It's been an interesting summer for the Jonas Brothers. With a #1 album, A Little Bit Longer, and several major projects in the works — including a TV show and a movie — they've fully succeeded in causing boy-band hysteria that hasn't been seen since Justin Timberlake left 'NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys became men.

With the VMAs coming up September 7 at 9 p.m. ET, the three brothers — Nick, Joe and Kevin — find themselves on the brink of mainstream success. They have two VMA nominations — including the big one, Video of the Year — and are set to perform to an audience whose demographic can skew older than their current fanbase.

"Well, to the average adult, all their music may just seem like bubblegum — but when you really look at it, they've clearly grown," Kabeer Maholtra, a publicist at Girlie Action Media & Marketing, said. "They've made the move from Disney-only. They'll be playing the VMAs, which obviously has an older age demographic than Disney, so they're expanding from tweens to early teens." Girlie Action worked with the Jonas Brothers before they hooked up with Disney in early 2007.

"They also seem to have an instinctive ability to market themselves — each of them has their own look that is pretty well-defined," he continued. "They're going to have long-term success because all three of them are vital to the band's popularity."

This is obviously a huge year for the guys, and the VMA nominations could be the thing that launches them into the pop-culture stratosphere. Joe Jonas recognizes this as well: "It's a first year for a lot of things for us, so we just want to thank the fans."

While the group originally said they'd be "Burnin' Up" the VMA stage with their hit single, reps now say their song choice for the show is top secret.

The media are also excited about the Jonas Brothers, who are already sensations in the tabloid press. "I definitely think the Jonas Brothers are capable of breaking out of their teen-pop bubble," David Caplan, staff editor at People,, told MTV News. "They're a very marketable group, and their reach extends not only to teenybopper girls, but they still have fans [who are] guys and they've managed to keep their relevance because of all these other projects. They are emerging as a franchise."

With the possibility of street credibility on the horizon, these guys are ready to take over the music industry. "The VMAs are going to increase their visibility with the music community and those who perceive them as the male equivalent of a Miley Cyrus," Caplan added.

Could VMA weekend be the right time for the Jonas Brothers to leave their Disney image behind and push through to the mainstream? Only time will tell, but if teenage girls have their way, it just might happen.

Answer 11

Answer 12

They do that?? I would say NO!

Answer 13

if jonas bros cover american pie.

SUICIDE,

Answer 14

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  DO YOU HEAR ME?!?!?!  The Jonas Brothers shouldn't even be thinking about the Beatles. Those little a******s who think they are just so awesome need to realize something. They are not anywhere near the caliber of the Beatles!!!!! Yes the have the same thing of popularity as the Beatles or else they have a fraction that appears to be so but they need to remember that The Beatles had actually talent to back it up and these little ******* don't

Answer 15

no.

they sound really crappy. AND THEY ARE GONNA KILL THE BEATLES' SONGS

Answer 16

NO NO NO!

I hate those guys.

If a song is going to be used in a commercial then I think it should be from the original recording. But they didn't s***w it up too badly, I didn't think they modernized it that much. But I also hated the fact that Target even used that song, before I knew the Jonas Bros sang it.

They turned Good Bye into a stupid pun. I like puns, but that was just really irritating. And I am employed by one of Targets' competitors, so I don't like them anyway.

Answer 17

The Jonas Brothers should be running for cover from the R&P community!

Answer 18

They recorded a beatles song?! What the h**l! JB shouldnt be allowed to touch good music let alone do a cover version. They shouldnt be allowed to record their own songs.

Jonas Brothers suck!

Answer 19

no they just ruined ever Beatle song living... even the ones not covered. i wouldn't even consider the jonas brothers as music

Answer 20

No because the Jonas brothers should never  make g*y music out of Beatles songs. They should destroy other songs

Answer 21

h**l to the no.
