What parents need to know
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.
What's the story?
The JONAS BROTHERS, a delightful young trio from New Jersey, are here to knock your socks off with their sophomore CD. It includes 14 well-delivered, mostly up-tempo (though a couple of ballads slide in and work pretty darn well) pop confections. The CD also offers a solid bonus with the new CDVU+ format, which includes photos, song lyrics, and video clips that are playable on any computer.
Is it any good?
Lyrics are carefully innocuous, dealing mostly with the roller-coaster ride of middle-school romance. Performances are energetic and effective, featuring silky-smooth vocals and some excellent guitar work. Mostly, what comes across is a sense of fun and a sweet collective personality with just enough of an edge to make these guys seem like terrific eighth-grade boyfriend material.
What 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?

Jonas Brothers
The music is appropriate for all ages, but music like this is becoming common and way to overrated. I can understand why todays youth sees this band as good role models for their possitive messages they use in their lyrics, especially in these dark times we are facing, but this just isnt music to my ears. And no its not because im a headbanger who finds kiddy bands as "anti-cool". I just think their there overblown and if I could be so blunt, sexual manipulatives, even if they dont mean to be. The purity rings doesn't really help the fact that girls ranging from age 5-12 are googly gaga over their bodies and wants a peice of all 3. If you get my drift...

2-4 year olds
Are you kidding me?? THEE WORST BAND OF ALL TIME. My opinion. Their music has turned little 2-7 year old girls into monsters. Just look at Youtube. They go around EVERYWHERE making up these phrases "Love, Peace, Jonas" and talk like they are mental. "Jonas Brothers R soo HAWT, Nick is awl MINE!!!1112" Jonas Brothers NEED to come to an end. At least we still have Metallica, Iron Maiden, and AC/DC around to play awesome music.

Ugh...
If you're over 5 years old & you listen to this... God help me. It's not real music. It's Disney Channel. It's for LITTLE KIDS who haven't yet discovered real music. If you're a day older than 5 years old, PLEASE! Listen to something at least SEMI good! Thanks!

Appropriate, Clean Lyrics- Nearly all Ages
While I am not a personal fan of the Jonas Brothers, I have heard many of their songs. They're messages are relatively positive/appropriate for all ages. Some of their songs have lyrics that could be found inappropriate for younger children.

Eh.....
Well, to keep my feelings brief I can say I'm not a huge fan of their music, although some rare songs are good. I'm not quite sure what all of the obsessive love is about though. Of course we're all different, but still. But I think its rediculous that they have at least 3 or 4 shows on Disney Channel (or as I call DC, Tween MTV) Like they have 'Livin' the Dream' 'Jonas' 'Jonas L.A.' and this other one I forget. It just seems like a money profet to me. Nothing agents those that do like them, but their obsession worries me. I mean these are little kids that are inlove with these guys, what happened to cartoons? But its their choice..and I dont have kids offically so, what do I know? And I'm glad for the Jo Bro's sucess, just hope they keep their sanity. By the way Kevin's my favorite because he has more character.
