Nick Jonas Obviously Sees Himself as the Justin Timberlake of The Jonas Brothers

nick-jonas-and-the-administration-who-i-am
What are we to make of Nick Jonas’ solo adventure? Is “Who I Am” the start of a Nicole Scherzinger-style detour? Or is it his “Like I Love You“? The brothers have tried to quell fan freakouts by describing his new Nashville-rooted album (with new band The Administration) as a side project, but can a real live solo career really be ruled out?

Based on the bright but ham-fisted sample released today, Joe and Kevin probably aren’t worrying. Would you be? Preview “Who I Am”—presumably an example of what Nick has called “heart and soul” music—on the other side: MORE »


The Jonas Brothers’ Non-Breakup: A Comment Section Reacts

58081281Rumors that the Jonas Brothers were breaking up, fueled by the boys going in different directions during some recent downtime, were summarily squashed by the brothers via a MySpace blog post last night. The post did note that Nick Jonas is going to release a Nashville-recorded solo album, Nick Jonas & The Administration, early next year. (”If I was to describe the sound to someone,” wrote Nick, “I would say its [sic] ‘heart & soul’, because the music that I make is from my heart, and the lyrics I write are from my soul.” Thanks for clearing that up!) And as such, it garnered pages and pages of heart- and support-filled comments from the JoBro faithful, who apparently wanted to live up to the “best fans in the world” tag that was bestowed upon them in the blog post: MORE »


Attention Aspiring Bridezilla-Fameballs: Here Are Six Songs That You Can Use For “Dancing Down The Aisle” Purposes

g-tdy-090724-bride-danceh2-230x1191The much-ballyhooed video featuring a soon-to-be-married couple and their wedding party dancing down the aisle to Chris Brown’s “Forever” has just passed the 10-million-view mark, leaving some chart success for the song (which is still in the iTunes Store’s top 10 as of this writing) in its wake. Perhaps more important than Brown’s career being revived by two people who are not on his payroll, though, is the effect that this clip will have on soon-to-be-married people who want their weddings to be just as special and media-frenzy-like as the blessed union of Kevin Heinz and Jill Peterson. To that end, Idolator presents six songs that could help you, soon-to-be-wedded person, turn your Big Day into a Viral Event. (NB: If you do use one of these suggestions, I accept invitations via e-mail!) MORE »


Joe Jonas Shows Why Drumming Should Be Left To The Professionals

joejonasFriday night’s Jonas Brothers show in Philadelphia was marked by a horrible accident in which Joe Jonas decided to show off his drumming skills while his brother Nick was behind the band’s kit—and wound up coming down on the skins just in time to injure one of Nick’s drumming-hands in the process. Sibling rivalry gone wrong, or just a sign that Joe should stick to being “the cute one”? Or both? Footage of the incident, and its aftermath, after the jump. MORE »


News Of Jonas Brother’s Engagement Sends Many Systems Into Overload

kevindanielleAs of this writing, there are 4,168 comments on the blog post announcing Kevin Jonas’ engagement to his longtime girlfriend Danielle Deleasa. (It was written by the parents of Kevin and his fellow Jonas Brothers Joe and Nick.) As you might expect, the reactions from the MySpace faithful that have come in since the news broke last night have been somewhat mixed! A sampling after the jump. MORE »


The Jonas Brothers: Amplified Well Enough To Be Heard Over Thousands Of Tween Screams


This morning the Jonas Brothers appeared on Today, causing ?uestlove to note that he could hear the screams of some 11,000 young ladies (give or take a few, I’d guess) from blocks and blocks away. However, those screams weren’t loud enough to be heard over the boys’ performance of “Lovebug” (not to mention the somewhat Gokey-ish yowl one of the Brothers reeled off during said song’s instrumental break). And I should note that the fans hanging around 30 Rockefeller Plaza were quite well-behaved compared to the crazed devotees who swooped down on the Brothers while they were at a movie premiere in Brazil recently. That harrowing story comes after the jump! MORE »

Teen Choice Awards Engage In A Bit Of Prediction

jobrosNominees for the surfy Teen Choice Awards were announced today, and the music-related categories were dominated by the usual suspects–GaGa, Kanye, Beyonce, Britney, Taylor. And leading the pack of nominees for Teen Choice Album is the Jonas Brothers’ Lines, Vines, And Trying Times–a neat trick, since the album doesn’t come out until tomorrow. It couldn’t be because the Bros Jo are hosting the show, could it? Or that there’s a huge honking banner ad for Lines right on the show’s official site? How could I even think that such an upstanding network like Fox would engage in these sorts of shenanigans with a trio that they’ve collectively nominated for Choice Male Hottie? Full list of music-related nominees after the jump. MORE »


The Jonas Brothers: Assisting In The Liberation Of Irving Plaza?

jonasbrothersTime to bust out siren.jpg: The Jonas Brothers are playing a free show in New York City tonight, where they’ll preview tracks from their forthcoming album Lines, Vines, and Trying Times for a crowd of fever-pitched fans, who will get in on a first-come, first-served basis. (And I’d already made plans to hang out in the Union Square area anyway! Awesome!) In addition to the idea that I might be able to get tickets, of particular interest to me is just where Billboard says this show is happening: MORE »


singlejonasThe Jonas Brothers’ official YouTube channel was yanked from the service briefly over the weekend, and the rumor is that it was yanked because Sony BMG does not take kindly to people repurposing its copyrights for flights of fancy like the “Joe Jonas Dances To ‘Single Ladies’” video. Everything is apparently back now, although I’m guessing this kerfuffle will kill the possibility of Nick donning beaded-curtain shades and taking on the clip for “Diva.” [Music Is The Heart Of Our Soul] MORE »
