Topic: Why Aren't the Jonas' Connecting?

Gag. What's wrong with the vehicles Disney is creating for the Jonas kids? Why aren't they connecting with the audience? One reason might be that no matter how popular the JoBro are, their movies and TV show are recycled ideas. First comes the Hannah Montana concert, then out comes one for the Jonas'. Miley has a TV show about her secret life as a rock star. Now, so do the Jonas'. Isn't this a little stale?

Much better than Hannah Montana the TV show. Recycled yes (from the Monkees), but I never watched the Monkees so it was all new to me. I hope it does catch on. They seem like good guys and I'd hate to see them crash and burn this fast. Doobie.

They're just not that good. I don't think there's a singer among them. Now, granted, that fact hasn't stopped bands in the past from some success, but most bands who have long-term success are good. Or at least they can sing.

But as teen stars like Hannah Montana, Selena Gomez, Demi Lavato, etc. I think they're pretty good and their TV show is fun so I'm just surprised they're not doing better at that right now. But that's a very fickle audience! Doobie.

They booked a bigger venue than Miley played when she came here a couple of years ago. The floor tickets are extremely expensive...approximately $96 BEFORE surcharges. Miley's ticket weren't that expensive, either. (Green Day is starting a new tour and their tickets are only approximately $50. I just bought tickets to see Pink for $40. No Doubt tickets were $94-which I also balked at paying but at least it included the fees.) I was floored when I saw how much they were charging. Ridiculous! Also, when I saw the JoBro open up for Miley, Joe's ego was so palpable that I literally found myself laughing out loud at him. He struck me and my friends as a kid on the fast track to rehab. I should point out that I think the JoBro show here is sold out here. Amazing what
