GOODBYE 2008 – HELLO 2009
Category: Music

Hey everyone!

What a year this has been. There are probably not enough words to describe what an amazing year we have lived in 2008. It feels like we were just sitting here writing a blog for the end of 2007. Time has really moved faster than we could have imagined.

As we end the year we wanted to list some of the things we are thankful for in 2008 (and a few things we are excited about for 2009)

In 2008 we are thankful for:

The opportunity to be on the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus tour and the HM 3D movie (which opened at Number 1)

The When You Look Me in the Eyes Tour which started in February.

Our first ever Kids Choice Award for Best Group

Our first ever Teen Choice Awards. You made it possible for us to get 5 awards.

Our first opportunity to tour outside the US. WE opened for Avril Lavigne in Europe. It was a great opportunity to meet people from all over Europe.

The launch of Camp Rock in the US and around the world.

Radio playing our songs – This year they played When You Look Me in the Eyes, Burnin’ Up, and LoveBug.

Our videos were well received – WYLMITEs, Burnin’ Up and LoveBug and you guys made them successful on TV and especially online.

We did a short reality series for the Disney Channel called Jonas Brothers – Living the Dream. They followed us on our WYLMITEs tour.

We had a wonderful summer tour with The Burning Up Tour. We started in Canada and toured all over the US. It was amazing from beginning to end. Some of the highlights included, 3 Madison Square Gardens, release week for our ALBL CD, playing at Woodstock, Toronto, etc.

During the tour we filmed our 3D movie. A lot of you might find yourself in the movie because we filmed it on most of the Burning Up Tour.

We visited MuchMusic in Canada following the European premiere of Camp Rock. It was a total surprise to see that many people in Canada that knew about our music. We can’t wait to visit more of Canada on our next tour.

We released on new CD, A Little Bit Longer, around the world. It debuted Number 1 on the US Billboard Chart.

We released our 2 CDs and Camp Rock around the world.

Jonas Brothers and A Little Bit Longer have gone Gold or Platinum in 27 nations outside the US (not inlcuding Camp Rock). All 3 CDs went Platinum in the US.

We started filming our new TV show for the Disney Channel called JONAS. We can’t wait for you to see it. We have been working hard on this since September.

We won our first American Music Award (AMA) for Breakthrough Artist. It was your votes that allowed us to win.

We release our first book of photos from the last couple years that made it to Number 1 on the New York Times Bestsellers List for its category.

We won an award for Best English act in Mexico. Then we went back for our first stadium show.

At the end of the year we were nominated for a Best New Artist Grammy. We don’t even know what to say about this honor. It is a complete shock and thrill all at the same time.

This has been one of the best years of our lives. None of this would have been possible without you. You have made our dreams come true.

Thank you Disney, Hollywood Records, TV, radio, film, etc. But most of all THANK YOU!!!!

Looking ahead to 2009…

In February you can see our new 3D movie

Later in the year we will debut our Disney Channel how, JONAS

AND…we will launch our first ever JB WORLD TOUR

Thank you, thank you, thank you

You are the best fans in the world. Thanks for allowing us to live our dreams.

JB

As their part in Avril Lavigne’s Best Damn Tour winds down, the Jonas Brothers have blogged once more about their show in Mannheim, Germany. Here’s what the boys had to say today:

Hey everyone!

We just got to our hotel after driving all night from Mannheim, Germany. This weekend we have been SO BUSY with shows and getting news from home.

The show in Belgium was amazing. The crowd was so pumped and felt like home. It was the loudest crowd yet and so many had signs and shirts. IT was encouraging that it was working here in Europe. We started hearing reports this weekend of SOS and the CD charting in some of the nations we have visited. Very exciting.

We drove to Mannheim and had a wonderful show. Our parents have good friends in Mannheim that came to visit. We spent time after the show meeting a huge group of fans.

The biggest news from the weekend was probably the Camp Rock news from back home. It was so hard to not be there during the premieres on Disney, ABC and ABC Family. We heard from family, friends, but most importantly…WE HEARD FROM YOU.

You officially made it wonderful for us. We read your comments and the posts to our last BLOG (now officially our largest blog to date). We watched YouTubes of all of you and your reactions to the songs and BURNIN’ UP VIDEO. It made our weekend.

We heard about your Camp Rock parties. Some of you posted the parties online. We watched some of them. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

We will finish this trip by the end of the week. Then we are back in North America to prepare for our BURNIN’ UP TOUR. Get your tickets if you do not have them. We want to see everyone this summer.

Also, don’t forget to let your radio stations know that you want to hear BURNIN’ UP on your local Top 40 stations or XM 20on20.

Thanks for checking in AND thanks for making this weekend special

JB
