Acey Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 07:47 PM EST

I personally do not understand why people get so obsessed over celebrities (like the Jonas Brothers). If you like them, great. If not, that's fine too. But why fight with someone when their opinion differs? Seriously, either way, its kind of rediculous.

I actually like the Jonas Brothers. I'm glad they are posative role models for young kids, like my siblings.

Peace.

Erica Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 09:00 AM EST

I LOVE the Jonas Brothers:) Ur music ROCKS! They're all hot...Especially Kevin!!!!!!!!!

this is the reference to a previous comment also...you do REALISE that in England and Nz etc realise along with many other words are spelt different to america?!...
So i'd suggest you get your facts right before you correct people!

I think the jonas brothers need to be commended for ther succesful careers so far!
Ther not exactly my favrit singers but they are not crap either...

Darius Sanchez Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 05:31 AM EST

The Jonas Brothers never died for me so why should i worship them.

They're not amazing, and are not worthy of my praise.

Don't you girls have something to live for. Don't waste life worshiping, obsessing and idolizing them.

It makes me cry everytime i hear the phrase "oh my JONAS" :(

taylor Sat, Aug 9, 2008 at 12:11 AM EST

PS>> it sucks that everyone only sees them as disney clones. their crappiest songs are the "most popular" ones. like s.o.s. hold on. year 3000. kids of the future. burnin' up. those songs are horrible. if you listen to the songs that are buried on their album and never released as singles.. they're much better. ex. inseparable [my fave]. take a breath. hello beautiful. goodnight and goodbye. games. australia. just friends. hollywood. those are the songs worth listening to.

taylor Sat, Aug 9, 2008 at 12:03 AM EST

[in reference to a previous commenter] you do REALIZE [see i can spell] that they actually CAN fly. or at least joe can. he has wings. he said so in an interview. lol. [in reference to the $50 soda thing] wow. you're dumb. if you actually pay attention to the video. you would notice that they say that the sodas cost $65 and use that as the reason that the "$50 bill" [which is actually a 10] won't work in the machine. and i happen to love their videos. they make my day.

gracia Fri, Aug 8, 2008 at 11:49 PM EST

they are realy amazing love you JB hope to meet you some day!!!!

ciara Fri, Aug 8, 2008 at 10:57 PM EST

the jonas brothers rock!!!! they are better than anyone else i have heard. they are very unique and don't need anyone else to make them famous. they maybe part of disney but they are more that just that. people need to see past the disney cloak in their lives to see the real them. that is me opinion.

anonymous Fri, Aug 8, 2008 at 10:52 PM EST

u do realise they cant acctually fly...its just strings attached to them.

tiana Fri, Aug 8, 2008 at 10:07 PM EST

i don't car eif the jonas brothers come 4 in the rating of the pop teens coz in my eyes they will always come first '

Ash Fri, Aug 8, 2008 at 09:27 PM EST

The Jonas Brothers believe in their music. Just because they don't cuss, and have half-naked girls in their videos doesn't mean they aren't good.They write their music the way they want too, it's very possible that not every artist(s) out there feels the need to write inappropriate words in there music. The Jonas Brothers make the music they want to make, they aren't the type of people to sell out. They had a record out before Disney Channel even looked their way. They have goals in life, and are wonderful to their fans. They actually pay attention to them, unlike most artists, who once they hit fame just mention their fans when they are up there receiving an award. You may not like their type of music but that's no need to bash them because of it. It's their art and nobody has the right to dis anybody else's form of art! Simple as that!

ann Fri, Aug 8, 2008 at 09:19 PM EST

i have no problem with the jonas brothers they're okay but i don't really listen to them they're a bit too kiddie for me.

megC Fri, Aug 8, 2008 at 07:55 PM EST

My favorite moment was definitely when Demi Lovato - the girl Disney is grooming to be the next Hannah Montana - got up to present and the camera went to a shot of Kate Bosworth talking to Chad Michael Murray and you could clearly read her lips as saying, "Who is that?" and Chad shrugged.

katie Fri, Aug 8, 2008 at 06:15 PM EST

omg nick u have my heart!!!! the jonas brothers flying is the best thing that could of happenend!! MILEY CYRUS SUCKS!

McKenziie Fri, Aug 8, 2008 at 03:05 PM EST

Oh and i would so lick joe jonas. Too bad he probably wouldn't let me! hahaha. I would marry Nick. He's soo adorable and shy. and to all the girls that claim their going to marry one of those boys... GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!!!

McKenziie Fri, Aug 8, 2008 at 03:02 PM EST

I used to just like them for their looks, but once I started listening to their music, I realized that their looks are just a bonus. I think Kevins the cutest one, but thats just my opinion. It is America. Gotta love it. But you really should watch what you say, these guys are really nice and good to their fans, and they do make good music, I don't like every single song, but the one I do like are awesome and they deserve the fans they have, even if they are crazy and loud. hahaha! GOTTA LOVE IT!

holly Fri, Aug 8, 2008 at 01:33 PM EST

i hate them they cant fly they are just stupid teens trying to be cool who CANT sing

Carlie Jonas(get used to it) Fri, Aug 8, 2008 at 09:21 AM EST

First of I'd like to say, the very first comment, is rude. We have the right to say we love, Kevin, Joe, or Nick all we want.
Now about the entry. Wow, sorry that the Jonas Brothers are makin history every day. They beat Hanson out in a heart beat. Jonas, made the cover of Rolling Stones. JB is the youungest band to do that. Also, yes, the fans did scream becasue not only are they good looking, but they have goals for themselves, and they're inspiring young men. I unerstand you were "stating an opinion" but then to completeley hapr on them is just blunt and rude. I realize they're a band, but to some people they've literally saved lives. Listen to what they're music says. It's relatable and inspiring.

So, keep the rude comments to yourself, they're making their dreams come true, and changing the world while they do it.

By the way:
Kevin-Strongest man alive.
Joesph-Makes me laugh like no other.
Nick-Love of my life.

e-mail me with anything you've got to say.

iluvarchie Fri, Aug 8, 2008 at 07:39 AM EST

Ummm, its kind of embarassing to see some of the comments here like "omj nick ur so hott" or "we were offered tickets and backstage passes to the jonas brothers but we didnt take them" first of all your probably lying and CONFESSING UR LOVE FOR THEM ON EVERY SINGLE INTERNET BLOG OUT THERE WONT GET THEM TO NOTICE U OR ANYTHING. Its just strange, and dont get me wrong the jonas brothers are really talented and have good looks but there is a place for jonas fans to freak out and thats a fan site!!!!!

gina Fri, Aug 8, 2008 at 05:38 AM EST

haha the flying thing made me laugh lol
& there videos are so stupid its just funny :)..but i thnk thats on purpose.
anyways im so glad they won all those awards
& whats wrong wih ryan sheckler? lmfao

Jadyn Thu, Aug 7, 2008 at 10:23 PM EST

I love the Jonas Brothers i think they are so so so so hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love there music too all i wanna do is see there concert and marry Nick Jonas !!!!

Niquester Thu, Aug 7, 2008 at 09:42 PM EST

I'm getting really tired of this. There seriously is no point to all the arguments. If you like the Jonas Brothers, then great. If you don't like them, that's fine too!

What I don't like is when people say "I don't listen to the Jonas Brothers. I listen to GOOD music." That's such an idiotic statement. What exactly IS good music? Bands and musicians that aren't mainstream? That's what I seem to get from a lot of comments, and not only here of course. It's stupid. If I like something, I WILL keep listening to it, regardless if you think it's good or not. And I DON'T listen to things just because they're popular. I listen to anything and everything, including the Jonas Brothers. And I HATE it when people lump fans together and say that we only like them because of they're looks or just because everyone else does. Although it may be true for some, IT'S NOT TRUE FOR EVERYONE. A lot of us like them just because we like them. End of story, so back off!

jenny Thu, Aug 7, 2008 at 09:33 PM EST

I think the jonas brothers like rule out every musician. i just heart their songs, esp S.O.S and burning up. they're so hot! and rock on nick!!!!!!!

ashleigh Thu, Aug 7, 2008 at 09:25 PM EST

hey i think the jo bros are the best popstars ever. plus they are the cutest people ever. i think the cutest is nick though. and i love there songs there the bomb.

Ruby Thu, Aug 7, 2008 at 07:42 PM EST

Woahhhh,whats with all the fighting?Honestly,the Jonas Brothers aren't really worth much argument.We all have different opinions,I really think some jonas fans take this a little too far.I used to hate the Jonas Brothers,but even when I did,I knew they were talented.I just didn't like them because they were just enterprise.It was my opinion completely,I wasn't trying to turn people against them,I just didn't like them.And people just didn't like me,because I didn't like them.I didn't understand why people expected me to agree with them,and like the Jonas Brothers because they do.I didn't expect them to hate the Jonas Brothers with me,I JUST DIDN'T LIKE THEM!Girls even had their boyfriends trip me no the stairs.I still stuck by what I beleived though,I shouldn't have to agree,its America.
Now about a year later,I'm going into 8th grade,and I acctually have alot more respect for them.They have a lot of talent,they're very good to their fans and they are role models.Rock on!

leah and becca Thu, Aug 7, 2008 at 07:39 PM EST

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love your new song burnin up!!!! JOE YOU ARE SO CUTE!!!!! WE HAVE EVERY CD!!!! THOSE PICTURES OF YAL WHEN YALL WERE KIDS WERE CUUUUUUUUUTE!!!

Erica Thu, Aug 7, 2008 at 07:26 PM EST

I LOVE the Jonas Brothers
Sooo much. Forever love.

Mia Thu, Aug 7, 2008 at 05:27 PM EST

Jonas Brothers are talented musicians and vocalists, they are generous to fans, funny, charming and all three of them are gorgeous. It is really difficult not to love them, I am 20 btw. I know they will last a really long time.

well the jonas brothers are soooooo hot and i meen hottt it is so stupid that you guys think that they are gay..if they were gay they woulnd't date GIRLS!!

veonka rios Thu, Aug 7, 2008 at 02:14 PM EST

i dont know why guys say that the jonas brothers are gay when they clearly are not i mean look at them they are so cute especially joe jonas

veonka rios Thu, Aug 7, 2008 at 02:10 PM EST

love all of your song and you guys are so cute

Julie Thu, Aug 7, 2008 at 09:28 AM EST

okay so i am a BIG jonas brothers fan and i'm very proud to say it!!
the jonas brothers are an amazing band and they also happen to be amazing people. i definately agree that the teen choice awards were over-rated but seriously give those boys a break!! they are just as talented or better than any other artist out there right now. if u don't like their music that's your deal but don't hate on them because of who they are personally. Last time i checked there was no harm in having a purity ring and encouraging little kids to not have sex before marriage. so word to those jonas-haters out there: when u have kids are u gonna want ur kids to listen to squeaky clean bands like the jonas boys or jailbirds like 50 cent? idk personally i'll take the jonases.
peace love and jonas

GetOverYourself Thu, Aug 7, 2008 at 06:19 AM EST

Why do the Jonas Brothers have to please YOU, anyway? Get over yourself! And why are they held to a higher standard than other artists who are popular right now? They write their songs, play instruments, are true gentlemen, have standards & values, and treat people with respect. What more do do they have to do to get some respect? I'm an older fan who has met them and been to 2 concerts (3rd coming up) and I really enjoy their shows and respect them as people and as artists. If you attended one of their concerts, you would be blown away. Honest. Give them a try. But if you want r-rated lyrics, scantily-clad booty-shaking girls, or crotch-grabbing singers, you will be disappointed. But if you want to have a GREAT time, watch the show that these guys put on. It's impressive. Don't knock them 'til you've tried them.

Dana Thu, Aug 7, 2008 at 01:22 AM EST

I love the Jonas Brothers and hating on them only make you look like the idiot. While they are out making millions, you're complaining/whining on your computer about how much you hate them... hmmm... who has the bad end of the deal here? Because pathetic comments from haters only fuse the love from the fans. The more you hate, the more we love JB, the more we sell out all of their concerts, buy all their albums. So in the end, you'r just making the JB richer. Jonas Brothers forever!

Shelly Thu, Aug 7, 2008 at 12:47 AM EST

I thought Miley Cyrus was full of herself, and rude towards ACDC who did every bit as good or better then M&M cru.

lisa Thu, Aug 7, 2008 at 12:37 AM EST

The Jonas brothers were amazing at Teen Choice! I was there! I loved them flying over! Their style is hot and they have great personalities! Plus i love their music!! woo hooo

Melanie Thu, Aug 7, 2008 at 12:20 AM EST

But I do agree that the Teen Choice awards are Disney-dominated and really were kinda painful to watch. It is worth noting that one of the awards, the Do-Something Award, was given to a non-celebrity teen activist who had made a difference in the world. This award, unlike the Choice Myspacer, is one that should be continued as it is a great way to recognize teens for all the hard work they do trying to make a difference through positive change instead of wasting time making negative and insulting comments.

Melanie Thu, Aug 7, 2008 at 12:05 AM EST

Maddie is absolutely right. Since the Jonas Brothers sing about what is considered wholesome and not offensive/inappropriate they provide good role models for pre-teen girls which is the dominant demographic of the Disney market. Maybe the Jonas Brothers would have more fans in the teenage boy demographic if their lyrics were more offensive or whatev, but that's not who the music is aimed towards!

And sure their music might be sugar-coated pop, but I loved it in the 90s and I still enjoy it today. As for Hanson, I remember that they were big when I was young but I only remember one song: Mmmbop. Give the JB some time and then evaluate them. I don't think the JB are trying to be the Beatles or Elvis or Mozart. They're just making they're own music-whether it's your style or not-and are entitled to enjoy whatever fame comes with it.

Why do people invest so much time in hating something? Commenting u dislike the JB isn't really gonna make a difference, why waste ur time?

Maddie Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 11:41 PM EST

I don't understand. Truly I don't.
Why do people dislike the Jonas Brothers? I can understand that people may not like their style of music but come on, their amazing role models. They don't write songs about doing drugs or banging girls. They talk about how every girl is beautiful. What other band has three teenage boys who aren't gonna have sex till they get married, huh? There good people overall and I think you should give them a break.
So if you had a daughter who liked the Jonas Brothers would you tell her not to like them? Why? Because they wear purity rings? Where I come from that's a good thing. Because they write songs saying all girls are beautiful and they don't sing about drugs, alcohol or sex? No, you'd want your daughter listening to their positive influences.

me:) Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 11:16 PM EST

people are so stupid..if you don't like jb then why look at the article?

Skyler Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 09:00 PM EST

Also Gandharva, for someone who doesn't care about the Jonas brothers, you sure do say a lot about them. Leave them alone. They are big role models to a lot of young girls and even some very kind guys out there who do look up to them. There not looking for fame and fortune. They are looking to make music and make the fans happy. That's all they ever focus on. Making the fans happy and putting smiles on their faces. I have met the boys when the cameras were off and when not many people were around. They're parents raised thmem very well. So for you to say such rude things about them, that means you're disrespecting their parents. Don't you dare disresepct their very kind parents. You're only 16! Kevin and Joe are both older than you but you act like you're 40. I can understand people not being into the Jonas Brothers. But diss them personally especially when you DON'T EVEN KNOW THEM and there's a problem. Keep your damn comments on a music level. Not personal. It's certainly NOT okay.

Skyler Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 08:53 PM EST

Gandharva honestly what is your problem? You are one of the biggest hypocrites have ever seen. You posted six pointless comments about the Jonas Brothers. A boy band that you don't know anything about but instead you're typing stupid opinions that no one cares about. How laughable that you would waste time on google to look up stuff about them up to add to your pathetic defense. I honestly couldn't care less if you write or sing or play better than the Jonas Brothers. They are certainly not here to impress you, and CERTAINLY don't care about you. Incase your unintelligent brain got it, the Jonas Brothers are very loved between tweens and teen fans. Of course the majority of them would be of adolesent and mainly girls. You're only 16 but you talk like you have been around for so long. Keep in mind that you haven't experienced half of life yet so your annoying comments don't make you mature.

BurninUp4UBaby Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 08:05 PM EST

Gandharva, can you let anyone voice there opinion without totally critizing them and picking at small flaws that everyone (including you) has?

Alayna Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 08:04 PM EST

I'm not typically a fan of pop music, but I love the JoBros. Especially Frankie. You wouldn't know who he is unless you're a fan. Anyhow, I think JB are excellent role models. They have good, Christian values that most people in their 40s can't honestly lay claim to. I do think they're kind of girly, but I don't think their hottness is narcisissm at work. I think girlish looking guys come off as less threatning than manly looking guys. They do have real talent, unlike Miley, whose voice is only good after it's been fixed. I do agree that Miley and HSM just put a big "?" over my forehead. I used to think Miley was good (not talent-wise) until those Vanity Fair photos (and other things). I totally didn't know the JoBros could fly. Lol, and vending machine sodas *are* fifty dollars in Heaven, thank you.

Joan Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 07:38 PM EST

The boy band when I was young was The Beatles. So I know boy bands can be great, amazing and long standing. I think the Jonas Brothers have it in them. I hope they stay smart, work smart and save smart. So far I am SOOOOO impressed. Thanks guys.

my2cents Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 06:57 PM EST

Let's all just let each other have our own opinions. And in the meantime, let's also be happy for those who are enjoying success and celebrity. These boys don't have to be on par with the Beatles for us to be kind to them, do they? C'mon. Geez.

Gandharva Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 05:44 PM EST

Madonna and Janet Jackson also suck.
Just for the record.
As for the Beatles and elvis presley. First of all, they were both, of course, over-rated. BUT, let's see what they did.
Elvis combined country, blues, folk, and old time music into a new genre of rock and roll.
He also stole his hit song "hound dog" from a black blues singer big momma thorton. He got famous for it because he is white. (It's true, look it up.)
The beatles combined american rock and roll, pop music, british psychedelia, and easter music theory into a whole new genre which started a musical and cultural revolution.

And i just watched them on youtube, so i can definitely say they do nothing new at all.
Yes, and the middle one sucks at all those instruments, otherwise he would play them semi-regularly, and not just on one song.
As for all the coments about how hot they are.
Rock and roll had sex idols and front-men that are way beyond the brothers.
Jim morrison, for instance.
Robert Plant
David Gilmour
Mick Jagger

Annie Barrett Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 05:42 PM EST

Hi, everyone. You've gotta relax, please! I never questioned the Jonas Brothers' musical talent -- this post was only intended to point out the spectacle of the situation from a skeptical but basically amused point of view. Please enjoy my coworker Maria's glowing review of this morning's Jonas Brothers convention.

SAMMY LOVES KEVIN JONAS,NICH JONAS,AND ESPEACAILY JOE JONAS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 05:40 PM EST

I THINK THE JONAS BROTHERS R THE HOTTEST LIVING BRATHING SEXIEST MEN IN THE WHOLE INTIRE WORLD AND I THINK THAT WHEN THEY WERE "FLYING IN THE AIR" OR HANGING BY ROPE THAT IT IS A MAGOR STEP AND BY MAGOR I MEEN AWSOME THEY WANT TO GET THEIR FANS INVOLVED SO THEY GO INTO THE AUDIANCSE. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THEIR CD "A LITTLE BIT LONGER" CVOMES OUT BECAUSE I HEARED THAT THEY HAVE ALL NEW SONGS AND EXSTRA FETURES ON IT SO ITS EXSITING AND NOT ONLY IS THAT EXSITING BUT THE JONAS BROTHERS R SO HOT THAT, THATS EXSITING TO

Aimee Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 05:31 PM EST

Just because you, the writer of this, are probably a balding, middle aged man doesn't give you the right to bash performers are the Teens Choice Awards, that's right the "Teen's Choice". I personally love the Jonas Brothers and their music, and I am not particularily fond of Mariah Carey, but that doesn't mean I don't try and pinpoint every flaw she has in her performance. You should try to look at things in a positive light, it will help you in your aging process.

All this Jonas Brothers love really takes me back..."Duran Duran are the best and I'm going to marry Simon and I'll always love them no matter what. And don't say Simon sounds like a dying cat, that's mean." Ah, teenagerhood. Was my skin really as thin as the indignant posters on this thread? (Uh, guys? Annie's comments? Not really that scathing.) At any rate I hope my spelling, grammar and logic weren't quite as atrocious when I was 13...

Amy Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 04:34 PM EST

THE JONAS BROTHERS ROCK, I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!

Anne Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 04:22 PM EST

I don't know whether the Jonas brothers can sing or not, and I don't really care. All I know is that they are quite shallow and not at zll intellectual, so they don't deserve to be so many children's role models.

Whoa Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 04:14 PM EST

The JB write their lyrics & melodies. They are now into record producing for other artists. They play several instruments. And "the middle one" plays guitar, keyboards & drums IN ADDITION to tambourine and being an engaging front man. Did Elvis, The Beatles, Madonna, Janet Jackson and other talented artists have to do those things in order to just get a LITTLE kudos?! No. Geez, lighten up on these guys! As for the ridiculous things they had to do on the show, I couldn't help but think of when Elvis had to sing Hound Dog on live television to an actual hound. Yikes!

Ok, thank you for explaining. Now I understand the piece - it's SUPPOSED to be opinionated, not general news reporting. I get it now. I still think it's very cruel toward every person mentioned, though. That's a shame. I'm concerned about our culture of rudeness, criticism, and not being happy for someone else's success. It's a sad societal trend. I don't like to see "reporting" going that direction. As for the Jonas boys... I wish them much success. They are gentlemen who really do have talent - that's why Disney's Hollywood Records label smartly snatched them up - I just wish they had performed rather than do the unfortunate things they had to do on the show. And it's even more unfortunate that they have to endure such printed cruelty. Mariah isn't my cup of tea but, eh, I still wish her success versus a swift demise. Try wishing people well... it feels better.

And, for the record, I was much better than them by 13, and i looked up the ages, they are 15, 18, and 20.
Also of interest is that the youngest one was born in the town I currently live in, apparently they were also here recently.
Interesting.

And, most people are just as good as them.
If you haven't noticed, they can't really play. One of the brothers plays tambourine only, and i don't even know what the others do, but they mostly just hold instruments while a full four man backing band plays behind them.
That's not impressive.

gandharva Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 03:30 PM EST

No, I have friends who aren't interested in that music, and i have my own band so that I know there will always be music i enjoy at a party.
You might not enjoy it, but you won't be able to deny that it is musically, lyrically, and technically more advanced and complex than any JB song. (Technically complex means more difficult to play.)
So, not everything is objective, music is art (sometimes) and art is based on taste.
But you can measure some things objectively, and when you do, The jonas brothers fall pitifully short of Pink Floyd (My favorite band) or Ornette Coleman (favorite jazz artist) or mozart (classical era composer) Tchaikovsky (romantic era) etc.
Another difference is the superficiality.
Those artists were about their art, The JB are more focused on being celebrities. Their music is for their public image, and art for fame sake is not true.
And there's a difference between caring and enjoying.

A//E is right. The Teen choice awards is not an accurate name. Teenagers are aged 13-19, and most people within that age group do not like the disney channel. They like tons of other worthless pop culture bullshit, but not the disney channel.
The disney channel is basically shows about preteens who try to be teenagers from the viewpoint of writers over 21 trying to please 8 to 12 year olds.
Jamie, why only mention Mozart? Because he's the only one of those musicians (all of whom, by the way are noted musical geniuses, or at least noted for being innovative and musically advanced, depending on what you consider a genius they may or not be "geniuses") that you recognize?
How does not being interested in teeny bopper pop music constitute as not having a life?
Because when I go to parties in my senior year of high school, I'm going to hear Jonas Brothers on the stereo?

i'd like to see how many of these people who say such horrible things about the jonas brothers are or were [at their ages] able to do the things they can..they are very talented.

jggef Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 03:21 PM EST

Melissa Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 03:19 PM EST

Woow. I don't know how to describe how stupid you are within the "keep it clean" restriction you have. The flying thing was extremely lame, but not all Jonas Brothers fans are prepubescent girls, although that seemed to be all that was there. Their youtube videos are AMAZING. They can always bring a smile to my face no matter what happens. But I'm glad to see that you watched the video. I reccommend the video entitled "One Week". Yeah. It's awesome. Eat it, 'Anne'.

Alecia :) Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 03:16 PM EST

The Jonas Brother's rockkkkk :)

Jim: at least The Monkees had some memorable songs, written by some of the top songwriters of their day such as Carole King and Neil Diamond.

Jim Ziegler Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 02:27 PM EST

It just proves that with the Disney machine behind you anyone can be a star. It doesn't matter how much or how little talent you have. In my day we had the Monkees.

A//E Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 01:31 PM EST

And what's wrong w/ mozart anyway?! He was a musical genius. And if you don't enjoy other people's opinions, that's going to be tough luck for you, b/c EVERYBODY has an opinion. And everyone has the right to express it. Even you people who are against this article.

stepheni Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 01:15 PM EST

jonas brothers, u guys are the best band singer in the world, + the cutest guys in the world.

ApAthetiC//ExistEncE Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 01:14 PM EST

I totally love this take on the disney channel stars! They're so fake, and it frustrates me to know that so many people like them. I'm not saying all of them are bad, but you hear about them and see them so much it gets irritating, and when you try to get rid of it, it's like trying to get rid of the wind. It keeps coming back! I have friends who love the jonas brothers, but I've had just about enough of them. Why not call the "Teen Choice Awards" the "Disney Channel Awards"?

Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 01:07 PM EST

I'm not the same Jamie as b4 and im also burninup4ubaby...i typed my name in on accident

Jamie Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 01:04 PM EST

O...wait...U r a teenager... U just dont have a life...sorry...<3.ily!

Vickie Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 01:03 PM EST

I think it's interesting people who hate pop culture, the Jonas brothers, etc are even reading this article and then making comments. It only goes to show that you really DO care about pop culture and all the things you claim to dislike.

BurninUp4UBaby Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 12:59 PM EST

Gandharva were u ever a teenager?

BurninUp4UBaby Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 12:55 PM EST

Wow Gandharava...motzart... really!? seriously, u guys everyone has the right to voice there opinion but if u dont like the Jonas brothers y post it on here and make hundreds of thousands of teenage girls pissed at you?so being a supporter of the jonas brothers i ask that if u hate the jonas brothers keep the rude comments to urself or tone it down a little. and mc pluto was a planet like 2 years ago and will always be a planet in my heart. JB are good kids and they havent done anything to you...so suck on that!

Gandharva Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 12:54 PM EST

Why waste my time? Well, simply put, I am injured and therefore stuck inside and on the computer, so i have plenty of time to waste.
Also, i enjoy writing, so any excuse is a good excuse.
And, quite honestly, typing "U" instead of "you" barely saves time, and the time it does save isn't worth how stupid it makes you look.
Same with the "<3" and "ilyy."
If you want to be taken seriously, don't be an idiot.
Now, as for Peace and Love. (The person who writes intelligently.)
This is not strait reporting, it *is* an opinion piece.
It's a different genre of writing completely, and it's one that i frankly find much more interesting.
If this article was strictly about who won and such, i doubt it would have gotten half the readership, i certainly would not have cared.
Again, this is interesting, intelligent writing.
It is an argument piece rather than a strict report.
For instance, when you watch the news, one person tells you what happened, and another tells you the repercussions.

Maria Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 12:48 PM EST

To those who are shocked and offended by this article: it isn't meant to be a hard news article. It is meant to be a pop culture review, and as such, it reflects the journalist's view and does not need to be objective. If the reviewer had been fawning all over The Jonas Brothers instead of turning a jaundiced eye on them, I'll bet none of you would have had a problem with the lack of objectivity.

What? Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 12:39 PM EST

Were you paid to write that? Yikes!

Peace&Love Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 12:38 PM EST

Were you absent from Journalism 101 the day they taught that the number one rule of reporting is to be "objective" (just report the news), not "subjective" (writing with an opinionated slant)? My gripe with your writing is that it served only be cruel and get a laugh at others' expense. Yes, the show was hokey and I cringed with embarrassement for the otherwise talented Jonas Brothers and others... but I really think your article is very cruel. And it is quite opinionated which, to me, isn't journalism. Why not report who the winners were, etc.? Why sink to such a low level of writing?
