MTV Artist Of The Week: Boys Like Girls

boys_like_girls4.jpg

YOU love Boys Like Girls so much that you freaking break into Paul’s yard to snap photos of his dog to post on your MySpace page (err… stalker much?). WE love them so much that we got up in their grills with a recorder when they were here at 1515 last month and on the red carpet at the mtvU Woodie Awards, spied on them playing “Rock Band” in Vegas, and hunted them down on the set of their “Hero/ Heroine” video, (the second version if you’re keeping track, and you know you are). Oh yeah, and we took a (embarrassingly) large quantity of photos of their live show at the Palms pool during VMA weekend in Vegas. (Um, that doesn’t come off as desperate, does it?)

Now, it’s almost like we here at Music TeeVee are trying to adopt them as our unofficial house band. That’d explain why the band — known for their irresistibly infectious, fist-pumping pop-punk anthems like “The Great Escape” — has been on TRL (both the show and the countdown) so many times we’ve practically lost count. Not that we’re complaining. And it’d also explain why they’re this week’s MTV Artist of the Week.

Sooo… maybe we’re the ones with the stalker problem… And if you are too, you won’t have to go far to find them — Boys Like Girls will be all over your MTV all this week. Watch their MTV Artist of the Week performances and commercial spots right here. And you already know why we “like-like” them — now tell us why you like Boys Like Girls.

    That's where you're headed.


    Quit ignoring good music.


    And quit pimping John McCaine and his "cold and smelly" daughter onto us!

    Right, John Norris?
  14. Boys Like Girls are amazing! Their songs are so deep and true. Their music is catchy and memorable. Their song Heels Over Head makes me think of everything summer. That was like our summer song. Keep it up guys!
  15. this is so funny! BOYS LIKE GIRLS RULE!
  16. OMG! I loooooove Boys Like Girls! All of th songs rock!! But, I think this video is kinda pointless.................lol


  17. hey joe blow these peoples suck less then you by alot
  18. i couldn't go to your concert
    i am sooooooooo sorry cause i love guys.
    you guys are wicked awesome and really hottttttt.

    p.s. you rockkkkkkkkkkk, boys like girls.
  19. I love this band and paramore and cute is what we aim for. These bands all share something in common-there talent to express in up-beat tempo exactly what we are feeling or what we wish we we toke the time to express. Their music relates to us entirely, more so then ever. I wish one day i have the chance of meeting them all.
  20. omg. they are so cute, & basically the best band out there.. they are amazingly talented & i cant wait to see them in concert again sooon. iloveblg.
  21. I bought Boys Like Girls CD a month before I went to go see them at Warped Tour (because I needed a band to sing along to, and BLG seemed catchy) and as I kept listening and listening I feel in love. At Warped tour in Washington they didn't get the big stage, but one of the smaller ones, and when I heard them sing they crawled their way into my dictionary of AMAZING! No girl was silent while they played.. anywho, I was listening to my local radio (I live in a small town and radio sucks) and the speaker said something about BLG, and i was like "WHAT?!" so I waited and waited to hear them play, and as soon as The Great Escape came on I almost started to cry. They went from little stage to RADIO! (Plus they're really cute, I love how the drummer is ALWAYS smiling when he plays)
  22. Show da hora
  23. When I first says Boys Like Girls on demeand I immeditaly loved The Great Escape. So then I decided to listen to more of their songs and loved all of them.. Boys Like Girls sing the most meaningful songs in the world and I can relate to them. When I got to meet them, it was the best day of my life..
  24. I Love Martin Johnson:p
    That was such a cool comercial!! I wonder if it realy is going to be on t.v!
    That would be soo awsome.BLG Rocks!!
  25. Do you really even has to ask? Isn't it obvious why we all love BLG so much? Because they're amazing! Martin's lyrics are something anyone can relate to. The whole band really connects with their fans. I've seen them four times live and they just get better and better! It's about time they're all over Mtv. If anyone deserves the fame it's Boys Like Girls.

    I Love Youu BLG!
  26. ok who doesn't love BLG if you dont you are seriously messed up in the head i am deeply in love with them its unnatural
  27. they suck and they are emo fags.
  28. WOW ARE THEY AMAZINGG. IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE(WHICH YU RLY SHOULD BY NOW) GO PICK UP THEIR CD. IVE NEVER BOUGHT AN ALBUM WHERE I LIKED EVERY SINGLE SONG, BUT THIS WAS MY FIRST. THEY ARE SOOO TALENTED AND DESERVE WAY MORE CREDIT THAN THEY CURRENTLY GET. (&IM IN LOVE WITH PAUL)
    :P
  29. i love boys like girls;i saw them im concert and they are amazingg
  30. SO I met some guys from MTV at the BLG concert at the Fillmore a few weeks ago and they showed this much enthusiasm for BLG too! It's soo awesome that MTV is finally seeing this AMAZING band for who they really are. Who loves the second edition of Thunder? MEE. lol Brought me to tears in concert. If you haven't been to a show.. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!
  31. LOVE LOVE LOVE
  32. I L0VE BLG. soo much.
  33. wow. this band sucks. they're just another band for sexually frustrated 14 year old girls to cry over....like the fall out boy. it's a shame that mtv brainwashes kids to like shitty music.
  34. Boys Like Girls is a very talented band on the rise. While their topic of lyrics isn't the most original, they have a unique sound that makes them fantastic. Their chord progressions are actually really good. They're also one of the few pop-punk bands that I can listen to the words and actually understand what they're saying without having to look up the lyrics online.
  35. kinda up setting
    dont like boys like girls that much
    went to there last concert
    there all kind of dicks
    paul is just the shit

    enough said boys like girls kind of suck..sorry guys
  36. i mean if ur ganna take ur time out to say they suck, im pretty sure u have noo liife. leave it alone, there an amazing band. ive been a fan for more then two years. they deserve this. keep ur unwanted comments to urself. thanks. boys like girls are absolutely beautifull =)
  37. I heard my sister playing Boys Like Girls one time in her bedroom really loud.... i was doing homework and was really bored so i started to learn the songs.... i stole her ipod for a day and found out who they are and then bought the cd. I listened to them all last year. Morning, afternoon and night. ( i even listened to them while i sleeped thats how much i loved them) earlier this year * September or Octoberish* I heard of a "underground" show they were doing in Atascadero at Walmart center.... i totally freaked and begged my parents to let me go. I went and it was amazing. I was right in front of Paul and i was about to die he is so gorgeous! Three friends and I waited in a very long line ( we were infront) for two hours to get autographs.. i didnt think that i would react the way i did when i actually saw Paul and the rest of the boys.... but lets just say. that night was amazing. i now have an autographed cd =]
  38. stephanie u suck
    boys like girls ar th best band ever
    i love their songs they ar just amazing
    and cute too. i've been fan of them since i first heard them and i fell in love now they ar my favorit band and i think that wont change
    i love BLG!!!!!!
  39. hay ta apa kabar
  40. O.M.G I LUV BOYS LIKE GIRLS THERY ARE THE BEST BAND EVER I LUV THERE MUSIC AND I GOT TO SAY MAN THERE HOT!!!!!!!
  41. i love how some girls on here that left rude comments.

    seriously if you dont like them or anything
    why post a comment about them?

    i think they should get more credit for their work.
    i mean i know its hard to get out there.

    they sound very good and they dont sound like every other band out there because no band sounds like another band.

    believe me ive listened to plenty of out there bands and i love how boys like girls are very mellow.

    i hope to see them play sometime :]

  42. The stupid girls post comments because they want to gain attention.

    in the back of their mind and heart there is a soft spot for these awesome dudes, but for some reason they are too embarassed to show it.

    i think its just stupid to post a comment about somehting you hate, better yet be on a page about something that you hate as well.

    i mean she had to click on it!
  43. Boys Like Girls is one of the few pop groups I can listen to and actually understand the words :]
  44. i am.. in love.. with boys like girls.
    they are the most amazing band ever.

    rahhhh.
  45. boys like girls is my all time favotire band ever. im in love with paul digiovanni (the guitarist) like its really sad cos i like cried when i saw him on MTV this morninggg. lsdkjfhsdkf. i've done atleast 6 different projects on them in different classes and i've known about them for a while. i love going to their concerts;; martins voice is so amazing and has so much range that their songs are better live then on the radio.

    i love poolie.!
  46. I love Boys Like Girls because their lyrics... are my life. I can see myself in every song that they sing. Each one of their songs fits the mood that I'm in... whether it's Dance Hall Drug when I'm feeling spunky or if it's Thunder to kind of slow down. Plus, they are ah-may-zing live. I'm so glad that they are finally being recognized for their talent by radio and MTV... I just hope they don't turn into FOB and become totally cliche. I'm reaaalllyyyy disappointed in the remix for hero/heroine because I like the original version so much, although, I do like the new video, but I'm still partial to the first one. Regardless, I LOVE BLG.
  47. i saw them @ bamboozle & met Paul :)
    it was amaziiiiing :DD
  48. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!
  49. OMG!!!! I saw you guys at Warp tour and i loved your "Five Minutes to Midnight" song(Well thats how i also found out who you guys were).
    I so love you guys and I so want to want to see you guys again in concert.
  50. That is so sweet of you guys giving ice cream and cds to the elderly.
