PRO: The New Jersey trio racked up more than $60 million worth of allowance money last year. Plus, they're remarkably scandal-free (we looked).

CON: Teen-pop fans are notoriously fickle — they're devotees one day, jaded turncoats the next. And the boys have yet to break through to an adult audience, which could give them treasured credibility.
