Burnin' Up

I am a fan of the Jonas Brothers, and while I do like this song, as I listened to it, I wondered...why does this sound so strangely familiar? I felt like I'd heard it before.

And then, it hit me.

Seems the Jo Bros have taken a few lessons out of the Maroon 5 school of rock. The young musicians newest song has a very Maroon-esque style to it, like the new beat and most noticeable of all is how the Jo Bros have taken to using a new vocal sound, getting higher at certain points that give a very obvious nod to the talented Adam Levine's trademark sound.

I do give the boys kudos for choosing such a great band to emulate, but I also must express my disappointment in how far they went. They sound almost too similar. Listen to both songs at these points ("Makes Me Wonder" at 0:46 -and- "Burnin' Up" at 0:26), which are the choruses of both songs, and you'll see what I mean.

Tip of the hat or copycat? You decide.

This song is unbelieveable!!! in a good way!!! It is very up-beat and one of the only words i can describe it as is WOW!!!
