The Jonas Brothers - Are They are Becoming the "New" Kardashians (?)

beach-mom — Tue, 14 May 2019 07:13:13 GMT

We are seeing the Jonas Brothers and their wives everywhere in the news now. Last night I read an article about how they celebrated Mother's Day. OK - that was sweet. The day before I saw another article on Yahoo!

Tonight the one of the headlines on Yahoo! is "See Nick Jonas, Priyanka Chopra, Joe Jonas, and Sophie Turner's looks on their rainy night out." Do I really want to read about their rainy night and what they wore? (I decided not to.)

I imagine tomorrow will bring a "new" Jonas story. They stayed pretty much in the background until Nick and Priyanka's wedding that went on forever. After that they seemed to be all over the place. Of course their reuniting as a band after 6 years apart didn't hurt!

The stories include the third Jonas Brother Kevin and his wife Danielle once in a while. The two of them had a reality show a few years ago. And we very seldom see the "Bonus Jonas," their youngest brother Frankie, who is 18.

Guess Nick, Priyanka, Joe, and Sophie will be one of the new "Fab Four" groups as the media likes to call them!

They must have good PR people.

I really don't pay attention to them.

I hope not. I don't see the appeal of this bunch either. It used to be all about Paris Hilton and then she got a life and grew older. Now it's the K's. Shouldn't their 15 min. of fame be up by now?

I've noticed this too.

I gather two brothers married "famous" women - Priyanka Chopra and Sophie Turner (neither of whom I knew existed until recently), so that has helped everyone's career (and love life).

Kevin's wife does not seem to like the limelight, and they live a relatively private life. Plus, they have 2 (?) children.

Good grief I hope not.

I heard on a local radio show yesterday that Kim K is compensated in an absurdly large amount each time she promotes a product on Instagram. I wasn't surprised, though.

There was a lot of buzz about these two women, especially Priyanka, people thought she wasn’t getting married for the right reasons, more for her own fame...I predict neither of these girls will be around in 5 years.

Seem like a nice group of siblings, like the K/J family.

Seem to be close to each other, like the K/J family.

No illegal scandals, like the K/J family.

Work hard, like the K/J family.

Nick Jonas is in those Cigna commercials, spreading an important message. Plus he’s T1D..again, spreading the message.

If they are to be the next big thing, good for them.

I agree. There’s something about this bunch I find unappealing. I don’t know why they all need so many fancy weddings when one will do. PR is suppose. In a couple of years I’m sure they will be headed to divorce court.

When I see photos of the two newly married couples it always looks more to me like kid brothers who got their picture taken with their big sister. Just something so unlikely looking about them as husbands and wives.

Not interested in them, like the KarJenner families.

The Jonas Brothers don't seem as pathetic as the K's about staying relevant.

It's called PR. They are putting themselves out there because, I assume, they have a big summer tour coming up. That's how the game is played. When performers have a movie, book, album or tour coming; they are all over the media.

Only because gullible millennials adore everything she says and will buy whatever she tells them to. I am sure she brings in far more $$$ than she is paid.

I don't really think they compare to the Ks, other than that they are siblings. The Js started on the Disney Channel (movies and a show), and the original incarnation of the band had several hit songs. They write, play instruments, etc. (that is, they're not just front men who sing). Now the band is back together, they had a HUGE number one hit ("Sucker," which they co-wrote), they're touring again, and two of them have recently married high-profile women (Priyanka and Sophie Turner, who's on a little show called Game of Thrones). So it's not at all surprising that their PR people are working hard and they're everywhere at the moment.

They were good on "SNL" last weekend and even appeared in a sketch. I think they have talent, and they certainly have interesting lives. I wonder who their audience is now, since the teens who supported them 10 years ago have probably moved on.

Hollywood types have never been of any interest to me. I guess you have to keep your picture and name out there to be relevent.

Certainly, their publicists are trying to make them the new K family. The photos of the wedding to Prianka Choprawas so ubiquitous I wanted to puke. Now we’re seeing the other brother in photos all over the net. He married a Sophie Tucker from a Game of a Thrones. They are seeking the same exposure that Kim an is famous for. It sure has helped her. Publicity is important in show business.

I was wondering the same thing - years back when Kevin and Danielle had their own reality show she always appeared to be very uncomfortable around the camera. My sister's nieces (her husband's side) used to be huge fans as tweens and know they've moved on years ago. Seriously doubt they care anymore. I thought I read that Kevin had moved on and had a home renovation company.

Never saw them or their talent as having much appeal. Still don't. Not interested in them or their wives. They can reinvent themselves if they choose and are able to do so, but I won't be among their 'audience'.

I don't know much about the Jonas Brothers, except they come from a family that seems very close with a moral compass. I don't really follow their music, but I like their new song. I would not equate them in any way, shape, or form with the K's and their antics and values.
