lol they’re so reading… haha i love when they read :) so cute!
shawn, on April 11th, 2009 at 7:28 pm Said:

haha, you can actually tell their reading from something.
hah, wow.
anyway, I like how kevin was talking and his hands kept moving.
Amy, on April 11th, 2009 at 7:42 pm Said:

Kevin is really the best at this promotion business. He sounds excited about it. Joe and Nick are like…whatever. But Kevin…bad haircut…bad bad bad. Such a cutie otherwise.
Joe was looking a little disheveled, but beautiful as always. Boy loves that jacket. Wonder when they filmed this? Earlier this week, maybe?

AMY—no matter how much I love Kevin, I have to agree with the hair NOT being a hot mess. Kevin, if you are reading this—NEVER WITH THAT HAIR AGAIN!

i love joe !!!!!!!!!!!:)
Mary, on April 11th, 2009 at 10:33 pm Said:

Joe looks freaking delicious there.
Driving me CRAZY.
It’s the hair……..
He better wear it like that on the tour :]
nicole, on April 12th, 2009 at 2:28 am Said:

joe, as usual, seems like he could care less about what theyre doing

its really sad though that they cant just make a video for fans like they used to.
everything they do nowadays, even though they keep claiming its alllllllllll about “connecting closer to the fans” is really just code for “promoting ourselves down ur throats till ur pockets are emptied and ours are full!!”
which is getting REALLY annoying. REALLY fast.
=(

itd be at least a LITTLE bit better if they werent so robotic and all about it though
:-/
oh well, what else can they do….disney and their management and their dad are gonna keep making them do stupid things like this to self-promote
which if only they all realized makes people get even MORE annoyed with them…. :-/

ughhhh=(

-sigh- I miss the genuineness .
Disney is sucking them up. what a soul killer.

after they shot this, they were probably like:
“print out party favors? invitations for a SHOW premiere?
you think people did this for Hannah Montana or Wizards of
Waverly Place? No. this is idiotic.”

I feel so bad. I wonder if their music would be like “Move on”
and stuff like that. it’d be so true and so real again. commenting
their fans everyday for two hours with real comments & remembering
their names. meet and greets that last for at least 10 minutes to like
talk at least. yeah, that sounds nice right about now.

they don’t want us to throw a party for their premiere. DISNEY does.
the Jonas Brothers just want us to love their music :) THAT was the dream.

mmmmm. how to sum it up? they love US. they just hate Disney. lmfao
but Disney holds your image. if you break free, you’re much more
vulnerable.

^^ Aileen and Nicole-I totally agree i hate that their management makes them promote so much ofcourse every celeb has to, so they can get their product out there but idk the way the boys do it is just really annoying its so sad that it has come to them reading off a piece of paper Joe and Nick look bored Kevin somewhat looks remotely interested or maybe he’s just good at putting on a face for the cameras nevertheless i love these buys but disney is trying to suck them up for any penny that they can get and its frustrating to see more and more of their souls go to the mouse everyday
angel, on April 12th, 2009 at 8:07 pm Said:

they would have been hugely successful even without disney. they have a little thing called “talent” =)

but it would be nice if disney would lay off the constant promoting.

i love the idea of them branching out, but they are musicians and deserve to be treated as such. it’s not the boys’ faults.

maybe they also feel like they’re sacrificing being close to us because they have signed their lives over to a company that wants to keep them close to us (ironic huh?). we all know they would go to the ends of the earth for us, which is way more than any fanbase should ever ask for. it goes to show how much they really care.

they always say they “live like you’re at the bottom even if you’re at the top”, so i hope they know that if they ever do fall, we’ll be at the bottom to catch them =)
Ambrosia, on April 12th, 2009 at 8:09 pm Said:

I totally agree with you guys. I feel like we should all comment on their myspace or something with a message like: we love you guys but a word of advice, don’t overpromote. I think they should know that and it would mean something if it came from the fans.
JB411, on April 12th, 2009 at 8:39 pm Said:

^^Ambrosia thats a wonderful idea but knowing their management and Disney, they won’t even care if the boys want to stop overpromoting all they see are these signs $$ and they think that by promoting and promoting will help the boys to become more successful, but in reality its only making fans become annoyed with them i love disney for what they have done with the boys but with more money and success they shouldnt try to take away the boys they first signed to their label those are the boys we loved the best not robots who live their lives vicariously through what their company wants
Dee, on April 12th, 2009 at 8:49 pm Said:

^^ I have to agree with u guys, I feel that they dont want to do this but are forced to do all this overpromoting. They’er like caged song birds, just wanting to be freed. I just wish that they’ll be out of disney in a few years so they can just focus on music and showing people the amazing talant this boys already have. I’m for the Freeing of this Misunderstood band of Doves! Who else agrees?
JB411, on April 12th, 2009 at 9:00 pm Said:

Haha Dee i agree i love the “Freeing of this Misunderstood band of Doves” statement im just scared that without disney all the little teenies will turn their back on them and move on to the “next boy band”..i really want them to live disney and be their own persons but idk what’s down the road for them without that leash disney currently has on them. I don’t want them to end up on those “Where are they now shows?”..
JB411, on April 12th, 2009 at 9:01 pm Said:

leave*
angel, on April 12th, 2009 at 11:51 pm Said:

yes i agree with all of you =)

the boys have said they do read the fansites, to catch up on what on our minds. so maybe they’ll even read these comments of concern, that we do care for their futures and understand that they’ll be okay on their own (even though, technically they’ll never be alone, with all of us!)

so, jb, if you are reading, we hope that you are happy where you are in your lives. and if you aren’t, know WE LOVE YOU, and that’s often all you need. please believe that. it’s even a beatles song :P
morgen, on April 13th, 2009 at 1:20 am Said:

i dont think ALL the blame for overpromoting can be put on disney and their management (which dont forget, includes their own dad!!!)
im sure theyre plenty fine (and probably want to!) continually keep whoring themselves out 24/7!! how else are they gonna be buying $200,000 cars then or staying in that $25,000 atlantis suite then !??!?

sure disney plays a huge role in it.
but the boys are probably just as guilty for being greedy moneywhores as disney is
morgen, on April 13th, 2009 at 1:21 am Said:

and to the person, i forget who mentioned it…but someone above in the comments mentioned how they say “live like ur at the bottom even if at the top”
……

CORRECTION::::
they havent said that in almost 2 years now.
they only used to say that when they actually were humble.
not when theyre so full of themselves now.

=P
Sahar, on April 13th, 2009 at 1:44 am Said:

i love them
but miss how much more natural their videos were
i hate how everything is planned out. thats why i love their live chats because its the only chance we get to see themunscripted and spontaneous.
still love them though <3 :)
morgen, on April 13th, 2009 at 2:15 am Said:

the live chats arent unscripted…..
they have a set of topics that they MUST promote by the end of it

why else do u think that they always look off to the side of the camera whenever theyre askd a question during the live chats?
cause a bunch of ppl are standing off to the side TELLING them how to answer the questions…..

SADDDDD.
even THEN theyre still not being “real”
:-/
shannon, on April 13th, 2009 at 4:07 am Said:

I think a lot of it has to do with their management (their father etc) Miley, Demi and Selena are also on Disney shows and in movies and we never see them do promotion like this. You always hear Mr. Jonas in the background saying “read this, repeat this” to them..haha.

I think when they are being natural like on talk shows and in live chats (not promoting) they are themselves..when they interviewed each other for unscripted and for that artist on artist. When they are doing radio interviews and press conferences a lot of their responses are very standard and robotic answers and don’t seem very sincere.

I love them..I just wish they would be more natural sometimes. We can see right through it!!

i totally agree. we want to she them not fake madeup stuff.
angel, on April 13th, 2009 at 12:47 pm Said:

yes, they haven’t said that quote in quite a while. hopefully they still live by it. i’d be disappointed if they didn’t. idk, it’s all proof hollywood is a double-edged sword. sacrificing normality to live your dreams.

it’s a shame how much pressure is on them to keep up a good image, probably too much. we can’t demand their attention, either…i do think a lot of the pressure comes from us.

we do have to remember that they may have a larger say in all of this than we think. we can’t victimize them for something we don’t know much about, nor should we blame them.

so yeah it’s all extremely confusing. I try to keep open-minded. i do still really love jb and i believe they still love us back. I think they have sacrificed a lot of their youth to make music and make their fans happy. they’ve really given a lot.

and i hope they haven’t changed their values over the years. i hope at heart they are still those converse-wearing kids from wyckoff.
