I think Disney may have something to do with them.

+1.

This was the first video I saw of the Jonas Brothers. My reaction was quite similar to the one Miley Cyrus video I saw...I wanted to see what the big deal was about. Each time-I should have watched something else.

They performed on Dick Clark's "New Year's Rockin' Eve" last week. According to a post on another site, "I was sure if there were balls dropped in Times Square it was going to be one of the Jonas Brothers."

Of course, anyone who refers to things as "awesome" in 2009 is presumptively an eftard, but to be unable to spell a word that probably constitutes 20% of your working vocabulary?

After watching that, I am now deaf, dumb and blind, although I don't play a mean pinball.

Come on people, it's for children. If I had a child I would want them to be interested in the jonas brothers, at least it's music. Might as well make threads about how dumb GI Joe was, or how unrealistic Full House is. IT'S FOR LITTLE KIDS.

I started a "worst covers" thread here in misc, but I'm not sure it needs more Jonas Brothers. That was just incredibly awful. Who would even suggest that they cover that song? They can't come close to matching Stevie Wonder's musical abilities and they can't come close to matching his vocal ability either, even though they try to use his inflections which just makes it more annoying. And that's to say nothing of the lack of groove.

I don't really want to see them butchering any more classic songs, but that one was a failure from the moment someone thought of it. The number of people that have the talent to do good covers of Stevie Wonder songs (Jeff Beck for example) is pretty small.

Your 10 year old sister-in-law? How old is your wife that she has a 10 year old sister?

Yep - they are the little puppets of Disney, made to make money off of kids. I hate disney - it's like the guitar center of the entertainment biz - sure there's some good that comes out of it, but it's all marketing and low-end product sales that matters.

The sad part is that there are people my age who like them just as much as pre-teens

Oh this is funny. You make fun of using the word awesome, and in the same sentence you use the word "eftard"...
I don't think I'll be taking you seriously...

Haha. Long story. She's 32. I'm 36. But when her dad's marriage fell through he married someone his daughter's age who already had a kid.

Yep. They are a MAJOR 'cash cow' for Disney, and for whatever label they are signed with. I hope they enjoy it while it lasts.. 'cuz music fans of that age group tend to get BORED and fed up with almost any/all acts overnight it seems.

I pity the Jonas Brothers the day they grow up and try to get serious and mature with their music.

It's a lot easier if you don't sing!
