His older brother, Kevin, 20, speculated that Brand miscalculated the audience. "I think he focused on certain things and didn't move off of them," he said. "People's attention spans in America need more than that."

And the boys didn't let Brand's comments spoil their night. The trio, who performed their single "Lovebug" during the show, just let it slide off their backs. "We had a lot of friends there and everybody's so nice. We had a good time," Kevin added.

And [article id="1594334"]Paris Hilton also defended[/article] the group after the show. She said, "I don't pick on them. That's something cool for a kid to keep, so don't pick on them for that."
