      Oh Come On.
      How many artists and bands can this guy claim to have been a "BIG SUPPORTER OF FOR A WHILE!"
      We read what you "support" everyday
      You aren't the one finding these bands turd, there's no glory in saying you were a fan before anyone else, particularly when you're a lying shit

      You know, there was a muppet song on Sesame Street back in the 80s where they're in a phone booth singing "Hey operator, please…." something something, whatever the song was about.
      Coincidence?
      Seriously, who uses operators anymore? You call the operator and they yell at you for calling them.

      .
      This video is A LOT like that one White Stripes video where they did lapse footage of the drum set moving around outside called 'The Hardest Button to Button'. It came out in '03.
      Its nowhere near as impressive as the original.
      .
      Not impressed.

      Get a grip people! Who cares whether he is getting paid for showing this good work. Makes a little light relief from all the bubble gum stuff….reality folks, for real. Thanks for keeping us on the right track….

      SHE HAS A FAT PIG FACE & SINGS LIKE BRITTANY SPEARS. SHE LOOKS LIKE A BLACK HAIR MISS PIGGY!

      28

      why the fuck do thy have to start the song with "and"?

    29. autom says – reply to this


      29

      The song is fine but the video is a far less impressive rehash of Michel Gondry's video for The White Stripes. (Like "soup" said)

      I've seen their other videos, these guys have been much more creative!

    30. Miche says – reply to this


      30

      Wow, how does that girl eat with that enormous tongue she has. I thought Archuletta had an oddly fat tongue.

    31. NO! says – reply to this


      31

      Perez! Honestly?! You think thats good. I don't know if the lisp turned me off or the fact that it just sucked.



    32. 32

      Her voice is god awful. And she is sort of hard to watch when she is "singing."
      BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

      the teenagers have this amazing remix of this song on their remix's myspace page!!!!!!

    34. Scott says – reply to this


      34

      Perez, don't even try and con everyone into thinking that you liked this band for awhile. They have been floating around the music blogs for some time now, so please, don't contribute their success to you. Don't be so self righteous.

    35. .anne says – reply to this


      35

      THANK YOU for posting this. They are so incredibly talented and deserve an American fanbase so they can tour here! You rock. End of story.

    36. Sam says – reply to this


      36

      I feel sorry for the bands you espouse, Perez, because if you like them, I dislike them—primarily because you’re a hypocrite and your opinion can’t be trusted because it's completely biased. The lead singer–someone you’d normally espouse a “potato head” and fat–is in a band you supposedly “support” and “love.” No mention about the way she looks—and looks when she sings: personal “characteristics” you’d normally scorn and deride, especially if she was related to a “celebrity” of whom you are jealous. Of course, you would never say hateful things about her because you’re obviously making money promoting her band on your site.



    37. 37

      At least their better than the Jonas Brothers….

    38. bobo says – reply to this


      38

      OMG SHE's FAT!… Are all americans this fat??
      Eewwwww fatness-country!

    39. Katie says – reply to this


      39

      Ok, first off, whoever said the lead singer's fat…FUCK. OFF. How about you just listen to the music?! Or are you too immature to do that at your age? If you don't like their music, fair enough. Someone's size isn't important in music!
      While on the subject of Operator Please (and still feeling slightly able to be nice right now. lol), I'm actually listening to their album now and I'm seeing them live in August! They're awesome. =]

    40. Cathy says – reply to this


      40

      perez, i highly doubt you've been a 'big supporter of theirs for a while'.

      i've met them twice and seen them live 6 times in the past year.

      THAT is what you call a big supporter.

      though i understand it is hard, you being in the US and all, but please don't taint this band's reputation by talking about them.

    41. Cathy says – reply to this


      41

      PS. this video is great merely because of the city it's filmed in :D
      woohoo sydney
      and woohoo OP !

      you listen to wachk music perez. your an idiot

    43. hahaa says – reply to this


      43

      to everyone who took the time to write a comment about how you hate perez or hes a liar and whatnot, why are you reading his blog and wasting your time if you hate him soo much? you guys amuse me!

    44. Yazz says – reply to this


      44

      the lead singer looks like a fat version of Rachel Bilson

    45. the w says – reply to this


      45

      this video reminded me of the white stripes one…2003 or 4?
      i like the white stripes one wayyy better.

      this girl looks like she's trying to be all cutesy when she's singing.
      and nasal. sorry. the song itself is catchy though!

      51

      Ok ya so maybe she can lose like a couple pounds but its way better than seeing those skinny ass bitches in videos and on tv. It shouldn't be about how she looks but about how the music sounds, which by the way does suck. Didn't like this song or the video

    52. nicoe says – reply to this


      52

      i heard this song ages ago
      on fashion television

    53. VtFar says – reply to this


      53

      At least these kids have talent. While i show contempt for any "Teen" group i will admit the tune is catchy and the girl singing has a unique voice that just sounds great with the music. There will never be a "Teen" band who can actually write sing and perform thier own material. Heavily produce it add a bunch of acomplished studio hacks and you got a teen band. Jonas brothers suck perez but this group is worthy of listening to.

    54. ra says – reply to this


      54

      perez, NO.
      No no no no no.
      they sucked when they came out years ago.
      they still do. no.

      57

      The Piano Key notes at the front of the song…
      Sound almost exactly like Yael Naim's APPLE COMMERCIAL SONG.

      Rip-Off?

      58

      this band is not huge in australia, most people find them annoying, which they're. NME said they were an act to watch purely cause they're so young. they're going no where!!

    59. ughhh says – reply to this

      i dont like it.

      I am a lil aussie girl who has fallen in love with Operator Please since they first came out last year.
      They are fast, fun, upbeat, original, and they have a freakin violin!
      The album as a whole is put together brilliantly for a group of kids barely out of high school.
      Yes the chubby lil frontwoman's voice can be irritating to some, if your petty and pedantic. But sheesh can she belt out a tune. Only a girl of that body type would have the power to do so…
      The album has some beautiful moments, with soft melodies, and they take you on a journey!
      Can't say the same for many albums being released these days.

      If your going to listen to one song and judge them, then shame on you

      If your going to listen to the album, your going to fall in love.

      Love ya guts Perez! xxx

      Love the OPs… catchy pop.. very beatleseque. I'd rather watch her real face than the plastic posers/fakes in most videos. She is strangely magnetic in real life… and you dont get how impressive she is from just one song.

      Their 'Song about ping pong' was one of the best pop songs released last year. Do yourselves a favour! Very different from this song and shows the bands great talent. Very impressive from kiddies just out of high school. Luv ya.

      Wow…. I will admit I used to view this site religiously but havent checked in for a while… today I returned here to find soooo many people have turned on Perez…. if you dont like him, STOP coming back!! maybe he should implement some kind of lock out system where dickheads who make nasty, mean comments shouldn't be allowed to view the site. sure he says what he says, but thats why you are here in the first place! If you feel the need to be spiteful, mean and jealous…. close the browser and WALK AWAY.

      Re: mari –
      i guess she's trying to be cute like ['the new america ferrara" .. sorry, can't spell]
      i don't really care she's fatatious but the music gets boring
      it's sorta insteresting to a point but i don't really see a lot of star quality
      for example, when i first saw paramore .. but i'd be inclined to see their development

      btw, perezzo, when are you going to talk about krystal meyers?
      music that most people may actually find enjoyable
      let good music "shine" =)

      her voice makes me want to vomit. her voice has that nasal-y annoying twinge to it. her size doesn't matter AT ALL. the voice… its horrible. there are way too many people out there singing with god awful voices. where's the real talent?

      i agree with holler all the way…

    77. a says – reply to this
