The hottest and most popular group of teenage heartthrobs of the moment, the Jonas Brothers, made the best out of their Sunday sold-out gig at the First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre. They proved once again they should not be credited only for making 12-year-olds faint and 16-year-olds scream. Of course, the faints and screams did not lack. But they did have quite a performance, while the tickets to the show were almost reaching Miley Cyrus-like huge prices.

Nick, 15, Joe, 19, and Kevin Jonas, 20, showed they’ve got what it takes to make the crowds go crazy. Notwithstanding the fact that the age segment of their admirers rarely surpasses 17 and that their fans are predominantly girls, they did show everyone that the Jonas Brothers is a group that means more than just three pretty faces and teenage icons.

They’ve got talent, too, although they usually aren’t acclaimed for their musical aptitudes.

Among desperate girlish shouts and cries, the bros were able to prove Chicago they were much more than some ‘N Sync wannabes. The youngest member of the group played the hit “A Little Bit Longer” alone on the grand piano, while Joe belted “Gotta Find You” over his brothers’ sparse acoustic guitar work.

Their on-stage performance was accompanied by a really good backing band, complete with six violins and two cellos, also leaving sufficient space and time for some gymnastics and tap dancing.

The show did have several minuses, such as the not-so-good cover of country singer Shania Twain’s “I’m Gonna Getcha Good,” but the screams and rounds of applauses made the incident pass unnoticed.
