For You Jonasholics

Filed under: Jonas Brothers

The Jonai are on the cover of the new issue of Billboard.

And, PerezHilton.com has an exclusive preview of the article!

Here's what the Brothers have to say…

On the new album:
- Catchy lead single “Burnin’ Up” is reminiscent of Maroon 5 and Justin Timberlake. It’s destined to be a crowd pleaser. It’s no coincidence that the upcoming tour takes its name from the track.
- The next single, “Love Bug,” is a complete departure for the band. Stripped down at the beginning—and featuring an interlude with the sound of Joe Jonas tap-dancing—it builds to a traditional, catchy pop ending.
- Scheduled third for release is “Shelf,” which has guitar-driven undertones much like early Weezer. Finally, there’s “A Little Bit Longer,” a ballad written by Nick Jonas out of fear and frustration when he was diagnosed three years ago with type 1 diabetes.

On song writing:
- “Pretty much we were writing all these songs when we were on tour, and we didn’t have time to go into a studio and record,” Joe Jonas says. “There’s a lot of time when you’re on the tour bus where there’s a lot of waiting around. We have like four hours in each day where we could really do something.”
- “When we’re writing together, we’re really open to each other’s ideas, which I think is really important when you’re writing songs,” Nick Jonas says. “No one can be closed-minded, because then nothing is going to work. For us, it’s really just one of our passions. It’s kind of our roots.”

On Jonas mania:
- Among Jonas merchandise, there is "even a shirt dedicated to the youngest brother, 7-year-old Frankie, the 'Bonus Jonas.'” (Frankie has his own band. They do house and club music. No kidding.)
- “We have a slogan that we say every night: ‘Living the dream, baby, living the dream,’ ” Kevin Jonas Sr. says. “We gather together and shout it out, as a group, because they get to do what very few people could even imagine and dream. But at the same time, we prioritize that they have their own time. It has to be healthy.”
- (Case in point: All three Jonas brothers were the picture of earnest, professional politeness during their Billboard interviews. Half an hour later, while talking to their father, they sounded like typical loud teenage-boy maniacs in the background.)

      I'm really excited to get this!

      You know, I don't think the boys are gay, but I get why some people say that. I'm a HUGE Jonas Brothers fan, so I love them no matter what. I think they're extremely talented, and they deserve all the success they've gotten.

      But if I saw someone walking down the street in those outfits, I really would die of laughter. & I'd probably think they were gay.

      Who dresses these Blades? They always look so ridiculously costumed to the hilt. No straight, young male, would be caught dead wearing these gaudy and Pansyish clothes. Their hair — their faces! They look RIDICULOUS!

      i love the jonas brothers.
      they pretty much rule the world.
      i mean pone :]

    72. jj. says – reply to this


      72

      it's funny how all these people come on here and say that the jonas brothers are gay.
      let's get something straight..
      first, 'gay' is not an insult.
      second, you act like they dress like this everyday. it's a photoshoot- you're supposed to go all out.
      third, they ARE talented. people seriously act like teenagers today are dumb. we know when we're being sold crap.
      fourth, don't make fun of the way they dress. how they dress is their preference, not yours.
      and lastly, don't say they suck. just because you don't care for their type of music, doesn't mean it's bad.
      15 minutes of fame my ass.
      these boys will be around for a long time.
      jonas brothers are awesome.
      :)

    73. jj. says – reply to this


      73

      and another thing..
      perez, keep doing your thing.
      don't let what people say get you down.
      it's your site- not theirs.
      you can say WHATEVER you want to!
      and to whoever said they were fake..
      you obviously know nothing about the jonas brothers.
      do your research before you start hating on people.

    74. Dani says – reply to this


      74

      they are so hawtt.
      i cant wait for the new cd!

    75. anna says – reply to this


      75

      im a fan of them but jeez those clothes are ridiculous. i can tolerate their clothing style to a certain extent and its gone overboard.
      and for all the people calling them gay.
      shut up. they've probably had more girlfriends than you ever will. and there will always be more fans of jb than haters. so your just hurting your cause.



    76. 76

      when does this come out???
      I NEED IT. hahaha
      i just bought like 7 magazines that are devoted to just jonas brothers the other day… but i neeeed this one. AAAHHH love them

      Im so excited to hear that shelf will be on the new album… there were rumors that it wasn't

      yay :)

      Re: NYer
      haha actually, they don't have the same manager as Hanson. they used to, when hanson's manager dropped hanson for them pretty much haha

      but that guy wasn't good enough for jb so they moved onto a new record label.

      but thanks for trying :)



    79. 79

      Re: the B
      haha
      if you're on facebook, there are sooooo many groups devoted to them. And as far as I know, there are no nine year olds on facebook.

      in fact, there are groups devoted to them that the only members are over 20. but good try

      Re: Brahm – im sorry you find it so retarded that ppl have morals and believe in God. just cuz ur a freakin Atheist whos goin to hell doesnt mean you have to insult ppl who are good and have clean morals. They're artists, not fuckin gangsters from the bronx who play girls like a guitar. they are gentlemen who respect girls, not sex-driven maniacs. so get used to it.

      Where did these fags come from? They are Disney whores. Manufactured superstars. No talent, off key, can't sing, can't play their instruments, can't write music without lots of help hacks.

      Another fine example that music is stale these days.

      95

      So which one is the gay one?

    96. nicol says – reply to this


      96

      okay. ive had it with the 'gay' insults.
      BEING GAY IS NOT AN INSULT you dicks. stop using that word as a put down. grow the fuck up.
      secondly? THEY DO HAVE TALENT. im not a 10 year old fangirl, either, so shut the hell up with that 'only tweens like them' bullshit. because im not a tween.
      and thirdly, id like to see you get up on stage and sing in front of the crowds they do. HAHAHA. that would be a site to see. dont hate on them because you suck, okay? thanks.

      ps
      nick jonas have my babies.
