So, comment and say what team will you want too win?

Let Us Rock With Camp Rock!

Okay so this is a campaign that we set up in order to get Camp Rock at the same time as the US. We even started an online petition and had a really cool banner!
Recently I got in touch with the Disney Channel informing them of our quest and they replied with this:

"Hey Vicky,
Thankyou so much for you comments and we have considered what you have said. Your online petition does not have enough signatures to be used as evidence to change the date of the UK release of Camp Rock.
Keep On Watching your favourite shows and watch out for more Jonas Brothers coming soon to Disney. For more information log onto www.disneychannel.co.uk.

So basically follow this link http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/camp-rock_world/ and sign it so that we can change the disney channels mind! Please!!

Here is our banner :

So please kind people of the world sign the petition!

love Vicky

RE: The Guardian

Before reading this click on the post thats titled 'The Guardian' otherwise, this blog will mean nothing to you.

Everyone that i showed the blog too about the Guardian, and i mean everyone, even people who wern't Jonas Fans were angered by what both journalists had put.

Vicky, decided to 'take action' by writing a strongly worded letter...which she's unsure about sending. I say she should!

[Btw we've set the comments to a type of way were you dont have to make an account you just put your name...so comment if you think she should send this in to the guardian.]

Dear Betty and Anna,
When you talk about the Jonas Brothers we are obviously not thinking of the same band. A few things to pick out about your research 1. Nick is 15 years old not 16! If you are going to make them look bad at least get their age right! Thats strike one against you! Next point,
their fan-base is not limited to, as you put it "Tweenagers". As that expression falls to people below the age of 14, and guess what, I'm 16 a year OLDER than Nick! And there are many more fans who are older than 14, no many is the wrong word try..THOUSANDS! Two Stikes. Ok moving on to the Disney Channel. A question for you...Do you know what their new show is called? Probably not as your research didn't go as deep, Reference Nick's age. And Camp Rock...Is a sure success with the sheer amount of fans that they have! And I bet you
don't even know what that is about! Another thing...the Disney Channel is a success machine! I wouldn't turn down a chance to be a regular on there. And you could never dream of getting the amount of success that they have, your articles didn't make that much of a deal as I only heard about them today. Finally the Jonas Brothers, Nicholas Jerry Jonas aged 15, Joseph Adam Jonas aged 18, Paul Kevin Jonas II aged 20, were brought up as good people, if you watched Oprah and listened to their mum and dad you would have seen that! and talking about Nick's solo career and his religious songs...that is their faith and who are you to judge that? Strike three and you're OUT!

Love Vicky

P.S. Notice the use of proper english rather than "txtspk" so that's one Stereotype you can flush down the toilet!

Jonas Brothers Like Girls Aloud

Heyy...

I found this hysterical. But then again, I'm like that.

A few of my friends said they knew instantly who it was...

And they were right.

Who else has an image of Joe dancing around so "Sexy! No No No!"?
I Have.

Speaking of that trip to Washington D.C... That's from perezhilton.com :)

and that's from justjared.com
but - am I seeing things or has Joe finally had a haircut?
if he has - it's about time :P
To be honest, it looks like they've all been for a haircut.
Ace.

Oooh, and
The full version of their new song, Kung Fu Grip has been uploaded to Youtube

I like it :)
Haha.

So,

That's the concert both Becky & I are going to.
I'm very excited :)
See you there?

Keep It Jonas,

The Guardian

The Jo Bro's were in the guardian and its not good news!

-Thanks to Bethany for telling me about this -
Btw...bethany and Lizz done the myspace site that was on JB's official myspace page for over 8 months.

Im slightly annoyed by this article!
If your gonna insult the talents, atleast get there ages correct!
Betty or who ever the woman was that posted this...is now an enemy of mine!

Just exactly how old is she anyway?

I'm guessing middle aged, doesnt have teenagers, the woman at that concert looking like an outkast grandma.

Come'on, what fan was it that punched her by accident?

Okay, so now for the serious stuff.

Here is the article she posted.

The Jonas Brothers Islington Academy, London Betty ClarkeTuesday April 15, 2008 The Guardian
Two years ago, the Jonas Brothers could not even convince their record company they were the next big thing. Now, they are all-American Tweenie sensations, their Disney-sponsored, platinum-selling success story recently sealed with an Oprah Winfrey show devoted entirely to them. The Christian trio are hoping to convert the UK's under-14s to their brand of plastic punk-pop; judging by the heaving mass of screaming girls surging towards the stage at this, their first UK gig, their mission is already complete.

It was a cover of Busted's Year 3000 - its spiky urgency watered down to an unthreatening bounce - that pricked up the Mickey Mouse ears of Radio Disney and kick-started the band's stardom. The Jonas Brothers claim to be a rock band, but as they jump around to the effervescent I Am What I Am, they make McFly look like the Sex Pistols.
Youngest brother Nick, 16, already a veteran of Broadway musicals, wears a Miami Vice-style beige linen suit, while heart-throb Joe, 18, sports a starched collar and waistcoat. Kevin, 20, plays chugging guitar, but with so much posing and prancing to do, it is unsurprising that musical duties fall largely to their four-piece backing band.
The frenzied crowd do all the singing, obliterating Nick's weak vocals but freeing up the band to leap on and off the piano and shimmy back-to-back. "It's pretty cool to hear you guys singing the songs with British accents," Nick says. "Kinda like a dream come true."
The brothers' seamless harmonies make Hold On and Still in Love With You memorable, though they ignore the hit that got them here, choosing instead to play upcoming single SOS twice. With two TV programmes and a movie on the way - the unfortunately titled Camp Rock - world domination will be kids' stuff.

Sadly there was no comments allowed to that post....im guessing she was fearing the outcome...
or just the fact there not aloud too...idk...

Well...y'know....im way over 14 and guess what betty, im one of thir biggest fans!!
And what is it with uk newspapers all think nick, is 16?
get your facts right before you go posting articles!

But they were in it twice...the second time is just as bad!

The familiar sound of a boyband power-pop-punk jingle-jangle over a visual of the kind of cruise ship your nana might go on for a treat.
The heart sinks. I thought McFly had broken up. Have they not?
Oh, apparently, they haven't, but that matters little as this isn't them anyway. This, apparently, is The Jonas Brothers. Sorry, Who?
"The Jonas Brothers," says Wikipedia, fount of all knowledge, "are an American pop-punk/pop-rock band from Wyckoff, New Jersey made up of three brothers, Joseph, Nicholas and Kevin..." They, we have recently heard, are coming to take over Europe. So here, via the medium of video reviewing, we hope to brief you on the incoming invasion This is the littlest Jonas, Nick. He's been performing on Broadway since the age of seven and releasing music since late 2003 when his first single, Joy to the World, was well received by Christian radio. A second single, Dear God, followed - after which he diversified. No, I'm serious.Here, in the first verse of the song, which he wrote, we find him singing about girlfriend troubles. He is meeting a young lady for a date but she has turned up with all her annoying mates. God, I totally HATE that. He does too, and stalks off to spend time with his brothers in the radio room. Whatever that is
So these are the Jonas three picking up where Nick's cracking falsetto and falling balls left off. Originally signed by Columbia records, their first album sort of spluttered out. They were dropped, but soon found a place at their true home: Disney.
Of course, if you have almost-teenage - or "tweenage" - girls of your own, you will know all this already. If you have ears and ever go near tweenage girls, you will soon. If you are a tweenage girl you've probably already sent me a badly spelled over-defensive email - in capital letters and txtspk telling me that I am a LOOSR and a H8tr, cuz I dont get how The Jonas Bros ROOL.
And if you have no dealings with tweenies and have never even been one, you've probably already retired and are muttering and rocking quietly in a darkened room at the mention of this happy brand of plasticised guitpop being called "punk" several paragraphs ago.

There is no help for any of us here. It is boy-pop pumped out for those members of society with bucketfuls of oestrogen and no idea what to do with it. The market cries out for it, the record company provides. As it was in the beginning, is now, as it ever shall be, alpha and omega.

Of course, sometimes we get lucky. They have a cracking song-writing team and turn out perfect pop: we will mysteriously wake up one day and find ourselves singing it in the shower. And sometimes it just is mysteriously yet wildly popular well-marketed sets of brothers who take over the world with their carefully constructed tween-creaming compositions.

No, hang on, those are Chipmunks. Whatever. The Jonas Brothers might not, of course, turn out to be annoying. Just because they've been churned out by the same machine as Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus and High School Musical, just because they have a movie, a live concert spectacular and their own Disney Channel series in production. If you manage to avoid all those things, you'll barely notice them slipping through the poposphere and only feel a slight shimmer in the space-time continuum as the eternal boyband slip into their new skins. If you're part of their target audience, however, they will soon be the centre of your world because that is what they have been created to be. And you will make their next video the most watched video on YouTube since this one (12,881,917 views and counting). And you will fall upon every "extra" the boys put up there for your pleasure, like your Daily Dose of Jonas...
... and you will be pleased at the end of the videos when the boys, tired of being messed around, end up with a set of pretty, normal girls and everything ends up happily ever after. And that is good, because that is what being a tweenager is all about. Let the rest of us go and bury our heads in our tearstained blankets and whine about way back when, when music was music and the word "punk" had a meaning. Ignore us. We are old and will die soon. The earth is yours. Yours and the Jonas Brothers'.S.O.S....

that second one was posted by Anna Pickard ....another mere mortal enemy of mine!

Ciao!
Peave. Love. Jonas.

Jonas In The Daily Mail :)

Hey, Again,

I didn't know about this until today. My friend texted me saying there was something in Friday [25th April]'s Daily Mail that I needed to see, so I went on a hunt for it and ended up going through the recycling to find it.

So there it is. I had a slight heart attack.

I never realised how wrong a paper like this could be. First of all, that picture is clearly Joe but it says "Teenage Sensation: Nick Jonas". Also, it says that Nick is 16. Yeah, wrong.

I do love the way it says "You have been warned." though. It IS an infectious disease. Hahaha.

I feel like such a nerd saying this, but
Keep It Jonas,
Ninaa

Jonas On Ellen DeGeneres :)

Hey,
I was on my work experience last week and got a bit bored in the office so I was searching Channel 5's website to see when Jonas Brothers are next on Ellen. I found that they're on at 6am this Friday [2nd May] on FiveLife [Freeview - 36 , Sky - 182]. Video it, Sky+ it, Watch it.
I'll keep checking to see when they're on Oprah and I'll let you know when I find out :)

Keep It Jonas,
Nina
