Oh My Jonas!


The Jonas Brothers have been taking the music world by storm. They have captured the hearts of many girls (including me) and have a great track record to prove it. After making stars of singer-actors like Hilary Duff and Miley Cyrus, Disney Channel has now set its sights on a trio of teen siblings, ordering a series, movie and concert special starring recording act the Jonas Brothers. Just to be part of Disney is saying something great because Disney is seriously a gold mine. The three brothers, from Wyckoff, New Jersey, have released two CD”s. The second CD was number four on the billboard hot 200 list.

Now, Kevin, 19, Joe, 18, and Nick, 15, Jonas will star in a live-action spy comedy titled "J.O.N.A.S.," which they have already been filming. They play government sleuths a.k.a. Junior Operatives Networking as Spies (J.O.N.A.S.) who prevent evil while working undercover as a superstar teen rock band. The number of episodes has yet to be determined. In addition to the TV show, the Jonas Brother filmed "Camp Rock," a music-filled original movie that will premiere on the cable channel this summer. The Jonases play members of a leading musical group, Connect 3, who are celebrity guest counselors at a prestigious summer camp for aspiring musicians.

The Jonas Brothers already have a following among the tween set. The trio came to the attention of Radio Disney in early 2005 and was added to its playlist in October of that year. Since then, they recorded the theme song to Disney Channel's animated series "American Dragon: Jake Long," and that music video and others have been regularly featured on the network.

The brothers also were showcased in summer 2006 in a concert special from the "Disney Channel Games" at Walt Disney World in Orlando and guest-starred in the record-setting episode of "Hannah Montana" that aired after the premiere of "High School Musical 2."

The Jonas Brothers went on a 54-date arena tour as part of the Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds jaunt that kicked off in October. I went and it was amazing! Right after the tour, the three boys went on their own tour called “The Look Me in the Eyes Tour.” Now they are about to go on their very own tour once again called the “Burning up Tour.” I have tickets to that concert in August at Madison Square Garden. I can not wait for it! No one knows what is next for these boys from Jersey, but all we know is that it is going to be great!
