Miley Cyrus, “Camp Rock” and Avril Lavigne.
Those are just a few of the things The Jonas Brothers are thankful for in 2008.
The brothers – Nick, Kevin and Joe – took to their MySpace blog to offer up a list of the things they are most thankful for over the past 12 months, which saw the boys shoot from tween sensations to full fledged global superstars.
“What a year this has been. There are probably not enough words to describe what an amazing year we have lived in 2008,” they wrote. “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.”
Besides worldwide success, 2008 was also a year full of accolades for the brothers – all of which they expressed thanks for.
“Our first ever Kids Choice Award for Best Group… Our first ever Teen Choice Awards… We won an award for Best English act in Mexico… We won our first American Music Award (AMA) for Breakthrough Artist. It was your votes that allowed us to win,” the blog continued. “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.”
The brothers Jonas also gave a shout out to fellow Disney star Miley Cyrus, nothing they were thankful for “the opportunity to be on the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus tour” and were appreciative of pop rocker Avril Lavigne, who provided the band their “first opportunity to tour outside the U.S.” opening up for Avril in Europe.
Looking forward, the band said they are excited for what’s to come in 2009, including their new show for the Disney Channel, “JONAS.”
“We can’t wait for you to see it,” they said of their new TV series. “We have been working had on this since September.”
In concluding their final blog post of 2008, the Jonas brothers offered thanks to Disney, their record label and, most importantly to them, their fans.
“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,” they added. “You are the best fans in the world. Thanks for allowing us to live our dreams.”
