Boy Band Showdown: Hanson Brothers vs. Jonas Brothers
Posted on March 26, 2009
Which one of these famous family pop bands is the best?
Most of the Jonas Brother’s fans out there were still wearing diapers when Hanson was rocking out to die hard fans worldwide.
Hanson broke out with famous songs like “MMMBop” “Where’s the love” and “Weird” in 1997. These songs came out with their major label debut album Middle of Nowhere that earned three Grammy nominations.
The three brothers Clarke Isaac Hanson, Jordan Taylor Hanson and Zachary Walker Hanson became instant celebrities and had little girls and boys gleefully jumping into the air dancing to their music.
Fast forward to present day and Hanson has gone off the map to make babies. The Jonas Brothers however have become the next big thing in the pop industry. The Disney channel prodigies have made three albums so far and are way too popular. I personally can’t stand their music but I do believe I am outside of their target market. So what is it about these bands that have the little girls drooling over them? Is it the fact that they have virgin purity rings? (That’s a whole other story to get into). I really have no idea but apparently they have “great music…”
So getting to it, which one of these boy bands are/were more popular in their time? I think the ultimate showdown would be a celebrity death match between the two bands. Hanson would probably kick some serious A** now that they don’t look like girls but what do you guys think?
Here’s what some other celebrity bloggers had to say about these two boy bands –
Bumpshack.com - “The only difference between Hanson and the Jonas Brothers is chicks. The Jonas Brothers have dated Miley, Taylor Swift, and several other hot and popular teens. These relationships might have been manufactured by their handlers so they could cross over and help propel each other’s careers, but it gave the Jonas Brothers sex appeal to a younger generation of women. Hanson might have also become just as big if they had been backed by the Disney machine. Instead they were mostly one and done in the industry. Their big hit Mmmbob was huge but in a way sort of type cast them as pop-bop musicians, even when they released more serious music on later albums. Jonas or Hanson it doesn’t matter, because no modern day band of brothers will ever compare to the Jackson 5 from the early 70’s.”
Celebridiot.com- “I think if Hanson had Disney they would have been unstoppable, those girls were cuties. You’ll see, once they get a maxim spread they will be back.”
Err… I don’t want to disappoint you but they are actually dudes. Fear not though, Quagmire from Family Guy thought the same thing.
Hollywire.com - “The Jonas Brothers are this generation’s Hanson. After all, they are a band made up of 3 brothers, except instead of looking like three blonde girls a la Hanson, they are three brunette, fashion forward guys. You have the youngest brother Nick, who is the cuddly-cute one, Joe the middle brother, who is the more mature, technically “hot” one, and then, there is Kevin, the oldest and most unfortunate looking one. It’s always the oldest ones who get no love. Same story with Isaac Hanson. Old apparently equals ugly in preteen land. Not only did Disney find 3 boys for teeny boppers to fall in love with, but they found three “pure” boys, as in, they all wear promise rings to remain pure until marriage. Now what parent would turn their little girl away from these very nice, respectable, well-rounded young men who promote abstinence?? ” – lexacahn
Those Hanson “brothers” were way hotter then the Jonas Bros. But maybe I’m biased because I’m from the pre-Jonas generation. -ksouthall
BittenandBound.com – “I gotta go with Hanson – such brilliant lyricists.
Mmm bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du
It just doesn’t get any better than that. Simply Amazing.”

Hanson easily. The Jonas Brothers don’t even come close.
Hanson’s debut single “MMMBop” topped the charts in about 30 different country’s, and from what I can see, Jonas Brothers have had mixed success outside the US, and certainly not had the sort of hit like “MMMBop” which everybody knows.

Hanson. No contest. Their first single topped the charts in 27 countries and also topped the most prestigious critics poll in the US. And they WROTE (NOT co-wrote) it when they were all still children! They have also sold about 15 million records worldwide, compared to the Jonas Brothers’ 8 million. Even though the JoBros have the mighty Disney corporation propping them up, Hanson have bested them in every way possible.

Hanson all the Way! Hanson fans have been around for 12 years. I seriously doubt Jonas Brothers will have that long of a fan base. They are Disney Fad until something else comes along.
Yes Hanson sings the song MMMBop. But That song is so timeless. Jonas Brothers have not a number 1 single according to Billboard Music Chart.
Hanson are not about the Merchandise. They don’t put their faces on pencil sharpeners. It seems that Jonas brothers are more about what can I sell. Hanson are about the Music and have always been about the music. No matter if Hanson has a song on the radio or not they will always be number 1! They don’t need to sell out to Disney crap to have success.
Hanson has had the Number 1 Independent album with “Underneath” in 2004 from their own label 3CG Records. Hanson Concerts still sell out. They are doing what they love and the fans love them. Married with Kids. They will always be Hanson to the true Fansons!
Most of Jonas brothers fans are about how the guys look. That’s fine. But it won’t last because they will find someone else to crush on.

Let’s have some indie Jonas…and then we can talk…lets see what all of u JB fans are made of. Because if u guys think Jonas are famous u should have been around in the 90’s…I dont even like any of these bands but i was there when the pop hell started and let me tell you there’s not such thing as “JB mayhem” times are sooo diferent now (thank God)and if u guys think u invented breathing look back and see how ridiculous was back then…Hanson, BSB, Nsync and stuff like that were real mayhem…but anyways just posting lol enjoy any kind of music that you listen to. And instead of fighting shout out for the fans that are commited and follow music till the end of the road.

Hanson is, always has been, and always will be the more respectable band. The Jonas Brothers seem like nice guys, but they are clearly a Disney product. Disney is milking them dry–a music career, a movie and now a television show, along with silly merchandise with their photos plastered on them… Hanson would never sell out that way because they are about the MUSIC. =)

I was about 5 years when Hanson was the hit, and I still love them even to this day…The Jonas bros are okay too. But big up to Hanson!
