Jonas Brothers - Grammys 2009

I suspect everyone who talks **** about the Jonas Brothers either (a) isn’t actually watching their performances or (b) simply has no idea what they are talking about and have a really narrow understanding of music.

It was a really good set and a great pairing!

excuse me listenupmorons, we are entitled to our opinions. Their perfomance made me wish I was deaf. Not everything the music industry produces is sunshine and rainbows, a majority of the time its giant piles of ****. When stupid fan girls claim it was the best performance of the night, why not ask people who are indifferent about the group. I am neither a fan nor a hater, I was watching the show with about 25 people and they all agreed the Jonas Brothers performance was God awful. There were so many off-key and pitch problems it was unbearable. I can easily look past forgotten lyrics, but that was the least of the problems tonight. Stevie Wonder being a fan is likely because I have never heard Stevie Wonder say he disliked anybody. If a dozen cats were tied up in a bag and began to scream, he would find it amazing. I just get upset about all the fans who try to protect these boys especially those who personally insulted Adele because she won. Don’t believe me. go on other websites and read their responses. These girls are pathetic low-lifes who go against everything their Messiahs stand for.

Those of you who are criticizing tonight’s performance clearly were not watching or listening. Stevie is a fan of the boys and praises them for their musicianship. He was not forced into this, for crying out loud. Perhaps if you did your research, you would learn that these boys have been doing this since before they were associated with Disney. They have talent, and whether you like it or not, they will be around for a long time. I suggest you give them a chance so you can avoid feeling like a complete idiot down the road.

The boys themselves picked Adele to win and most JB fans have nothing against her. She was absolutely my second pick to win.

they were talented somewhat before disney. Ive heard some songs they made before disney and it def is no where close to their music now. I think disney opened up a lot of doors that allowed them to grow but if it hadnt been for disney idk that they would be where they are today.

If I had Disney’s backing I would be the next big star and trump the JBs AND..I can’t even sing…LOL
seriously Disney has an amazing recording for hyping up people w/ no talent at all…. they’re frickin genious

@listenupmorons…

soul music. you made your point right there. You have no definition of what music is. I know where they come from, I know there story. They were dropped by their original label. If they hadn’t had a look, they would still being play gigs in Jersey and not become the Disney puppet. I will agree they are pop/debateable rock, but absolutely not soul singers. Ray Charles was a soul singer, Big Joe Turner was a soul singer, Aretha Franklin is a soul singer. Jonas Brothers not close to soul singers. And no, I don’t expect them to be like the other boy-bands. But if you look-up those bands they totally owned these three kids. They might not play their own instruments, but they didn’t hide the fact what they were.

but they are not a Disney created band and it really bothers me when people think this. NSYNC and the BSBs were picked by a management company and given songs to record and dance moves to do. These boys write their own songs and play their own instruments. Maybe the sound wasn’t great but the energy was there.
Some of the other acts were bad-MIA really ruined the Rap Pack’s otherwise excellent performance. And Katy Perry was the worst. At least she wasn’t actually nominated for a Best New Artist award because that would have been embarassing. Adele was great though.
So maybe Disney has really helped them to be successful to one group of fans but the downside is that the”genious” es who seem to be here tonight won’t even give them a chance.

listenupmorons @ 02/09/2009 at 1:00 am …they are a band that writes/plays and sings live pop/rock/soul music

I assume this was was either an abysmal typo or a temporary loss of sanity. SOUL MUSIC???? You can’t honestly believe the JBs have even a tangential connection to SOUL MUSIC!!! That defies anything even approximating logic.

They are not necessarily my cup of tea, but I can understand how little girls would like them (I refer you to the Hansen Bros and other
transient teen stars of that ilk). I certainly give the JBs credit for at least writing their own music and playing instruments rather well. But what they perform is NOT SOUL MUSIC!!! (I cringe at even the thought of such musical heresy). Tonight’s tribute to the Four Tops was Soul Music. Soul and R&B are an outgrowth of the blues. It is specialized, it is heartfelt, it is raw and gritty and it has NOTHING to do with the JBs and their bubble-gum pop/rock. Anyone who thinks these boys have any connection whatsover to Soul Music should run, not walk, to the nearest treatise on American popular music. By the way, why aren’t these boys on JJJr?

This was one of the worst peformances I’ve ever seen in the entirety of my life; I’m not even quite sure these three goons’ instruments were even that audible — it looked like the backing band was dubbing most of what they were playing. Therefore, aside from the atrocious vocals, cornball song (not Stevie’s “Superstition” of course), the laughably exaggerated on-stage “moves”, and rediculous clothes, this was indubitably a disgraceful pairing and performance.

As for the person claiming Stevie Wonder is a “fan” of these three dorks, well, Stevie Wonder is a kind-hearted individual and would never degrade anybody — especially publicly.

In short–this was atrocious–the whole damn Grammy’s were.

ALL TURDS GATHER, please!!

Those Jonas brothers really effed of Stevie’s Superstitious. That one with the girly scarf forgot the words to the song. What a hot mess!

What’s with middle freak struttin like Mic Jagger? I think the baby freak shoud go solo, he has the best voice out of all of them. He has a better stage, not to act like a fool and think he’s a rock god, that high pitch poo was so bad.
