Nuuuuooooooh! My ears!!!!!!1!!!!!
*offers NS ear plugs*
What? Too late?
Thanks. Ear plugs are my friends.
I haven’t actually seen or heard the video — it was just a guess.
You were right, because the truck made a lot of noise when it hit the overpass.
…and there was a spillage of BaconLube all over the freeway.
and thatt was before Somebody showed up with micheal jackson’s corpse…
She actually has a lovely voice … kinda.
Whoever it is that sang.
She’s singing
into a microphone
.
Get that??
I did.
*giggles*
Good.
*tickle*
*tickle*
*squeeze*
she has an 11 singing voice and the mic only went to 10 so they told her to turn it around to prevent blowing the amp
She should totally be in a garage band with Bill S. Preston, Esquire and Ted “Theodore” Logan
What about Spock, The Rock, Doc Oc and Hulk Hogan? Can they join too?
oh lol, thank you now I get it
thank you for the eye opening ”fine print”! i watched it 3 times over, concentrating on the sound, trying to figure out what’s wrong with her voice/ lyrics …
So there’s this chick singing beautifully, but I don’t understand a word of it because I think it’s in Japanese. You keep expecting her to mess up somehow because of the title of the fail, but it’s more subtle than that. The microphone is upside down, yet curiously the sound of her voice is apparently strong enough to overcome that.
Then an overpass comes along and rips her head off. Blood squirts and splatters everywhere, people are screaming and running, the dead rise from the graves, dogs and cats start living together and total pandemonium ensues.
The pre-powered-by quote is “Artist statements seem to be getting more erratic everyday”, the failbooking ad burns up another button and then AA powers it with “That’s the way I hold the mic after I’ve glugged a bottle of champagne.” Cue the bicycle faceplant … DOT ORG!
ROFL!!!!
*snerkle*
*sparkle*
*smurf*
*squeeze!*
she’s singing in mandarin (chinese). I only understood …mum I love you…
Good catch, I didn’t even notice the microphone.
She was singing in Mandarin and I had initially thought the issue was when she sang “Oh Mama! (in English) I want you! (in Chinese and not in a platonic way)”
She actually sings I love you, in a love way… “wo ai ni” has no sexual inuendo, if that’s what you meant…
No sexual innuendo also = fail
It is China, the other side of the world! Everything there is the other way around! LOl. the mic is right, she IS in the wrong position!
*applause*
Well-done, ZA! Theng-kew!
Encore! Encore! *golf claps*
I was wondering! That’s hard to notice.
Um. Actually it’s Chinese, not Japanese. LANGUAGE FAIL.
Chinese, actually.
Yes, that… pretty much sums it up.
I want to sell this man a car!
errrr wtf?
Um…can we help you?
Probably not.
He’s holding his FTW backwards.
What’s that stand for again?
F You would know.
Fluff The Whiskers?
Feed The Walrus?
Find the Willy!
Flip the ɯıɔɹodɥouǝ.
Flip the words… ^
Fut the wuck?
Foom This Weirdo!
Free The Wookie!
Fertilize the World
Frickin Terrible Week…
rofl
well… it’s at least better than the original lyrics
What song is it? I couldn’t recognize it.
The Battle Hymn of the Republic.
Microphone Fiend by Eric B and Rakim.
Duh! You’re right, of course. They sound so similar, it’s easy to mistake one for the other.
Why did I think she was singing in Mandarin? Silly me.
I thought it was Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overture.
It isn’t Baby’s Got Back?
Talk about talking out the wrong end…
Btw…YAY, AA!!!!!
*makes with the confetti*
Woohoo Admiral!
What, no, ~? Heehee! Thanks!
Hehehe! No, by now I’m so used to congratulate you, no sarcasm anymore.
Copy and paste is your friend.
By now I accidentally type “Woohoo Admiral” even when I *facekeyboard*…
Wow…that IS talented!!!
If he is facekeyboarding, what is he doing with his fingers?
Fingering?
Yes, but who is he … you know … fingering?
That explains the indents on your forehead. I’d wondered why they said “laid oar who moo”.
Congrats AA!!!
Thanks, Starfishy!
Woopwoop AA!
Ya wooped me good.
Woohoo, Admiral!
*squeeze*
*starts bubble machine*
Yaay AA!!!
*tosses star shaped confetti about*
It’s the bubbles…Bloggy likes to play…
WooHoo!!
Congrats Admiral!
If memory serves me correctly, that comment was for an upside down mic as well.
failblog.org/2009/12/15/singer-fail-2/#comment-713470
CONGRATS AA FOR POWERING THE FAIL!!!
Yay! Thanks, Leila!
We have recursive fail comments powering similar fails, now. We’ve just invented perpetual fail energy.
Nice comment, too, Admiral! Can you demonstrate how you hold the mic for us? Here, have some celebratory champers first!
*squeezes the powerful one*
Congratulations, AA!
*wheels in the stainless confetti cannon*
*overloads it with star-shaped confetti*
*
safety**waits for Judy to stop squeezing the powerful cannon*
*lights fuse, dives for cover*
KA-BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!
*room shakes*
*stars end up embedded in everything*
Congrats AA!
I’m digging this star-shaped confetti of yours.
Nice, ZA!!
Thanks for the Jucy squeeze, Jucy!
Thank you, too, NS.

I will give you a few internetz if you teach me how to do that.
Try singing from the diaphragm.
I don’t wear those.
*flees*
One that could be quite lucrative… in some circles.
Unicode WIN!
Like cold fusion, perpetual fail energy doesn’t exist. It’s just all coincidence.
I don’t understand the words coming out of her mouth.
I don’t get it. Sorry. Where’s the fail?
And so it begins…
Shall we start counting or wait until the dust clears?
I have to admit, it took me a while to see that she was holding the mic upside down. I was focusing on the singing.
Maybe I’m out of the norm because I noticed it right off the bat…maybe that’s because I’m a singer IRL.
I didn’t know that about you. *squeeze*
When I sing, neighborhood cats start mating.
Oh, it can’t be that bad. *sqeezies* I don’t sing professionally, though I have been told by a few I should… Don’t know…just don’t think I look the part…
Well, I wish I could prove it to you. My daughter forbids me from singing.
Do we have the same daughter?
We must. Is it too late for adoption?
*sigh*
I’m afraid so.
*snork* It can’t be that bad!!!!! It just can’t!
Mine can. My kids used to ask me to stop whenever I’d sing to them. Even “Happy Birthday” – to this day.
~Yes.~
Look at how she is holding the mic
How hard is it to hold a mic the right way?
A bit?
I honestly don’t understand the fail in this one, is it what she’s singing about?
Holding.
Mic.
Upside.
Down.
LIES!!! Your monitor is upside down.
Lies!!! Your desk is upside down.
LIES!!! Your internet is upside down.
Lies!!! It’s sdrowkcaB Day!
UPSIDE DOWN!!! Your cake is a lie.
*early squeeze for tomorrow to get you started*
*early squeeze for Judy in case I can’t come out to play tomorrow*
You must not be looking at what she is holding.
the mic is backwards, for those of you who didn’t get it right away.
It’s not a singing fail, she’s just holding the microphone upside down.
That’s a singing fail.
She’s holding the mic upside-down. Thats the fail.
the mic is upside down
Maybe it should be called “microphone fail” not singing fail. I was listening for some sort of fail so I missed the upside down microphone.
took me a second too because of that.
LABEL FAIL.
People do not want to work for anything anymore. Say “put noms here” and open your mouths and wait for someone to feed you.
*sits down*
*opens mouth*
*waits with unending patience*
*feeds ZA*
*doesn’t say what*
Here, Leila, let me help you.
*removes brains from every commenter who felt the need to point out that the microphone was upside down, even though it had been pointed out elebenty times already*
*hauls dumpster load of brains over to Leila*
Here, feed him these. That’ll keep ZA happy for quite a while.
BLAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!
Sowy…maybe I shouldn’t be the one to feed it to him. *bites nails* Oopsy, sorry Judy.
That’s okay. At least I won’t need that manicure.
(name fail)
Who is that masked … woman?
Subtle fail. Very subtle. Really had to work to spot this one.
Really? I’m surprised people had trouble spotting this one. I felt like it was staring me in the face from the first second!
Yes, definitely title fail… not an obvious fail otherwise given video quality.
i think i heard her say, obama i love you
The microphone is missing a finger.
Uh Leila, what’s the count up to so far? I started to count them, but I got this odd red film over my vision and had to stop…
I don’t think we officially started counting…around elebenty??
I think I should do a swoop on the first go…
*gathers all annoying repetitive trolls and pushes them in a vat of boiling BaconLube*
That should do it, for now…
For the sake of my blood pressure, I may not count them anymore today.
Well at least THWACK!!! someone. Hint V V !!!!
There are three choices below this. Please be more specific!
Ah. There was only one when I typed my comment. Well, your pick. I do not have a preference any more.
she’s singing in chinese.
And your point is?
~You can’t sign in Chinese, it is only used for yelling in kung-fu movies~
Guys, don’t you see that the mic is in the wrong direction? lol it’s a good fail or a playback win.
*assumes a batters stance*
*hefts a shellacked mackerel over shoulder*
*THWACKS Solored repeatedly with said mackerel*
*walks away, whistling a happy tune*
*standing ovation*
*squeeze*
*shakes fist at Bloggy*
This is not a fail, it is a very subtle demonstration for freedom of speech and against censorship in China. You guys just don’t get it but that woman is risking her neck for showing to the public that she is not allowed to sing/speak with her own voice…
Did anyone understand that?
Understand what?
May be a reference to the 2008 Olympics lip-sync scandal?
Or an incredible demonstration of mental yoga. You pick.
升丹升丹升丹！工 丁升工门长 丫口凹’尺三 尺工已升丁。
What is up with the shifting fails?
Are those in charge trying to keep the trolls out of the most current thread by rearranging the order?
*shrug*
If the trolls stay there, I’ll be happy to stay here.
I think their plan is working – check out the recent commenters! The unknowns are all on the military fail!
It’s a decoy!!!!
Well played FB.
I must say I like it…although I was a bit confuzzled when I returned from lunch and military fail was first in line. I just thought I was losing my mind all week…
If it wasn’t for me looking for the regular peeps on the list, I would lose where everyone was. This shifting does not help when I have to close FB when the boss comes near or when I have to help customers.
How did over 100 people reply to this video within the span of 2 minutes?
Um…what time zone are you in Cloral?
Pacific.
There is only one person here and they are just replying to themself.
Darn, my joke reads back as snarky. Sorry.
I still have alot to learn from the Failpeeps.
Don’t worry, we had a “snarky” filter installed.
I missed that, too? Sassafrassin’ fertilizer season!
Has anyone mentioned yet that the mic is upside down?
*runsawaywithaterrifiedquickness*
*tackles BFF and sits on him*
*yelps in terror*
*waves white flag*
*removes BFF’s shoes*
*reaches out with one wing extended, just barely brushing the soles of his feet with the tip of one feather*
*does this repeatedly*
Hmmmm, what smells nice in here?
Aaaahwhaaa! Sto-aaahaha-op! Heehee! I-hooohooo-won’t do-aehehehe-it aga-ahahahaaa-in! I-eheheheheee-promise!
Careful, Avis, you’re gonna make him piddle!
I am?
*puts diaper on BFF*
It’s not a problem. Please continue with the torture.
*sits and watches*

~ Is it really? ~
~ I wonder what language she’s singing. ~
This song is in madarin, called <> (shooting stars) by the singer 王沛然 (this 13 year old girl) who composed the music and wrote the lyrics herself.
There is a MV for that, and she is famous for holding this microphone upside down!
http://you.video.sina.com.cn/b/29902476-1489729995.html
……..”流星” (shooting stars)……..
Wooooooooowz! *shakes head*
*isn’t surprised*
*shakes head*
*doesn’t say whose*
Ow! Not so hard, please.

What’s rattling?

It was my maracas, I swear!

Your maracas…rattle??

Oh, OK. I never could resist those sad puppy dog eyes! Roll over now, and expose yourself for scritches…
~Stupid Americans. That’s how you hold the mic when singing in Asiatic Lilly.~
*ahem*
*hangs head down*
I am soooowy. I don’t know what came over me. It was BFF’s fault … I think.
You aren’t gonna blame Arthur?!?
I am giving him the day off.
Fine, then! I’m taking a day off as well!
Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
Maybe it’s right-side-up in the Southern Hemisphere?
I had to watch this video 3 times before I realized the mic was upside down. Fail4me >__<
You could have saved yourself so much trouble by reading all of the other elebenty-trillion commenters that noted that the mic was upside down.
I Fail to see the fail
wait never mind, i see it now
oijmnkltytgfpooinjgtweaiothujjnmyu7juiloey7ub voatrdsuo8i[p0as89dewds98eujhjnk@!@!
(Translation: I’m typing with my keyboard upside down!!!)
It was good but wats up with the micraphone?
This is fail. She’s not even breathing right.
Dont you all understand? Shes not singing. shes just moving her lips.
She failed at singing, but successfully gave me a boner.
Agreed. No fail, though. Hot Japanese girl can do no wrong.
Have a look at the WTF on the 00:41 position of the fail video.
(Now I see what that fail is. I thought it was no fail.)
Not the first time this kind of fail has been shown.
Gotta love idiot pop stars who don’t realize their lip syncing is obvious because their mic is upside down.
Totally ‘shopped.
That hurt
Holding the microphone.
YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG!
I’ll bet you she was executed for this the next day.
Hate to break it to everyone but this may not be a fail at all. Certain mics work just fine from the back.
FAIL on the TV is a BROADCAST FAIL, which is quite worse.
lip syncing always works when you hold the microphone the right way!!!!!
Anyone notice the fact a very similar “Singing fail” video was previously upload onto the site, with the singer also holding the mic backwards? turns out that was a joke, so… perhaps…. this is becoming… a FAD?
no thats just how everybody holds the mic these days….*holds mic the wrong way* look guys im cool!!
the thing that really made me laugh was the ad for cougar life.
That’s when you know they’re lip-syncing.
and yet people will probably argue that she wasn’t lip syncing
Wow. everyone at this site is an idiot. You do know that they hold the microphone like that to warble they’re voices when sing right? Lots of people in Asia do that! She’s not actually stupid ya know!
its opposite day!
I quit. No more looking at Failblog for me. Ads for every video?! Might fly if the ads weren’t twice as long as the video is! Sellouts.
She might have had too much before hitting the stage. Or was that because of what she’s been smoking?
it’s a 100 % FAIL!
Did she die?
…
…
…
…no, seriously. That’s China, they may well have executed her for that blunder.
Hmm… I think by now she’s slapped with a hefty fine for lipsynching.
This is hilarious. There are actually mics that are like that. You guys fail miserably.
what song is that??
