The Janoskians are made up of Beau Brookes, Luke Brookes, Jai Brookes, Daniel Sahyounie and James Yammouni. According to the Janoskians themselves they are just a group of hopeless kids with no future taking on the streets of Melbourne! Well I don’t believe this is entirely true. Having just started their ‘Not a boy band tour’ and being chased by thousand of screaming girls I think they are looking at a very big future! They have 835,750 subscribers on their Janoskians YouTube channel and 285,849 subscribers on their Dare Sundays channel. They have a combined twitter following of 3,611,700 and in their London show some of their fans jumped on stage with them just the get a touch of them.
One of my personal favorite videos is their awkward train situations videos, in which they interact with people they have never met before and perform awkward tasks that make their viewers laugh in hysterics. Their public nuisance videos show them take on the streets and disturb people going about their daily business. They put themselves out there for everyone to see in what would be embarrassing situations for anyone else, however, they never seem to get embarrassed or back out of any of the challenges. The chemistry between the boys is amazing, you can see that they are genuinely great friends and love spending time together. Their videos make the viewers laugh in hysterics and gasp at the reactions of the public.
Not only do they pull pranks on the public they also carry out dares on their dare Sundays channel. This is where they carry out challenges such as the web sensation cinnamon challenge, however, the Janoskians take this to a whole new level and carry out more dangerous challenges like the BB gun challenge. In this they pick out a body part in which they get shot and pick out a distance from which they get shot. They have also done a pepper spray challenge in which they got sprayed with pepper spray in the face for 2 seconds. Nearly every dare Sundays videos contains Beau and Daniel (sometimes the others) vomiting, which also makes some of the viewers gag along with them. Although these are dangerous challenges you can see the love and support the boys show to each other and how much they care for each other.
Another part of their act are their mockumentaries and although they are meant to be silly sketches, they show off some of the boys real acting talent and creativity to come up with new and funny ideas. They also sing and have released two singles, ‘Set this world on fire’ and ‘Best friends’, when I first heard about these song s I didn’t have very high expectations and although I knew some members of Janoskians could sing I wasn’t sure how the songs would turn out. However, when I listened to the songs I was blown away, they have good lyrics and great singing. I now have the song on my phone and on repeat.
However like with every great act there comes criticism. The Janoskians have been criticised for their reckless, dangerous and juvenile behaviour, and pushing their boundaries too far, media commentator Prue MacSween stated that, "Their act - if you can call it that - is so juvenile, and I think really irresponsible. It's astounding the power of the internet now. It just tells you that this global audience can be viral and suddenly nobodies with very little talent can suddenly be known by the world." However I couldn’t disagree more with this comment, the Janoskians make sure everything is alright with their victims afterwards and fully explain why they are doing what they are doing. This, to me, shows maturity and responsibility.
I feel I should show some credit to the making of the videos, the videos are edited amazingly and show the talent of whoever edits the videos.
All in all I believe that these boys are real gentle man and although some people may disagree with me I believe they are great role models. Although they have bad language and regularly make sex jokes, they always have time to spend with their fans and are respectful to each other and their family. They care for each other and are respectful to their managers and others who are trying to help their career.
I really recommend checking the Janoskians out on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/Janoskians/videos
