"The Jonas Brothers are a plague of Biblical proportions: their songs are on the radio, their tv show is a hit, their tours sell out to hysterical crowds of screaming girls and their film, in which they act, sing and get screamed at, was a box office and DVD smash.
What makes this plague so worrying is not only the rate at which it has infected girls around the globe, but also how little of substance is involved. The Brothers are nice, clean, pious and terribly, terribly innocuous in word, music and deed.
Perhaps it is better for the youth of today to idolise these smiling blanks rather than former-sex-symbol-and-now-bald-wreck Britney Spears, but is fantasising about people this passionless really something we want to encourage?
A plague of dull niceness may not be threatening, but it is a terrible thing to wish upon our teenagers. Whatever happened to the dream of rock'n'roll?"

So what do you think about this band?
