The Summer Olympics are over….for now.
London had a big concert on Sunday in celebration of their hosting the next Games in 2012. Over 100,000 people attended and the British Jonas Brothers, McFly, performed.
CLICK HERE to watch them performing Abba's The Winner Takes It All and their new single, Lies.

the british jonas brothers???
okay, they're good, but they arent that good
The Winner Takes It All was goooood!!!
FIrsT !!! Omg im first yayyyy for memeee goo mee!!!
PEREZ MCFLY ARE A MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN THE JONAS BORES.
MCFLY HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS AND THEY ARE A GREAT LIVE BAND, EVEN SERIOUS MAGAZINES RATE THEM HIGHLY.
THE JONAS BROTHERS ARE A BUNCH OF UGLY TALENTLESS TWATS WHO HAVE TO RESORT TO DATING PRETEEN LOLITAS TO SUMON UP SOME PUBLICITY.
MCFLY WRITE THEIR OWN SONGS.
Good morning Andy! Where are you babe?
Re: Uker –
Just because they dont write their own songs doesnt mean anything, look at Leona Lewis! she doesnt write her own shit but she can get away with it because she has an AMAZING voice, as long as you are excellent at singing and performing then it doesnt matter. That is what songwriters are for! that is their job.
More like the jonas brothers are the american McFLY.
i like both of them, but i've always been a mcfly girl.
true.. danny wasn't very good live.. but i think mcfly is better than the jonas brothers overall.
Re: georgieex.x – STFU IDIOT
YOU'RE TALKING OUT OF YOUR ARSE AGAIN.
Babes, Mcfly … british jonas brothers… NO! Way Better, and Hotter!
The British Jonas Brothers????? That's only half true!
….I love McFly…
Closing ceremony was epic, also.
that is so wrong. I'm sorry, but guys shouldn't cover ABBA songs. It's just not right >_
I'm glad this fucking circus is over!!!
I don't know if my previous comment got through?
Sorry if this comment is going through twice (this one's slightly moderated though
)
More like the Jonas Brothers are the american McFLY. Their sound is similar but McFLY was there first. plus the Jonas brothers feed off busted nd stuff.. Year 3000 plain pissed me off. (like their music OTHER than that hideous cover though, must be honest)
I've been a HUGE fan of McFly ever since they debuted and am still 100% a mcfly girl. They deserve SO much more credit than being labelled "the british jonas brothers." PFFFT.
mcfly are waaay better than the jonas brothers.
peace out china…….. and FUCK OFF!!
As a massive McFly fan, i don't think The Winner Takes It All was their best cover, it's a shame they couldn't do a Queen or Beatles cover again, they're very good at those!
And please, don't compare them to the Jonas Brothers - none of them are even related for a start, and i think everyone else has already pointed out how much better McFly are.
Re: hottie – Glad to see you share my feelings on it!!
jonas wins
Re: Andy27 –
your feeling… worth less than a peace of shit! you only said shit thing about everything… mouth full of shit!
They totally kick the Jonas Brothers ass!
Re: hottie –
sour grape.. amid it you people cant make it better!
Mcfly is ssssoooo much better than the jonas brothers!!!
hardly…for a start they arent even related and thers 4 of them! lol
no comparison to the jonas brothers… jonas brothers are shit
those kids always say they want to write a song or perform with Mcfly n guess what, Mcfly never say the same about them lol
pretty good performance.. a shame they did an abba song. Danny sounds good at 3:10 though, and Lies was really good as usual… gotta love Dougie's bass solo
aren't they the band from that lindsay lohan movie?
Re: tinktink – learn how to spell and speak and then talk to me idiot
Re: hottie –
I dont need to… my english is way better than your Mandarin.. i can understand your shit comment but can you…. nevermind! you only speak English!
i love mcfly!! thanks 4 posting perez
i love McFly! And i hope for 2012 they will be performing! You can keep Tom Perez…Dougie is my favorite
Perez… i fookin love you for puttin this up… but mcfly are way better than the jonas boys! they've been around for ages and im sorry to say the jnas bros arent in the same league… at least not yet
Re: tinktink – i actually speak 2 languages but mandarin is not one of them because WHY THE FUCK WOULD ANYONE WANT TO SPEAK FUCKING MANDARIN you fucking moron
Busted were better
How can there be even one good comment on this? The singing sounded so out of key that over hear in canada they were cats shreeking in pain in my neighborhood as they listened to this awful sound.
When the band itself realized they sounded so bad they switched from attempting to sing….to yelling….but even cool bands can yell and make it work….not this one….
sounded like a mexican hairless cat on fire……
First off, it's a huge insult to call Mc Fly "The British Jonas Brothers" - They have been on the scene a hell of a lot longer than Jonas Brothers. Secondly, McFly have more talent in their little fingers than the Jonas Brothers entire body!
The winner takes it all is an extremely hard song to sing. Frida’s mezzo-soprano and Agnetha’s soprano make their songs extremely hard for any male to sing!
I think McFly is better than the Jonas Brother. And have been around for years…so the Jonas Brother are the american McFly. They have some similarities but McFly is a full time band…they write their own music and that is very important for an artist.
Um..Perez? Mcfly..I love both, but seriously?
McFly win hands down, no question.
NO. you cannot call McFly the "British Jonas Brothers"
McFly is way better than them and is way more talented.
that is just an insult.
screw the jonas brothers, MCFLY ALL THE WAY
i loved this concert! was quite shocked when michael phelps turned up! it was awesome =]
perez, honestly, the 'british jonas brothers'?
mcfly win, hands down!
i wouldn't even compare them to the jonas brothers!
if you mean popularity - wise, i guess so. they are a big band with tons of fans but mind you, not a whole lot of screaming teenies!
omg that was fucking terrible. The brown haired one was screaming off key not even singing! Jonas Brothers my ass. The Jonas Brothers are a million times better.
WTF!!!
the british jonas brothers?
are you fucking kiding me?
the jb are no where near as being as amazing as mcfly is!!!
wtf!!!
Mcfly all the way
fuck the jo hoes
Re: Paty –
agreed
Goshhhh!!!Don' t call them "the british Jonas Brothers", McFLY are a millon times better than them, I think you should do some research, McFLY's got 7 number 1 singles, they played at the Live 8, they met the Queen, they got a world record…So that comparison with those stupid little boys is wrong!!
Jonas Brothers suck!
And for the one who talked about the "brown haired", just shut up, Danny Jones got one of the most beautiful vocals in the world.
wow the jonas brothers aren't even in the same league as mcfly… and they never will be!!! i thought mcfly's performance of the winner takes all was decent.. it's annoying how popular the jonas brothers are in america when mcfly are soo much better.. their new song lies is amazing!!
omg , perez i love you for talking about mcfly
mcfly is awsome
i love the jonas brothers but hey , mcfly wins hands down
xoxo
yasmine
sounds like shit. horrible vocals……..ive said it before and i'll say it again, the music of today sucks ass.. minimal talent is now accepted as standard proceedure. sad
First of all, why do some of you say so much shit.
Second, I like the jonas brothers. They're cute and have some decent songs. I also like McFly because they're really good. This was maybe not their best live performance but so what??
I really liked McFly. Never heard of them before.
mcfly is amazing DOWN WITH JONAS!
Are you effing kidding me perez?
Don't ever call them the fucking
British Jonas Brother.
Like ever!
They were around way before
them and are lifetimes more talented.
Jonas brothers are fucking wannabees.
They're soo better than the Jonas Brothers
All of the Jonas Brothers songs sound the same, as much as I love them
lol Tom: I hope you like it
and THEY DIDNT EVEN SHOW DOUGIES FACE!
WAS HE EVEN THERE?
I'm sorry, but it's not the British Jonas Brothers.
McFly have been around for a lot longer than the JoBros, so if anything they are the American McFly, don't you think?
UMMMM danny (L) amazing version and they are amazing and i love them!
they are good talented musicians. it's not for the fact that jb are more pop than mcfly that they can't play their instruments and sing properly.
mcfly had been there too. and now they're proving what they came to do.
mcfly have been around for a helluva lot longer than jonas brothers and are as lot better. im seeing them in november
Re: georgieex.x –
if you mean to say that McFLY isn't that good, you're sadly mistaken.
McFLY is a million times more talented than the Jonas Brothers.
I mean, I love the Jonas Brothers, but come on.
Anyone can see McFLY is more talented.
Oh, yes.
And Perez, thank you for posting!
I love McFLY!
I'm a little insulted you called them the British Jonas Brothers, but I'm hoping you're only referring to them like that because of how popular McFLY is, not because of their talent.
Because as much as I love JB, McFLY is more talented.
Not saying that JB will never get to where McFLY is.
But as of right now, its all McFLY.
And McFLY will continue to get better.
DON'T YOU DARE COMPARE MCFLY TO JONAS BROTHERS.
FOOL.
However. Jonas Brothers are good
.
Re: Bubuu42 – I totally agree with you.
I'm a huge McFly fan, but I really wasn't impressed with The Winner Takes It All, but I adored Lies.
Ewww Jonas Brothers are Amazing
but are not the American version of Mcfly
this sounds amazing
Mcfly ftw!
More like the jonas Brothers are the american Mcfly…..
I like McFly from the beginning and I still appreciate their songs and so it really pisses me off when I see that they are described as "the british Jonas Brothers" Pfffff, and what else ? L.Lohan can act? Come on be serious……..
Live Mcfly!!!!!
Hahaha.
British Jonas Brothers.
At least McFLY have talent.
Perez, I love you but don't you EVER compare McFly to the jonas brothers again! McFly are a proper band unlike the jonas brothers.
they both have talent, no doubt..but it would be more like The Jonas Brothers are the American McFly
BAM
Dougie is my future husband - back off
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion… So here's mine!
McFly's talent level > Jonas Brothers' talent level.
But I do see the appeal of the Jonas Brothers, to be fair. And they do write their own songs. They just have covered a couple, AS HAVE MCFLY.
But I'm a McFan all the way.
That's my two cents
MCFLY ARE NOT THE BRITISH JONAS BROTHERS!!! MCFLY SUCK!! JB ROCK THIS WORLD N JB ARE A MILLION TIMES TALENTED AND HOTTER!!!!
FOR FUCK SAKES!!
STOP COMPARING MCFLY TO THE JONAS BROTHERS!!!
the jonas brothers cant even come close to the talent the mcfly boys have, for real.
i'm 100% agreeing with Uker here.
jonas brothers suck.
love them and i think lies is one of thier better songs!
i have to agree with most of the ppl on here, the Jonas Brothers dont have enough experience or talent for McFly to be compared to them, yet you have managed to call McFly "the british jonas brothers"? I thought you were in love with Tom, who btw i though sung really well i actually liked his voice in here, Danny was a little bad at first but during lies he sounded amazing!
ps- wtf was up with the camera men they showed the back up singers and trumpet players like 10 times yet Dougie wasn't even shown during his bass solo?
McFly is soooo much better than the jonas brothers!! They have been around for years and write their own music!! McFly= AMAZING!! Jonas Brothers=NOT amazing!
Mcfly = AMAZING.
this cover actually gives me chills everytime I listen to it.
I love JB. but Perez, you've got to stop this comparison… its so farfetched that its actually rediculous. JB have no talent next to McFly.
yay mcflyyy ! ♥
but srsly, they are faaaaaaaaaaaar away from the jonas bros
i mean i like some of their songs, but they are so overrated now
everywhere i go i see atleast a jonas related topic
goddd they aren't even that good
mcfly kicks their butts anyday! =D
Re: georgieex.x – WHAT drugs r u on they r wayyyy better sounding then the jb the jonas boys have such weak voices they always sound like their forcing the voices out
Haha, I'm sorry Perez, but McFLY is NOT the British Jonas Brothers. McFLY is muuuuuuch better
Great concert!
Hey! JB are good but McFLY are so much better.
the closing ceremonies were amazing minus the jonas brothers in my opinon. i was much more excited to see jimmy page perform. leona lewis was great singing roberts part as much as she could be tho! its hard to top him.
mcfly is sooooooo much better than jb!!!
i
DUDE THEY ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE RETARDED JONAS BROTHERS
Do not ever call McFly the british Jonas Brothers. They are so much better than them. Jonas Brothers don't even come close to them.
I know you're merely trying to give us Yanks an idea of how big McFLY is over in the UK by comparing them to the Jonas Brothers, but seriously P, that's so wrong.
McFLY has been around for ages, broken numerous records, gathered millions of fans worldwide, and pretty much created their own empire out of their music– which they write themselves, unlike those "JoBros".
Comparing McFLY to the Jonas Brothers is a bit of an insult to the incredible UK band. I'm sure Tom, Danny, Dougie and Harry would feel somewhat offended if they heard they were being dubbed "The British Jonas Brothers", as they've done so much more for the world of music and created such a stronger name for themselves than those three brothers could ever accomplish.
McFLY inspired the Jonas Brothers. I highly doubt that teeny-bopper bubblegum trio ever inspired the boys of McFLY.
That being said, I thought it was a good cover. These boys will never fail to produce amazing music.
ok.. WHAT? JONAS BROTHERS SUCK!! you cannot compare them to shitty JB…. ughhh
No comparisson McFLY rock and JoBros suck!! i hate to say . . . and i'll admit it i once was a Jonas fan when they started but then i realized what they did with 3 Busted songs!!! wich is such an insult, by the way idk how british girls like the joBros when they know they've covered Busted!! Anyway McFLY much better and to those who think danny sings badly and off key totally not true!! the Abba song is really complicated but if u r to listen more of the McFLY lads u'll see that tom and specially danny (brown hair in case u don't know) have really strong voices, and too it does matter if an artist doesn't write their own music!!!Leona Lewis is another thing yeah . . . she has an incredible voice but since ever she has been a performer and a R&B singer . . . and McFLy are a BAND!!! and it does matter if u do ur own music when ur a band!!!! apparently the joBros don't know that !! too bad suckerss!!!
They are definitely not the British Jonas Brothers. They have so much more edge to them than the JB. I love both bands, but McFly truly are talented musicians.
Re: Tasha–x –
have you even ever listened to McFLY?
and if you were a real Jonas fan, you'd know JB looks up to McFLY.
And sorry to break it to you, but it's not an opinion.
It's fact.
McFLY has more talent than the Jonas Brothers.
And, while looks have nothing to do with the music, I'll still say it anyway.
McFLY is better looking than JB.
But really, it's about the music, not what the people who play it look like.
Why The hell would you call them the British Jonas Brothers!!! McFly are 100000 times better then the Jonas Brothers!!!! Does the Jonas brothers have have fourteen top ten singles, seven of wich reached # 1 and have they created their own record label, which is called Super Records No because mcfly does!! Mcfly has earned many award one an from the Guinness World Records for being the youngest band to have a debut album enter the charts in the top position, a distinction previusly held by the Beatles. They jonas brothers just take music from Busted like year 3000, What i Go to School For, they dont write their songs! Unlike McFly they take their time on writing their own stuff which make them so much better then those dumb ass jonas brothers boy band!
Oh Perez, you are way off. I can't even believe you would say that.
The British Jonas Brothers? WTF!
McFly have been around a hell of a lot longer than the Jonas Brothers, and they've worked their way up from obscurity to the fanbase they have now. They may not be as large in the US, but they have a hell of a lot more fans around the world than the Jonas Brothers.
Next time you write about the Jonas Brothers, we should be seeing,
The American McFly, The Jonas Brothers……
Re: Bubuu42 –
I was thinking the SAAME thing. McFly has been around way longer!
Oh yeah, and Lies is so good!
FUCK THIS,
THE JONAS BASTARDS CANNOT BE COMPARED TO McFLY!
McFLY ARE AN EXCELLENT LIVE BAND, WRITE THEIR OWN SONGS,
PLAY THEIR OWN INSTRUMENTS, AND THEY CAN ALL SING.
Let me rephrase that. They can sing GOOD. ETC.
THE JONAS BROTHERS (THE BAND THAT RIPPED OFF BUSTED)
ARE PATHETIC LOSERS. THEY ALL STRAIN THEIR VOICES WAY TOO MUCH.
AND THEY HAVE TO RESORT TO DEMI LOVATO FOR THEIR OPENING ACT.
AND THEY ARE FANS OF McFLY AND GIRLS ALOUD. WELL GUESS WHAT
GIRLS ALOUD AND McFLY ARENT FANS OF THEM.
AND THEY THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN BUSTED? FUCK THAT.
BUSTED IS A LEGEND.
ps- im going to have a brain hemorrhage if or when those idiotic jonas brothers cover a McFly song.
dude, that sucked hard
Re: CoDy A –
Ok first of all, McFly is a respectable band who doesn't need Disney to promote them. AND Jonas Bros CANT sing and has destroyed two good Busted songs (Year 3000 and WIGTSF) and I dont respect them at all. Théy are a cryin shame to the rock music. And to be honest McFly are true and some real musicans while JO Bros are just some commercial s**t like all other Disney "stars".
This was amazing.
:D
WTF?!?
McFly are NOT the British jonas brothers, first McFly is waaaaay better than the jonas brothers and second McFly do not like to be called a boy band cuz they are not and the jonas brothers are !!!
I think the Jobros are definetly American Mcfly…these boys did Amazing they can do no wrong and the looked AMAZING!!
Okay, seriously? I only ever heard one Jo'Bros song, and it was their cover of Year 3000, and they r*ped that song, not even kidding. I'm sure they're alright and I respect their fans, but honestly, to call McFLY the British Jonas Brothers is just waaaaaaaay stupid. Seriously dude, do you even listen to this music? McFLY writes their own songs and sure, even when you don't write your own songs, making music is a respectable thing to do, but hey man, McFLY deserves way more credit that the Jo Bros do. Like, seriously. So yeah, McFLY are simply better, and I don't even care if it's a matter of opinion or not, they just are. The Jo Bros are the American Busted, and McFLY is just McFLY, a kick-ass band. Do I need to remind anyone that Tom was approached by the JB's to write a song for them? So yeah. McFLY kicks their asses. No offence, simple telling the truth.
PEREZ!
you idiot,
theyre not the british jonas brothers.
theyre nothing like the jonas brothers!
the jonas brothers all have purity rings and are brothers
last time i checked, mcfly arent brothers and theyre very experienced in sex!
Re: Shark – STFU
Re: Tasha–x –
have u ever listened to McFLY????! Jobros suck, what part of 'covered BUSTED' don't you get???! One of the most witty songs i've heard, year 3000 and it was busted's!!!! and they even got a video out for the song!!! that sucks, bands should do their own music, i'm not saying anythig about working with other artists, but i mean like in colaborations and stuff not a shitfull cover!!! You shouldn't guide urself by fake publicity with Disney and shit like that . . . . i mean why the fuck did they go public on saying they wore purity rings??? that's just stupid publicity cuz obviously there's a big lack of tallent!!! I bet they've already fucked too many girls to count with their two hands!!! ughhh it just makes me sick to think about what kind of stupid minds would let there be such personal publications!!
Re: Shark –
yeeeee thanks for the 'mexican cat' comment!! don't u dare to say anything about mexico!! unless u know enough of MY country (wich I doubt) shut up!! i just think it's insulting, cool u didn't like the cover . . . but as ppl have said it's a really difficult song, they were asked to do it, and by the way usually when they make covers is because they're asked to (wich is one of the reasons why McFLY have their own lable now), and for charity too . . . . so stop saying stupid things, u obviously don' know anything about McFLY so i don't think ur opinion is SO VALID anyway . . . . and if u r to say nasty things about a country at least know get urself informed!!
okay please they are way better then that cookie cutter band that they call jobros
anywayzzz that was awesome love the new song "winner takes it all"
toms and dannys voice just make me melt
lol:]]]
[[[more mcfly stuff please!!!]]]
