Why not them?

The Jonas Brothers are on the cover of the new issue of Rolling Stone.

While reading the article online I noticed a sickening number of comments calling them sellouts, disney-channel-bred-labrats, and teenboppers. People are saying that the Jonas Brothers don't deserve to be on the cover of Rolling Stone or even in Rolling Stone at all.

Let me begin by stating that Rolling Stone is a bullshit magazine to begin with and I have trouble truely caring about who is on the cover at all, but I absolutely must defend the JoBros on this one.

Why can't they be on magazine covers? Yes, they're popstars, but in no way would they be "posers" because they don't appear to be posing as anything at all. From what I have seen in my extensive research of these boys they are everything they claim to be. Most importantly they are good people, and if good people can't be on magazine covers then maybe it's time for me to stop reading magazines.

The Jonas Brothers are currently one of the world's largest pop sensations of the moment. Becoming that is something that they worked hard for. As a mother I can appreciate both the family atmosphere they portray for their fans and the energy they put into it. They are clean, safe, and exciting. They love what they do and they do it well. What more could anyone ask for out of them.

If they aren't good enough to be on the cover then who is? Do they need to be drug addicts who play death metal and have rape convictions? Do they have to only play shows to less than 100 people and shun children altogether? Why? None of this seems to make sense to me.

I guess in the end all I really have to say is that if someone hates the Jonas Brothers that much they need to just steer clear of any media whatsoever until Jonas-Mania is over, and from what I've seen, that may be a long time.

Over and Out.
