I totally see where you are coming from here. I haven't really been a dedicated fan since the early days, but I knew about them. I first heard "Year 3000" on Radio disney probably late 2006/early 2007, and I thought, hey these guys are good. I told my dad about them and he loved them, along with my little sister. So they went out and bought "It's About Time". I listened to a few songs, but that was it. They constantly told me how amazing they were, so they were super pschyed when they found out the boys would be performing at Six Flags parks (we used to have connections). That was when "Hold On" started getting popular, and I liked it. So we saw them on 7/05 (we would have seen them in august too, but my parents were on vacation-and i was a huge fan by then). But we sat way in the back, simply because we didn't feel the need to be up front. Oh, what a mistake that was. As the show went on I kept thinking, man, I want to be up there with all that energy!!! I loved the way they performed, they were so energetic and so into the show. So after the show I realized that these guys are really good. Over the next few weeks I did research, realized their CD would be coming out soon, found this site, and watched their hilarious videos. We bought their CD the day it came out, and then I started listening to It's About Time, loved it. And I loved Jonas Brothers, of course. I was so angry that we couldn't see them again, because we could've met them!!! I'm still mad that my parents went on vacation that week!! Ok, so I guess im fine now. But it was a big deal then. I joined this site September 14th: ) because I just wanted to talk to fellow fans.
So I guess I could say I've had OJD for 1 whole year. Yay!!! And I've known about them for atleast a year and a half, im not exactly sure...
And all these fake fans....it drives me nuts!! Like at the concert I went to, we had bad seats, but I was glad we weren't in lawn. And these girls in front and behind us were TEXTING AND TALKING THE ENTIRE TIME!!! I was like, come on, are you serious! They didn't know many words to the songs, and I was like, some true fans deserve those seats.
And I go to school the next day, and this girl is bragging about how she met them and had front row. She only liked them because of their looks.
All those fans who have supported them since the beginning deserve to meet them.
I am so happy for the boys, but I just wish I could go to more shows(ive been to 3), meet them, and just stuff like that. I want more fan gear, but I can't afford it! But I still support them and do what I can. I mean, I bought 3 copies of their new album, just so I could get 1 bonus thing on each one. That's what I will do for them. Some people who went to the concert didn't even own the album. Haha, on the way there we held up a sign that said "Did YOU buy the new Jonas Brothers album?" It was sooo much fun. The police officer smiled, and these 2 older guys gave us a thumbs up. It was so funny. Then the fans waved furiously, which we did back. And I wonder how many people went out and bought the album, just because they were curious. haha, that would be awesome.
Wow, this is becoming a long post.
But I just can't even describe how I feel about this whole situation. I guess I just wish that sometimes the fake fans would let the real ones have a chance. I would never say I didn't want the boys to become this successful, but I do hope that the craziness dies down and they get back to the people like us, who know they have 3 albums, who know about this website, who know how hard they've worked, and who know that we've done a part in supporting them. I want them to be able to thank the people who really made a difference in their careers.
I would never think of climbing on their roof, chasing their tourbus, or something crazy like that. I do freak out when I hear them on the radio, or see something with them on it, and I'm not afraid to show my Jonas pride. I'm a crazy fan- but I don't go over the top and put myself in danger.
Now, some newer fans are obsessed and true fans. I don't want to say that anyone new isn't a fan when they support the boys as much as we do. But you know, without you older fans, nobody now would know of them.
Yet I think I might cry when I meet them. Just because they've done so much for me, especially right now because I'm going through some things. And meeting them would be so surreal.
Either that or I would say nothing but smile and laugh. But yet when I met Demi and hung with her for a while, I was totally cool. Ok, so my smile didn't fade a bit, but I talked to her like a normal person. I didn't want to leave, because I wanted to just talk to her about random stuff! we were having so much fun talking and laughing. I've been a Demi fan for quite a while, so someday when she's huge and famous, I can say I met her and I've supported her from the start. I think I have Obsessive Demi Disorder- gosh, I love that girl.
So it's hard to say how I would react if I met the Jonas Brothers.
And I see them as Kevin, Joe, and Nick. 3 guys form New Jersey. I know they are total dorks. I laugh at them sometimes, just because of what they are wearing or how they are acting. Like I couldn't stop laughing at Nick in the Disney Channel games. He took everything so serious. And he pulled his sock up high. Haha, I found it amusing. Now don't think im trying to make fun of them. Oh, and Living the Dream the other night when KEvin and Nick argued over the stage layout. That was funny. I could so see them doing that. I can like imagine what they would do in a situation. You know those questions that are like, "Which brother is the most ___?" I usually have the same answer as they do.
I like them because of their personalities. Some people hate Kevin- that's impossible!! He is the sweetest guy! Now, I don't know that for sure since I've never met him. That's other thing I hate- when people think they know them when they've never met them. I guess I'm a hypocrite for saying that, but in my head I still know I can't say these things truthfully, because I haven't met them.
But I can say that I love them, cause there is no doubt I do.
And I guess I'm not really an early fan. My support has grown as they have.
But you know, we will have to deal. Someday all this fan craziness will die down. And the ones who were with them since the beginning will be with them then.
So I guess we'll have to wait until then.
And if you read this, you are probably crazy. Haha, just kidding: )
