why jobro fans can't have nice things....

Good. So when are her and Nick getting married?

 

[DramaQueen]

women threw their underwear at rockstars long before nick jonas was ever even a though in his parents mind. hell, probably before his parents were a thought in THEIR parents minds.

totally.
just watched an elvis documentary for his 75th bday and he got bras & undies thrown at him nightly!!
...he also kissed woman who 'rushed' the stage on the lips (but they rushed the stage 'politely'...as in ran to the front, not jumped up on stage) oh how times have changed.

You just illustrated a great point, though: the line between the two. Your example, IMO, crosses the line.

Dedication: purchasing expensive tickets, camping out- I can understand that.

Craziness/unhealthily obsessed: dressing as the bride of Jonas

There's an obvious division between the two. Crazy is crossing into a separate realm. Dedication might be purchasing merchandise and making a point to see them, because you're a dedicated fan. But dressing as a bride of Jonas does NOT make someone dedicated, it just makes her a little too obsessed- to the point where reality has been blurred.

I have camped out for tickets once. (I prefer the internet. Box Office has stupid raffle system)

I have purchased expensive tickets once. (I sat alone and had a great view. It was worth it IMO)

I have never dressed as "The Bride of Jonas" or anything like that. I never have even dressed in crazy outfits for concerts. I prefer to wear nice cute clothes instead.

not the point. all these fans want are there two minutes with these boys. we've all had a favorite band/ singer who we've wanted to meet. all these girls want to be noticed by them. it's like a having a crush on someone. no different then high school on that level.

What people don't understand sometimes, even if their all up in the moment, people lack the fact that these musicians are only people, they're just people like us...but more so, because they write music, play in bands, play in concerts, and so on and so forth.

But, that's just insane, and plus a few spoil it for the many when things like this happen.

Dressing as someone's bride is definitely going to get you a date, you're right. It's exactly like high school.

But yes, if someone wants attention, negative or positive, I guess it doesn't matter if the opposite party thinks you're a nutter.

You mean like going up to somebody and touching them, but then saying it's ok I just like you a lot. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

i couldn't hear the video. it was a dull roar of estrogen, sorry. but how many girls did he pick to call on stage? i saw teh first girl get escorted by the man in the black jacket. and then all of a sudden there were fifty girls on the stage, and they were all mobbing around him trying to take pictures.

also, i sort of feel like nick jonas is pretty famous, and he's famous enough to have the security guards who would not let that kind of nonsense happen. the first uninvited girl should have been taken off stage, not allowed to mob the star.

it's ALL about getting attention, thats what all these girls want. i've seen the Jonas brothers several times... and every girl in the audience wants to be noticed. i mean who doesn't want to be noticed by a cute guy/girl every once in a while?

does this shine a positive light on the matter?

thats great. next time i have a crush, i'll just attack them. that'll work.

just like all of those girls are going to be mrs. nick jonas someday. you don't disrespect anyone you "lurve" that way. its insane, its stupid, and it makes you look crazy. thats not being a fan. being a fan insinuates you like them, you don't disrespect the people you like, let alone assault them.

So why does attention seeking justify practically assaulting a singer?

I'm sorry, I do not see the logic. I highly doubt, should he get married, he'd end up with an obsessed fan.

I believe he was going to invite about 3 or 4 girls onstage.

ITA about the security. The security on his tour seems to be pretty lax, as 2 girls have supposedly manged to sneak past and go into his dressing room.

I've got 10 bucks on all JB's going with a supermodel. lol

shelby, i read it was 3 girls he invited.

and i completely agree with everyone who thinks this is an issue about respect, i cannot for the life of me understand the other side of that argument.

everyone want's to be the biggest fan. i'll be the first one to tell you that. it's a show-offy type thing. one girls been to three concerts, another to 4. and that girl over there met them. it's about bragging rights.

how does that relate at all to the topic at hand? sure, they invited a sick girl back stage. but she was NOT one of the girls to attack the poor boys.

WHY do they think he'd be okay with sneaking into a dressing room? Do they think he'll just sit down and have a little chat with them?

I'd be terrified if two crazed strangers found their way into my dressing room. Security and a rape whistle, please.

Bragging rights > an individual's right to privacy/not being attacked.

That doesn't make any sense.
