The Jonas Brothers may think they are invincible, but like Danny Bonaduce and Britney Spears, they will meet the same end as other child stars.In a recent interview with Barbara Walters, Kevin, Joe and Nick had their egos fed while Walters brought the reality to the surface. She asked them questions pertaining to their future in show business.At one point in the interview, the brothers were asked to describe one another. Kevin described Joe as “Mick Jagger-esque.” Walters looked stunned.The frontman for the Rolling Stones should never be compared to an abstinence-supporting kid whose origins are with the Disney Channel.Jagger and The Rolling Stones have made it into the Guinness Book of World Records for having the most successful music tour and claim one of the most popular images in the world — the infamous tongue.     Essentially, the brothers are stating their expectations to be     remembered forever. But “fad groups” don’t last very long.Walters described leaving the band and trying a solo career like Justin Timberlake, who has met an incredible amount of success. The Jonas Brothers swear they won’t break off and form separate musical careers despite the patterns created before them by other boy bands, such as the Jackson 5 and ‘N Sync.Chelsea Handler, the host of E!’s “Chelsea Lately,” commented on the Walters’ interview.”Why does everyone always think they’re different?” Handler said. “Watch VH1’s ‘American Teen Idol’ where they show all these people who are washed up.”It’s true that boy bands have a short shelf life. It isn’t wrong to be optimistic, but it’s wrong to not be realistic. Disappointment may be imminent for the brothers because they believe they’ll be selling out concerts — and movie theaters — until they are old men.The limelight will only grace someone for so long. Eventually, everybody becomes old news.Though Spears has experienced a wealth of achievements, she’s barely hanging on. Her exclusive, in-depth interview on MTV, “Britney: For the Record,” shows a scared and confused girl pushing herself into the spotlight again.Most Americans witnessed Spears’ mental breakdown and fall from pop princess to nutty celebrity. While rumors circulated of alleged drug abuse and a severe mental condition, she cleaned up and forced herself into the music studio for two albums. “Blackout” has sold only 942,000 as of January 2009 and “Circus” sold 505,000 in its release week in early December.Spears is a classic “child star” example. Difficult times are packaged with fame and fortune. While she was once dubbed the next Madonna, Spears is definitely struggling to reclaim her position at the top.These boys believe they will last forever. They told Walters they’re aware they won’t be teen idols until the end of time, but their present fans will be “there forever.” A consistent fan base is important for any celebrity, but tween girls will move on.The star-struck kids are overdosing on the idea of “celebrity.” Posters plastered on walls and “Burnin’ Up” on repeat can’t last. It’s best for these young boys to man up and understand the reality of fame.We can’t all be the Beatles or Mozart. Most even attempting a music career will fail. However, playing music for pleasure and an unrealistic goal of infamy are two different things.—-Contact Ashley Norsworthy at [email protected]
