Separate articles for Joe, Kevin, Nick

Periodically over the last year separate articles have been created for each of the brothers including just recently. These articles have been redirected back to this article as there is nothing in the separate articles that is not already in or could be added to this article and there is nothing that shows individual notability separate from the group notability. In the past the separate articles have had the redirects protected to prevent article re-creation and I have restored that state. --NrDg 20:36, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

But, now that the Jonas Brothers are starring in movies, like Camp Rock, and they all have different roles, we should maybe separate them into 3 articles? It's just a suggestion but maybe we can do it like how they did for Aly & AJ, where they have 2 separate articles, Alyson Michalka and Amanda Michalka. Would anyone add to that? Thanks. xo ♥, calliegal_x (talk) 22:45, 8 April 2008 (UTC)Calliegal

Are they notable as individuals though? They've only acted out in four films, and two of them as themselves, as Jonas Brothers. Alyson and Amanda Michalka are notable as actresses, being in many shows, acting out a character. --staka (T ・C) 00:47, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Sounds doubtful to me. Can you find any articles about one of them that isn't an article about the band?Kww (talk) 02:26, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I think at first it wasn't necessary for separate articles. But I think as time has gone on they are starting to come into their own as individuals. For instance there's tons of info about Nick growing up, going through Broadway, and starting the band that could be used. And when their show J.O.N.A.S! comes out they will all have their own characters. I have LOTS of information about them separately and if you started new pages for them I could contribute some very valuable info. 74.142.205.253 (talk) 00:14, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

This Jonas Brothers article should be fundamentally about the group and what it has done together as a group. Then there needs to be seperate biography articles for each individual. But for the group article, one glaring hole: A picture identifying the three brothers with the name that goes with each person. This would answer the starting question of "WHO" are they? And with the names, the dates of birth. That is because people want this fundamental question answered, how old are they? Rickster77 (talk) 13:23, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Punk? Excuse me?

Alright, I'm not really sure what "pop-punk" is. All I know is what the pop-punk article says, which doesn't answer my question, but it mentioned Green Day. And I take from that fact that either A) this article is horridly wrong in calling the Jonas Brothers any kind of punk, or B) Pop-Punk is really just Pop with a different name...Could someone please explain? 69.236.76.121 (talk) 00:37, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Pop-punk is a musical style that usually has fast, up-tempo beats, with heavy usage of power chords and distorted guitars, with melodic vocals. The songs are usually relatively short, between a minute and half to three minutes, and are set at a blistering pace, but with a light hearted pop lyrics and melodies. Pop-punk differs from normal punk because the vocals are usually less melodic in punk and more abrasive, and the lyrics are also usually more obtrusive and violent. Both styles have very high-tempo rhythms though, and often rely on similar power chord and distorted guitar tones. On a whole, normal punk is much more abrasive then pop-punk. Blink 182 is another classic example of pop-punk. I feel like the Jonas Brothers fall under the category of pop-rock, not pop-punk. I hope that helps, I can clarify more if you want. (WaltBusterkeys (talk) 01:28, 24 April 2008 (UTC))

Pop-punk sounds like the same thing as power pop to me. I suppose the point is that they are a rock- and pop- based boy band in the Osmond Brothers tradition as opposed to a R&B-based boy band in the Jackson 5 tradition. Timothy Horrigan (talk) 23:25, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Charts

Jonas Brothers' songs, S.O.S. and When You Look Me In The Eyes charted on the Channal V's V Countdown. S.O.S. highest peak is #8, now at #11, when it debuted, it peaked at #10, if I'm not wrong. And for When You Look Me In The Eyes peaked at #13/#16. I think we should at it on the charts part, because it's the first time Jonas Brothers' songs charted in Asia. Oh, and When You Look Me In The Eyes also charted at #10 on one of Indonesia's radio station, the name is Ozon FM if I'm not wrong. The highest peak is at #4. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.124.184.92 (talk) 09:58, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Frankie Jonas

Frankie Jonas (AKA The Bonus Jonas, Frank the Tank.) I heard expressed interest in being apart of the Jonas Brothers a little later on...when he is a bit older. Can anyone cite the source of him saying he doesn't want to be in it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.166.77.216 (talk) 20:15, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

No, no one can find Frankie himself saying this. Nick said either in Tiger Beat or LifeStory recently that he doesn't want to be in the band. I'm pretty sure it's in LifeStory where the brothers are talking about Frankie. 3/17/0864.148.181.17 (talk) 23:29, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Dancing With the Stars

On Tuesday the twenty fifth the Jonas Brothers will be performing on the Dancing with the stars show. They provide very good vocals. —Preceding [JBfan4evr] comment added by 71.143.133.73 (talk) 16:25, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Really? An exiting show? Does this mean what I think it means? A live onstage 3-way suicide pact? It's too late now, but I pray God such a thing did not take place on that fateful evening's program. Did the Jonases escape with their purity rings intact? Is their earning potential diminished?! I fear for the parents' financial security. - Lontano (talk) 16:58, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

As big as they are right now, there should be plenty of reliable sources. WAVY 10 Fan (talk) 17:52, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

EXCUSE ME but I wrote something at the top of this paragraph and someone added to it. I don't know WHAT THE HECK these people were thinking when "they" wrote that the Jonas Brothers would be "committing suicide" but if you believe this BS you're a freak! I don't mean to hate but this is unacceptable! Whoever wrote this needs to GET A LIFE!!!!!!!! For heavens sake these young men are Christians!!!!!! PLEASE (to whoever wrote this) remove your "irrelevant" sentences. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JBfan4evr (talk • contribs) 06:05, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

I just removed the vandalism. WAVY 10 Fan is right there would be a lot of sources if that was going to happen.Smileyface 12 91 (talk) 21:01, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Please remove irrelevant stuff in the talk page

I had noticed that there are items that are either irrelevant to the topic, are spam, or just "plain screwed" please adhere the talk page guidelines. As if the header template isn't big enough. I love them with all my heart, therefore I am asking you guys (responsible Wikipedians) to fix up the talk page, asap. Thanks in advance. -iaNLOPEZ1115 · TaLKBaCK · Vandalize it 12:14, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I can't agree anymore. This talk page is becoming a place where Jonas Brothers fans and Jonas Brothers haters debate about the band. This is a talk page, where you are suppose to discuss about improving the article, not arguing about personal opinions about them, nor is it a place for people to spread rumors. Let's stop the debate and actually talk about the article, okay? Thanks, ♥, calliegal_x (talk) 22:43, 8 April 2008 (UTC)Calliegal

Irrelevant info

There is no need for the track listing of their albums to be listed on this page. They should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.49.224.190 (talk) 22:51, 8 April 2008 (UTC) this is not a good bibliography —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.71.50.105 (talk) 21:55, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Ancestry

The Jonas brothers appear to be Eurasian. Could someone please provide this info on their ancestry?--69.234.205.106 (talk) 19:34, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, the boys are Italian. I think many people know that but we need a reliable reference. But thank you anyways I'll see what I can do. Consider getting and account if you want to edit pages that are semi-protected. ♥, calliegal_x (talk) 23:57, 16 April 2008 (UTC)Calliegal

Prom-themed tour?

The "prom-themed" tour was actually called the "Marvelous Party Tour".99.144.251.85 (talk) 15:12, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Really? That is interesting and I'll add it in once we can find a reference for it. If you got one and would like to contribute, please add it in somewhere in this discussion. Thank you, ♥, calliegal_x (talk) 03:38, 29 April 2008 (UTC)Calliegal

Never mind, i found it. ♥, calliegal_x (talk) 03:40, 29 April 2008 (UTC)Calliegal

Joe's not dead.

In Joes profile, it said he died April 30, 2008. I searched everywhere, and can not find any news article about it. I'm to lazy to fix it, so who volunteeres? I posted this before, but it was deleted for some reason. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.233.80.173 (talk) 22:02, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Where does it say that Joe is dead? I don't see it. And joe is awesome :) ♥, calliegal_x (talk) 00:05, 1 May 2008 (UTC)Calliegal

i fixed it--Meliss402 (talk) 21:09, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! I think it's really stupid to put it up there that somebody is dead. Just because you dislike that person doesn't mean they should die. I mean, many people love Joe too. (like me :)) ♥, calliegal_x (talk) 03:51, 2 May 2008 (UTC)Calliegal

someone also needs to fix the fact that it says Joe died under the "Burning Up" Tour. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.130.53.63 (talk) 03:57, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

i so agree with ya Calliegal|♥, --Meliss402 (talk) 14:01, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

That was just vandalism, someone adding false info.--RyRy5 (talk ♠ wikify) 00:25, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

These horrible vandalism has to stop. Why must people be so cruel? I mean just because I don't like Miley Cyrus doesn't mean I want her to die. I'm not that mean and other Wikipedians shouldn't be neither. If you don't like Joe, then ignore him, don't say that he's dead! I'm on guard almost EVERYDAY to check for vandalism like these, so vandalismers, look out! :D ♥, calliegal_x (talk) 04:21, 6 May 2008 (UTC)Calliegal

we do ppl even do that? ppl come on here 4 info not VANDALISM i check 4 it everyday 2. --Meliss402 (talk) 20:17, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Cheetah-licious Christmas Tour 2005

The boys also were special guests for the Cheetah Girls' Cheetah-licious Christmas Tour that took place in December of 2005. I don't know if that's notworthy enough to be part of the tour section, but that's around the time they first started touring.
