A cast member friend won free tickets to the concert and had a fun time.  She said it was more fun watching the kids scream their heads off then watching the concert itself.  People need to learn some history while comparing these kids to the Beatles though.  It's not a kind comparison when you consider the homogenized stuff the Disney stars produce.

Disney has found the way to reproduce the popularity of the Mickey Mouse Club for today's tweens. The half-hour sitcom format, along with the contractually locked in talent have the Disney name mean something for those who are too old for Princesses and Pooh Bear. Throw in ESPN for the tween boys who are sports nuts, and you've got the demographic all but locked up.

I give them credit for knowing how to find the talent and promote the bejeezes out of them. This then makes it more enticing for other young talent to gravitate toward Disney.

Nick has yet to really figure this out. Have you tried listening to "the Naked Brothers Band"?

I was at the DC Games taping on Monday, at the parade at Disney's Hollywood Studios on Wednesday, in line for tickets to the concert on Thursday, and at the concert on Saturday- in line for over 13 hours.  I have the massive sunburn on my legs to prove it (my legs never had burned before, but I learned my lesson).

When the crowd was told to take steps back, that was not really a safety buffer zone for the performers, but for the crushed kids up front who couldn't breathe.  We were up a few rows back, but moved to the back before the concert started- it's much more fun there, and we had an amazing view.  It was such a great (and free) concert, with the artists all performing new songs (as well as a couple old ones for Miley & Jonas Brothers).  It was a fun time!  But I didn't get a free poster- I didn't even know about them...oh well.

31 years old (with two little girls) and even I think the Jonas Brothers are cool.

I'm a 15-year-old boy, big fan of the Jonas Brothers, but I think that those "tweens" are nothing more than disrespectful brats. Screaming during a performance is downright rude, and these kids scream so loud, you can't even hear the music. What's the point of going if all you're going to hear is 12-year-old girls screaming? It's ridiculous, and these kids need to be taught some manners.

Well WestCOT, I tend to agree with you -- but that's the way these things work, and have worked since Elvis first took the stage.

'sjust one reason why I don't go to many concerts these days.

Anytime you go to a show with a performer that's popular with the teenyboppers, you're not going to hear much else but screams.   Watch old Beatles vids, and I can tell you myself, it was the same when I was a teenager.
