash]

@jakemiller5000 what kind of sick freak says that? about anyone let alone kids? seriously, do u get off on calling taylor hanson a twat? i bet you do. perve! people like you make me ashamed to even be human. your a psychotic bottomfeeder, and you deserve to have your mouth washed out in soap. what, are you jealous bc its clear an 11 yr olds balls have dropped and yours hasnt? get a life.

[tay12ash]

@jakemiller5000 1. ITS THEIR LAST NAME! THAT CANT BE STUPID?!?! its a pronoun! 2. theyre kids. theyve bearly gone into puberty. i hope the hell you never have kids. youd probably beat them. you are honestly, the most ignorant person i have encountered. oh your cool, you can bash children on youtube. 3. its fine if you dont like them. but again, theyre kids. go listen to what theyre doing now, and then cheerfully shove it.

[HansonDreams]

I am a fucking GIRL you moron. You should really learn to use your quotations right. go back to grammar school. I think you might have a complex. You go out of your way to trash Hanson, calling taylor an ugly dude yet you probably spent your teenaged years jerking off to Hanson posters. Get a life.

[tay12ash]

@HansonDreams seriously, you are pretty much me hero.

[HansonDreams]

FUCK YOU hanson's more talented than you'll ever be anyway. Have you invented a word that was made into a hit song? no, didn't think so. if you have nothing better to do than to trash Hanson, than you seriously need a hobby. And Google.

[becky92jam]

Ant and Dec ;D <3

[1spazzy1]

all people are morons

[janey1029384756]

@jakemiller5000 You still didnt have to click on it, so you must of been interested lol.

[janey1029384756]

@jakemiller5000 Why are you searching for them then?

[larevolution27]

A lot of the European shows insist that you lip sink. Of course this is not live. You do not have to be a genius to figure that out. That does not mean that Hanson are not very talented song writers. They are still playing. Great musicians.

[andrazani]

Got the joke, did you?

[redpaul79]

what a lip synch job

[alicaurusrex]

Hahaha nice camera work Smash Hits, when the cameraguys block the screen! I remember watching this back in the day, good times :)

[eeramohd]

there is no way that he would still sound that prepubescent by that time.. they were lip-synching.. but they probly would've sounded much better live

[msboyshorts1]

They are not lip synching on this it was how the video was uploaded.

There are other video that are like this and not just of Hanson.

Love Hanson, Fan since 97'

[rachaelsiriusmarie]

YEs they are, I am from the UK and I have this on tape and they lip synched, you can hear the record sctratching off the album!!!!!

[janey1029384756]

Not everyone lip synched on TOTPs, I remeber ALOT of people singing live, eg, All Saints, Spice Girls, Oasis and Robbie etc.

[rachaelsiriusmarie]

This wasnt TOTP though

[janey1029384756]

They still mimed

[rachaelsiriusmarie]

LOL I am not denying they mimed bloody hell take a chill pill, if you look at my comment further down I was agreeing they mimed

[andrazani]

She's so hot!

...what?

[Daleroxxu]

did you fucking video your TV with your mobile phone? WTF shit quality

[janey1029384756]

Not with a mobile no and Its not that bad theres ALOT worse on youtube.!!!

[sunsetblvd20]

They have NEVER lip synced and they NEVER will.

[janey1029384756]

Trust me... they are lip syncing... everyone did on this show. They also mimed on Loose Women (UK program) but that wasn't Hansons fault as that show wont allow people to sing live.

[cher4995]

why are they not allowed to sing live on loose woman thats just crazy

[dubdubkong]

yeah! they are! i'm as angry as you, but. also. not.

[RTMKalEl]

They're clearly lip syncing..

[JoeCoolInc]

Not a big fan of this kind of music, but I can tolerate this song. In other words, it's okay...in MY opinion. PLEASE don't thumbs down me. This is a compliment.

[reuption]

Why say this if you don't want poeple to comment ?

[rovan1]

he didnt say he didnt want comments jst no negative ones or thumbs downs, he didn't wat people to think he was insultin the music

[hanson630]

these guys are great live...idk if you people really know what you're talking about. sometimes its easier to lipsync on shows because to actually set up the instruments would take a lot of time. and it's not like its a concert.

[aprimic]

Ant and Dec!!

[soccerxc08]

that sucks that they couldnt play live oo well hanson 4 ever!!!!

[haymarmas]

taylor hanson <3<3<3

[Lukeeeeo]

wow someone shat on ants head and proceeded to straighten in as they gently massaged streaks off piss into his hair MMBOP DUUOP! MMMP! DUUOO.. OOHOHOHO

[AndEyesRBloodShot]

OMG ITS ANT AND DEC! ahahah.

legends

[livstar93]

OMG ANT AND DEC AND MMBOP ALL IN ONE VID!!! OMG! TYOU ARE A GENIUS WHOEVER DECIDED THAT THEY SHUD COMBINE SUCH THINGS! woooo!

[bassistepiff]

Playback...

[Jojanneke83]

@ basistepiff - We know. Nobody was allowed to play live at this awardshow.

[nabilachiquititas]

i love the moffatts and hanson!!!!

[Luvgirl102]

omg i love the moffatts !!! & hanson haha

[tanzan02]

They are the best second to the Moffats - sniff,brings back memories!

[janey1029384756]

I loved the Moffats, Clint and Dave were my fave.

[tanzan02]

Actually dave is gay.. sory,but ive just known long ago.

[janey1029384756]

Oh I know, I knew years ago :-)

[xxxTHEWALKxxx]

what were their names clint dave ? ?

[janey1029384756]

The Moffatts were, Clint, Dave, Bob (triplets) and Scott!

[SatansFatUdder]

the song is quite okay, but the sound qualitya is even more impressive

[janey1029384756]

Was!!! Are you not now? Their latest album 'the walk' is amazin.

[LesRobeaux]

Yeah they were lip syncing there, but they are prtty good live

[janey1029384756]

Tut, that was cleaver of them lol!

[dissadavgud]

ohh zac was so cuteee!

[SuperDCFanNat]

lolz how can u tell that their lip-syncing?if they really are then taylor is awkwardly good at it...

[janey1029384756]

Coz they are! The music starts and in the back ground you can see Zac and he's sat there not playing as soon as the music starts, then you see him start playing. Plus it sounds just like the cd version!

[St0pTheNoise]

His leg was moving, the drumming was the drum pedal at:14-:15 when they show zacs legs the drum pedal is moving.

You don't always drum with your hands.

[meg33y]

I agree that they are lip syncing but your also an idiot. In NO part of this video is Zac not playing.

He is clearly playing right from the start. Open your eyes buddy.

[janey1029384756]

The music/drumming starts at 0.03 seconds, Zac starts playin at 0.04. Either way it doesnt matter, I was only letting everyone know that they are lip syncing.

[meg33y]

That comment makes you sound even dumber buddy Sorry.

Did you feel the need to slow it down to the point that you could see that did you? Or are you that silly that you cant see it is not the best video and therefore out of time with the singing. that means if the vocals are off then so is the guitar and so is the drums. its just a BAD video... Use your head.

[janey1029384756]

Get a life!

[mjameso]

No 2 versions of mmmbop should sound the same so their definitly lip-syncing.

[stcutie143]

i remember this one, they are hansons the rival of the canadian band the moffatts.

I remember during those time in elementary i follow their long haired fashion and just ended up in the principal office, guess what when i came out of the office im bald ^___^ good old memories

[Jojanneke83]

yes often bands and singers aren't allowed to play and sing live on award shows... such a shame. i can listen to my cd if i want to hear this... oh well. not the bands fault! and still nice to look at.

[skypies]

Tay is ridiculously good at lip syncing.

[RumikoKuchiki7]

AAHH!! yo teniaa 6 añooooss ! XDDD,

todavia me la acuerdooo xD

amo esta cancioon ♥ ♥

[skypies]

When Taylor gets his own award, Zac's face is like, "Wtf?"

Haha.

[eatxyerxtv]

I remember the first time I saw the mmmbop video, It looked to me that Taylor was a tomboyish girl so I was shocked when I found out he was not.O_O

[lauramcclean]

Exactly , ME 2!

[Dezdrums]

i loved how they had long hair !!!!!

[tinajezwita]

me too they are on this video so cute<3

[jajceboy]

LOL, i think we have this hole Smash Hits concert recorded on a VHS. Sweden used to send these concerts for some years and then justr stopped.

I think this is the one where Janet Jackson, BSB and Spice Girls perform as well.

Nice concert.....

[ihategohip]

lip syncing doesn't really work when everybody know that Taylor's voice changed.

[saskewoo]

lol

It's true, though XD

[xsnowbelx]

wow its been 11 years and good thing is that you still carefully kept this video.. ^__^

[vanillabebs]

oh gosh, i feel like finding this album now! thanks for uploading this smash hits performance, i haven't seen this footage for ages.

[Lawpro7]

it looks like you recored this from the tv..... they showed it on there in 07?

[janey1029384756]

Yeah it was from the tv, thats the only way I can get it on to the computer. I recorded this in 97.

[lilleanna06]

they were forced to lip sync

[talus33]

everyone in the crowd is just like wtf there not singing

[gregoreth666]

playback

[gavlaing]

ive never heard them play this song in the same key as the cd. they usually change key coz its too high to sing

[janey1029384756]

Lol, its ok.

[janey1029384756]

Yeah they are, I put it in the write up thingy --->

[cali4life741]

lip syncing hahaha

[nathanielsbaby]

dude the youngest one (don't know who's name is what) looks PISSED. He looks utterly miserable

[janey1029384756]

Thats Zac, he's probs miserable coz they had to mime!!!

[aerorox1263]

was just about to say, lol

[behindblueeyes84]

I was at this show - they were NOT happy they had to mime!

[aerorox1263]

i remember watching this live... i was 11 or 12 years old

[fourtrips]

hey i was 9!!

[rebelvj]

gosh..this makes me think of jonas brothers 10years from now!

Mmmbop...i was like 5 or 6 years old that time..!

[aerorox1263]

no way, hanson are more talented than the jonas brothers ever will be. have you heard hanson's new stuff? substance.

[myrmyr1983]

i love them!

[myrmyr1983]

so many memories.... i LOVE HANSON!!!!

[JonasBabe07]

i love this song !!

[IGBIAM]

at :31 it kinda looks like he screwed up

[janey1029384756]

who? I cant see anythin wrong.

[IGBIAM]

The guy on the guitar....If you just watch it it looks like he hears it so he trys to get back in it...

[HiChieffromnz]

please please please if u have the video of this 97 smash hits, would u please be able to upload kavana: i can make u feel good, from it.i have looked everywhere. he was so hot n doesnt dance like that in any other video of him.

[janey1029384756]

Sorry I only recorded the groups I really liked n dont have Kavana sorry.

[wishuponastar42]

zac looks lyk hes shittin his self lol bless hes only a baby ther xxxxxxx♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ luv tay♥ ♥ ♥

[janey1029384756]

Totally lol

[DogSw3de]

Why they sung playback?

[DVDFreaker]

Because you are a faggot bitch

[DogSw3de]

Oh, so that's the reason. Cool. I have always wondering about that.

[rachaelsiriusmarie]

I think they had too, sometimes on UK tv they had to sing to the cd

[fishfoodlad]

live my heiney

[janey1029384756]

I mean it as in a 'live concert'. You can well tell their miming

[clairehumpge1]

Ah i hate it when they mime........plus you can tell cause Taylor Pulls the same faecs in the real vid

[chezzietart]

So they are not playing or sining? Ok I get the sining but how do you NOT play the drums without making noise?? Oh well I will still watch and be happy. Thanks 4 the post!

[icier]

Oh they are not really singing! It's just a show. Cos I was tooooooooooooo familiar with every detail of this song, it's very the same with the record version. You can here the scraching disc's sound, and Ike's guitar even don't have lines.

[hansOnaQt]

awesomeee!!!! como siempreee ^^

[metroidfreakazoid]

...Lipsynced... Still cool! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

^_^ Ike is really cute here. =D

[gtovc]

they lipsyncd this

i played the vid along with the original recording, Sound levels are identicle

disapointed.

[janey1029384756]

Yeah, you can tell that they are miming coz when ant n dec are introducing them the music starts n Zac isnt even playin lol. Its quite funny!

[metroidfreakazoid]

That would be actually really hilarious if they were actually playing. XD

[gtovc]

not the best performance

but still fucking awsome

go boys go

[J5JBJMFaN15]

I love this song! HANSON IS AWESOME!

[janey1029384756]

[LoveTheAnimeForever]

I love them! Their music has only gotten better and better

[suzy83]

[stick1903]

[AngelBug8580]

I wish they were really singing during that performance lol.

[stacyviacomsucks]

[chansherly212]
