I disagree. Having seen the Jonas Brothers live (the tickets were free, and I didn't want to waste them, don't judge me) they are actually great singers, and have great stage presence. True, they can't act, but they do have musical talent. Miley Cyrus, on the other hand, isn't a very good singer, and isn't a very good actor.estefan wrote:Okay, let me explain my reasoning for firing the Jonas Brothers:
Yes, Annette Funicello and Hayley Mills were also singers who released albums under Disney. But, they were not only talented, they appealed to a much broader demographic.
This is a matter of opinion, but the Jonas Brothers have ZERO talent. They can't sing their way out of a paper-bag, they cannot act and they have no stage presence whatsoever. Frankly, they're in a way, ruining the Disney image of being aimed at everybody. But, the Jonas's are only majorly popular with tweenage girls. Most people outside of that demographic see them for the awful product they are. And Disney should be releasing quality product out on the marketplace. The Jonas Brothers are one of the main factors why a lot of people think Disney (sans Pixar) is only aimed at tweens and girls nowadays.
If I were CEO of Disney, I would return Disney to being aimed at everybody, not just one key demographic. Funnicello and Mills were popular with most everybody. The Jonas Boys? Not so much.
And I was in no way saying that NO Disney kid should be a singer. But there is no reason that every single kid or teen on a Disney Channel show has to have a musical career. Save it for the ones with actual talent.
