The Jonas Brothers ignited the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday, commanding the stage for the halftime show of the NFL's first-ever game in Australia.

Additionally, a subset of viewers voiced dissatisfaction with the group's cover of 'You're The Voice' and the brevity of their set.
The Jonas Brothers, who have achieved global success with over 20 million albums sold and recently earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, concluded their Melbourne performance with a thank you message to the city and the NFL.
