First
So true
God how they suck
I disagree, especially with those 12 yr. olds
Aww yeah. Rawr. xDD
loli love is loli.
Why are 13 year old girls so obsessed with the gayest looking Pop group ever?
I mean at least some of the guys from BB and N’sync were normal looking.
They’re more falmboyant than Bowie sometimes…and he was bi for the longest time! (or at least that’s what my mohter tells me!).
i think the flamboyant thing kind of worked for bowie, though. as far as i know he was definitely still a sex symbol to some even with all the makeup. as for the jonas brothers… i’m not so sure that they’re flamboyant so much as they are displaying an immature form of masculinity.
“i’m not so sure that they’re flamboyant so much as they are displaying an immature form of masculinity.”
very, VERY well phrased, imo.
My mum had a poster of him when she was my age lol
gosh…how old is you mum?? wait, how old are you??
Except the same thing was said about BB and N’Sync back in the day, despite how “normal” you think they look now.
HEY!!!! I’m 12, and I hate the motherf******!!! Those damm fangirls give twens a bad name.
Um 13 year old girls have awesome taste! thats why!!
you still live with your mommy?
Says you. . . have you seen how 12-year-olds dress these days?
I know what you mean. I’m 16 and I’ve had 10 year old boys hit on me, and 12 year old girls call me a nerd because I dress extremly conservative. >.<
Hell, I know a 15 year old that doesn’t seem to own a single top that doesn’t show off her cleavege. She’d probably come to school in a bikini if there wasn’t a dress code!
i totally agree. it’s a shame that as the years go by kids are getting dumber and dumber about their sexuality. it’s like an 11 or 12 year old being a virgin is a crime and that’s so sad. i’m 16 and i’m a virgin but because i choose to be and know the facts. i KNOW i’m not invincible like so many other girls do. i got the facts first (for once) and i’ll act later. i personally do show off my cleavage tho cuz i’m proud of my chest lol, when you develope really quickly like i did it’s nice. haha. also being bi has started being a fad, that so lame! why are people’s chioces becoming fad? like being gay, bi, white kids being black/hispanic/cholos etc., kids being emo (which is a f_cking MUSIC GENRE) and all that stuff. it’s stupid.
That’s so true. It pisses me off that being bi or gay or whatever is a fad. They teach kids close to nothing useful in school. Soon they’ll be 13 year old octa-moms everywhere and it’ll be a shame if you’re not one of em.
I thought emo was a term for people who are seriously depressed and a name for a music genre.
But I agree, people theese days wear black and think they are being “emo”… but they fail…
Yeah, i’m ashamed that schools have dress codes
*phone rings at jonas brothers house*
*nick picks up*
Nick: Hello?
80s: is Kevin there?
Nick: sure lemme go get him
Kevin: hullo?
80s: sorry kevin, we want our sideburns back.
lame i know
You see I remember making a conscious effort to cut off my sideburns in the 80′s.
Yay Invader Zim!
Kat, you mom was/is right, Bowie *STILL* openly admits that he is bisexual.
And yeah, the Jonas Brothers make him, Boy George, and the entirety of Frankie Goes To Hollywood look Arnold-level STRAIGHT!
Dont forget a Flock of Seagulls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh god how could we? The hair!!!!!
“You’ve got the head pigeons! Go to the nurse before they spread to the other children!”
LAWL, Barry that was good, and thanks for conferming that for me.
I am a teen but I just hate them… so much. Actually, I prefer to stick myself in the 80′s. I’m listening to Welcome to the Pleasuredome right now
Frankie Goes to Hollywood is awesome!
I’m 14(yeah I know HUGE difference) but I do like them.Well actually I like Nick lol.Kevin’s just weird.Most people I know think he is too.I’ve heard them live and they weren’t that bad compared to some popular bands out there.
“weren’t that bad”? Holy crap. How can you like a … band(?) and be a fan of them when the best you can say of their live performance is that it “wasn’t that bad”? I despair. P.S. you need to learn to clarify; most people you know like nick or most people you know think kevin is weird? Wait, don’t answer that. I just don’t care.
Jees lighten up I’m only 14.I’m still at school.And English is not my best subject.l
lol
Actually Emma, it was perfectly clear. Gobo appears to believe that his/her arguments possess greater intellectual weight where supported by a facile criticism of someone else’s grammar.
When I was twelve, I really liked Roxette. I grew out of it. I’m sure you will too.
Emma may even be embarrassed that she ‘liked’ the group in a couple of years from now. Happens to all of us. lol
I liked them. With emphasis on the “ed”. Im over them, but Im not embarrassed I used to like them.
I like Honor Society now.
They are JBs opening act, but it seems like Jb should be opening for THEM. Honor Society is way hotter, way better, and way more mature.
Should check them out.
I loved New Kids on the Block in my day. *bows head in shame*
I like NKOTB more now than I did when they were actually relevant.
Joey was my fave. I had one of those big buttons with his face on it.
*sigh*
lol
learn:
commercial bands are not about music.
they are about entertainment.
they can be “not that bad” at music and as long as they are entertaining, no one will care. the music is a front, just a reason to put on a show. much of the time people want a show and a look and and an atmosphere and a product, not quality music.
frankly i don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. i don’t think just wanting a “show” and to be simply entertained is inherently a bad thing… it’s no different from any kind of TV program or movie or even play in that regard, just with varying degrees of intellectual involvement. as long as people can tell the difference between an ‘artist’ that is merely for show, and a band that produces music of a high quality. it seems most of the time, most people can’t though.
Sure, I don’t think their music is very good, but chances are the folks who make fun of the Jonas Brother’s abstinence are probably getting laid about as often as… well… the Jonas Brother’s.
I don’t criticize them for their abstinence, who am I to judge?
I criticize them for practically screaming “I ABSTAIN!”.
…And the epicfail of their music, of course.
“I ABSTAIN!!
Waitwait, hold on ladies, don’t leave yet, I was just about to mutilate some of your favorite songs.”
Burn!
YOUR JUST JELLUS OF THEYR TELANT AND MONEY, THE JO BROS AR HOT
gimme a break.
Ahem, your lack of age and education is showing. And those words are supposed to be spelled “jealous”, “talent”, “are”, and “Jonas”, not “jellus”, “telent”, “ar”, or even “Jo”.
Its called sarcasm dumbass
As well as a lack of couth. “dumbass”, indeed.
You sir, fail.
Dont try to dodge the fact that you totally didnt see my sarcasm. Be ashamed mister.
Sir? Mister? At least he’s/she’s polite.
And all the mistakes are “you’re,” “jealous,” “their talent,” “Jonas brothers are,” and “give me.”
Then again, since its sarcastic, he’s/she’s on our side.
Yeah, I was making fun of how the jonas brothers’ fans are little kids that
cant spell..
or use an apostrophe (that would be ‘)
No, it would be ‘. What you used is an accent grave from French.
Stop analyzing my goddamn grammar, its the internetz.
YOUR MOM! xD
Ever wonder why nobody takes you seriously on “the internetz”? That’s why.
No, kids in their teens who like the Jonas Brothers can spell. Only the little spazes that go psycho when they even hear the band’s name are the ones who spell like that.
oh, and don’t forget it’s: “they’re” not “THEYR”
stay in school, darling.
Grammar is your friend.
They remind me of an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, where her watcher, Giles, had to babysit Buffy’s little sister, Dawn.
“It was horrible. We ate cookie-dough, talked about what boys she liked at school, then she forced me to listen to aggressively cheerful music by bands composed of a boys chosen for their ability to DANCE.”
Hmmmm, cute…except the Jonas Brothers don’t dance. They play instruments and just MOVE, and put on a damn good live show. Don’t listen to their 8-14 year old fans, they can’t spell and don’t know what they are talking about, but that’s not their fault,they are little and don’t know anything about music – they think it’s all supposed to sound like R&B. These boys are really good. And they have plenty of fans who are 16-30 (myself included on the upper end),many of us are perfectly hot, and they’d be quite lucky to bone us. But I respect their choice not to. You have NO idea what the energy of sexual repression does for a performance.
You don’t have to like them, but since the likelihood you have a clue what you’re talking about re:Jonas is pretty low, I don’t have to like you, either, then. So, neener.
Oh and Phoneboy is SOOOOO right.
people 16-30 SHOULDNT listen to the Jonas Brothers.. the target audience IS for 8-14/
Do you actually enjoy watching the Disney channel…?
Depressing.
What I can’t like them when I turn 15 in a few months? lmao
Nope. A Disney agent will be coming to your house to collect CDs and posters to distribute amongst 4 year olds to start the cycle all over again. ;o)
Oh no! lol
You get my goddamn point
okay……
Does it really matter who likes them and who doesn’t? I’m 13 and I absolutely hate, and when I say hate, I mean HATE them. My 4 year old niece loves them though… and I am forced to listen to them in the car with her. Once, my friends and I almost ripped the CD out of the CD player and threw it out the car window. Lol.
I lol’d
“Hmmmm, cute…except the Jonas Brothers don’t dance.”
Perhaps, but the analogy holds true, they are a manufactured product, designed to rake in cash for their sponsors, then be quietly disposable once their 15 minutes of fame is over.
“You have NO idea what the energy of sexual repression does for a performance. ”
Actually, I do. Prince (or “the Artist Formerly Known As”) is a prime example of that, since he lives practically like a monk and unleashes all that libido onstage.
“since the likelihood you have a clue what you’re talking about re:Jonas is pretty low, I don’t have to like you, either, then.”
As a parent, I can honestly say I HAVE observed some of their performances, and I have to respectfully disagree with your opinion. Sorry.
And in my case, Phoneboy is wrong, as my wife can attest.
Pwned! *awaits high-five*
*skin*
i guess i just don’t understand the mentality that there is anything wrong with manufactured product. :\ to me it seems a fallacy to pretend that anything isn’t. unless you are living in the wilderness in a log cabin and grow all your food on your own and weave your own clothing from wool you sheared yourself, everyone is completely entombed in capitalism. practically everything you own and everything you touch cost money; human beings today are completely dependant on manufactured product. to try and draw lines and say that “it’s okay to have this much manufactured, but beyond that we are going to pretend that this is authentic and inspired,” seems a little futile to me in this day and age. :\ by all means if you are able to discover some piece of artwork that is inspired and original, laud it ceaselessly, it’s deserved. but i can’t find it within me, personally, to critique anything for being manufactured, as i realistically perceive myself inseparable from a manufactured environment and thus at times accept listening to music the same way. really i find only nature is truly refreshing to the spirit.
but this is really only one way of thinking about the issue and i know people vary widely in that regard.
Manufactured expression… You don’t see a problem with expression being stale and shrink wrapped into cubes.
Clothes and food sure. However, you can tell the difference between processed food and fresh food right? I certainly know that I can tell the difference between microwaved TV dinners and Lynn’s cooking at home.
So I’m sorry, as an artist or what is left of one, I find the idea of having expression being manufactured as Not being okay.
YES
they don’t play instruments, they pose with them while someone on a recording plays.
…you’ve clearly never been to a real concert before.
i JUST WA (pesky caps lock) watched that episode again at the weekend. That line made me laugh like an imbicile. Great stuff.
maybe something’s wrong with me, but i like boys who can dance. i just like dance in general. i also like aggressively cheerful music because it makes me feel better.
i generally avoid backstreet boys, n*sync, jonas brothers, i don’t even know, all of their ilk. but i can’t criticize cheerfulness or dancing boys. :3
and actually i think cookie dough is fantastic. i guess i usually prefer it once it’s baked though…
The point is that people chosen for their dancing skills aren’t supposed to be singers. You choose people who can SING to be singers. It would be like me choosing a person for their mechanical skills to be an English teacher.
The criticism isn’t about dancing. It is about choosing people to do the role because they do it well. Not because they do something else.
a effin’ men.
Do you REALLY believe they practice abstinence? I really doubt it…….
No, they don’t *practice it*, but they still can’t get laid…
I never got the whole “boy band” thing, even when I was in the 8-15 set. They’re to pretty, too polished and they’re music isn’t that great. Of course, I was rocking out to the brilliant talents of Motley Crue and Poison, so I suppose that I have no leg to stand on as far as judging anybody else’s taste! lol
And while, as an adult, I think the whole “abstinence-only” thing is way overplayed, especially for older teens and people over 18, I must admit that it’s good to see abstinence promoted and made cool to the 8-15 set – they shouldn’t be having sex at that age anyway!
Says who? If there’s grass on the field, play ball.
ftw
At least we hope
Haha. People that don’t have sex are stupid!
lol WTF?
Uh… I completely disagree… especially for people ages like… 18 and under. Sex isn’t a game… You can catch nasty diseases and if you’re a girl, then you can get pregnant.
Just look at Hanson. All of them are married with kids. In their early 20s. One of them has like four. Jonas brothers, that is your future.
God, dont all of you guys have anything better to do then type bad things about a friggin’ DISNEY POP BAND?!?!?! I think that both sides in this argument are being immature and that everyone is titled to their own opinions. If you like Led Zepplin, go listen to Led Zepplin. If you like New Kids On The Block, go listen to New Kids On The Block. And yes, if you like the Jonas Brothers,go litsen to the Jonas Brothers. Just leave the pre-estrogen girls alone and go on with your lives!!!
here here
The Jonas Brothers are amazing.
I’m not 12 and I’m a fan.
They are just that good.
Tell me, what makes them.. “good”?
i’m so happy you enjoy them in such a sincere manner.
to each their own.
cheers!
How old *are* you?
I’m thirteen {fourteen on the tenth, 2 days!!!} and I’m not blind to their lack of talent…
green day? not prefabricated?
You obviously know nothing about the band.
they used to play good music but changed to become more “radio friendly”.
seriously.
i don’t understand why the very mention of jonas brothers brings so much argument and lulz and angt sand conflict all at once. :\
does the existence of entertainment units like jonas brothers surprise people? honestly, we live in an age of commericalism which appeals to every taste… particularly those with money (ie, disney’s target of preteens who get their parents to buy them things). is it a surprise to people that there are groups out there that are not to their taste, that they dislike and don’t understand and find pointless/talentless/etc? i should hope not; if that were the case you’d be far too naive.
but if how horrible you percieve the jonas brothers to be is not a surprise to you… i mean, if you were hardly expecting them to be good in the first place… why on earth are you upset about it? why can’t you just accept it, ignore it, and move on?
hahah i meant “angst and”. not angt sand. i have no idea what that is.
A misspelling of”Agent Sand?” Something Charlie’s Angels use in their zen gardens?
Another Green Day fan, cheers.
JONAS BROTHERS ROCK!!!
TASTE IN MUSIC SUCKS!!!
jonas brothers suck
EPIC WIN.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I’m only thirteen, but everyone else my age like the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, ect. Personally, I like Britney Spears, Paramore, Christina Aguilara, Ne-yo, Lil’ Wayne, Taylor Swift, ect. I hate how the stupid Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus music is practically force fed to anyone with a radio or television…
I’m sorry to say that your music choice is no better than Jonas Brothers…
I concur. I am now fourteen, and everyone at my school either loves High School Musical, Jonas Brothers, or Miley Cyrus. I prefer 70-80′s music. But yeah, there’s an Influx of really, really bad music. *Uuugh…*
I am thirteen {I repeat, fourteen in 2 days!} and my music taste consists mostly ofParamore, AAR {I agree, Move Along is way overplayed, but it has a nice message.}, Vanessa Carlton {best musician of the 21st century} and some Secondhand Serenade, Ok Go, Flyleaf, and Evanesence {there’s others, but I doubt there’s enough room here to list *every* song on my iPod.} My friends and I all HATE these generic Disney musicians. Disney is like one big cult family that marries their cousins and produces inbred movie-children. I also hated the movie Twilight. Nothing against the series, total Twilight-saga-obsessee here, but that movie was awful. And if you haven’t read the books but saw the movie and are totally all squeal-giggle-OMG about it, you are *not* a true Twilight fan.
YES THANK YOU I WAS WAITING FOR EVANESCENCE
i was gonna add a comment but you beat me
YAY!!!!!! ^^
Go Waffles!
If I ever meet Robert Pattinson or the person who made most Paramore videos on Youtube have Twilight clips in them I will have to break my vow not to swear
And not because I’ll be like
Oh hes so bleep cute or something
Once again GO WAFFLES!
I am not much of a fan of them… I heard some of their songs without knowing who actually wrote the song and stuff and I hated the songs! EXTREME EPIC FAIL!!!!!!!
I agree, this photo is a win, Jonas Brothers, FAIL.
LizLemon, why say thing like their 8-14 year old fans cannot spell and don’t know what they’re talking about. I’m 14 and I know exactly what i’m talking about. And why is everyone so mean toward them, I think they’re awesome. It’s fine if you don’t but i’ve seen death threats, which is taking it a bit too far. But it isn’t the only music I like and assuming you know everything there is about a person based on their liking of one band is ridiculous.
When I was 12, I listened to Nirvana. When I was 14, I listened to the Doors. I guess that means I’m into older, dead men….still better than falling over THESE guys. Gods, they are sappier than Hanson, and that’s saying something!
yeah, more like 7 to 10 year olds. I’m 12 and I HATE all that disney crap.
the jonas brothers suck. Mostly everyone in my 7th grade class hates them. Their ok looks have deafened you into thinking that they are good. In reality, they sound like tonedeaf (which they r) ill, dumb, one-legged grandmas. O yeah….and dying cats.
OMG!!! I’m a tweenage girl and I absoloutley HATE miley cyrus, high school musical, and the jonas brothers. THEY ALL SUCK, CANT SING FOR THEIR LIVES AND ARE GONNA BE F**ING PEDDAPHILES BY THE TIME THEY’RE 50!!!
*pant*pant*
Oh, and BTW, classic rock/heavy metal is waaaaaaaaaay better than their stupid music.
You say pedophile like it’s a bad thing
i got my taste in music from my stepdad and i like to *think* that it’s good. old music, proper rock, meatloaf sort of thing. and i love bowie, like, to death! so i’m 14 and i DEFINITELY don’t like the jonas brothers. or twilight. lol
Wouldn’t having a group of 12 year olds as your fans make it HARDER to be abstinent? Just saying…
Agreed. If I had that group as fans, I’d be wearing them like a condom as soon as the show was over.
i adore and admire the jonas brothers for their choice to fully accept their faith. for those of you who call the jonas brothers words such as, “gay” know this, those who are fans of the jonas brothers will never be bothered by your immature comments. they are a band, and you do not know them. you can ‘hate’ them all you want, but it is truly a waste of your energy and time. i am 14 years old, and i am truly inspired by the jonas brothers. if you are someone who publicly expresses their hate for a band whose members they have never met, i pity you. i hope one day you learn to let go of your immaturity. and by the way, you just got told off by an eigth grader(:
i doubt it :]
i wonder how many people that are criticizing the jonas brothers have actually listened to their music. they aren’t my favorite, but they are decent. once you get past the whole disney thing (and they weren’t formed by disney, they were a group before disney, unless disney created some elaborate back story for them), they’re ok. hannah montana on the other hand…
When I was 12 I listened to such bands as Soilwork, In Flames & Katatonia (It makes such a great atmosphere, my all time fave Doom metal band). And I still do, even tho I’m the only one in whole school (yes, I’m 16) that has ever liked/likes metal, I’ve always stuck to it & let all the fads pass by.
I don’t really care for all these manufactured bands, nor anything that’s considered ‘cool’ at the time. I don’t watch TV, nor listen to radio, so I have no clue what’s ‘in’ now, and I feel good for it, ignorance is bliss
Sorry if my vocabulary is very repetitive, english isn’t my native language.
I’m not here to start an argument of any kind.
I realize that their target audience are girls ages 8-14 or so.Also, let’s face it, when it comes to the quality of the music, no, it’s not great by any means.
Lyrically, it’s a little ridiculous.
And yes, they are pop-puppets manufactured by Disney, which is how they got so huge.
There are so many other bands who are out there doing everything they can on their own, and who have much better music.
Knowing all of this, and realizing that The Jonas Brothers are just media puppets, I still listen to them.I’m 17.
Yes, I am slightly ashamed that I do, but I can’t deny that they’re a guilty pleasure of mine.
So is it really such an issue that someone over the age of 14 is listening to them?
We’ll all grow out of it at some point, obviously.
So who cares really, we all have our opinions.
I have friends who hate them.Doesn’t affect me, I just listen to them because they’re catchy songs and fun to listen to.Not for the quality.
Agreed.
well let me just say….. im in their range for fans…. and im a girl…… and i personally think they S-U-C-K but thats just me….
The Jonas Brothers give me slight rage >_> I’m a 14 year-old girl, and I’d sooner shove a lit firework in my mouth than listen to them…I suppose the people that like them are mostly the ones who still like Hannah Montana, Disney channel etc. (And I looked a few weeks ago, the Disney channel is NOT as good as what it used to be.)
LOL, rant over.
Wow, how immature to make fun of kids who have made something more out of there lives than any of you will… you are the true looser’s. Suck up the jealousy and grow some respect, jeez. Im fifteen and I know better… how old are you? I bet a lot older, its called maturity people! They are respecting their body’s and saving themselves for the ONE!!! Not like other people. these boys are very good role models, so pull the stick out and find someone your own age to harass.
I’m fifteen–sixteen next year– hate the JB’s. I hate ALL Disney channel. What happened to true talent? It’s not just their music that sucks, it’s their acting. It annoying and embarrassing! Their fans are embarrassing as well; they think that they have soooo much talent. No. Simon and Garfunkel, Blue October, Everclear, Band of Horses, Incubus, Frank Sinatra, The Killers, Ludovico Einaudi, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Yo-yo ma. Those are REAL artists.
AHahha, I was actually names after Simon and Garfunkel’s sing “Cecelia”
Yep. I am a hippeh. I like loose clothing that is conservative–don’t get me wrong, sure, showing off what you have from time to time is cool. Just wait until you are a little older and makes sure to not show TOO much so it doesn’t make you look like a whore….
I bet if Walt Disney came back from the dead, he’d take one look at what Disney has become, and be like “HOLY SH*T!!! TAKE ME BACK! TAKE ME BAAAAAAAAAAACKK!”
haha….lol…….:L…….
you do relise that their is a 15 year old girl whos pretty p.o.ed at you right now for saying this and I repeat 15
Hang on, clean living, happy kids preaching positive attitudes and abstinence and you lot have a problem with them as role models for your kids???????????????
You idiots are the problem here……
For you older bunch, how exactly are they different from the Monkeys? From what I understand te Jonas boys actually write some of their own songs, that actually makes them BETTER.
To vic-
hmm… one word you used yourself- preaching.
not everyone is christian.
So why don’t they do something else, rather than hurting many ears.
You say they write there own songs, and some of the songs they write (though generally the ones they write for other people -ie. Demi Lovato) are good. So why, why, why can’t they just be song writers/ actors (my friends say they were good in Camp Rock).
THESE GUYS ARE NOT VERY GOOD SINGERS.
I am so late, but I am a ‘tween’- yeah, you got me, I’m 12- and I know these guys are absolute rubbish. (Sorry for the randomly childish word; I don’t want to swear)
How can you be that jealous?
Okay, their childish look is because of Disney. Get over it. They’re people too, they are amazing human-beings and their music IS NOT ridiculous. Of course, album It’s All About Time is quite funny, but they were really young. Have you been listening to Nick Jonas & The Administration songs?
Nick is a good song-writer and some of the Jonas songs are gr8 as well.
I just don’t like when someone’s judging others, also JB. If you don’t like them, it’s okay, but SHUT THE F**K UP.
12 year olds in the states don’t know what clothes are.
In the US, we can show plurals without apostrophes!
lol, that would be the ones with “fashon sense”
the ones who dont care tend to ware actually *gasps* CLOTHES!
the ones with “fashon sense” dont.
the ones that dont care, actually can be caught wearing somthing that covers more than a bkini does.
Rofl.Give me skinny jeans any day
