4.2.13 - New Music - Jonas Brothers

I have never been the biggest Jonas Brothers fan (although I am VERY excited to see the rumored Joe Jonas sex tape – apparently homegirl is a FREAK), but I guess it’s nice to see them come back. America loves a comeback!

The brothers’ latest single, “Pom Poms” is a mixed bag if I’ve ever heard one. A full marching band sound is always welcome in my book, and I like that it is only done once a year or two; I would absolutely overload if someone tried this game every few months. Musically the song works, and it has a great energy. We’ll be hearing this at halftime shows and in commercials during NFL games for years, no matter how popular it actually turns out to be.

Vocally I think Joe isn’t the best – especially that last-minute high-reaching screech? Yikes. And while there is enough energy to convince any team to storm the field coming out of those tubas, does the chorus really match it? “Come on baby put your pom poms down for me”? I’m not sold on the lyrics here.

Now we sit back and see how the world (AKA single sales and radio play) react.
