The Jonas Brothers?
I'm going to use this space to rant about my latest issue. I'll start out by saying that this is coming from a girl who used to be completely in love with the Jonas Brothers. Lately, though, they've been getting on my nerves. It all started last October when the Joe/Taylor fiasco occured. I remember immediately choosing Joe's side. Near the beginning of November, around the oldest Jonas, Kevin's, birthday, I decided to write to them on Myspace. Fan-girlish, I know. But it wasn't like all their other messages from their fans. No, I actually (dare I say it), criticized them a little. But it was only out of concern.
I'm looking at it right now, seeing as I saved it, and I'm literally laughing at some of the things I said. I'm not going to copy and paste the whole thing, seeing as it is pretty long and for the interest of time, I don't think it's necessary. But here's a few highlights:
This brings us to my next topic: Miley/Selena/Taylor etc. I’m not going to go on and on about it, but I’ll say this:
Nick and Miley - WOW. It sure has been a roller coaster ride, eh? :P I’ve been reading up on you guys (out of curiosity, not to sound weird), and I’ve realized that I’ve never seen Nick smile as much as he has when he was with Miley. Young love. Sure is great, huh? :P But if you guys broke up, I’m sure there was a valid reason. One that I’ll never know, nor want to know. And as much as it kills me to admit it, I actually hated Miley for awhile, something I majorly regret. Because hate is one of the two strongest words, the other being love, and no one deserves it. I’ve grown up and come to realize that she’s human, just like all of us, and she makes mistakes. It must be hard living in the limelight. Every mistake being cast all over the world. And Nick? I’m extremely proud of you for sticking behind her through all of this.
Nick and Selena - I’m still kind of iffy if you guys ever even went out, but I’ll just say that she’s an amazing person :D
Joe and Taylor - I feel bad that the breakup is getting this much attention. Seriously, I do. I was actually mad at both of you. You, Joe, for breaking up with her over the phone (although you may have a valid reason) and jumping back so fast (which I’ll talk about later). And Taylor for making that video with the dolls (although I have to admit I thought it was funny at first) and talking about it to Ellen and such. But I’m pretty much over it. After all, we’re all human. It happens all the time, it just seems bad because you both are celebrities. We just need to get over it and move on.
Now, to the Joe and Camilla issue. Joe? Honestly, as a true fan, I’m a little disappointed in you. Only one month after you break up with Taylor, you (or somebody) invite Camilla to come to Mexico for Kevin’s 21st. It seems to me that you want a rebound. But that’s kind of harsh. For all I know you two could have been friends before or during you relationship with Taylor, and decided that you had feelings for each other after the break up. Or, for as much as I know, you two could not even be going out. But I have to say this: Joe? I 100% believe that you didn’t cheat on Taylor nor would you cheat on any of your girlfriends.
And this might hurt a little, so I’m sorry in advance. But Joe? And quite possibly Nick? I think the fame is getting to your head. You’ve realized that girls will fall at your feet and I believe you’ve started to take advantage of that. I’m not saying this to be mean, but to tell you that I’m worried. Worried that you guys are heading the wrong way. Nick? You’re 16, in high school, with all these pressures of being a teenager. And I can’t imagine how hard it is to be around all these beautiful and talented teenage girls all the time :P I just hope that you’re not getting too worked up about this. Joe? You’re 19, fresh (or kind of) out of high school. It’s a hard age. Trying to figure out where you want to go with your life and whatnot. All the pressures that are being put on you. And I’ve taken classes in school and it’s proven that the middle children (which in the whole family could mean Nick too) have the hardest time trying to adjust to life. Kevin? I think you’re old enough to realize this and that’s why I don’t believe it’s happening to you. But as Nick says, you’re the glue that holds you all together. Another reason why you need to stay strong.
That was in November, and the Jaylor (pardon the nickname) issue is still going strong. Taylor needs to just drop it, you know? Anyway, I firmly believe what I wrote in that message. And now I feel that Nick is even worse than Joe when it comes to dealing with the fame. In all honesty, I think that Nick, as well as Joe, is letting it all get to his head. He realizes that girls all over the world are falling for him and I think he likes it. I don't think he's one to cheat, nor do I think any of them are, but I'm worried. For him. Even if that sounds weird, I'm still (at least somewhat of) a fan and I want the best for them. But I think they're headed in the wrong direction.
I haven't heard their new album yet, so I can't say any of this for myself, but I've talked to avid Jonas fans and most of them are very disappointed. One of my friends said that she listened to all of the songs and only one of them was good. Sure, that's just her opinion, but I've heard a few songs and I didn't really like them either. And my good friend Mandie said that only Nick sings in all the songs. This saddens me to no end, because, honestly, Joe was my favorite when it came to their singing voices. I told my mom this and she said, quote, "What happened to the Jonas Brothers? It's like the band is now called the Nick Jonas Band or something." And I agree, at least somewhat. What ever happened to 'we're brothers and we're all equal'? I think the media has something to do with it. What do you see in the media when it comes to JB? Nick this, Nick that, with Joe in there somewhere. And Kevin's pushed to the back. Now, I may be biased, seeing how Kevin's my favorite, but I don't think it's fair.
WOW. I just realized how off-topic I keep getting. AHAHA! Oh, well.
Anyway, last thing, I promise! I was in the car on Thursday night on my way to go see Wicked and I brought along the Jonas Brothers self-titled second album. I've thought this for awhile, and my mom agrees with me, but I think that that was their best CD. And now they're just kind of going downhill. I know they're growing up and they've always said that they want their fans to grow with them, but a lot of my Jonas loving friends who are around my age, and I myself for that matter, are having our love for them fade away, slowly but surely. I never thought the day would come to me, but it is.
I'll always hold a special place in my heart for those three Jersey boys, but I think this era of my life is coming to an end.
PLEASE NO BASHING!
This is my thoughts and I don't want any rudeness about what I think or about the Jonas Brothers.
Thank you!

I love these boys no matter WHAT happens. I know I'm always going to have someplace special for them in my heart, no matter how they act, what songs they make or anything. But I completely agree with you.
I'm disppointed, but I'm still holding onto them.
That's the least I can do after all the hope and love they have given me.
(:

it's sad.
i ... love them, really. i do. but ... gosh, nick is really getting me worried about them.
i mean, miley? c'mon, nick, use your head. you've been acting so conceited [like katelyn said] and ugh ...
yeah, i am losing respect for them.
and, i think, like you, i'll be growing out of them soon.
the whole 'niley' thing [where justin was suddenly out of the picture because nick "wanted to get with miley so badly" and miley dumped him] really just got me mad.
i miss the old days; i miss the nelena days as well.
i guess that sooner or later i just won't miss them anymore.
and it's sad.

You seriously summed up everything I was thinking about them for the past month., it's driving me crazy seeing them like this! Honestly, I dislike it strongly. Why can't they go back to the boys they were before they started off as a band? You know. *Sigh* It's hard to believe that they're going 'off the face of the earth' in a matter of months. Or so I think. And I agree with you and your mom, that was their best album.
