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.)
They are so awesome they are getting so big =)
The first concert I went to there were only 200 people there now they are having arena tours its amazing.
I love them, and I met them so to all of you people who are saying they are shallow you're wrong they are so sincere and down to earth.
over styled twats, they look ridiculous
They are so awesome and they are so talented =)
omg i love them!!!!!
they are the most amazing guys in the world!!!
:]
they are amazing and i love all the songs that they write so i am stoked for there third cd. I still cant believe that nick cut his hair but he is still amazingly gorgeous.
Re: the B – ummm no…im nowhere near the age of nine get your shit together and wake up, grow up, or shut the fuck up ass cream
Re: eech –

omg!!!! i can't wait! =DDD i love them!
Dayyumm! These boys are fine! GOSH I can't wait for there new ablum! I am so in love with these boys!
:D
Re: jj. – SAY IT! I so agree with you on that!
"They're gay" is the comment made when people have no other reason to put down the Jonas Brothers. They have amazing style, music, and attitude towards their work and fans. They are truly admirable, especially for their age and talent. They are part of the handful of celebrities that are excellent role models for young people because they are true to themselves, grounded, genuine, and show a great quality of work towards their fans. This is why I love them so much and why other should embrace them instead of putting them down for such petty and pathetic remarks.
haha .
well if you fucking hate them, ignore this fucking shit, damn .
ANYWAYS .
they look absolutely GORGEOUS on the cover and i am so happy for them
Yes, A Little Bit Longer was written by Nick about his diabetes, but Billboard makes it look as it was written three years ago. And it's not, it was written during the filming of the movie Camp Rock.
Re: liz –
Btch please, STOP comparing JB to TH. I've had too much of that already.
this is awesome.!
thanks perez.(:
Wow. I love reading these comments! These people are VERY original (sarcasm). The comments range from "Oh my gosh, I love them! I'm going to marry them!" to "Oh my gosh, they're so gay! I hate them! Hason wanna-be's". Seriously, be unique and form a real opinion rather then hating and/or wasting space or don't comment.
Personally, I love the Jonas Brothers. I think the cover picture is weird, though. It looks like their faces have been contorted. Nonetheless, I will be looking out for this magazine.
Plus… Joe tap dancing on the new record? Interesting………
Thanks for supporting them so much, Perez!
OKay people need to go get a life and something to do because if you hate them so much why would you waste your time and open up this article tor ead about them or look at the pictures dont you have something better to do in your life
I LOVE THEM!! JOE LOOKS SO GOOD!
burnin up for you baby
phahahah
im so excited for the new single.
They're NOT hot!
There is always going to be a 'band" that you love or hate. My daughter loves these guys, so that's cool with me. I grew up with Nirvana, Pearl Jam, etc. As long as music moves you and makes you happy so be it. And please stop with the gay comments, that's totally uncool. Be who you are and just be happy. Music in any form can make a difference.
Mario's in Love! Pervert, pedophile.
Ugh. Worst fashion sense ever. If they're so famous and hot I'm sure they can afford a better stylist, one that won't make them look like sexually confused teenage girls.
omjjj!!! thank you soooo soo soo soo much perez!! i always love getting my dose of jonas gossip from you :]
you know i have this idea and its crazy i know but just think about itok:
IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM DON'T BLOG!!! THAT WAY FOR THE PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO LOVE THE JONAS BROTHERS WE DON'T HAVE TO HEAR(OR READ) ALL OF YOUR NEGATIVITY (all said in a load angry voice with a mad face to sum it all up)
nick looks wayyy photoshopped. his face and chin have weird angles on them
this is awesome!!! i love them so much and can't wait to see them get bigger & bigger.
I sooooo love this… THNXS P!
JONAS BROTHERS ROCKS.. ALL YOU HATERS JUST STOP… YOU LOVE THEM.. JUST DON'T WANNA ADMIT IT… YOU'VE ALL GOT OJD
i love them(:
Its ALL about the TYPE 1 DIABETES - lil curly one is wearing a pump and raging a war everyday, against a pancreas that doesn't function… YOU boys go and go and go..My other half is on capital hill today fighting for our son and the Jonas boy - you all can pass judgement, but you have noooooo idea!
i have to admit there not terrible, but it feels like everyone that comes from the disney channel burns out faster then people who dont… they will have their little fame and then the world will get over themselves… but seriously the cloths they are wearing in this pic are not their best choice… some times they do go and some times they dont, everyone has there days. there musics not terrible its catchy, and there not bad looking, eveyone has there few years, in five years girls and boys will be screaming over some other stupid pop boy/ girl…. nothing last forever
What a bunch of fags
perez, you simply inspire me :]
keep posting those JONAI!!
I don't agree with the comments about them being gay, but about the style thing, I agree. They were so much better (and more real) when they were with Columbia and without a stylist. Their clothes don't look that great, even if they are designer pieces. They should have stuck with shirts and jeans and sneakers.
Plus, moving to Hollywood Records sort of changed their sound. They used to write about positivity and things besides love and relationships. Now it's all they ever write about.
awww they are amazing

Re: ilovejoejonas – OMG I LOVE HIMM TOO!!!
Re: emily – I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!
Re: the B –
CUZ THEY ARE HOT.. IT DONT MATTER WHAT THEY WEAR…
BTW. IM NOT SUM PEADO NEITHER. IM 15. — PERFECT FOR NICK
Re: emily –
COULD'NT HAVE SAID IT BETTER
peace - love - JONAS!!
can these guys be any gayer?????
I'm a huge Jonas Brothers fan, but I must agree, their outfits on that cover are a bit over the top.
I must add that it was really funny reading these comments. The "hardcore JB fans that want to marry Joe" or whatever are so defensive. They have to learn that not everyone will like the Jonas Brothers. That's an understood truth for all famous people.
So, the little psycho fans that have posters plastered everywhere in their rooms need to learn how to calm down.
Re: Keith –
NONE of them are fat. They are incredible. And those of you commenting this who don't like them must have nothing better to do because your life is so boring.
god they are so gay!!!!!
Re: liz –
Tokio Hotel?? Their music is good but those of you who are calling JB gay..take a look at TH……that one guy wears TONS of makeup.
Dayumm they wear the ugliest clothes!!!!!!!!
Re: gg – um could you? thats all three of my boyfriends so back off honey your just jealous that you cant have that. for everyone who thinks that the jbros are gay take a look in the mirror
Re: Da R – um yeah right were you looking in a mrror when you said that?
I'm so proud of them!!!!
This time last year, they were doing free shows at six flags and look at them now!
Re: gg – Wow can you get any gayer gg?
Re: scrub – u are an asshole buddy
Re: DALE – YOU ARE DEFINANTLY RIGHT
I don't know a thing about their "music" but they look fucking retarded.
go fuck yourself if you dont like the jonas brothers
why the FUCK did you click this link just to talk shit
im 17 and lovin JB
WOOOOOOOOOoooo.
I love the Jonas Brothers! And Perez!
chill out guys.
they're not gay and we all know that. don't pay attention to those other people who say otherwise.
and even if they were gay, so what?
dropping the f bomb and using your colorful vocabulary doesn't help the cause either. it just makes jonas fans look like trashy idiots.
anwway, the boys look amazing.
They look like complete fags! Why the fuck do they dress like this?? They look like idiots. They think they have such great style because people like perez say they do but they dont.
YAYYYYYYYYYY
ilovethemmmm
their music vid for burnin' up premieres after camp rock!
Re: Wack – can you people PLEASE get your facts straight? They were not made by Disney, they started off with Columbia. They
obviously have talent, because they're popular around the world now. they have so much more talent than people give them credit for. maybe if the rest of the stubborn male population would discover better tastes in music, everything would be easier.
Re: the B – um…wow. do some reseach you sad fuck. im 17 and i've been a fan for TWO YEARS. i was 15 then. was i 9? uh…no. and most of the fans ARE NOT 9 YEAR OLDS. idiot. wow. its a shame that people like you are given the rights to voice an opinion now…
aww.
love those boys but WTFWTFWTF?
that picture is disgusting.
hate the clothes.
hate the airbrushing.
it's just awful that they would do that to them.
bleh.
but i'm stoked for the new music!
man i love those boys more than ANYTHING! well.. besides God and my family
Re: the B –
hah not really. i'm 18 and i'm a huge jb fan.
SHIT!! they are horrible!
JT is so much better, can't wait ill they crash and burn!
usually, they have all have an awesome individual style, however this time, its a little off for Nick. Joe and Kevin (Kevin especially) look cool
WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY WEARING?
Re: DALE – umm. yeah youre wrong! Kevin is not a teen is freaking 20 years old.
hes amazing, and he looks good in everything.
THEY ARE AMAZING♥
