One reason might be that no matter how popular the JoBro are, their movies and TV show are recycled ideas. First comes the Hannah Montana concert, then out comes one for the Jonas'. Miley has a TV show about her secret life as a rock star. Now, so do the Jonas'. Isn't this a little stale?
Originally Posted By Doobie I was very disappointed with the Jonas film and really like the Hannah Montana concert movie and her recent fiction movie so I had really low hopes for the Jonas TV show but I found it hilarious. Much better than Hannah Montana the TV show. Recycled yes (from the Monkees), but I never watched the Monkees so it was all new to me. I hope it does catch on. They seem like good guys and I'd hate to see them crash and burn this fast. Doobie.

Or at least they can sing.
Originally Posted By Doobie I don't disagree that they're not that good as a band. But as teen stars like Hannah Montana, Selena Gomez, Demi Lavato, etc. I think they're pretty good and their TV show is fun so I'm just surprised they're not doing better at that right now. But that's a very fickle audience! Doobie.

Miley's ticket weren't that expensive, either. (Green Day is starting a new tour and their tickets are only approximately $50. I just bought tickets to see Pink for $40. No Doubt tickets were $94-which I also balked at paying but at least it included the fees.) I was floored when I saw how much they were charging. Ridiculous! Also, when I saw the JoBro open up for Miley, Joe's ego was so palpable that I literally found myself laughing out loud at him. He struck me and my friends as a kid on the fast track to rehab. I should point out that I think the JoBro show here is sold out here. Amazing what
Originally Posted By mele Oops, made another mistake (note to self: stop posting in the middle of the night!). I guess their tickets were $30-$90 before Ticketmaster surcharges.

Originally Posted By magnet Wow, that's pretty interesting about how quickly the passion came and then faded for the JoBro. Have they had any really memorable songs since the Year 3000? I've heard some of their songs, and none have anything memorable in them for me. Year 3000 is the last one I can remember getting stuck in my head. Boy groups also have a tendency to sing love-sick type songs that are really syrupy and corny. When the menu of songs is full of these cheese balls, then things really start to go downhill. There needs to be some greater diversity of topics, which seems to be more the case with Miley. "The climb" is a good example of a nice song about something other than being sick in love with someone.

Very popular phrase...back in the day
Originally Posted By utahjosh After the craziness for Miley/Hannaa and HSM, I thought the JoBros would capture that same frenzy. Here in Utah, Miley Cyrus was the headliner at our annual, HUGE, "Stadium of Fire" 4th of July event. Tickets sold out within minutes or hours - for a 60,000 seat stadium. This year, when the JoBros were announced, I quickly bought 2 good seats - thinking I could sell them easily for a quick buck - not that I'd gouge someone, but maybe make something for having gotten them so early. My sister in law (who is 15) is CRAZY in love with the JoBros. I guess she influenced my thinking that they were hugely popular. There are still tickets on sale for this year's event -- a month after they went on sale. Looks like i'm going this year. $ Ouch! $
