The Jonas Brothers

As many of you know I am suffering from a very serious disease called O.J.D.

Ob•sessive Jo•nas Dis•or•der (əb•séssiv-nis-dissáwrdər) n.  1 also known as OJD, a serious disease which causes an extreme obsession with a band of brothers, surname being Jonas. There is no known cure for this disease, but most of those who have it, do not mind it, and have learned to manage it by getting their daily dose of Jonas.

Here is some of my random jonas knowledge that i have picked up over the years. Be careful OJD is contagious!!

Paul Kevin Jonas II aka K2, Kev or KEVIN
- Is lead guitar and back up vocals in his band The Jonas Brothers
-Is 20 years old and the oldest of his 3 brothers Joe, Nick, and Frankie
-He knows how to juggle
-Kevin would like to perform with U2 and Coldplay
-If Kev could get a personalized license plate it would say "Ballin"
-His most ticklish spot is his right side
-If Kev wasn't making music for a career he would want to be a race car driver
-If Kev had a daughter he would name her Madison Grace.
-Kevins's trade mark is bandanas and scarfs 


Joseph Adam Jonas aka Danger or JOE

-His trademark is headbands.
-Joe relates to baloo from The Jungle Book because he gives big bear hugs
-Out of his brothers he is the loudest, messiest, and the laziest.
-He wears red starry socks for good luck
-If Joe could trade his brothers for any celebrity he would
 trade Kevin for Shakira and Nick for Beyonce
-He wants to build a disco ball hat.

Nicholas Jerry Jonas aka The President, or NICK J
-Is 15 and the third oldest of his 3 brothers Kevin, Joe, and Frankie
-Plays guitar, drums, piano and sings in his band Jonas Brothers

-At the age of 7 he started performing on Broadway.

-According to his mom Nick will "only eat his hamburgers in circles. He goes around the outside instead of digging right through."

-Nick's trademark is his curly hair.

-His favorite desert is pumpkin pie.

-His favorite superhero is Spider man.

-When Nick was in the Broadway play Beauty and The Beast, he played chip.

-Nick has Type 1 Diabetes. He was diagnosed in 2005 while he was out on tour.



Friday night was one of the best days of my life.  I got to go to a Jonas brothers concert with my bestie Mckaela, Miriam, and Miriam's mom. It was so much fun. We have been fans of the Jonas brothers for a few years now and we hadn't been to one of their shows yet. They have been together for 3 years now but have just barely started getting

 really big. They are on their second headlining tour called the Burning up tour named after their new

 hit single Burning 

Up.


The burning up tour just started last week so me Kaela and Miriam were very excited to see one of the first shows of the tour. It was also really cool because 

Arizona is one of the jobros favorite places to come to because Joseph (the middle one) was born here. Yes the Jonas Brothers are really brothers.

Here are some highlights from my concert



-Demi lovato opened up for the jobros. I have been listening to her music on youtube alot lately and she has the most amazing voice i have ever heard on a 15 year old girl. She did a great job and really had the crowd excited. She was in the movie camp rock with the jobros and has her first cd coming out sometime in November i think. I am really excited for it.
-Demi also came on to sing a duet with Joe from their movie Camp Rock. The song was called This is me and they did a really good job.

- It was after one of the songs and Kevin was taking some time to talk to the crowd and he was talking about the new album and the movie he and his bros were in called camp rock. In the movie he played a dumb guy in a band that really wanted somebody to build him a bird house. So before the song started he said,"I have one more question for you guys.... did anybody build me a bird house.?" It was so funny and the crowd went crazy. Everybody was totally cracking up

-The SOS dance. Kevin does a special dance during one of the songs called SOS. It is tradition at every concert for him to do it so everybody was waiting for it and went totally wild when he did it. I actually got a really good video of it

-The song burning up started out with nick playing the drums and Kevin and Joe started playing floor toms and were rocking out it was so cool. Then they started singing and their body guard Big Rob came out and started rapping for the song it was so awesome. 

-They had a symphony backing up their songs and for an intro to one song the symphony was playing and Joe was up there conducting it. The crowd was going wild and it was really cool, and funny.

-Nick dedicated a song about his diabetes called A Little Bit Longer too a girl who was supposed to come to the concert with her softball team but died a week before. It was really sad and Nick actually started crying. It was a really sweet thing for him to do for her softball team who was there. He also moved them to front row seats.

-During a song called Still in Love With You the boys put down their instrument and picked up these huge hoses and started spraying the whole crowd with foam. It was so cool.

-The hold on spin. It is tradition for Kevin to do a really cool spin with his guitar during hold on. I got a video of it too.

-They covered the song I'm Gonna Get You Good by Shania Twain. It sounded really good. Nick played the drums.

-Nick and the jobro drummer Jack had a drum off and were passing their sticks to each other and counting off to a song it was really cool.

-During Goodnight and Goodbye Joe and Nick did really awesome flips.

-The goodnight and goodbye dance. A dance they always do during goodnight and goodbye

-Nick had a really good guitar solo. It was amazing and really cool because Kevin is actually lead guitar and does all the soloing. 

-The entrence was really cool. The symphony was playing soft music then it turned into this really cool intense crazy stuff that sounded kind of like the beginning of Indiana Jones. When the indiana jones stuff started there was lazers and fire shooting into the air then the jobros just shot out of the floor and started playing Thats Just The Way We Roll


These jonas boys put on the best show I have ever seen in my entire life! They had the whole audience on their feet. The guy sitting next to me brought his daughter and was sure that this was just a stupid boy band but he was on his feet the whole time and i think i even saw him smile. :)

Becca, what an AWESOME post! Your knowledge of trivia on these boys is amazing. You are one true fan, that's for sure! I am so glad you got to go to the concert with your "besties." Even though I am glad you are such a dedicated Jobro fan, I am even more glad that you know how to pick good friends to share your teenaged obsessions with! I sure love you, and I really miss you. The house is very lonely and quiet tonight.

Rebecca, thanks for the Jonas facts. I am pretty sure I now have OJD too. Too bad I wasn't "sick" at camp or we could have had so much fun. And just for the record...I love JOE!!
