Christ, the Jonas Brothers are on SNL tonight.
I'll bet it's like Superbowl Sunday at Midlo's house.

I will give them credit if they are 1) not lip synching; and 2) actually playing those instruments. However, they lose points with me because they still suck IMO.

2. I was very pleased
to learn that my 14-year-old stepson loathes them, as well as the girls his age who worship them. Good for him.

They are depriving some actual talented people out there a record contract. This is a mortal sin in my book.

Yup, my first exposure to them.

Hopefully my last.

Uck.

3. What's with
that little whine/grunt thing? Is that what Midlo likes about them? I'm at a loss. :hide:

That's the first time I've seen/heard them that I know of.

18. Fuck you. Hanson are/were VERY talented.
Disregard the 'fuck you' just a headline grabber.

I beg forgiveness.

But c'mon--no matter how much you may not like them--don't slag Hanson with that comparison.

Hanson is Dream Theater compared to Jonas Brothers.

9. I wonder
if she's tried to deliver Taco Bell to them?

I know, I'm pushin' my luck. She lives close enough to me that she could come kick my ass. But that would be better than getting on her dtm list.

24. Why do people hate these kids?
Edited on Sun Feb-15-09 12:51 AM by johnnie
It may not be my cup of tea, but they have some talent.

I think a lot of people on DU are just old or have a tin ear. Like the whining about American Idol and how they are just karaoke singers, there are some good singers that show up on that show.

Of course it is the same people who think that SNL hasn't been good since the first show. :eyes:

35. I like them. I think they're pretty talented, actually
and they seem like nice kids. Took BabyM to see them in September and the concert was pretty good.

36. Well I can't speak for anyone else, but for me
it's the holier-than-thou "purity ring" thing that they've made sure to show off to the media at every given opportunity. Ick.

26. I thought that the last song wasn't bad,
though whenever I've heard them before they've sucked. But I'm glad to see them doing well because I love rock and it seems that there isn't all that much rock on the radio, or the charts, any more. I'm just glad someone (even them) is getting kids liking/listening to rock again. From my observation, most young'uns are have been listening to hip hop (instead of rock) for a number of years now, and I cannot stand hip hop music. Long live rock!

32. Reminds me of the scene in the Jerky Boys movie...
...when they tell Ozzy Osbourne (playing the manager of Helmet) that the band's crew left to take jobs on tour with The Monkees.

He pauses for a moment, lets it sink in, and says "The f**king MONKEES?"

You had to be there, I guess.

I stand by my claim that they are more Cheap Trick-like on the new CD - but I like pop music more than many here. I see Jonas Brothers complaint threads every other day it seems.

44. That all depends on what you see as talent
I think Kelly Clarkson is talented, Aly & AJ talented, Michelle Branch talented, TV On The Radio talented.. it's subjective. I even think Katy Perry and Jonas Brothers have talent - they just need to break away next time a bit from the generic. I don't think Britney Spears is very talented, but she does a few irresistible songs.

45. I just learned that they're from Jersey.
I probably should display some sort of loyalty to them.





































































I can't do it. I just can't. THEY STILL SUCK.
