@ObtuseIntolerant: They are called "Google News Alerts".

I've no doubt they are.

I’m sure the oldest Hanson brother (Chelsea Clinton doppelganger) probably went through the same thing, only on a much smaller scale since the Internet wasn’t the beast it is today.

Are there really varying shades of hotness / talent between these three? Could he not be as Jonas-y because, well, he is 20 and a bit more “mature” and Nesmith-y? Am I turning into my mother?

@pr0FF3ss0r_j3rkwh3at:

Add some puff to those cheeks [no homo] and he's also a dead ringer for John Popper, no?

[Please don't come after me or my blog Jonas Brothers fans. I'm just having a laugh...]

@spinachdip:

I said it once and I'll say it again:

"I swear to God man. The Jonas Bros are like David Archuleta when it comes to internet chatter. Do a piece on them or simply mention them in passing and BAM! Jonas Bros. fans are on it like white on rice, there to nod in agreement, disagree with you vehemently [though it can be argued that this is the only way people tend to comment on things on the internet, so really let's not act too surprised], or correct the facts you got wrong. Watch out Mikael, they're on to you..."

@ObtuseIntolerant: They are called "Google News Alerts".

One of the great joys of the late Status Ain't Hood was when Breihan would write about American Idol and like clockwork, a gaggle of Archuleta fans would descent upon villagevoice.com and talk about his voice, his sweetness, how he's going to be a big star, etc. And Tom knew what he was doing too, not forgetting to include ''"David Archuleta is boring and he sucks and I hate him."''

@Ned Raggett: Tsk,no. They are called "Google News Alerts". If someone sneezes "Jonas" in Singapore, we fans hear about it. Many fans get them, and some who do post them to blogs...and the rest is history. Get with the program please.

@RaptorAvatar: I sure they omitted. I know a lot of grown up and quite bright Jonas Brothers fans. They don't act like psychos, normally...in full public view. It's youth commenter culture...they have no concept of who they are talking to, and how it should be done. It's unfortunate that there are large swaths of this fanbase that behave and spell this way but...they tend to be the children, so, what can you do? It makes for funs.

@Nunya B: The posts usually DO come up...but the kids get a little confused by the snark and flee. Reviews and such are much fairer game.

Maybe because, to be fair, music criticism should perhaps not contain the snarky little (when baseless) swipes which are acceptable on blogs?
