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.

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....
