Why We Rated This on for Ages 8 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Lyrics like "Next time I see you I'm giving you a high five/'Cause scars are overrated just FYI" in a break-up song promote a nice-guy image, consistent throughout.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    A lot of swoon-worthy romance ("I catch a glimpse of heaven/I find my paradise/When you look me in the eyes") with nothing more explicit than "hold you through the night."
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    The CDVU+ format allows a lot of room for product placement, but the Jonas Brothers are refreshingly restrained. There are a lot of fan-club type goodies in store for those who buy the CD.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Jonas Brothers

Parents need to know that this appealing, energetic, tween-friendly CD is from a trio of cute young heartthrobs who are in heavy rotation on Radio Disney (and have also toured with Hannah Montana). Content-wise, there's not much to object to -- the romance is innocent and the lyrics are clean. The band's cuteness factor is played up with the first-ever enhanced CDVU+ format, which boasts photos, videos, lyrics, and an interactive poster -- all accessible on any computer.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about why the Jonas Brothers are so popular. How does Disney promote its stars? Also, how does a band's image help or hurt their popularity? Do you think the Jonas Brothers' good looks enhance their fame, or would you like their music no matter what they looked like? Families can also talk about the new CDVU+ (pronounced "view plus") format. Do you like having all the extra bells and whistles, or do you just care about the music?

      Their a good band.

      Jonas Brothers is a band approiate for all ages. I love their music and they can't help it if girls like them. The lyrics are clean without any cussing. I think the Jonas Brothers are a cool band. Most guys are jealous of the Jonas Brothers because girls like them a lot. Well some guys should grow up.

      JONAS BROTHERS ARE COOL!!

      I'd rate their music 5+. In their song Video Girl, the word 'Suck' in it.
