CONFESSION

Any one who knows me well, knows that I CAN NOT STAND the Jonas Brothers. i don't understand them, their music, or what it is about them that make six year old girls use the phrase "they are so hot!" they seem to attract females of all ages. many of my friends are mega fans. but no matter how hard i try to understand there song "year 3000", or see past the fact that they made a cover of a Beatles classic and put it on a target commercial, or studied their faces to find what is so "hot" about them, i still have not found i reason to be a fan. i have been out spoken about how ridiculous i think they are and the obsession of them. I mean come on, look and the music that we have had before their time. they don't even hold a candle to some of the greats and still people buy back packs with their face on it.
but now i have a confession.
the other day i was reading Kella's blog, when a song began to play that she added, it was very calm, had a catchy tune, and was all around delightful to listen to. before the song is over i decided that i like it and would like to know who sings it. i scrolled to the top of the page and i see "love bug" by the Jonas Brothers........i had been hit. i found myself enjoying their song. i sat there quietly by myself trying to figure out how i felt about my situation. the song ended and i had to come to terms with the fact that i wanted to hear it again. so yes my fellow bloggers i enjoy ONE of the Jonas brothers song, and i recommend you lesson to it as well. but does this mean that i am going to watch them on the Disney channel? No. does this mean that i would pay money to see them in concert? No. does this mean i will buy a CD? No. but i am a big enough person to admit when i have succumb to their music. i have not found a second song of theirs that i enjoy, and i still don't think it is right that the younger generation are growing up with the idea that they are the greatest boy band ever.
in the words of Joel McHale.."the Jonas Brothers are officially more popular than the Beatles among young girls who don't know who the Beatles are."
