Now that the three brothers are all in their twenties, the Jonas Brothers are at that awkward stage in their career when they’re making the transition from boy band to man band. Their audience, however, still mostly consists of teens and tweens and hasn’t quite grown with them. So what’s a Disney Channel sensation to do? Well, the guys apparently want the best of both worlds, something they made clear during a disjointed show last night at Blossom, which appeared to be about half full. They still want the teen audience but they’re also haphazardly trying for a slightly older demographic, too.

  1. Poor review of a great show. It feels as if you already had a bias going in, thus saw what you wanted to see. Too bad. I’m an adult fan of the Jonas Brothers, and have watched them grow from boys to men, both literally and musically. Disney is long behind them. They can’t be faulted for the relatively annoying behavior of many of their fans. They aren’t crazy about the tween-association either. Sadly, it’s going to be difficult for most people to open their minds and ears to these talented guys when there’s so much history and association that robs them off the credibility they deserve. Case in point: your review.

  2. In a couple years, the review of the next “comeback” will be posted after several sets on a hot afternoon at the Cuyahoga County Fair.
