Is it wrong that I’ve never come across any of their music before, or is it just some strange vehicle for Disney to scrounge about for some money?

How timely. A few minutes ago, I just about tossed my cookies when an Oprah advert came on. Guess who tomorrow's guests are -- in addition to that midget family from Little People, Big World.

@NeverEnough: Haven't heard them either and I'm quite happy to keep it that way. Life is too short to listen to shitty music.

@Nunya B: That'll do it.

The only person in rock (well, more like "pop-rock") that should be allowed to have sideburns, and look good with them would be Patrick Stump.

Now, I'm going to hide before I get rotten tomatoes thrown at me...

Oh, and btw, Maura - totally agree on the post here, in general. Nicely done!

Still, JB4EVA and whatnot.

@NeverEnough: @Nunya B: There is nothing wrong with this love, but please...tone it down when you are speaking of my (almost 19 year old!) Pentecostal imaginary boyfriend. (see icon) I am a secular humanist but we're working it out. 0_o

Oh, and plus...Nick IS the most musical. Joe is the sweetest and smartest/most offbeat. Trust.

@drinkypuss: Disagree.

Nick is The One and only if you are 15 or younger, with a few older stragglers. Joe is The One if you are 16 to 90.

My 60-some mother can't stand Nick, she finds him "unctuous", and she thinks Joe is the only one the public will keep wanting.

I have no idea. But I am 28 and Joe is my favorite.

@Nicolars: Totally agreed. He looks like, um, he could be a member of Syndrome of the Downs.

@NeverEnough: I can't believe I'm even discussing anything JoBro related but you're right, Joe is the only attractive one. Nick looks like a potato farmer.

@GhostOfDuane: Look, i hear you. There is absolutely no one in my circle of friends who i can even approach this debate with, save my sister and a friend who works for Island/Def Jam.

@NeverEnough: Joe's legal! We're not disgusting. At least not in the eyes of the law.

Chris Hansen is creepin' on anyone who wants to sex Nick, though, as he's FIFTEEN.

@Nunya B: As creepy as it is for a 34 year old woman to say it, Joe is hot in a might-be-worth-the-jailtime kinda way. (Are you reading this, Joe? I have my own car and will buy you beer.)

@GhostOfDuane:
I was about to post a picture of Chris Hansen offering you a seat when I noticed that I now have a star! Thank you, Powers That Be!

@GhostOfDuane: It is not about Joe (even though he is the cutest one. Call me, dear!). Nick is the "songwriter", the one who sings and plays, and Joe just gets a tambourine to play with on stage. The fans in my corner of the Internet vehemently and overwhelmingly prefer Nick as he's the one who is supposed to be the most talented and intelligent of the three.

POOR KEVIN he gets no love. That's because he has ugly sideburns.

@drinkypuss: As someone way too in touch with the attitudes of the Jonas fan base (is that Chris Hansen I see standing on my lawn?), it really is Joe's world; the rest of us are just livin' in it.

@drinkypuss: Not to mention, they have the same manager as NSYNC (Johnny Wright), so you can bet that he's looking forward into the future to creating the next Justin.

As for the rest, the only song I like from them is Year 3000, about their neighbor building a time machine that goes into the future. And then I discovered that it's actually a cover of a song from the UK group Busted, and the Busted version is funnier and better. Jonas Bros also cover Busted's song 'That's What I Go to School For', changing it from a song about being hot for a 30-something cat lady teacher who enjoys spanking boys with rulers to a song about having a crush on some random girl.

LAMECAKES.
