Nick Jonas Disses Dylan!

Filed under: Jonas Brothers > Jimmy Kimmel

And although Kimmel mocked him, we don't think he gets it!

On a trip to Jimmy Kimmel, Nick Jonas dished about the new recording of We Are The World and how a certain legendary participant of the original song (aka Bob Dylan) couldn't carry a tune.

Ha!

Watch the clip (above) for the HIGHlarious accusation!

    1. 1

      who is nick jones?



    2. 2

      Well he's right!



    3. 3

      This little punk weill NEVER be Bob Dylan!



    4. 4

      as if Nick himself can sing at all. He needs to stop whining when trying to sing, maybe fixing his teeth would make him a better singer.



    5. 5

      well… bob dylan CANT sing..
      idk what the big deal is



    6. 6

      bob dylan is an amazing songwriter, but everyone knows he can't sing.



    7. 7

      This proves what a douche he is.



    8. 8

      Wow is today all about people being accuse of not singing? lol. Anyways he is not the best singer but his music is legendary.



    9. 9

      Hey Nick, you are a conceded little piece of douchebag!



    10. 10

      Bob Dylan can't sing. He hasn't been able to carry a tune for years and he never had the best voice. He was a writer and interpreter of songs, but to say he has a great voice is pushing it. It's like Stevie Nicks. Would she ever make it on to American Idol? No. Would I rather listen to her songs than some AI winner like Kathrine McPhee? Of Course



    11. 11

      PSH, who does Nick think he is to diss a LEGEND like Bob Dylan?



    12. 12

      …and Nick Jonas thinks he's any better?



    13. 13

      Who the fuck should Nick Jonas talk about? He always sounds like he's constipated in his songs as the recording studio is in the bathroom while Nick tries to take a shit and sings



    14. 14

      Wow, that little prick doesn't know a thing about music



    15. 15

      I'm not sure if Mario even knows a Dylan song….



    16. 16

      Little 'Nicky' has NO room to talk when it comes down to bad singing.
      He should take that stick out of his ass when he's on stage, because he sure as hell
      sounds like he's got something up there when he's 'singing'. It sounds as if he was bred by lions as a child.



    17. 17

      way to insult a legend. who is nick jonas anyways??? ohhhh right hes the one that sounds like a whinny little girl when he sings



    18. 18

      this makes me like jimmy kimmel



    19. 19

      kimmel wasn't making fun of HIM, he as making fun of people like YOU who would report that Nick Jonas said Bob Dylan was a bad singer.

      the kid's not a great singer and isn't even half the songwriter dylan is but he was telling a story. if he was mocking anyone it was lil wayne for not knowing anything about bob dylan



    20. 20

      what a fucking idiot. and to all of you who are agreeing, Bob Dylan CAN sing, that's why he is a famous SINGER/musician.

      Bob Dylan knows more about real music than any bitch punk ass Jo Bro will EVER know. Just because you make little girls nut their pants doesn't give you the OK to talk trash about legendary MUSICIANS.



    21. 21

      Snotty, ignorant little punk! I hope he runs into Dylan sometime soon, and gets his queer ass beaten.



    22. 22

      Dylan can't sing.



    23. 23

      The Jonas brothers can't sing at all and they are not good songwriters or musicians, so they have no room to talk. At least Bob Dylan can write songs and play an instrument very well.



    24. 24

      bob dylan can sing he just doesn't sing like a disney star.



    25. 25

      im not even going to get started on this.



    26. 26

      it's really disappointing how they even considered having lil wayne be in the remake of we are the world. shouldn't it be the most talented singers? i'm shocked by some of the people they chose. a jonas brother? really? ugh, it will never come close to the original.

      Even though Nick can't sing, let's be for real, he is like Luther Vandross, compared to Bob Dylan!!! The kid was just being honest–Bob Dylan can't sing!!!! That is not a diss, it is just honest. As far as Dylan's legendary songs, others are responsible for making many of those songs hits, by re-recording them, and adding melody and structure to the songs, where there was non before. Essentially, these artists have rewritten Dylan songs, musically, and melody wise, and are largely responsible for Dylan's success–although, he is a great musician, have no doubt, much of Prince's musiicianship was inspired by Dylan!!!! Check out Dylan during his live Electric (Amplified) days, he was brilliant, still as a singer, he sucks!!!

      28

      don't get me wrong love nick he's a cutie, but come on…. he's really going to diss bob dylan? its not like his voice is from heaven above and bob dylan has put out an album every year since he started producing music that are known world wide…. nick i love your music but watch what you say and get a grip.



    29. 29

      That's funny, since Nick Jonas' "Who I Am" video instantly reminded me of a certain legendary Bob Dylan video….with better singing *eye roll*
      This kid is a walking joke and doesn't even know it. Lucky for him, neither do his 12 year old fans. I guess that's endearing.

      I'm ready for the Jonas Brothers to gtfo.



    30. 30

      Nick Jonas is just stating the truth, chill out.



    31. 31

      fuck that little cocksucker! DYLAN RULES!



    32. 32

      Jonas Brothers…. Bob Dylan…. it even sounds weird to mention these two names in one sentence. If Bob Dylan can't carry a tune, why is he still famous after 5 decades and people listen to his music? This will certainly not happen to Mr. Talent Nick Jonas and his stupid brothers or whatever they are.



    33. 33

      LOL Bob Dylan sounds like a dying cat but he's more of a musician than this Jo Hoe will ever be.



    34. 34

      Nick is absolutely right. Dylan sucks and always has!!!!!



    35. 35

      oh the shit hes gonna get for saying this.
      im not a bob dylan fan, but nick jonas isnt a great singer himself.
      his moaning on all of his songs annoy the shit out of me.



    36. 36

      The gall of this little prick talking about an artist who has accomplished as much as Dylan. Lets see where you are in 10 years when all of your 10 year old fans grow up. Loser



    37. 37

      And then, following his theory, he compares himself to Billy Joel…. HAHAHA! Yeah, right….



    38. 38

      No Bob Dylan can't sing but if you listen to his original stuff he was the first rapper, just kind of Jewish White Boy rapper, but the first rapper all the same.

    39. Zefie says – reply to this


      39

      What a complete moron.



    40. 40

      haha



    41. 41

      Bob Dylan can't sing…no one said he could, but Nick never said anything about Dylan being a bad songwriter. He's actually praised Dylan in the past for that. Dylan is a much better songwriter/musician/performer than a singer. He's a god awful singer. That's fact, that's not an opinion. Find me someone whose favorite SINGER is Bob Dylan.



    42. 42

      I seriously don't think Nick meant any disrespect to Dylan. He was sharing what he thought was a funny story. If you know anything about Nick, you know he respects music. I think most people are just upset it came from Nick Jonas.

      It must be nice when you get to untouchable status. By some people's reaction, you'd think Dylan had no flaws.



    43. 43

      whO the fuk is this kid dissing Bob Dylan>>> Are you kidding me ??



    44. 44

      BOB DYLAN IS A LEGEND!!!! Nick Jonas you should be ashamed of yourself!!!!!!!!!



    45. 45

      eww what the hell is he doing caressing his leg the whole time??



    46. 46

      Pfft at least Bob Dylan can write music and play instruments. Yeah his voice isn't the best but he shits all over the Jonas Losers who are just copying Hanson.



    47. 47

      nick jonas is a dumbfuck no-talent. go away queerboy, no one wants to listen to your shit music.



    48. 48

      No one will remember who this p—k is. I don't even know nor care, his voice. This boy would be lucky if he had 1% of Dylan's talent.



    49. 49

      at least bob dylan has enough talent to write some pretty amazing music..
      and news flash.. do you really think he can sing.. now days everyone alters there voice its hard to tell who actually can sing. at least bob dylan doesnt try to be something hes not.



    50. 50

      He's right, but he's a fine one to talk!

      His "singing" sounds like a pig being kicked in the balls.



    51. 51

      he's got so much nerve..i liked this guy and i think he has so much potential as an artist but he doesn't know where he comes from …..he's in the very comfortable place that he sits now because of Bob Dylan(fighting for his) being one of the most influential artist in music and his songs are pure rip off of Dylan early songs..he takes it for granted and a little modesty woudn't harm him..Good luck anyway NICK..he is a very smart guy i wasn't expecting this from him..!

    52. debbe says – reply to this


      52

      wow, perez. way to take what he said completely out of context.

      he was dissing himself much more in this interview than he was dissing bob dylan.

      he said they BOTH aren't the greatest singers around, which even as a die-hard bob dylan fan i can admit is completely true.

      saying he said bob dylan can't sing is twisting words to create drama out of nothing.



    53. 53

      He's so out of line. Who is he anyway?



    54. 54

      Ummm… it's widely accepted that Bob Dylan can't sing. He was loved for his writing, not his voice. Nick wasn;t trying to dis anybody, he was just saying that Lil' Wayne shouldn;t be nervous.



    55. 55

      I'VE BEEN SAYING IT FOR YEARS!



    56. 56

      Not that Bob Dylan is a good singer, but Nick needs to learn to think before he speaks. He probably thinks hes all that because he's playing with Prince's Power Generation band or w/e, I always find him so stuck up about being so talented or whatever. I bet JOE's solo album will be 10x better, since he's writing songs with legit artists…



    57. 57

      yup, Dylan can't sing.



    58. 58

      I'm fully aware Bob Dylan can't sing worth a damn. He's a phenomenal writer with a passable voice that gets the job done, however Nick has no place to judge him. It's about respect. That's like if Taylor Swift were to come out and say Stevie Nicks can't sing. Nick's not much better and he can't even write very well (Did you listen to his terribly overthought metaphors on his solo album? Seriously awful)

      Nick needs to stop biting the hand that feeds him especially if he wants rock crediblity. Do you think the rock crowd is gonna just take this lightly? No: They're gonna be pissed the fuck off and already seem to be and it's not like tweens like the Jonases anymore. This guy is an idiot.



    59. 59

      bob dylan's known for his songwriting abilities, not his super amazing vocals, because if we're all being honest, they aren't that great. he's still amazing though.



    60. 60

      I happen to be wearing a Dylan t-shirt today, lol. This kid is an idiot and will never have the talent Dylan has…or longevity of his music.



    61. 61

      wtf who the hell does he think he is saying that, ya so what your in a band with your brothers and all the little girls love you but he cant even being to compare himself with bob dylan

    62. JennM says – reply to this


      62

      Their music is different, Nick and Bob Dylan shouldn't even be compared. But the whole point of this joke was for a laugh. Anyone who's heard Dylan knows his voice isn't exactly conventional, so basically they're just joking about how replacing his section would be… complicated? What I think is really funny, though, is Lil' Wayne replacing his part.



    63. 63

      I was just listening to a Bob Dylan song as I came across this on your site. I guess this gives me even more reason to dislike Nick Jonas. Bob Dylan can sing - anyone can sing - it's just a matter of personal preference. Bob Dylan is a good singer because he gets the emotion across and you can recognize him in between all these washed out clones for singers.



    64. 64

      Bob Dylan sucks just listen to his xmas cd….eeegawd.



    65. 65

      what a stupid little twit. he should even talk.



    66. 66

      Fuck that little Disney douchebag! None of those little bastards could hold a candle to Dylan, either as a songwriter OR a singer. (Ok, so maybe he's right about his voice, but when his big-headed manufactured ass puts in 50 years and becomes a legend, then he can talk about somebody like Bob.)



    67. 67

      oh wow he is annoying… why cant they just go away???????

    68. @v@ says – reply to this


      68

      The boy accidentally said that the Emporer has no clothes. Actually,
      Dylan is known for his song writing, lyrics and composition, and not his golden tones, and would probably be the first to say so. His son, however, has a very good voice.



    69. 69

      Bob Dylan was never about his voice. It was about something that's missing in most music today… a message. He made people think and rethink about society and themselves.



    70. 70

      Bob Dylan conventionally does not have a good voice, but what this little douchebag Nick Jonas does not realize is that Bob Dylan has soul in his voice…..something this little Walmart performing douchebag will never have….

      Pop tarts need to know there postion and just shut the fuck up about legends



    71. 71

      Thats hilarious. He's funny and cute!! I'm not a Jonas Brothers fan but I love Nicks new song Who I Am….his music is starting to become more real instead of boy band-ish!! And I've never heard Bob Dylan sing but I saw the little clip Lil' Wayne did at the press thingy the new We Are The World group did and him saying how he thought they were joking when they told him he was singing Bob Dylans part and I said to my aunt, "How is he supposed to do a solo part, I don't think he can actually sing (not that I don't think he's a good rapper, I really like Lil' Wayne)?" But apparently Bob Dylan can't sing sing so it all good.



    72. 72

      haha, its true though. bob dylan is a phenomenal song writer, but he can't sing. i love bd, but its true.

      not seeing the big deal here…



    73. 73

      Coming from the kid who couldn't remember the words to Very Superstitious while on stage with Stevie Wonder!!! fucking moron



    74. 74

      watch this Dylan interview around the 5:45 mark…

      youtube.com/watch?v=JlSzWJ0-r24



    75. 75

      He really shouldn't talk because he can't sing either. I'd rather listen to Bob Dylan than any of those non talented Jonas Brothers any day of the week. Btw I can't believe they even remade We Are The World, and with such horrible artists. I know it's for a good cause, but to me the original is perfection. I think its such an insult to remake such a good song like that with HORRIBLE artists. They should of at least wrote an original song.



    76. 76

      Just throwing this out there. I remember reading somewhere a long time ago that one of Nick's musical influences is Bob Dylan. I think he meant writing wise, not singing.
      I myself LOVE Bob Dylan but have to agree that maybe his vocals aren't as strong as they could be. Not saying that Nick is any better. Everyone has their own opinions on what a good singer sounds like. With Nick I guess you either love him or you hate him.



    77. 77

      ahhh… kids don't lie! nick is adorable! yes… dylan is a writer… a poet of sorts, but let's be honest he doesn't sing… SING.



    78. 78

      i dont understand why people are making such a BIG deal out of this..
      Nick Jonas is right, Bob Dylan CAN'T sing.
      he is known for many things and one of them being he can't sing.
      Why aren't you bitching about Jimmy Kimmel, he made fun of Bob Dylan too..
      it's just because he is a Jonas and a part of Disney, that's why you are picking on him, you know you are cool when you are picking on a 17 year old kid..
      let this boy be, he is making amazing music with and without his brothers. Nick's voice is great btw, maybe you should go youtube some Jonas Brothers, but then again maybe you shouldn't you might waste more of your time dissing three men who are making millions of dollars per year, money that you will never make in your whole lifetime. So why don't we all stop picking on Nick and face the fact that Bob Dylan CAN'T sing and Nick Jonas AND Jimmy Kimmel are poking some fun. Honestly, grow up just get over the fact that you are jealous. k, thanks

      Re: hajj_3 – umm his name is Nick Jonas, not Jones.. google him.

      Re: Double-H Montag – And you can't spell, so it all works out.



    82. 82

      Re: thankyougravity – Jimmy's a comedian. It's his job to insult others. Nick's tween idol who's fading into obscurity, he should know when to keep his mouth shut. It's about respect.



    83. 83

      Bob Dylan has admitted that himself.



    84. 84

      Obviously, this little dick doesn't know what he's talking about. Like Neil Young, Bob Dylan is one of the greatest singer/songwriters of all time. Stupid little boy!



    85. 85

      I NEVER HAD AN OPINION ABOUT THIS LITTLE PUNK ASS BEFORE BUT NOW I CAN'T STAND THE LITTLE ASSHOLE! I DON'T KNOW WHO THE FUCK HE THINKS HE IS, BUT HE BETTER STEP BACK AND REALIZE WHO REALLY OWNS THE MUSIC! EVERYONE WHO LOVES MUSIC KNOWS IT'S NOT ABOUT THE VOICE…ITS THE SOUL YOU BRING WITH IT!!! HAVE YOU LITTLE KIDS EVER HEARD "LAY LADY LAY"? BOB'S VOICE ON THAT TRACK IS 10x BETTER THAN ANYTHING THIS KID WILL EVER DO!



    86. 86

      Re: thankyougravity – JEALOUS OF A SNOT NOSED LITTLE BITCH ASS PUNK WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT REAL MUSIC…OH YEAH, THAT'S THE TICKET DUMBASS!

    87. Genn says – reply to this


      87

      I love bob dylan, but its true. But he does make it up with his amazing songwriting skills.



    88. 88

      He didn't exactly diss Bob Dylan, because its kinda true. But Bob Dylan is known for many other things, including writing amazing songs.

      And from what I've heard, Bob Dylan is one of the people that Nick idolizes. Nick knows what good music is.
      Sure, he writes crappy pop music, but hes Disney, hes got an audience to stick to.



    89. 89

      hey i like nick jones just as much as the next girl….lol…..NOT!!!!! but why does he need to insult other artists to make himself feel better???? bob dylan is a legend, a genius song writer and a true gift to the musical world….nick jones will either get some lessons on great rock or he will be gone in 10 years….new kids style bitches!!!! this is like the time when they couldnt name all of the Beatles…….i bet they could name everybody in the back street boys tho………idiot!!!



    90. 90

      i think that Bob Dylan is a fantastic, superb and inovative singer he just Doesn't have a Melodious boring soft voice ….



    91. 91

      Nick Jonas? Bob Dylan?
      Never heard a Nick Jonas song (jonas brothers)
      But Bob Dylan's songs are epic. Sure he was never the best singer, but his lyrics and demeanor more than make up for his lack of what we would call ' a great singing voice'. Have you ever seen a bob Dylan interview? The best.
      Bob Dylan is a legend who was way before his time



    92. 92

      AHH HELL NAH!



    93. 93

      bob dylan actually can't sing very well



    94. 94

      the "idol" generation on entertainment

      dylan cant sing
      grow up you moron



    95. 95

      hahaha true dat



    96. 96

      Nick didnt mean that, hes just trying to be a bad ass knowing that if he said something like that it would be more publicity on him…



    97. 97

      Seriously take a chill pill. I am positive he didnt mean any disrespect to Bob Dylan. In all honesty Dylan can't sing he is an amazing songwirter/musician/preformer. I think everyones problem is who made the comment. Nick never specifically said he was a bad singer just implied but chill not everyone has to like every artist unless their a liar. I think is the situation was reversed people wouldnt be so pissed. I mean Bob Dylan has flaws people he is human.



    98. 98

      who the hell does this punk think he is!!! even fran drescher could sing better than him and his sissy posse!



    99. 99

      ive always thought this kid cant sing worth a shit



    100. 100

      says one of the worst singers out there.
