Jonas Brothers
Biography
One of the most popular teen-affiliated groups of the 2000s, the Jonas Brothers' craft hook-filled power pop anthems in the vein of McFly, Hanson, and the Modern Lovers. The young New Jersey natives (while readying their 2006 debut, brothers Joseph, Kevin, and Nicholas Jonas topped out at 16, 17, and 13, respectively) were reared in the city of Wyckoff under the tutelage of musical parents. Nicholas showed a particular flair for singing; by the age of seven, he'd already begun a modest career as a Broadway performer. The young performer also took an interest in songwriting, even co-writing a Christmas tune in 2002 alongside his father. Several years later, his soulful voice had wowed enough executives at Daylight/Columbia Records to warrant a solo album, and Nicholas began writing original material with help from his two brothers. The siblings' songs impressed the president of Columbia, who ultimately signed the trio in 2005.
The Jonas Brothers' full-length debut, It's About Time, was released in August 2006. Featuring the songwriting talents of Desmond Child and Fountains of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger, the album peaked at number 91 on the Billboard charts and earned the siblings a modest audience, particularly among fans of Radio Disney.
Selected Discography
I just went to camp and had to endure this crap being played over iPod speaker many more times than once. Why are they obsessed?

These guys are untalented munichs.. Least the ones in the church have better voices..
|
||
that's the point! >:) these guys aren't boys and Ville is more of a pretty boy in appearance than these wimps! O_o
|
||
...Bozu, they can't go LOW.....they don't have...well, never mind.
|
||
it's ok, sempai. and thanks for agreeing. :)
now I dare the Jonas Bros to go LOW! H.I.M. (Finland) - Kiss Of Dawn HA! these three boys can't beat Ville Valo! XP |
||
Awww...bad sample. You can't hear him singing in falsetto...
|
||
|
||
I don't mind male vocalists going high, but as long as they have the talent... these guys... no.
you know what music that makes me happy? loud, blasting rock with great beats, vocals, and lyrics to make it a masterpiece. a few bands can have great music, singing, and lyrics and pull it off very well, in my opinion. for me, Jonas Bros don't make the cut. |
||
I'll bet it was cliche. If I heard a Jo Bro's song come over the speakers I would immediately asked to be sedated so I wouldn't have to endure it. Ha ha.
How can anyone be happy when they listen to their music? That flabbergasts me. My ears would be burning from the abrasiveness of their unnaturally high voices and my mind would be aching for lyrics that aren't consisted of Disney fluff like rotten cotton candy, but lyrics that actually have meaning and dig deeper than the surface. |
||
while I was at the dentist's office Tuesday, they were playing the movie Meet the Robinson's or something like that... I had to endue a cheesy Jonas Brother's song they made for the movie called Kids of the Future. I thought, "please, even Good Charlotte or Green Day would come up with a better song than that!" the song was cliche beyond cliche. =_=
|
||
Wanna sing along and be happy?
The Rocket Summer The Maine Good happy rock.. There's actual talent and thought.. The jonas brothers don't know s**t about good music.. Get that through your thick skull |
||
They are the best. I love them. Their music makes you want to sing along and be happy!
|
||
Hollywood Undead - This Love, This Hate
nice rap-rock.. These guys actually know how to keep a beat :O |
||
H.I.M. (Finland) - Bleed Well
nowhere close to metal, but this song kicks A**! now THIS IS ROCK! XP |
||
Anata - Better Grieved Than Fooled
Now here's a melody :P something the Jonas Brothers know nothing about |
||
you are so mean! sempai! lol :P
but heck, that just shows how open I am. so I'm waiting for someone to call me an emo now. |
||
I know your spelling skills are rudimentary at best, Ms. Marissa, but you seem to have misspelled the word "suck"...it' s "s" and then "u". Not "r" then "o".
|
||
That's why we're here WILLIS2.. The Rocket Summer.. One talented guy.. So much more talented than these three f*gs who have the nerve to call themselves musicians..
|
||
Ugh, what is with all the girls obsessed with this band? They might try a REAL rock band for once...
|
||
UGH...I avoid folk music.
...admittedl y , RATM managed to cover a Bob Dylan song fantasticall y ! Rage Against The Machine - Maggies Farm |
||
I have listened to some alternative, punk (not screamo-emo stuff), gothic metal, symphonic metal, industrial metal (whatever Pain and Rammstein are), electronica (or whatever KMFDM and the Birthday Massacre are), rock. I have been to some concerts where the performers play FOLK MUSIC. I enjoy orchestrated music from movies and stuff. I give some pop artists mercy by enjoying one or two of their songs when i used to buy the "Now" CDs.
so, am I an emo? I think NOT. (ok, I'm done bragging now) |
||
*applauds to Kaiton and sempai*
THANK YOU!!!!!! |
||
artist that i think SUCK are
The Jonas Brothers Miley Cyrus Demi Lovato Katy Perry Taylor Swift and Metro Station |
||
i listen 2 all kinds of music.
Rock Alternative Punk Electronica Trance House R'n'B Hip-Hop Contemperary and i listen to REAL artist.not this sorry excuse 4 music.this is just pure CRAP. |
||
Oh, I'm still a metalhead, trust me. I simply like some other stuff outside of metal.
Besides, most people consider Grunge to be a sub-genre of metal. |
||
hey everyone just repeating my awesome joke from two days ago that got a lot of good feedback if you didn't hear it yet.
Q: Why did the Jonas Brothers parents have four kids? A: Because they kept trying to have a boy!!! |
||
You're right Schweinwerfe r - K o h a i , not everyone joining the crusades listens to metal, or is metalhead as you put it.
For example, I predominatel y listen to country music from the 90's and traditional country music. FAR remove from metal, but still I find a way to join in the cruscade against the Jonass Bros. Keep up the fight guys! |
||
In addition to this, I listen to much softer music. I listen to classical, the Beatles, and even opera. We simply wish to point out to you, that music is a virtually limitless ocean of beautiful sound that can offer wisdom, incite any emotion from anger to sadness to love. There is so much more than the Jonas Brothers. You need only open your mind to it. You will look on your former self with disdain if you do.
|
||
Thank you once again Mr. Liao. Your wisdom never ceases! ^_^
Sue-Ann, referring to metal as "emo" is, in itself, an oxymoron. I also might add, that not everyone here against the Jonas Bots is a metalhead. I predominantl y listen to Grunge, preferring the primal sounds as opposed to the clear-cut metal sound. |
||
By the way I never enjoy a second of the jonas sisters.. They're a bunch of untalented f*gs..
Oh and by the way "emo" is screamo punk not f**king metal.. Metal is for men.. Metal is for people who have good taste.. Metal takes skill and time to make.. To untrained ears it sounds like noise. But to people who have a good sense of music they can sense the complicated beats and the melody of metal.. So don't go spouting around metal is garbage because really these jonas fucktards are garbage.. |
||
We don't listen to them on purpose you idiot.. We're force fed this garbage and we want people like you to listen to more variety..
Also don't you f**king dare call metal emo. If you think metal is emo then you're one ignorant dumbfuck that talks about this s**t as if you know exactly what it is.. But what did I expect from a jonas brothers fan.. They're ALL basically misinformed ignorant retards.. |
||
Losers!! If you don't like the jonas brothers then don't listen to them idiots. Plain and simple! You really need a life. You don't see an JoBro fans commenting on your horrible emo metal s**t! so how about you stop cutting yourself and go get a life b/c secretly you know that you like them! that's why you are commenting them right? Idiots...
|

Well, Phoenix, I didn't mean that all mainstream stuff is bad, I actually meant that with lots of marketing and little talent, Americans will love you.
