  • It was no ones fault? What about the idiots who broke barrier? Or the ones who charged forward and knocked people down and trampled on people? Or the people who pushed so hard they over powered the police? Or the ones with no brains that joined in? It doesn't matter that it was free or that they were there before JLS they should not have done it!

  • thump up if you were they

  • @123olivialove i was there aswell i got a sprained ankle :\ it was really scary i lost like all of ma mates

  • guys u dont know the facts

    1st, it was a free gig

    2nd, no one knew how many people would turn up

    3rd they arrived before even JLS were there, so at the end of the day ITS NO ONES FAULT

    4th, i was there, it was scary and i was not badly hurt but people was and there is no need to laugh at them

    5th they aint auto-tuned, they can sing live

  • How could anyone be that dumb though... so you're missing a fucking performance, BIG DEAL, get over it, no need to break the law!

  • All this for a load of auto-tuned shite

  • just brummies being their usual thick selves

  • @pyro999maniac go fuck your self you ball-less prick

  • @doomman355 they obviuosly are thick if they still keep going forward into barriers and police when you venue is full and the police have told them to leave

  • haha glad Plmouth's isnt like this, maybe cause we dont have jls to run away from :P 

  • Everyone was running away from JLS

  • the screaming fucking fans are just bitchzz

  • i went to that

    and i ended up with brused ribs and a broken wrist,i also fell over from all the people pushing and got stamped on,i no never to go to that again.

  • @TheAbbie12398 what happened?

  • @Clarky1966 That joke isnt even funny! Learn to get some good joke mm?

  • Comment removed

  • all this to watch christmas lights?LOL

  • Don't blame JLS ! They were one of the first to preform, among other stars. There were many other fans of different artist, not just JLS fans! :)) xx

  • jls my arse ,

  • Its Not JLS's Fault......Its Not Fair Coz They Are Sorry For What They Didn't Do :( xx

  • I'm so glad I didn't go to that!! My mate said she went and was quished cause she was in the middle of that crowd and said she bruised her ribs and broke her arm! But tbh that's what happens when there is a free event with masive celebs there, so it ain't jls's fault cause they didn't organise the event! They just agreed to sing for everyone!!! If they didn't want any injures then why put it as a free event? Shld of made it so people had to pay to get in, that way no one would of got hurt and t

  • I was there. It was horrible

  • stupid muppets that is for football matches not x-mas lights being swiched on lol

  • Aw poor JLS ;[ they apoligized for this and it wasnt their fault :/ <3

  • haha lol i was there lol me and my sis were laughing cuz we were like at the front and ran for r lives when we got let out lol xx

  • i was there, it was hetic tbf they should of done it so you had to pay, beause if its a free event and all those clebs are there, people are bound to go tbff

  • criminals & immigrants including 15 million Brits unemployed had destroyed Britain.

  • God its only gay ls

    

  • Well how silly was it normally the headline acts are not as good and at this there was loads of amazing acts , pixie lott , calvin harris , jls , taio cruz , and they expect the same amount of people to go . MY mate had her earings ripped out , I was crushed and nearly fainted and my other mate had to be carried over the barrier and had to take time off skwl because of damage to her ribs . They shud have made this concert have much less people and done it like a ticket style event

  • I Was Here , Some People Were Soo Pathetic, Honestly All Me And My Friends Wanted Was To Enjoy Ourself And See All The Celebraties Yet Some Hooligans Had To Ruin It "/ Pathetic Really .. For Goodnes Sake There Were Kids There Wanting To See JLS But Instead They Ended Up Hurt ! WTH ??

  • its not JLS fault in anyway there was to many people there so dont go and blame it on them!!!!

  • Okay this was not JLS'S fault & deffo not the JLS fans fault. This what happends when theres a popular band in town & a free concert nobody could help what happend that day there was to many people. i went & i was at the back you can see a brick wall me & my friend had to climb that to get out it security had to carry us away because my head started to hurt & i got dizzy because we got crushed up the wall i had bruises but it was worth seeing glimps JLS. the pain was excruseating tho.:/

  • jesus...

  • It wasn't even the JLS fan's fault that this happened cause me and my friend were at the front with all the genuine nice people getting crushed and it was just all the people at the back mucking around doing the pushing and crushing, whenever it was shouted back for them to stop it just got worse. JLS were amazing though and it was a shame a wicked day had to get cancelled due to such pathetic people. Rant over :L

  • ha ha ha fuickin coppers got walked over wankers

  • for all of the people that have made bad comments about JLS that isnt very nice .... all the haters are just JEALOUS PEOPLE !! love yah JLS xx

  • SAD PEOPLE

  • JLS ARE BASTARDS HURTING THOUSANDS

  • yh funny day :L the only reason big crowe cuz there was supposed to be bout 10 celebs der :L not just jls! :P

  • Paha this is funny :')

    No matter what group/band it's for.

    The organizers still failed :')

    Silly people!

  • People are so fucking stupid these days. Should have water cannoned the fuckin lot of em!

  • i find it so insulting that grown adults are calling people who like JLS disabled. I don't understand why people do that it is rude, insulting and makes you look like a complete dickhead. i hope one day you have an accident which makes you disabled so you can understand how disturbing your comments are.

  • sounds like a big flock of seabirds

  • jls,sounds like some kinda superstore

  • they look like ants, i just wanna step on all of them. they're screaming pisses me off. :(

  • i was thare

  • I was there at this event with my mates.

    but i thought i would never see something like this happen, everybody running in just 2 see bloody JLS, JLS who are they, just some over rated popular girl band.

    if you want to go & see them go and bloody marry them.

    and another, think tank, i was trapped in there with my mates, there was a girl that got crushed.

  • usual girls liking a group simply for how they look ; /

  • hate jls fans they are so fucking stupid if you are a jls fan you are a retard

  • @josh76618 i %100 agree with you on that (:

  • If i had any talent for video editing i'd love to make a little mufasa falling down into them

  • stupid cunts i was there and a bunch of sad people were just so desperate to see jls that people just hadto get injured.a women in wheel chair was pushed over by the jls fans but they didnt care selfish litle pricks

  • but u can blame ppl for being selfish and not thinking about other ppls lifes

  • i was there

  • yh well not all of us are like dat so shut up if it was whereva u come from then the same would happen.

  • I am actualii ashamed to say i live there.Its discustingg.But it is partly there fault,As having one of the Boggest and Fittest boybands there..Bhut Birmingham..U selfifh people.:@

    I went,But i went AFTER JLS.

  • @xxtdubzxx, i agree with u on what u said.

    it was partly there fault on what happened, they kept telling us to go back even though we couldn't go any further.

    and the bloody JLS fans were so disrespectful, by running through barriers, just to see their future husbands, i'll have 2 make one thing perfectly clear they will never be husbands to any girl, they probably all have GF, perfect career, perfect future for them etc.

  • JLS are a horrible corporate manufactured kiddies band. It's probably just about acceptable to like them if you are a 12 year old girl as that is what they were created for. If you like JLS and you are not a prepubescent girl then you most probably have some kind of learning disability.

  • Selfish people almost causing deaths for their own enjoyment!

  • i was THERE :D

  • JLS Are Amazing And If You Watch The Videos Of JLS In Birmingham Theres Also Alot Of Boys There. Ye Cant Blame People For Being Into Good Music !! And None Of Yous Can Do Better So Dont Be Jealous Yeah ?!

  • tbh JLS are good but people nearly quite literally died to see them. People aren't jelous cause they came of x-factor and the is plenty of other people exacly like them if not better =S

    I was right by them yellow jackets and I really wont forget the horror of it. People being crushed right infront of me and me not being able to do anything about it because I'dve hurt them more by falling on them. Little kids lost in that crowd as well .. Yeah JLS are great .. but really that was ridiculous

  • @QuiGgYo9 shut up you idiot

  • @josh76618 why you tellin me to shut up ? did i say them people deserved to get squashed ? no ! all i said woz that JLS are amzing! so you shut up!!!!

  • your just a pathetic wanker

  • oh am i a wanker ? you'd wana look in the mirror there! and how am i pathetic exactly ? did you even read my comment ?

  • yes and you sound like a cock

  • so i sound like a cock for saying that JLS amazing ? :/ yeah you seriously need your head checked!!

  • your going to need every bone in your body checked if you dont shut your mouth you dumb tramp i kick the shit out of ya

  • hahahaha! you crack me up! i'd love to see you try!! you wont get very far, trust me dumbass!!!!!

  • suck your mom you fucking pussy

  • jls are shit so get over it

  • @josh76618 if they were so shit you wouldnt be wasting your time replyin!

  • things that happen when u don't have guns. don't think they would be running if you start shooting.

  • I hate how people judge birmingham o stuff like thus. To many bands were rumoured to be playing that day causeing way too many people to turn up. I'm glad I'm not into that music and was just in pigeon park. Because while I go to standing gigs. What happened here us pathetic. But Birmingham still is a cool place. Just has a fair amount if imatyre people. But hey where doesn't (:

  • All this for a really shite puffy boy band! Stupid girls as usual!

    (common sense)

  • Comment removed

  • Contact made to lift all up and out of it, all that is evil death, and all want to stay in it, serving all that is evil death, against my will, the will of my son returned, and all of eternal life my heaven, and I am obliterating it, the cesspit of humanity, so what are you going to do?, you better do something if you like a cup of tea in the morning.

  • fucking hell thats a joke just 4 jls thats fucked up

  • Christmas light...ITS BLOODY NOVEMBER!

    WTF?

  • idiot, you have the lights on through Nov - Beginning of Jan.

  • Are you from birmingham why are you taking offense. Im not disputing that they are on from november through to january i just think they shouldnt be. Christmas shouldnt be a three month commercial holiday. I have eyes micro penis.

  • All this to see fucking JLS?

    Stark raving bollock mad.

    Put them down.

  • i was there, i was raped 12 times by different groups of women. one was a man.

  • bloody idiots, to see some stupid guys singing, mad

  • Shut the fuck up you gay dumbass!

  • I love riots

    See that copper?

    Kick his faacking head in.

  • omfg UK

  • Wot the hell!

  • I was there. It was horrendous. Some local youths pushed me out my wheelchair and started calling me names. All I wanted to do was see the lights turned on. I haven't left the house since this incident. I'm terrified

  • Lol dickheads. JLS are fucking shite anyway.

  • they cud have died... idiots. lol- see the yellow police in one small group!

  • Oh no, police brutality!

  • dumb girls :D

  • lol stupid chavs

  • @moman88 you think there chavs ?? shows how much you know.

  • ahahahhahahahahha

  • pathetic retards, causing destruction for a stupid boy band.

  • i was there but i was already inside as iv been 4 times before so i knew it gets packed, i went with 3 of my friends im 13 and it was so scary i got pushed away from my friends i was stuck a group of boys and girls pushing to get to the front while we were getting pushed so many people i didnt think it was that bad untill the next day i read in the paper abot 60 people getting crushed,bad idea with the great acts there and it being free who knows a few more and we all could have been killed!

  • cool story

  • one girl actually got stabbed up there

  • No they didn't.

  • why dont they all just go home and have a nice cup of tea instead,

  • why?

  • Looks to me like bad planning//lack of foresight by the event organisers. There doesn't appear (from this video) to be anywhere near enough police here.

    Lets see - boyband plus excitable teens. Nope I'm sure nothing can go wrong... ;)

  • stupidity!

  • Retards risking their lives for a fucking boyband.

  • Typical British behaviour. Nobody has any fucking patience; it's all ME ME ME. Plus, never thought I'd hear "stampede" & "JLS" in the same sentence. Tragic taste in "music" & CHRISTMAS FUCKING LIGHTS! How premature.

  • This day was so crazy.. it wasn't even a laugh.. it was just scary.

  • i was there :D

  • and here we have 20,000 retards.

    not an ounce of common sense to be had.

    or a brain cell to rub between them

  • i was there, who u callin a retard but am not JLS Fan am Chipmunks fan And he was ment to perform buh then it got cancelled.

  • Well, your piss poor grammar and spelling doesn't help you.

    It doesn't surprise you were there. idiot.

  • There were many a generation there and all of various intellect, without the assumption of the crowd being entirely retards.

  • Shouldn't really need barriers. Just lines to stand behind. Disgraceful behaviour.

  • WOW!

  • what happened was this

    someone let out an almighty fart that stunk aweful and everyone just needed to get away

  • lol

  • I have never seen a group of more selfish individuals. All those who pushed the barrier and ran through it are animals. It is only by sheer luck you didnt kill anyone. You mindless twats.

  • i was there, not in the crowd of dumb fucks tho,

  • it was an issue with the secure fencing as it blew down the night before and they didnot have time to solve the problem and went a head, so the councill should had looked at it when u have top clebs and only expect 5,000 to start with then its going to happen, its obvious whereever you go not just BHAM

  • Are the screams in a loop? it sounds repetitive.

  • birmingham is full of illiterate un-employed council house pigs. shoot them all.

  • HEY! I'm from birmingham and though I was embarrased by the actions of the twats there we're not all illiterate!!! I can write in english with full grammer, and have the ability to use rudimentary tools!!! You want to shoot venom then take aim at the intellectually challenged apes that dwell in the council building who organised the event you small minded stuck up southener!!!!!!!

  • LOL, i bet you havent even been to birmingham.

  • English do you sperm it lmoa I was dere lol

  • i was dere.....it was epic!!

    but it wasnt our fault da fence went down......da police was stoppin ppl watchin jls and trynna cramp them into a big gap behind the wall where we could not hear or see anythin!!

    den we jus had 2 do it!

  • I was there. It was the police to blame. English is your first fault. The police could do nothing as you and your mindless muppets broke the barrier. Trust you to blame others for your stupidity.

  • Comment removed

  • this is what x factor does to people

  • The good old KeyStone Cops on duty again.. Epic fail

    HAHAHAHAHA !! It is only birmingham afterall, what have they given us apart from brum (my boy likes it) ;O)

  • 0:35 top left corner i watched it all from the wall top :D desaster

  • What a load of Morons , Let the cattel trampled over each other , anyone who puts themself though that to look at lights being turn on ,well I dont think we would loose anyone of importance.

  • haha idiots

  • WOOP WOOP i went there

    I WANTED TO SEE CALVIN HARRIS xD

    if thats sad sorry :/

  • i dont av any xmas lights in my house n wont avin any over xmas, guess im a wanted man in birmingham! lol

  • lol im soo glad i didnt go

  • the should have just bombed that shit hole anyway...wouldnt have made much of a differnce!!

  • SAD BASTARDS!!!! I wish the thick British public would show the same amount of enthusiasm for British politics as they do about JLS and X Factor, then maybe the counrty wouldn't be in such a state!

  • Very true.

  • Well Said

  • Good thing it was cancelled, a line-up that shitty doesn't deserve to go ahead anyway.

  • holy shit man,people in birmingham go crazy for xmas lights lol,really,getting excited over a few fairy lights

  • LOOOL i was going to go there as well i wish i went..

  • haha i was at the front by the stage :P .. lol was crazy mad though! but JLS were worth it XD

  • what a bunch of idiots,it looks like a scene from a battle movie,

  • lol all that to do with fcking Christmas Lights

  • @matty991

    You are saying that we are the uneducated ones when you cannot even spell pretty.

  • HYSTERIA OVER WHAT? its jls not the beatles!!  morons!

  • Well when JLS and people like chipmunk and and n-dubz get to the top of our charts it's not suprising that people's taste in music in this country is just fucking awful.
