A Little Bit Longer

Common Sense Media says

QUALITY
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that there's nothing to worry about when it comes to the Jonas Brothers' music and your kids...unless, of course, you have daughters who like to squeal a lot. There's a lot of talk about fallen relationships or love gone wrong, but nothing more than puppy love. The song "A Little Bit Longer" is a personal ballad about brother Nick's struggle with diabetes.
What's the story?
A LITTLE BIT LONGER is the third studio album for teen-trio hotties the Jonas Brothers. Nick, Joe, and Kevin strut their usual sugar-coated punk rock, with a line-up of tracks full of their JB-brand of layered, expressive vocals, catchy guitar riffs, and lyrics about relationships that you'll want to sing along to.
Is it any good?
This CD continues the success of the lovely-locked lads with the same upbeat, urgent pop-rock that has already romanced the Disney Channel audience. With confident and still-young-enough-to-hit-insane-notes vocals and catchy chord progressions, the JoBros keep tweens across the country pumped. "Burnin' Up" is a slick twist on their rock style, while the rockin' love ballad "Shelf" will have fans singing, "La la la la" -- reminiscent of another popular mop-haired band from a different decade. And speaking of bugs, "Lovebug" will make tween hearts go aflutter with quirky acoustic guitar and charismatic vocals. The dramatic declaration on "Sorry" will have hearts sighing, "You had me at 'I'm soooory'," and "Video Girl," which pokes fun at fake girls, will have minds thinking. With a Disney movie, upcoming TV series, and third album under their tight belts, the JoBros keep giving their fans just what they ordered -- a little bit more of Nick, Kevin, and Joe.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about the Disney powerhouse and the never-ending halo of success that seems to surround all the artists it backs, from Miley to the Jonas Brothers. Why are these groups so appealing? Would they be as successful if they weren't a part of the Disney mania? Do you think artists like the Jonas Brothers have lasting talent, or are they just a flavor-of-the-month? Why, or why not?

Alright
Nice music. Though, sometimes I think The Jonas Brothers are squeking the words instead of singing.

Oh puh-leez!
It's a great soundtrack. It doesn't matter if you like it or not, but you don't need to push it to the limit. First thing, the sound's great. It's not that you think it's boring. You need to look deeper. Besides, miley1997 ( or whoever that person was ) you don't have to go, " OMG I LIKE, HEARD THAT THEY WERE SAYING THE A-WORD" either you are a hater, you want people to pay attention to you, or you need a hearing aid. Firstly, that so-called A-word isn't what you think it is. People, the word is "as", A-S, not A- double S. Besides, use your common sense. The A-word wouldn't even fit into that sentence. It's quite ironic that an adult would make that mistake, yet a 10 year old could figure that out. (I don't know why it says I'm 11) As for the " I'M SERIES! LIKE,OMG!! THEY WERE DRINKING BEER ON THE SET" , sure, kids exposed to alchol isn't good, but in case you haven't noticed, it was ON THE SET. That piece of info was irrelevant and has nothing to do with the Jonas Brothers. Another thing, you do not need to spam the review board, thank you very much. Anyways, let me stop rambling on about that.
Anyways, I'm not a personal fan of the Jo Bros, but they are pretty talented.

another great JB cd-not a huge shocker :P
Another great JB cd, not a huge shocker. it's squeaky clean, listen to it with your 'rents and younger siblings clean. as a fellow teen type 1 diabetic like Nick, the title track is something that i've longer for for years and has me in tears every time. Nick perfectly captures the pain and feelings of lose that so many of us have. great role models for kids everywhere, superb cd and a HUGE encouragement for those of us that live with D every day. parents, you can't do any better than the JoBros.

Terrible music!
Sure, they play their instruments decently, but they CANNOT SING. Please people, stop buying this garbage. It is just bad, corny, and unpleasant music. Overall, the Jonas Brothers are just a really bad band, and don't deserve the fame.
(I have nothing against the Jonas Brothers themselves, as they are very nice guys, who are good role models, I just think they can't make music)
