The Jonas Brothers Butcher Katy Perry!

Filed under: Jonas Brothers > Katy Perry

katyjbross.jpg

We enjoy both parties involved but….

The Jonas Brothers were on the BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge today and they completely destroyed Katy Perry's gorgeous ballad Thinking Of You.

It really was painful to listen to!

So, we felt the need to share!

Check out their rendition of the song (below). And click here to listen to the original version.

    Nick looks cute. I like his outfit-!



  2. 102

    Not terrible, but Katy Perry FTW!



  3. 103

    azn inspired



  4. 104

    The term "butcher Katy Perry" is redundant.



  5. 105

    yes this is horrible. but katy perry cant sing worth shit anyway.



  6. 106

    I hate and despise this song (Katy Perry version). HATE. DESPISE. She sounds horrible.



  7. 107

    i like it……wats so wrong about it!!



  8. 108

    what the fuck? i can't believe these guys are considered singers

  9. kugar says – reply to this


    109

    Ahhh why is this a surprise?!

    Whoever said that they could sing?!

    When they hit I listened to one of their songs for about 30 seconds and then said to myself this is real Sh** and if they did not have electronics to improve their voices in the studio then they would be real F**king Sh**, they are just manufactured by the Music industry for money, and whoever does not know that is real stupid, in my opinion.



  10. 110

    this is painful
    they suck



  11. 111

    Katy Perry's one was painful.
    Now this??

    Well I'm not disappointed.. They do suck at singing live.
    And Joe, does NOT know how to sing.

    The guitar was cool, but didn' fit the song lol.



  12. 112

    wow ,
    pretty much all i can sayy.



  13. 113

    embarassing



  14. 114

    Gosh, Nick pisses me off at times.
    Wanting to be the leader and everything.
    Yes, Joe DID sound horrible here. Why?
    Because its WAY out of his range! Joe has a smoother deeper voice than Nick, why the hell would he choose that key.
    Whatever, it wasn't good, but their covers of other songs are awesome!



  15. 115

    it's probably better than katy perry singing it live.



  16. 116

    Wow…..that was worse then there "Take On Me" and "Hello Goodbye" covers combined, and those were fucking bad. Nice going Jonas Brothers.



  17. 117

    when are they not painful to listen to?!



  18. 118

    another song the Jonas Brothers fucked up



  19. 119

    its not THAT bad…i actually kinda like it



  20. 120

    it was beauiful withthe string intro
    and then joe started to sing……..



  21. 121

    i don't think they destroyed it…
    as a musician myself, its all about song choice…and this one just
    wasn't for them…its not about them sucking or being horrible, it just wasn't the song for their vocals.



  22. 122

    OMG. i love katy perry but the jonas brothers killed it! arggggg. i still love them though hahhaa :]



  23. 123

    WHY DO WHITE PEOPLE YODDLE WHEN THEY SING??? ITS AWFUL LIKE SOMEONE CHOKING BABY CHIPMUNKS!! LOL!!



  24. 124

    i actually like their version.



  25. 125

    Its too high for them, they usually practice and choose who sounds best for each part, it sounds like they didnt this time! Well, everyone has a bad moment, here is theirs… It was a really nice arrangement though!



  26. 126

    Re: Pattinson – Yeah, there were good parts, I just think they tried too hard to get into her range. I loved the arrangement, the acousticness, but it could have been better!



  27. 127

    they should be shot. like several times each.



  28. 128

    Re: kugar
    HAH!
    no, not exactly.
    they are actually very talented musicians
    if you actually listened to some of their better live/acoustic performances you would know that.

    this was just not a good song choice at all.
    they simply cannot sing that high anymore.



  29. 129

    i fucking hate them they ruin everything including hellogoodbey by the beatles!!



  30. 130

    GOD THEY SUCK BAD… GEEEEEZZZZZ!!!!!!!!
    They only have looks (AS IF!!!!!!!)



  31. 131

    wow I love JB but that was not good at all..maybe they should have not tried to sing exactly like her and just sang ha idk but don't like it.



  32. 132

    i actually thought it was sweet. didn't think it was horrible at all.



  33. 133

    Wow, who would have thought the jonas brothers could mess something up? Well, sounds like it did here! I really hope they don't ever attempt that again…when perez said they messed it up, I thought "it can't be THAT bad…" but it was!! Yikes!



  34. 134

    i really did not liked their thinking of you version at aaaall



  35. 135

    mmm it's not bad but is somebody's voice (nick's) in there that is just not right for the song, maybe it would sound better if it was edited or fixed. altought katy 's version i better!



  36. 136

    I can't even believe they think they can sing any other songs, when they can't even sing their own. Did you hear them sing Tom Petty's Free Fallin'? OMG I HATE THESE JONAS SISTERS FOR EVERYTHING THEY DO! They have no talent. I'm ashamed to say I am from NJ.



  37. 137

    To be totally truthfully, this a very weird song to sing (because of the way she sings it). Definitely a song you shouldn't try to remake.



  38. 138

    maybe they should of picked another song.or maybe another artist song to sing.usually they sound great. but it was all wrong. the her didnt make it sound better



  39. 139

    HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA that was funny at least



  40. 140

    this is seriously horrible!!!!!!!!!!!! wtf is up with this??!! usually they're really good, but what happened here guys?



  41. 141

    Hahaha I like how he says destroy hahaha



  42. 142

    shut the whole shit about 'if they rehearse they might get it right..'
    the jon-ass couldn't fucking sing. period



  43. 143

    the jonas's brothers sing in a form of singing called soul singing. however typically you don't really want to CONTROL it so much… but obviously they need to start controlling it a lil more…. but all you peeps saying they are ugly.. are stupid.. those guys are HOT :)



  44. 144

    OMG NOOOO



  45. 145

    ugh!!! That really hurted my ears…soo damn pitchy!!! hated it! KATY'S VERSION SOOO MUCH F**KING BETTER!!!!!!! ALL THE WAYYY!!!!! Wow. why would they do that? what Douche Bags! i guess they ran out of songs to write, now they are just going to start to steal from other artist's!!! F**K the Jo Bros. ughhhh!!!!!!



  46. 146

    Re: popi$hot – I KNOW. I AM RIGHT WITH YA! cant believe that the stupid Jonas Brothers did that!!



  47. 147

    i kindda liked it,,
    plus it was live and it sounded pretty good.
    now if it was recorded it wuld sound much better,, maybe even better than the katy perry version



  48. 148

    aw, that's disappointing



  49. 149

    they need to grow out of that pre-pubescent voice



  50. 150

    there are too many change in keys so it doesnt work..



  51. 151

    No shock there. They are horrible. And so is she!



  52. 152

    What's wrong with everyone?! I loved it!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Joe's voice more than anything…..Nick has a great voice too of course..but i HEART Joe's like with all my life! Thnx for putting this up Perez!



  53. 153

    which gay-nas bro is singing ?!? that is just putrid !! thanx a whole lot perez, ive been avoiding poisoning my ears with their crap, theyre brainwashing ppl, and Ive just been exposed !! YOU WONT CATCH ME ALIVE SUCKERZ !!!!!!!!!!



  54. 154

    Lets face it, how could it be any worse than the original? That's one of the worst songs ever made. Katy Perry is a riot. I don't give a sh*t about the Jonas Brothers but that wasn't as bad as you're making it out to be. It was an ok effort at a bullsh*t song.



  55. 155

    Disney is gonna SHOOT them!

  56. Paty says – reply to this


    156

    JESUS!!!!!!!!!!! I think it´s because they CAN´T sing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Huh?



  57. 157

    it wanst that bad it just wasnt that gud either. I love the jonas brothers they're awesome, but that song was a little to high for them



  58. 158

    i like the jonas brothers version :)



  59. 159

    Re: OMFGZNOELLE – totally agree!!!!!!!!!



  60. 160

    I thought it sounded alright actually. C'mon! Give them the credit for @ least trying!



  61. 161

    God That Was Horrible.

    The Song Is Amazing But They Just Ruined It .
    Katy is amazing they shoudnt even try do a version of her songs because there gonna sound usless anyway after katy did it .

    Katy cant be beat.

  62. Ryean says – reply to this


    162

    EW! omg…



  63. 163

    I hate the Jonas Brothers!



  64. 164

    Well yeah they butchered her…

    It's the JONAS BROTHERS.

    They're shit.



  65. 165

    I like it! I think the jonas brothers have good voices for guys



  66. 166

    i love the Jonas Brothers but woah that truly was awful!



  67. 167

    they are trying to sound like the violin!!!! ewwwww!!! could do better!!!



  68. 168

    these guys are terrible. this will end soon, just you wait and see…..these guys could never stand against any real rock band…… they just dont have the talent and theyre vocals are horrible.



  69. 169

    they fucked up my song. I can't stand them, those young fuckers.



  70. 170

    hem hem . . . i wud say no comment but i really want 2! o dear. . . um . . .that was different. . . in an interesting way. . .uh . . .that should b destroyed and never b spoken of again . . . no matter how much i luv them that just SUCKED ass!



  71. 171

    I liked it! It's not the best they have done, but it's not as bad as you put it. Take a chill pill Perezzz



  72. 172

    oh shit that was really bad…AHH EW GOD it sounded like they were whining and iit WAS HORRIBLE OMG!



  73. 173

    Joe's voice isnt meant to attempt high notes.
    Who played the violin?



  74. 174

    And this is the reason That i hate them. They destroy songs, are ugly, and make crappy songs



  75. 175

    Perez I hate when you say these shiits… the truth, the cover is beautiful, excellent, its voices are listened sooo beautiful… i think Katy would have to be happy for listening to cover fact so well



  76. 176

    maybe im just hypnotized by their good looks but i actually like it.lol ohhh geeze let me turn it off quick!!!!



  77. 177

    omg so so so bad LOL YOUR TEN MIN ARE UP KIDDOS



  78. 178

    I like both but this is fucking painful… Seriously, my ears are bleeding.
    How coud they ruin such a beautiful ballad?!?!



  79. 179

    It Doesnt Sound Horrible But Not Great Like Usual. Plus The Song Is Very Hard To Sing. Ooh Well They Cant Win Them All. I Still Love Them And Katy Perry =]



  80. 180

    not that bad.
    you can not butcher katy perry because katy perry's voice is terrible.



  81. 181

    oh my gosh. i think i just went deaf hearing this. joe should legit NEVER sing. he just ruins it.



  82. 182

    the screwed up the second verse its
    He kissed my lips i taste your mouth

    not the second best part
    jesus
    if they didn't fuck it up enough



  83. 183

    Re: fishhhface – i honestly don't know how you can



  84. 184

    Re: iheartKevinJ – OMG I SOOOOOOO DON'T AGREE



  85. 185

    I thought it was good. But of corse I'm bias toward anything the Jonas boys do (exept when they do anything with Miley ick) But the one thing is when they're violinist sings, it ruins it cuz u cant fully hear Nick.



  86. 186

    i actually thought it sounded really good there was only one part where joes voice sounded a little strained. OVERALL VERY PRETTY SOUNDING.(:



  87. 187

    someones out of tune..:|



  88. 188

    omg the first voice in the background sounded like a dying duck.
    ewww his voice was so horribly deep! like my brother who just reached puberty. and he's attempting to sing a smooth song like this? horrrible. though the second voice (i think nick? i dont rlly know these losers) was okay, i guess. though his voice was deep, too, but he pulled it off well than joeasshole



  89. 189

    I thought it was pretty good.

    Its actually a really ahrd song to sing ..
    KAty's voice is just fucked, i mean , ahve you HEARD HER LIVE? Jonas Brothers did this song justice before she sang it live.

    Katy sounds like shit live . period.



  90. 190

    I don't like them, but I like it…



  91. 191

    How dare they butcher Katy Perry?? Unlike them she is talented and fabulous!! Im sorry but aren't people over hem by now?? Their 15 minutes are long past up. Nick should do his own thing and ditch the bros, he actually has talent.



  92. 192

    i actually never heard a song or anything in my whole life, that made my ears bleed… until now. that was terrible, it was like finger nails scratching a blackboard. and i thought katy perry couldnt sing live but this was way worst.



  93. 193

    i like katy perrys version better.
    the jobros sound like their trying to push out a massive turd.
    nothing personal



  94. 194

    Katy should teach them to sing her sown song.



  95. 195

    I love them from bottom of my heart, but that was a failure…



  96. 196

    What the hell's the difference? Katy Perry is trash anyway. She should be thankful another singer wants to cover her shitty "music" (if you can call her trash "music"). She's totally phony and this song is no more than absolute shit.



  97. 197

    I love the JoBros but,, OUCH.



  98. 198

    its not that that terrible….its a bit off scale for them, too high but i've heard worse…but katy perry's version is FANTASTIC !!! i love that song =)



  99. 199

    the instrumental portion of it is great though =)



  100. 200

    Horrible really
