Jonas Brothers = Grammy Nominee????

WTF? Ok ok... I HAD to blog about this. Seriously.

Look... I will admit, at 29, I am a Disney Channel fan. Dig "Hannah Montana." "Wizards of Waverly Place" grew on me. Love the movies, love the parks... my own sister used to be a puppeteer for Disney for heavens sake!

BUT.... I draw the line at the Jonas Brothers. Similar to Hanson, (mmmm...bop! anyone?) this group is made up of three brothers, claiming to sing and play instruments well enough to deserve a huge contract from Columbia records, millions of adoring fans, sold out concerts, one motion picture.... and yes... you guessed it, a Grammy nod.

A travesty will strike the music world if this group wins for "best new artist"... as this category does not define this group... "the best."

If "best" is defined as seven-year-old girls swooning, then fine. They win hands down.

But this should not be a popularity contest. The Grammy's should be about talent... period... NOT who's hot with the kids.
