After watching the Jonas Brothers perform during halftime at the Thanksgiving Day Cowboys game yesterday, I wanted to look around and see if I could find any commentary about their performance. Besides the usual plain vanilla news blurbs, I found a guy who had a similar opinion to my own:http://kezins.com/2008/11/jonas-brothers-ruin-thanksgiving/6687
I have to agree with the poster when he says that they didn't sound good during the halftime performance. I don't really want to make general statements about their fans besides the one fact that mostly everyone would agree on, and that is that the majority of their fans are young girls. I will also predict that most of them will look back at when they were fans of the Jonas Brothers and laugh at themselves, much as women of my age look back at the boy bands they liked in their teens and laugh.
I am sure it is my age that makes me laugh at the antics of these boy bands and wonder at the lack of talent. Only time will tell. Remember, William Penn once said, "Wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it and right is right, even if everyone is against it." 5 million screaming female teenagers doesn't make the Jonas brothers talented, it just makes them popular. Nobody is disputing whether they are "good guys" there are plenty of good guys out there that can't sing a lick. The good news is, the Jonas brothers will most likely get better, so there is a slim chance that one of them will become the next Sting, or the next Billy Joel of this teenybopper generation. As far as being good guys, I am kind of glad that it is not too out of style for a musical performer to have a "decent" image, since I have a daughter of my own...
All that being said, I did find myself cringing while I listened to Demi Lovato (who?!!!) sing my National Anthem before the game, and once again during the Jonas brothers' HT performance. It is probably a good thing that they don't usually show the halftime stuff on TV, there's only so much dog catching a frisbee though a hoop that you want to see anyway...
