- “Justin who?”
Even though Justin Bieber has pretty much taken over the hearts and bedroom walls of teenage girls everywhere, Jonas Brothers still have a loyal following, which they proved last night at Quicken Loans Arena.
And they proved it even before they took the stage: Thousands of screaming voices rose every time one of the three brothers showed up on the giant video screens during Demi Lovato’s opening set.
Lovato and the Jonases star together in the upcoming Disney Channel movie Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, which airs on Friday. Many of the songs in Lovato’s set are from the movie, and supporting cast members joined her onstage.
Jonas Brothers played a few songs from the movie too, but they mostly focused on the songs fans wanted to hear, like “Year 3000.”
Mixing things up, the most talented JoBro, Nick, accepted a challenge to perform “Introducing Me” in record time (a little more than two minutes) as the audience cheered him on.
With onstage fireworks (real ones), an impressive light show, and Joe Jonas repeatedly jumping into the audience, it was a night many girls won’t forget. Or at least until Justin Bieber comes to town in November. —Crystal Pirri

I was there, not as a mom, but as a adult (30-something) fan. And I went to the show with another adult fan. Their music is not just for children. Two of the brothers are grown men at this point. I definitely don’t believe that Nick Jonas is the most talented. Joe Jonas is amazing to watch on stage. He commands the audience with such intensity. It’s hard to look anywhere but at him, and that’s fine, because he’s a very good looking man. Nick is boring. No personality whatsoever, and has a whiny, squeaky voice that is painful to my ears. As far as I’m concerned, both Nick and Kevin were backup musicians for the Joe Jonas show.

I, too, was there as a mom and as a fan. I took my 14yr old daughter who, by the way, is crazy about Nick. As far as Joe and Kevin being grown men? They just became men. Nick does have personality and is not boring. He’s got lots on his mind and I believe he is very talented. All three young men are talented and know how to entertain a crowd. Joe is amazing and Nick and Kevin are just as amazing.
