♥ Music and the JoBros x
I would never of picked pop as my favourite kind of music, becau
se i'm more into indie music, yet the Jonas brothers seem to be my favourite band anyway (you would've figured this out already) The Jonas Brothers come from Irish, Italian, German, and Cherokee Indian descent but were raised in Wyckoff, New Jersey, and the band consists of three brothers (duh) Paul (Kevin) who's 20 , Joe who's 19 and Nick who is 15. The JoBros career started with Nick when he was discovered at the age of 6 in a barber shop while his mother was getting her hair cut and was confronted by a show business manager.When he was 7, he began performing on Broadway. He had acted in several plays, including A Christmas Carol, Annie Get Your Gun, Beauty and the Beast, Les Misérables and The Sound of Music. Nick then release a album called "Dear God" In 2005 Columbia Records decided they wanted to realease a album with Nick and his brothers as a band. So the Jonas Brothers were then formed. Their first single "Mandy" on their album "It's About Time' went to number 4 in the charts. 
In 2007 The Jonas Brothers signed with Hollywood records and released a self entitled album. On their 'Look me in the eyes tour' Nick was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and has to wear a OmniPod insulin pump to help him manage it. Having diabetes inspired Nick writing their third album, 'A little Bit Longer'. The Jonas Brothers earned about $12 million in 2007, and have donated 10% of their earnings to diabetes charities. In my opinion this year has been the best for the Jonas Brothers as they made history being the first group ever to sell more than 100,000 digital downloads for three consecutive singles: "Burnin' Up", 183,000+ first week sales, "Play My Music", 109,000+ sales, and "Pushin' Me Away", 116,000+ sales. In addition, "
Burnin' Up", "Pushin' Me Away", and "Tonight" all charted as #1 on the iTunes "Top Songs" Chart for several days, pushing off Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl", which had been charting for weeks on #1 already., they've starred in the new movie 'Camp Rock' and appeared in Hannah Montana. They had a sold out tour this summer and toured the U.K with Avril this January. They also wrote Demi Lovato's debut album 'Don't Forget'. There is another Jonas brother called Frankie who's 8, that doesn't want to join the band because he has 'better band' with his friend called 'Monster Claw' but it seems likely that he'll eventually join the band. When he's older Nick hopes to go to Berkely school of music, even though he's already a sucessful musician :)Other Bands/Singers i like are Paramore, 30 seconds to Mars, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Plain white t's , The Ting Tings, Beyonce, and loads of other people, Fall out Boy I basically like all genres of music, like rock, pop, indie, hip hop etc. But i hate heavy metal. Three songs i can't get out of my head that i discovered this week are : 1. Demi Lovato's new single 'Get Back' ( I don't like Demi but this songs really different coming from a disney star, and it's really Catchy. 2.Carrie Underwood, Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Fergie, Sheryl Crow, Nicole Scherzinger , Natasha Bedingfield, Miley Cyrus, Leona Lewis, Keyshia Cole, Ashanti and Ciara's song for breast cancer 'Just stand up' It's really catchy and it sounds good and interesting with all their voices mixed together, even though miley sounds annoying and you can hear her voice and accent through the whole song but it's still cute. 3.Jonas brothers performing 'Lovebug' at the vmas a couple days ago. I like how it starts out all acousticy on a sesame street like area and then it just gets better when the fans come. The songs also really catchy Eleni x
