"What do you want reviewed?" Contest winner: Jonas Brothers!

First and foremost, I would like to thank everyone who voted on our poll. As promised, a Jonas Brothers review has been put up. It is as below. I had the joy of reviewing it. Thank you!

Jonas Brothers are, right now, the most popular boyband in America. But there is more to the boyband than it seems. Although several fans refuse to believe this, the Jonas Brothers are just one of Disney's tools, as was Hilary Duff, Miley/Hannah and Aaron Carter, to drive up more viewings. And so it seems that way. In a conducted survey, 3/4 adolescents have heard and enjoyed a Jonas Brothers song and have watched a Disney Show in the past 24 hours. I will now give a down-to-earth review on them.

The music:
The Jonas Brothers try and fail to succeed in making music. In a sample of their guitar tabs:
e--7-7--7-7--7-7--10-10--10-10-10-10
B--7-7--7-7--7-7--10-10--10-10-10-10
G--7-7--7-7--7-7--11-11--11-11--11-11

This repeats 36x throughout the whole song. I bet that even some one who has only been playing for one week could play this. Compare the Jo Bros with some Judas Priest (first quality band that came to my head):

My friend, this is only the "interlude".
Guitar: C

The vocals are very whiny and are displeasing to listen to. And although several females claim that the Jonas Brothers have good vocals, take a look at one of their "best" song's chorus

I'm slipping into the lava
And I'm trying to keep from going under
Baby You turn the temperature hotter
'Cause I'm burnin' up
Burnin' up For you baby
What kind of lyrics are that? Compare it to something that actually has meaning. Again this is the first thing that came to my head.

World We Know - Crash Parallel

And the mention of God, makes me strange
The battle of words and the wars we wage.
And the castles of time, we build up straight
Just to run out of room so we build sideways

And sometimes at the feel, my blood runs cold.

Please, take the time and compare the two. What do you see?
Vocals: D-

The bass is almost non-existent.
If it is there, it is just a repetition of a G/C combination. Example: GGGGCCCCGGGGCCCC and so on and so forth.
Bass: F

The drums are so simple that I could play them and all I've ever played is Rock Band. The Jonas Brothers' rhythm is just the basic high-hat+snare+bass drum rhythm that almost anyone can play.
Drums: C-

The attitude:
The Jonas Brothers know that they are popular and they will sell out wherever they go and yet they seem to charge as much as $100 per concert. I don't think I have to continue.
Attitude:D

Overall, I am displeased with the Jonas Brothers. In fact, I think that a more appropriate name would be the Va-Jonas Bros or the Jo Hoes.

Overall Score: C-/D+
