Mothers & Fathers in their 30s and up, I have a question: Is it normal that he likes the Jonas Brothers?

Question

My son is 10 yrs old, he likes normal boy things, good at sports, video games, likes girls, etc very typical boy but he likes the Jonas Brothers. He won't admit it to me but I catch him watching them on tv and singing along and stuff. I would never judge him and I tell him it's ok to like their music but I wonder, is it? I don't remember my brothers liking the New Kids on the Block or my nephews liking the Backstreet Boys. Is this weird or typical?

Answer 1

This is typical. Young minds are so influenced by many things! He may find inspiration in them and that's why he's drawn to them. Does he like to sing? Have you thought about getting him a musical instrument? I had friend's that were guys growing up that had new kids on the block CDs because it was popular and they talked to girls about it. I also had guy friend's in college who listened to backstreet boys because they also were singers and wanted to sing those songs. It has nothing to do with being g*y and none of my friends were g*y. Music goes much deeper and you should explore and support his interest in it. You should also expose him to all kinds of music - he could be a legend in the making if only led in the right direction!

Answer 2

I think he knows it's not socially acceptable for boys to listen to that kind of music which is why he lies about it. I don't think you have anything to worry about though. From what you say he seems like a pretty normal kid.

Answer 3

I think it's normal.  

Jonas Brothers are popular, and kids like what's popular.

There are a lot of boys who admit to having liked BSB when they were younger, and they're perfectly normal.

He's 10.  If he were 15, yeah it'd be a little odd, but he's not.  So it's fine.

Lol.  It's kind of cute, actually. :P :]

Answer 4

no, theres nothing wrong with it.

i'm sure there are plenty other boys who do. even older ones. I babysit a 5 year old and he loves them. theres really no shame to it. its not like hes saying thier hot. plus they are good people

Answer 5

would you be concerned if it was a girl who liked hannah montana? hes a kid and its a popular show for kids, I'm sure that he doesn't want to tell anyone because hes afraid of being called g*y. i think its perfectly normal, but I'm only 24, and pregnant with my first

Answer 6

Sorry I'm not an mother or father in my 30's but I just wanted to answer this question. I think he might like them because everyone else at school probably likes them. You have High School Musical, "Hannah Montana", and THE JONAS BROTHERS. They're  just "now". If Barney came back and everybody at his school was singing I love you you love me....I am pretty sure he would be singing the same.  =)  Just my opinion.

Answer 7

no your son must be a raving homosexual ...j/k... its perfectly normal those guys rock...again j/k

Answer 8

weird

Answer 9

no it's normal their just a popular music artist for children

Answer 10

It's perfectly normal.  Hormones haven't set in yet, neither has his taste for good music.  My son used to like Hanson until some older kid at school teased him about it.  Don't worry.  Girls faint over Miley Cirus and nobody questions their sexuality.  It's double standard.

Answer 11

Hello.  Mom of 4, one on the way.  I think its normal.  My brother liked the backstreet boys when he was younger.  He even went to one of their concerts.  I thought it was weird back then, but now I see it was just a phase.  He is a normal 22 yr. old man now.  He is happily married, and has a daughter now.  

Answer 12

I am a mom and my son AND my daughter love them..no big deal...really they are a cool band and any1 can like them

Answer 13

My brother is 11 and he digs the Jo Bros.  I don't think it's weird... If your son liked another all guy band, like Metro Station, 3 Doors Down, All American Rejects, Coldplay, or Van Halen, would you think it was weird?  I think not.  You're being very judgemental in saying that your son shouldn't like the Jonas Brothers.  I mean, do you want him to only listen to all girl bands like the Pussycat Dolls?!

Answer 14

Since they do not have their own tv show or anything, then you caught him watching THE DISNEY CHANNEL at a commercial break.  He was watching a tv show and they came up between commercials.  I'd sing along too if there was nothing else to do while waiting for the show to come on.

It's very normal for him to like them.  They are good role models for him.

Why would you think otherwise....?
