Jonas Brothers (by Jonas Brothers, Pop)

common sense media says

Good, clean pop-punk from nice-guy trio.


parents & educators say

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.

Positive 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.
Violence: Not applicable.
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 applicable.
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 applicable.

More on Jonas Brothers

What to talk about

Talk to your kids

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?

What's the story?

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?

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.

Terrible
Are you KIDDING me? The Jonas Brothers are the worst band of all time and they've turned everyone from the ages 3+ into little Jonas obsessers! "Joe is SO hawt!" "Nick's mine!" "I luuuuuuuuuv Kevin!" I mean, COME ON! GET A LIFE PPL!!!!!

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...

Jonas Brothers suck
Don't let your kids listen to this garbage. Let them listen to the good stuff like 2 Pac, Eminem, Biggie Smalls, Snoop Dog, Korn and Marilyn Manson. Especially Marilyn Manson. Tell your little girls, not to listen to the Jonas Brothers and get good jobs and go to college to support their families. Go ahead and get ripped girls. Don't listen to common sense they suck.

feel-good, happy music
Their music is catchy, clean, has good messages, and they are all pretty talented. It is slightly ridiculous when girls obsess, but you shouldn't judge them by the way their fans act.

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!

I'm sorry, I can't see the attraction
I'm sorry, but I'm not the biggest fan, I question why kids are so obsessed, its not healthy for little kids to obsess over a boyband that sings about relationships. Kids aren't being kids anymore because of this stuff. A lot of people just like them because they're "hot" which I find rediculous. I'm tired of hearing 10 year olds going "OMG Nick is sooooo hot!" Oy people, what ever happened to cartoons and action movies? Sure it has 'appropreate' messages (sorta) but that doesn't make it good music. Disney is just using them to get money, one of the ladies that work there admitted it! Everytime I switch to Disney channel I see them with gutairs 'rocking out' They already have a show that shows them getting chased by girls, does nobody see anything wrong with this? To tell the truth the music sounds like they're singing at the edge of their throats like they have a sore throat, and they're off key a lot in other songs. And you should hear them singing the National Anthem.. eek. They always sound like they're out of breath. And the lyrics are sappy. I don't hate them, but they sure aren't my favs.

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.

 
Perfect for anyone
I love the Jonas Brothers. There music is awesome and everyone can listen to it.

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.

Jonas brothers rock!
Mentions Star wars and Kelly clarkson.

 
Great group!
The Jonas Brothers are a great group for kids of all ages, even my age or older! The group never sings about anything above a G rating. They're squeeky clean. I do want to mention that on the right side of the page in the 'Social Behavior' box, the lyrics are wrong. "Next time I see you I'm giving you a high five/'Cause HUGS (not scars) are overrated just FYI"

Crappy album for
Jonas Brothers are the worst band in the world. They are simply not talented, AT ALL. Although this album is perfectly kid appropriate, it sucks. Trust me, it just sucks. Basically, all of the fans are teenage girls and they only like it because they are so attractive. This band is not healthy for your teenager, trust me on that. :)
