    Good, clean pop-punk from nice-guy trio.

Why We Rated This on for Ages 8 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Lyrics like "Next time I see you I'm giving you a high five/'Cause scars are overrated just FYI" in a break-up song promote a nice-guy image, consistent throughout.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    A lot of swoon-worthy romance ("I catch a glimpse of heaven/I find my paradise/When you look me in the eyes") with nothing more explicit than "hold you through the night."
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    The CDVU+ format allows a lot of room for product placement, but the Jonas Brothers are refreshingly restrained. There are a lot of fan-club type goodies in store for those who buy the CD.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Jonas Brothers

Parents need to know that this appealing, energetic, tween-friendly CD is from a trio of cute young heartthrobs who are in heavy rotation on Radio Disney (and have also toured with Hannah Montana). Content-wise, there's not much to object to -- the romance is innocent and the lyrics are clean. The band's cuteness factor is played up with the first-ever enhanced CDVU+ format, which boasts photos, videos, lyrics, and an interactive poster -- all accessible on any computer.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about why the Jonas Brothers are so popular. How does Disney promote its stars? Also, how does a band's image help or hurt their popularity? Do you think the Jonas Brothers' good looks enhance their fame, or would you like their music no matter what they looked like? Families can also talk about the new CDVU+ (pronounced "view plus") format. Do you like having all the extra bells and whistles, or do you just care about the music?

    Appropriate, Clean Lyrics- Nearly all Ages

    While I am not a personal fan of the Jonas Brothers, I have heard many of their songs. They're messages are relatively positive/appropriate for all ages. Some of their songs have lyrics that could be found inappropriate for younger children.

    Pray they live to honor their Heavenly Father

    Watched "Jonas"TV. Heard CD. Went to Mellon Arena concert. No crotch grabbing, hip gyrations. No swearing. Nothing but a little fliration from Joe Jonas who worked the crowd well. Kevin and Nick are clear-eyed talented musicians who carry an aura of fan appreciation and a dedication to something other than stardom. I pray these boys stay close to their pastor father and live to please their Heavenly Father thanking him for the Gift of the Holy Spirit. I feel this is their attractive Force and they should share that fact more often with their impressionable fans.

    2-4 year olds

    Are you kidding me?? THEE WORST BAND OF ALL TIME. My opinion. Their music has turned little 2-7 year old girls into monsters. Just look at Youtube. They go around EVERYWHERE making up these phrases "Love, Peace, Jonas" and talk like they are mental. "Jonas Brothers R soo HAWT, Nick is awl MINE!!!1112" Jonas Brothers NEED to come to an end. At least we still have Metallica, Iron Maiden, and AC/DC around to play awesome music.
