"World Peace", but the "Become a best-selling artist and go on world tours." would make me happy too.

I wanted world peace, I really did, but I was selfish and picked dream bass. Why not. Most everyone only thinks of themselves any more. Greedy, self-centered, bastards. That's what we are.

Best selling artist and go on world tours. I would be so rich and famous , it would then allow me to buy my dream bass and a klondike bar it so desired. Since I would be selling all those albums(downloads), I would allow my favorite artist to open up for me. Then we would hang out of course. The awesomeness of my music would then make the Jonas Brothers obsolete. Then for a final endeavor, I would create my own foe world peace, similar to Bono. Thank you, good night.

I would've pick an option of "instantly having world renown bass playing skills." I didn't see one of those, so I went with a Klondike Bar.

Not to get philosophical, but it seems that humanity would have to give up alot to actually get world peace, so i chose be super successful and go on world tours.

Give up what exactly? Profits from arms manufacturing?

Anyway, in this ludicrous but entertaining scenario, the genie would simply make it happen.

Best selling artist, with a band of me and my goofball friends of course.
More people can hear our music, and we'd use the money to support bands of DIY ethic and to open the eyes to music scenes across the world.

I chose world peace... Not... I wanted to but... A little guy popped up on my shoulder and said if you sell millions of records you'll have your dream job and tons of cash! Then another one popped up on the other and said... With that much cash you could have a mansion full
of dream basses!

That's what I voted for, too. Because if you get rid of the Jonas Brothers (along with Bieber, Gaga, etc) you'll have world peace! It's a two-for-one! A buy-one-get-one-free!

I would choose world peace.... But I think it won't hurt if I do the Bono thing after selling all those records and becoming world famous

From now on, assume that the Jonas Bros option includes the aforementioned pop stars/atrocities. I was going to include them from the start but didn't know if there was a character limit for the options...

I picked world peace but if there was a vote for "replacing the bass player in your favourite band" option, it would have been a toughy

I was going to pick World Peace until I saw the Jonas brothers option.
