Cine sunt Jonas Brothers?Trei frati din New Jersey care au devenit celebri peste Ocean si sunt noii idoli ai adolescentelor din Statele Unite.
De ce vorbesc toti despre ei?Americanii par sa nu se mai sature de ei. Au scos deja doua albume, iar canalul Disney se pregateste sa lanseze un serial ce ii are ca protagonisti (J.O.N.A.S) si un film de lung metraj (Camp Rock) in care cei trei frati vor fi deasemenea prezenti!
Cum au devenit faimosi?Membrii formatiei sunt trei frati: Joe, Nick si Kevin Jonas care au innebunit lumea cu sound-ul lor punk- pop. Sunt foarte talentati si asta i-a ajutat sa devina celebri intr-un timp foarte scurt. Primul care s-a remarcat a fost Nick, cel care a si semnat un contract solo cu o casa de discuri de peste Ocean. Dupa cateva single-uri lansate pe cont propriu, lui i s-au alaturat fratii sai si impreuna au pus bazele formatiei Jonas Brother.
Isi compun singuri piesele si canta la diferite instrumente. Au plecat in turnee alaturi de Backstreet Boys si Kelly Clarkson.
Cum a continuat cariera lor?Primul album, "It's About Time" a fost lansat in 2006 si a inclus single-ul Mandy devenit hit datorita postului MTV si clasandu-se pe locul 1 in topul TRL. Pentru piesele de pe acest album, cei trei frati au colaborat cu compozitori si producatori importanti precum Desmond Child, Billy Mann sau Steve Greenberg.
In 2007 baietii au inceput lucrul la cel de-al doilea album. The Jonas Brothers a fost lansat in augst 2007 la o noua casa de productii Hollywood Records, label Universal Music. Dupa doar o saptamana, a ajuns pe locul 5 in Billboard Hot 200. De pe acest ultim album au fost lansate doua piese Hold On si S.O.S. care au devenit foarte repede hit-uri.
Sunt tineri, sunt draguti, si mai ales, sunt extrem de talentati. Intr-un cuvant, sunt Jonas Brothers!

"I want fans to give me advice on girls; why do they always say they don’t look good in pictures, even though they look great?"
"Our new goal is to make sure everyone doesn’t think New Jersey is the armpit of America. It’s the muscle of America! Alright, that’s kind of lame."

"Hold on, Joe. Let everyone get their cameras and stuff, since you know this is going on Youtube."
"I told a teacher that the house he just bought, that the realtor called, and said that his roof collapsed. He called the number that I gave him, which was actually my cell phone, and I told him, ‘April Fool’s!’ and he freaked."
"One time a girl sprayed a can of silly string. But it wasn’t silly string; it was like industrial-size like, ‘I am going to attack Joseph!’"
"You’ll be looking at magazines at an airport and you’ll see a girl like, holding up a magazine and your face is like on the page and you’re like, ‘Okay I’m just walking away now.’ It’s a little strange."
"Frankie is not adopted. We won’t forget that, Frankie."

Joe: It’s so cool to get on stage every night doing our stuff.
Joe: We do have fanatic fans. And the coolest feeling was, we debuted our video on TRL. We went to TRL and going up to that window and seeing 400 screaming fans. Seeing 400 screaming fans, it’s pretty awesome. It was awesome. It was a cool feeling.

Joe: (talking about there 2nd CD) We are very, very excited about it. We’ve waiting patiently, well not really patiently for this record to come out.

Joe: (About bullies) Kids that I didn’t like would make fun of my name and would call me “JJ.” They would go “JJ Jonas!” I had to hear it everyday at school.

Joe: It’s very gratifying when fans come up to us after shows and tell us how much they relate to our songs.
Joe: My brothers can be messy! On the tour bus, Kevin’s bunk was above mine and somehow all his stuff would end up in my bunk! I would tell him to get it out of my bunk and then he’d just put it on the floor.
Joe: I’m gonna say that I’m the most girl-obsessed out of me, Nick, and Kevin.

The Jonas Brothers; insa mai canta si la tobe si pian. Hobby-urile lui sunt muzica, baseball-ul, tenisul, colectionarea cardurilor de baseball si cantecele. Culoarea favorita este albastrul, iar anotimpul preferat este primavara. Nu-l deranjeaza atunci cand cineva ii spune "acela cu parul cret". Adora sa bea Red Bull.

Nick: I love watching sports, and I like to be outside, even if it's raining.
Nick (On the song "Still In Love With You"): I wrote that song after a breakup. It's like, where a couple of weeks go by, and you still find yourself in love with your ex.

Nick (On his diabetes): I wasn't gonna let it slow me down!
Nick: Even though we [him and his brothers] have a younger brother, I'm considered the baby. But I'm more adult than Joe and Kevin!
Nick (To his brother, Joe): You're ideas are pointless.
Nick: It doesn't matter if the world is pulling you down. With Christ you have everything.
Nick: Joe took me under his arm like the hero that he is. Joe saved my life, so I owe him.
Nick(on how he used to be with relationships): I used to rush into things a lot. That didn't work too well. Now I take it slow-get to know the girl and stuff. I found that it works better. But if its really awesome I'll jump into it.
