What Did Barbara Walters' Interview with the Jonas Brothers Reveal?
The Jonas Brothers Interviewed on February 22, 2009 for "The Barbara Walters Special"
Barbara Walters interviewed The Jonas Brothers on Oscar Night, February 22, 2009, for "The Barbara Walters Special" on ABC. What did Barbara's interview really reveal about America's most popular singing siblings?Jonas Brothers' Accomplishments
Barbara Walters started her interview calling the Jonas Brothers "real brothers who are the three biggest names to capture the hearts of adolescent girls this century." Walters referred to the recent accomplishments of the Jonas Brothers: headlining the American Music Awards, singing for outgoing President Bush as well as the incumbent first family, performing at the Grammy Awards with Stevie Wonder, and other honors.
Jonas Brothers' Beginnings
Walters discussed how the Jonas Brothers got off to more than one false start as first Nick, and then the Jonas Brothers group, recorded albums that flopped. All three Jonas Brothers did commercials growing up. Then the Jonas Brothers found an audience on the internet, and their big break came when they appeared on the "Hannah Montana" show, followed by going on tour with Miley Cyrus. Today, as Barbara Walters said, "Team Jonas is living the dream."
Jonas Brothers' Faith
Lightly scratching the surface of the fact the Jonas Brothers grew up in a devoutly Christian home and come from a faith-based family which is now based in Dallas, TX, Barbara Walters did mention that Kevin Jonas, Sr. taught the Gospel and everyone in the Jonas family was in the church choir growing up. When Barbara Walters asked Mrs. Jonas how the family balanced faith with the life of rock stars, Mrs. Jonas replied, "Every gift the boys have came from the Lord."
Jonas Brothers' Purity Rings
When Barbara Walters asked the Jonas Brothers what the silver band, which all three brothers wear as purity rings, represents, Joe Jonas responded that the purity ring means "We will treat ladies with respect and be gentlemen, and do our best to make our mom proud." The brothers pointed out that they are family based and go home to the tour bus with their mother every night. These Jonas boys really are clean, wholesome role models for teens and tweens.

Thanks for the recap :) Sheri
Great piece. I see there's a lot of interest in the Jonas Brothers.
This is a great write up and they are such a good role model for all, fun read! I am back now feel a little better we shall see.
May God keep them strong, as they stand for Him. May He help them to profess their faith even more boldly than ever before.
I associate her with making celebs relive painful memories until they cry. I saw a few minutes of it- the part about their church. The old home videos show they're born performers.
Good write up.
Wow! I didn't know this about them! A 12-y.o. friend of my daughter's loves the Jonas Brothers and I didn't know much about them. It's sooooo refreshing to read about young people who are making the effort to stand for Christian values.
Thanks for writing this. I taped the BW show but haven't watched it. I wanted to delete it - really or making I'll just skim through and fast forward.
I've heard of these brothers, but couldn't pick them out of a crowd! It's nice to hear about Christian teen role models, though. Good write-up!
Good to know they're Christians.
