  13. Basescu says:

    He is doing it on purpose. This is a parody show.
    Idiots

    • MrAdventure says:

      Actually, when some bands or singers are forced to lip sync, they’ll show their displeasure by screwing up like that, making it clear they’re not singing. I remember one American Bandstand, ages ago, where the lead singer just sat on stage, put down the mic, and refused to conform..

  14. Avis says:

    So, completely off topic, who here is actually done with all of their Christmas shopping? Or if you prefer, holiday shopping.

  21. john says:

    if you guys would actually search for the whole show you would have noticed the guy removes the sponge tip from his microphone and sticks it at the other end

  22. dirtzu says:

    this one is from romania , and it was intended , cuz these guys are making funny by all the bloopers in television .

  23. This comment just made me think of this quote from Mahatma Gandhi: I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.

  24. alienu says:

    the artist was proving a point about other artists making playback, that’s the way he wanted to hold the mic…

  25. Have you accepted me as your one true path to salvation?

  26. Mesa says:

    He’s band is doing this kind of things for the lulz all the time.

    Lol, I’m surprised this guy failed like that, he’s not a bad singer.

  36. nightshayde says:

    Hey, Guys —

    It’s possible that this guy did this thing on purpose…

     ...or so I've been told.

    *nods sagely*

  38. 314T00 says:

    Romania Fail … again :( … but i still love my country :D

  39. Claude_chi says:

    Please, pay attention to this:
    IT IS NOT A FAIL!!! It should be a WIN!!
    Why?
    The singer is a member of a wellknown pop band in Romania (JUKEBOX) which performs ONLY LIVE!! Being invited to a TV show, he was asked to do some playback, due to technical issues. The singer felt offended and THIS IS HIS WAY OF SHOWING THIS!!!

  40. cristi says:

    they we’re just protesting because they we’re obliged to do playback, just like muse does by pretending they’re drunk or switch sides, it’s an epic win not fail

    • Avis says:

      Sounds like one of the followers of the Westboro Baptist Cult to me.

      • Dragonwriter says:

        Another Self-Insulting Troll!

        If I need to be freed from the evil of this site, and from “anything else that is related to the evil” of this site…then “a” is an evil related to this site that I need to be freed from, since “a” commented on this site and is now very intimately related to it. Hah-HA!

  45. Cory says:

    I’m pretty sure this was on purpose. He was pissed that they made him lipsync it and not do it live, so he purposefully made it look ridiculous.

  46. Qwaz says:

    a?
    Like “Aaaaaay!”?
    In The Fonz’s name you pray.

  47. Arthur Eld says:

    Good. Wasn’t too funny.

  48. Aja says:

    You know, I think he may be doing this on purpose.

  49. nightshayde says:

    Perhaps with prayer and deep reflection, you will learn how to unlock your caps.

    * Romania doesn’t actually rock, but not because of this fellow. He’s okey.

  52. Do the words “The meek shall inherit the earth” mean anything to you? Got it yet? Yep, good ol’ Jesus said those words. And I can’t seem to find any meekness in your post. Not one speck.

  53. BAReFOOt says:

    He did this on purpose, to ridicule the show. The same thing happened in Germany once.

  54. Bitzu says:

    It was on purpose anyways, i saw the show…;)

  55. Jon; 10 days! says:

    I know, right?

    We’re all such morans.

  56. Emma Lily says:

    damn yeah. I love Romania. We fail so much…and still, we don’t fail like Americans do. We just can’t beat them.

  57. LaOsa says:

    It’s a mic… Not a Bottle!!!

  58. Mike says:

    Why say anything? Why spoil all the fun?

  59. Blade says:

    Why does Failblog take all their videos from TheYNC, etc? I have yet to see a single video on this site that I did not see days/months earlier on other sites. Kind of lame. The pics on the from page (beggar, etc.) are also just video stills I saw last week.

  60. Kratos says:

    ♬Turn the mic around,
    Let me here you si-ing.
    Turn it upside down,
    Hold it the right way.♬

  61. Elanu says:

    This was actually just a stunt from the band. They wanted to make fun of playback (don’t really get it why they found it necessary to “playback” the shit out of that mike) … but hey :) they are pretty good :) i’ve seen ‘em :) also, bunnyrabbits are evil !

  62. MADCAT says:

    It’s a protest against playback (the way he holds the mic)!

  63. hezzer says:

    guys its not a fail, it was a joke about that tv show where all singers playback, but sure its funny xD

  64. reads the papers says:

    This was a joke of the Singer, as the anchorman clearly said.
    But some newsfeed just took the video and pubished it as fail.
    Which is the fail in this case.

    But the singer is quite pleased with this “mistake” as he tripples his sales.

  65. slanking says:

    can’t but love this :D

  66. Ned i vekt says:

    Can’t help but laughing my *ss off :D

  67. Aja says:

    Something is a-miss.

  68. Luca says:

    Nooo! Even Failblog failed with this joke.
    Watch this “fail” of Muse: they didn’t realize that the drummer is singing and vice versa http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fUmZN5pJFg

  69. nuteteme says:

    Guys I thought you were pro’s … but what can we expect from the media ? lies of course.
    So check this out, in Romania they had an ANTI PLAYBACK campaign … nothing fancy but a bunch of bands and singers protested against low quality bands … you all know the type, hot babes prancing on the stage in underwear while pretending they sing. Amongst other stuff they had this backwards mic. thing in their anti playback campaign, most of the TV people know that a live performance is not possible on an ordinary TV show set.
    To be more clear the backwards mic. thing is a form to announce the audience about the playback.
    In my opinion this is a win, its a proof of courage and respect for the fans.
    I guess it would be appropriate for the fail blog team to get some research done before posting some articles without the proper information.
    This article is disappointing and it makes me think how much of your other articles are misinterpreted.

    Happy holidays !

  70. Adina says:

    I’m sorry to see that many people don’t realise this was a joke….The show was set in a studio where they didn’t have the possibility to perform live so they did the whole play back thing. They are known in Romania for their live acts and they only sang with their mic like that to have fun ( everybody who watched the show knew that… ) and entertain the public…Well, negative publicity is still publicity so good for them anyway :)

  71. xx says:

    the guy did this to make fun of being forced to sing playback…

  72. Vlad says:

    hi there. these guys are from Romania,me too.
    i want to tellyou that the way he holds the mic is a non-playback campaign.
    when they make playback,they upset their mic.
    by the way,their name is jukebox,and they are talented.

  73. pepe says:

    that’s in romania:D

  74. Wavi says:

    I know the guys, the lead singer was just fooling around! You should have seen the entire show…It was a playback ( obviously ), and this is one of their ways to say ..we are not pretending to sing live. Another way of saying that is by using paper instruments…instead of real ones…

    Anyway..I guess you all remember George Bush looking at the wrong side of the binoculars..

  75. S says:

    ahahaha nu cred. ce ratat.

  76. chibi says:

    a idiot-friendly romanian tv station, you can make an entire site with it alone. a total different human species promoted there

  77. vik says:

    He is the lead singer of the band Jukebox and he’s good at what he does. This is his way of protesting to playback. He did it on several occasions.

  78. Andrew says:

    There goes Stevie Wonder again.

  79. LuciusMare says:

    To make it right, he was trying to be comic, because he was forced to sing on playback. It was purely intentional.

  80. bfc says:

    I know the band from that the guy is lead singer in. I can tell you he did that on purpose because there are a lot of bands mimicking the song and have a very high quality CD playing for them. He wants to make a stand against such Romanian bands …. actually he’s a good singer :)

  81. leonno says:

    maybe gay people always hold a mic like that?

  82. mike86 says:

    this is a romanian band on a romanian show… they weren’t allowed to sing live, therefore they wanted to show everybody that it’s playback…

  83. Andrew Ong says:

    Carnage! The Romanian guy is holding a wine bottle and/or is holding it the wrong way around (upside down)!

  84. Hannes says:

    Yet again a FAILBLOG FAIL! The singer does that on purpose. He just tried to be funny. FYI, he’s a really successful singer in his country and he knows how to hold a mic in the right way. But people are too dumb to realize this. The jokes not on the singer but on YOU.

  85. Razvan says:

    In fact this was a joke done by the vocalist because the television asked them to do play-back, and they always want to sing live. So to get some measure on vengeance he help the mic upside-down. Very few TV stations allow live performances in their show, because of poor equipment.
    So the guys wanted to show the rock spirit was still alive in them. We all found it quite funny and really enjoyed their attitude.
    Hope this helps.

  86. newkid says:

    well actually he held the mic upside down because he is against playback and at that show he was required to do playback so he decided to do something in order to show everyone the song was not live …so in my opinion it is more like a win…

  87. razvan says:

    He did that on purpose!

  88. 2Foxxie4U says:

    I actually had to watch it twice before I saw anything wrong.

    How epic fail of me.

  89. Ban Kai says:

    Actually it was a protest against so-called singers who do playback and say they’re live :) . It happened in romania and I watched the show live :)

  90. Majomparade says:

    Yup that is a romanian (The land where shit was invented) chanell.

  91. gratima says:

    he was holding the mic that way to show that it’s playback…jeez

  92. kaylaxDD says:

    Failophone

  93. I_o says:

    the guy did this to make fun of being forced to sing playback… I saw the show..I can’t believe it blew out of proportion like this :) ))

  94. Bogdan says:

    Numai la romani se putea intampla asta :) )

  95. valeks says:

    He’s actually a good singer in a known band. That was just an ironical joke made for that low-end TV station.

  96. Jizzy says:

    o_O Ok …..now i saw its from a romanian tv channel… FAIL

  97. Haaa says:

    Its for a anti-playback campaign :) .. in Romania

  98. Spk says:

    He’s a roumanian singer, and that was a statement, a anti-playback joke. You really should research before posting something. Anyway keep it up ;) .

  99. Fukkeru says:

    nu numai la romani se putea intampla … numai la antena2 se putea intampla :) )

  100. Ale says:

    please read the comments before posting one yourself. we’ve already been told like a thousand times “he did it on purpose”
    nevertheless, it was funny :D

  101. s says:

    Ohhhh AntEnna… Greek TV never fails to amuse me.

  102. red says:

    that was a joke, he is a funny singer and made that joke ‘cose he was doing playback on that song….

  103. colter says:

    what joke? he was singing and and he didnt sing with his tape lol. theres no joke about it.

  104. gonzo says:

    you are wrong, i happen to know this tv show and its a funny show where they make fun of a lot of things. knowing the show, i can tell you that i am not laughing this “fail” since its a not a fail at all, its a premeditated joke. but maybe some will find it funny anyway, i was just clearing up the situation..

    keep up the good work, failblog!

  105. Radu says:

    Everybody says it was a joke, and here is the proof the can sing OK. Not mind blowing, but OK nevertheless.

  106. Alex says:

    the artist made a jock i know him he is creazy….

  107. King Julien says:

    THIS IS NOT A FAIL, it should be removed! He was performing a parody about playback of Romanian singers at a TV show which is dedicated to TV fails.
    This guy is a very good artist and his band (Jukebox) are performing many acts of comedy and parody in that TV show.
    You, as a ‘fail’ experts should know better the concept of sarcasm. If you can’t do it than you’re just a bunch of morons which are interested just to post something to make traffic on the site.
    In fact his act is a WIN because made a lot of fun about those pathetic lip-synch.

  108. King Julien says:

    Another thing, the TV show is provided by Prima TV station and Antena station, which put that on the net to point “his fail”, is revenging because the show of this guy make fun of them by showing many of their fails. They cut all the scenes where the guy said about playbacks and gave you just this part and you look like fools now in our eyes. Its a win and failblog fail so change the title or remove the cut scene.

  109. alter ego says:

    The singer is making fun of the fact that he was forced to playback, he usually sings live, and he’s pretty good too. :) hope you read this and see that is not a fail.

  110. FeelMe says:

    Worst Romanian TV channel.

  111. Chet says:

    No Fail . !
    Is a band from Romainia , on a comic show, he want to do this!

  112. Laurentiu says:

    Romania Romania…….
