Although I wouldn’t go as far as John Cole, I too was exposed to the Jonas Brothers yesterday and, having never heard them before, I was surprised at how utterly crapulent they were. Usually these pre-packaged nonthreatening teeny-pop acts exhibit a bare minimum of talent, but these guys were plain awful. Then again, I’ve been listening to Hollywood Undead for the past few days and they make Limp Bizkit sound like Steely Dan, so what do I know?
Hopefully one of the Jonas brothers will move into Pete Doherty territory soon so at least they’ll be interesting in that special multi-car pileup way that we all secretly love.

Disneybots all three of them.
And remember,Lindsey Lohan got her start at Disney. Look how well she ended up!
The convergence of teenage music taste with quality is a rarity which owes its existence to one of two things:
1) Parental influence; or
2) A massive influx of quality product into the marketplace combined with a relative dearth of crap.
Such has it always been.
I missed them, and being well beyond their age demographic, I don’t have much to say about the Jonas Brothers.
However, another Disneybot, Demi Lovato, absolutely murdered the national anthem beforehand.
You know what I really hate about them? Not only do they suck, but now my son has to go through life with every girl he meets asking him “Were you named after the Jonas Brothers?”
Let their fifteen minutes be swift, please.
I had the misfortune of hearing both. We laughed at Demi Lovato’s Woody Woodpecker-a-like sound.
For some reason, that melismatic effluent gets eaten up by today’s A&R men.
Yes, but then is anybody anymore?
I switched to Arrested Development during the half time show.
My daughter is 10 years old. One of the proudest days of my life was when she told me (unsolicited) that she not only could not stand the Jonas Brothers, but also the spawn of Billy Ray Jim Bob Bubba Gump Cyrus.
If I could only get her to try Yo La Tengo.
Oh, but they are Christian and have promised to stay virgins until marriage, so that make them cool, right…uh….right?
TBogg, the real question is HOW did you get “exposed” to the Jonas Bros?
I have managed to avoid such “exposure,” as well as exposure to typhoid.
My fifteen ear old niece cruised through the room when the Jonas Brothers were on and remarked, “They suck.” I was so proud.
The hubby, a musician, wanted to know what the hell they were doing at a football game anyway.
My mom remarks quietly, “aren’t those the abstinence assholes?”
Great fun.
What I was thinking during the performance:
“The Jonas Brothers, when the Backstreet Boys are too much!”
OMFG, was that the name of the stupid fucks at half time?
I tried it without the sound on and found that even to embarrassing to watch. I mean, seriously, fucking embarrassing. All involved need to just go away.
cebm: cheers to your family!
I’d start taking bets on which one will be caught being blown by a tranny hooker first, if I could tell them apart.
This makes me glad I missed whatever sporting event this was.
I think Britney Spears promised that back when she was a Disney-droid, too
Start her on Gnarls Barkley and work backwards from there.
This is where bad music starts, in the cradle, the world was a safer place back when everybody’s first exposure to music was the Beatles (white folks anyway). They still have effective inoculative properties. Buy your niece/nephew The Yellow Submarine as soon as you can.
