The Jonas Brothers Butcher Katy Perry!
Filed under: Jonas Brothers > Katy Perry
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-!
Not terrible, but Katy Perry FTW!
azn inspired
The term "butcher Katy Perry" is redundant.
yes this is horrible. but katy perry cant sing worth shit anyway.
I hate and despise this song (Katy Perry version). HATE. DESPISE. She sounds horrible.
i like it……wats so wrong about it!!
what the fuck? i can't believe these guys are considered singers
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.
this is painful
they suck
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.
wow ,
pretty much all i can sayy.
embarassing
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!
it's probably better than katy perry singing it live.
Wow…..that was worse then there "Take On Me" and "Hello Goodbye" covers combined, and those were fucking bad. Nice going Jonas Brothers.
when are they not painful to listen to?!
another song the Jonas Brothers fucked up
its not THAT bad…i actually kinda like it
it was beauiful withthe string intro
and then joe started to sing……..
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.
OMG. i love katy perry but the jonas brothers killed it! arggggg. i still love them though hahhaa :]
WHY DO WHITE PEOPLE YODDLE WHEN THEY SING??? ITS AWFUL LIKE SOMEONE CHOKING BABY CHIPMUNKS!! LOL!!
i actually like their version.
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!
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!
they should be shot. like several times each.
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.
i fucking hate them they ruin everything including hellogoodbey by the beatles!!
GOD THEY SUCK BAD… GEEEEEZZZZZ!!!!!!!!
They only have looks (AS IF!!!!!!!)
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.
i actually thought it was sweet. didn't think it was horrible at all.
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!
i really did not liked their thinking of you version at aaaall
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!
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.
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.
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
HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA that was funny at least
this is seriously horrible!!!!!!!!!!!! wtf is up with this??!! usually they're really good, but what happened here guys?
Hahaha I like how he says destroy hahaha
shut the whole shit about 'if they rehearse they might get it right..'
the jon-ass couldn't fucking sing. period
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
OMG NOOOO
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!!!!!!
Re: popi$hot – I KNOW. I AM RIGHT WITH YA! cant believe that the stupid Jonas Brothers did that!!
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
aw, that's disappointing
they need to grow out of that pre-pubescent voice
there are too many change in keys so it doesnt work..
No shock there. They are horrible. And so is she!
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!
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 !!!!!!!!!!
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.
Disney is gonna SHOOT them!
JESUS!!!!!!!!!!! I think it´s because they CAN´T sing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Huh?
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
i like the jonas brothers version
Re: OMFGZNOELLE – totally agree!!!!!!!!!
I thought it sounded alright actually. C'mon! Give them the credit for @ least trying!
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.
EW! omg…
I hate the Jonas Brothers!
Well yeah they butchered her…
It's the JONAS BROTHERS.
They're shit.
I like it! I think the jonas brothers have good voices for guys
i love the Jonas Brothers but woah that truly was awful!
they are trying to sound like the violin!!!! ewwwww!!! could do better!!!
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.
they fucked up my song. I can't stand them, those young fuckers.
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!
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
oh shit that was really bad…AHH EW GOD it sounded like they were whining and iit WAS HORRIBLE OMG!
Joe's voice isnt meant to attempt high notes.
Who played the violin?
And this is the reason That i hate them. They destroy songs, are ugly, and make crappy songs
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
maybe im just hypnotized by their good looks but i actually like it.lol ohhh geeze let me turn it off quick!!!!
omg so so so bad LOL YOUR TEN MIN ARE UP KIDDOS
I like both but this is fucking painful… Seriously, my ears are bleeding.
How coud they ruin such a beautiful ballad?!?!
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 =]
not that bad.
you can not butcher katy perry because katy perry's voice is terrible.
oh my gosh. i think i just went deaf hearing this. joe should legit NEVER sing. he just ruins it.
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
Re: fishhhface – i honestly don't know how you can
Re: iheartKevinJ – OMG I SOOOOOOO DON'T AGREE
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.
i actually thought it sounded really good there was only one part where joes voice sounded a little strained. OVERALL VERY PRETTY SOUNDING.(:
someones out of tune..:|
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
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.
I don't like them, but I like it…
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.
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.
i like katy perrys version better.
the jobros sound like their trying to push out a massive turd.
nothing personal
Katy should teach them to sing her sown song.
I love them from bottom of my heart, but that was a failure…
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.
I love the JoBros but,, OUCH.
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 =)
the instrumental portion of it is great though =)
Horrible really
