Major flashback on Camp Rock 2 🥴😬 Kevin to the kids: if you wanna be a lead singer, you're gonna have to buy a tighter pants and learn how to play the tambourine.

[@the_reaper07]

They got super creative the way they broke these songs down to these stripped down versions. They easily could have just done a simple acoustic version but they added in a lot more to it and changed the vibe of the songs really.

[@monicasmm]

There are some really talented musicians that tour with them, I don’t know if they all are the guitarist on the far right is I believe, he looked familiar as I just saw them live a few days ago. And then of course Jack, the drummer who is crazy good and has been with them since the beginning!

Tbh I would even settle for hearing his guitar. Between the other guitars and bassists, half the time I think I hear him only to realize one of the other musicians is playing it and Kevins strum looks totally different from what I hear... but it totally looks like he is playing so idk.

" I left my heart in Scandinavia" is a song sung by Kevin for their Disney show "Jonas" and it's amazing

I really enjoy seeing this imperfect version of them. It feels like we don’t get to see them without all the frills often enough. They really are very talented on their own and people don’t get to see that. They make mistakes and somehow that makes it better and more real.

[@lexi1049]

So everyone is going to ignore the fact that he had a tiny tambourine at the beginning during sucker

[@evolutionofwords]

It's so easy for Nick to alter his tone, infection, cadence etc. By doing that he can jump from any genre to the next. He effortlessly does it across the board in any setting also. That is talent.

[@WHALEx3]

Precisely, everyone’s talking about Joe but Nick has such control over his tuning and tone

[@RandomVideos-hv8lr]

@@WHALEx3he’s even more complete as an artist more than Joe in my opinion. Joe has got the power and charisma, but Nick’s got the skills. This guy is an amazing musician. He can play guitar, piano, drums or even other instruments and thinking he learns things by ears which is not easy.

[@SwiftieCatLover]

Not a huge fan of the way Nick sings 🤷🏻‍♀️ he looks like he’s in pain even when it comes to the easy notes. And he doesn’t open his mouth up when singing certain notes that it makes all the words sound very closed up/narrow. Not sure how to explain it in musical terms~ I’m more a fan of Joe’s voice. Oh well~ everyone has different tastes/preferences~

[@the_goldenkiwi]

Was waiting for Nick Jonas to but out "Introducing Me" but nevertheless a dream unfulfilled...

[@jonfrombuckland_3784]

You know, I was never into the Jonas Brothers as I was never their demographic. But today when I saw they had a tiny desk I figured I would give them a fair shake like I do to everyone else on Tiny Desk. The first song was a pleasant surprise, the second shows how their voices are all a little different- which might be a recent development, but I appreciated it as their lives are very different and that showed through their voices, and the third was a nice fun journey showing how their voices work well together. This was a good concert, while it didn't evoke strong feelings in myself I do appreciate what the Jonas Brothers do, and will likely listen to more of them. Disclaimer: I was feeding my son breakfast when we listened to this, so my descriptions might be a little off

[@LEvans-vg7sp]

Great review. I feel the same.

[@captainbryce1]

They actually have very different sounding voices and vocal techniques. Nick has a lighter, breathier, airier, and more nasally tone. He excels in the falsetto register. Joe has a fuller, more colorful chest voice and he excels at lower register singing and belting. He can do the high notes too, but his tone sounds very different from Nick. I honestly think Joe is a much more natural vocalist (it just comes easier to him). Nick sometimes sounds like he's struggling to stay on pitch. You can see that come through in their faces too.

[@crazy4corbinbleux]

@@captainbryce1 Wow. SPOT ON analysis!!

[@MommaO09]

[@joeszilvagyi]

This performance got me to check out the official videos for the new music from the Jonas Brothers. I don't understand how a music producer thinks that covering up this actual talent with overdubs and autotuning makes the music any better. I'll listen to this Tiny Desk recording a million times before inflicting the official studio release on my ears again. Please let one of the executives from the label hear these comments and then compare this performance to what they are trying to sell us. I will pay money for a stripped down performance like this highlighting a musician's talent over any technological wizardry they might apply in the studio. I also look forward to every new Tiny Desk performance exactly because it lets me see what the performer can really do.

[@maureene7138]

Yes this is exactly how I feel. This sounds so much better than their album
