Nick Jonas’s new era is a total flop

He is the only person impressed with his talent.

The album was almost Top 10. #12.

Not a total flop you ahitbag - OP

When you’re a male pop star and you get married in your 20’s, the fan gurls lose interest.

R2

A big fall from his last album, which peaked at #2.

R3

A mainstream pop star not making the top 10 (even with all the promo he had) is a flop. And the song went nowhere.

that golddigger wife is pissed!

There’s always gay porn?

It debuted at #12 and dropped to #112 the following week. It's off the charts by next week.

He can open for Madame X with sales like that.

He was lucky to have as much success as he did. He should go to singing Christian music.

And he’s already been replaced on The Voice lmao

[quote] There’s always gay porn?

That tiny little mouth of his is much too small to suck cock.

There’s another point of entry

He needs to wear suit jackets which actually fit

Why would you ever think it would be a hit? Who today would even admit to being a fan of the Jonas Brothers? It’s an embarrassing thing people would want hidden. And Gen Z today didn’t grow up with the Jonas Brothers so they don’t know who he is. He’s irrelevant to them.

R15 you live in an alternate gay universe. You don’t know wtf you are even talking about.

My nieces loved the Jonas Brother in 2008. Today they wouldn’t be caught dead listening to them.

I wonder if Pringle is moving in to a more “Momanger” type role?

You are a fossil sir. And a negative one at that. Your shitty nieces probably flick their beans to WAP.

[quote] There’s always gay porn?

He'd better hurry. He is fast approaching 'Daddy' status

r16 What's wrong with what he said? Jonas Bros were 2005-13, and from what I remember were biggest about 2009. Those tween fans are now mid 20s and definitely don't have Jonas Bros on their spotify. And younger gen-z weren't exposed to the show or their music to begin with.

I guess they didn’t have any hits or go on a successful tour in 2019? Oh no.

I don’t think they ever had any hits ever!!!

R17-r21 thinks she’s got a grasp on demographics and what everyone in the world listens to defying billboard data. If you say it - it’s got to be reality even if you haven’t a motherfucking clue.

He sucks and his "marriage" is a silly publicity stunt

The JoBros were for young millennials and Gen Z who watched Disney Channel or TRL in the mid to late 2000s. Like Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan, Demi Lovato, Raven, Vanessa Hudgens and Jesse McCartney. Mainstream pop radio was not playing their music and no adult took them seriously. .

Miley went mainstream but she had nepotism. Nick Jonas as a solo artist had a string of radio hits so he's more successful than most. But he was a one album wonder and used his sex appeal to sell.

You cannot fix stupidity no matter how fucking hard you try. Especially (sadly) in the USA.

r24 Nick please, its Easter. You shouldn't be this drunk and angry about failing.

They wear virgin rings and they can’t drive!

Its funny how Joe was marketed as the "hot one" initially but the attention moved to Nick once he finished puberty.

Tweenage gay me wanted to see Joe Jonas, Ricky Ullman, Corbin Bleu, Zac Efron and Jesse McCartney in an orgy.

Is that the closeted one, the gay one, the one with diabetes, or the one married to the Indian?

There's so many I get confused

New Edition, Hansen, Backstreet Boys , NKOTB, 98 degrees , One Direction ( save only Styles) , N'Sync ( save only Timberfake) ...... yeah who could have seen this coming ?

r31 He's diabetic and married to an Indian. Was also rumoured to be gay a few years ago but I'm pretty sure it was just targeted marketing since once the fangirls moved on horny men was all that was left.

New Edition was the most successful though. Bobby Brown was huge from 1988 to 1991. Johnny Gill and Ralph Tresvant were popular R&B stars. Bell Biv Devoe was huge. You can't group them with those other walk groups.

*wack

He has a horrible singing voice. Joe Jonas is the only Jonas that matters. Sexy, good voice, good actor. The other two are just anal warts on his hot ass.

R29, that was harsh, Tai.....but seriously, Nick is absolutely fuckable but he should not have replaced the legendary Gwen Stefani on the Voice.

All three of them are anal warts.

They all promoted that backwards religious hokum of 'purity rings'.

If they were alive during the Salem witch-trials, they probably would've been leading sing-alongs while some old widows were being hanged for 'satan-worshipping'.

I don't see how a person can sexualize people who advanced their careers with religious abstinence-chastity bullshit. I find them repulsive.

He has always been a flop as a solo artist. HIs only so-so hit was "Jealous." He and his brothers had a hugely successful tour in 2019, but they are only successful as a group, not as solo artists.

Shawn Mendes has had 2 flop albums in a row and his career seems mostly over at this point. He can't rely on his laughable PR relationship anymore. At least Nick Jonas has a budding acting career right now, which is overtaking his music career.

R38

I see your point but they were just dumb homeschooled kids who only wore those rings to please their holy roller parents. Don't you think it's more telling of the adults in their lives who sexualized these teens so much they make them wear purity rings in the first place. The Jonas Brothers admitted they were very uncomfortable with the situation and it was disgusting that adults were fixated on their virginity.

We’re they virgin cock rings??

Were*

I think Nick and Joe both admitted to being sexually active during his height of fame. Kevin was the truly religious one and rumored to be gay. He got hitched early too.

I remember watching some Howard Stern interview with Hanson. Another pop band of brothers who were Evangelical Christians. And they all admitted to premarital sex and watching porn. They married their pregnant girlfriends.

His vocal ability is thin at best. He thinks he is Justin Timberlake but he is more like Aaron Carter. I remember the Jonas brothers did a tribute with Stevie Wonder and Stevie was singing supersticious. Nick goes "Let me take it from here Stevie" mid song....as if.

The only thing Nick does better than Timberlake is being hotter. Jesse McCartney was the closest Disney product to Timberlake but his looks hit a wall early on and he didn't transition to adult stardom well.

Nick isn't a bad singer, I think it's just the fact the song wasn't very good. I think if he had better songwriters/producers, he might be more successful as a solo artist.

He's so yucky and pasty with an underdeveloped facial features. His diabetes is obvious.

Nick Jonas' solo success always puzzled me. I always thought Jesse McCartney was a better singer and he even tried doing the sexual adult sound but for some reason it didn't catch on. He aged terribly though. Jonas Brothers were derided, so Nick becoming successful with that song "Jealous" was a bit perplexing.

I liked him better with The Administration, honestly.

NKOTB and BSB were smart to do the package tours with other artists from their era as they can still play arenas and have money to spend. New Edition on a smaller scale can as well.

R50 The Jonas Brothers were never as big or impactful as those three groups though and they weren't as big as One Direction either. Jonas Bros can maybe tour with Big Time Rush that Nickelodeon boy band.

[quote] I don't see how a person can sexualize people who advanced their careers with religious abstinence-chastity bullshit. I find them repulsive.

It's pretty obvious that this point that the whole purity thing was fake, just like Britney Spears being a virgin. But who knows, maybe it was real, but the brothers (or more likely their parents) had no misgivings about trading their personal beliefs for money and more fame.

Can't say I'm a fan of the Jonas Brothers or Nick's music, although to be honest I never thought it was that terrible either. I hope Nick becomes more successful as an actor. He's still hot and has proven time and again that he can act really well in comedies (Jumanji) or dramas (Kingdom).

Their parents are idiots for thinking that their teenage sons who are touring the world and having access to millions of horny girls and opportunities for no-stringed-attached sex would willingly be virgins.

"Spaceman" is one of the dumbest "songs" ever written. It's Jonas just repeatedly saying "spaceman." And he makes it the title song of his new album? Isn't there someone in his circle who can tell him "no"?

It’s a COVID anthem so it’s timely. He sings about wearing a mask all day and taking it off at home where it’s the only place he feels safe. He feels like a spaceman in a hazmat suit in this pandemic.

R9 Madame X DID debut at #1

But fell hard

Virgins to penetrating girls.

My straight Frau Millennial sister is going nuts over ‘Heaven’. In words: “mood. It’s life. It’s going straight on my gym playlist.”

The lead single was a mistake. The 2nd one should've been the first but by that time its already a messt start. He's better off sticking with his bros. He also has a promising movie career.

R50 please never again compare the brilliant showmanship and classy vocal/dance stylings of New Edition to any of these other boyband clowns mentioned.

The album is ok, I guess. The autotune makes his voice so generic that anyone, even some woman (or Michael Jackson rip-off), could be the singer. To me the songs sound like 80s influenced pop / soul funk music. This is Heaven even has a sax solo LOL.

It's decent enough as background music. Kind of chill vibe to it.

"He has a horrible singing voice. Joe Jonas is the only Jonas that matters. Sexy, good voice, good actor. The other two are just anal warts on his hot ass."

Hi, Joe!!!

Thanks for posting. How are things?

r6 Jonas Brothers got back together as a group too soon. Nick should have been going solo with another album after his 2014 hits. His fans literally are the only ones buying his music, no one else. He's not as big as say Taylor Swift or Beyonce to thrive off of fan frenzy like they do.

Also keep in mind r64 that Shawn Mendes came on to the scene around the same time Nick was going solo. He stole his thunder.

His marriage. From every perspective it is ridiculous and off-putting, I imagine particularly to a young person.

Exactly. Having a beard wife in 2021 is poison to credibility. Makes him look so out of touch and pathetic.

r67 especially since he did the whole gay baiting route- playing gay on that MMA TV show, all the underwear shots.

HA!!!

Gay-baiting??? ME?!?!?

Riiight...I've never gay-baited.

Now, before I go, everyone check out my sweet ass crack...

I find it hard to believe gay-baiting and using sex to sell music really works. Were grown gay men really buying a large percentage of Nick Jonas' music? I was always under the impression is was young girls who were buying/streaming his music since they tend to be loyal brand consumers and maybe had Jonas Brothers nostalgia.

R68 ...the appearances at gay clubs, playing "guess the bulge"...

Of course, one of DL's resident PR experts told us that was all part of his roll out to coming out as gay.

What happened to his friendship with Demi Lovato?

R72 Supposedly according to some of her fans Nick is a "fake individual" who in the end didn't really care care about Demi or what she was going through but pretended to before social media.

That any of them have achieved any level of success in the music industry is supernaturally mystifying. None of them can really sing.

I'm too old to have followed these brothers, but I saw them sing Earth Wind and Fire's "September" at the Kennedy Center Honors.

Jesus. Christ.

HOW did they get to be famous? They were absolutely awful, no talent whatsoever. They were so bad I was embarrassed for them.

Monkey boy was juicy and cute for a few years. He needs a back up plan. Maybe he will make it as an actor.

The Disney push is why. Social media helped the Jonas Brothers sustain a longer presence too. It's the same reason Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato are still known because they got famous during the era of social media like MySpace, Facebook and Twitter which helped connect them with fans. That's why these former tween/teen stars never go away like they would have had they existed in the 20th Century

Nick is a prime candidate for a JanBot equivalent on Datalounge.

Priyanka's outfit looks terrible.

I still don't really know which Jonas Brother is gay or bi...one is bi and one is straight up gay and the other is just straight?

Maybe it’s his new error?

Whatever, Major, LOSER.

Let’s face it - when you’re a male and you sell records based on sex appeal and not talent, you’re going to lose fans when you get married. It’s just the truth.

The problem with Nick Jonas is that he sings EVERY song like he is squeezing hard painful turds out his ass, one after another.

The problem is that he has NO PERSONALITY. Who the fuck is Nick Jonas? Is no one else weirded out by this void of a person? You can't be a pop star in 2020s without a personality. He's as bland as sandpaper. Even his gay baiting days were lame because it was all on paper, not in person. Like you could tell that it was 100% manufactured. Comparatively, Joe Jonas wasn't afraid, and didn't have other options, to perform at gay clubs/venues. He's at least fun and naturally attractive.

Their weddings made them boring. I don't think married male pop star really works. Same thinking with Justin Bieber, it limits their music since pop is about sex (like it or not).

Anyway, Nick is a bore and I personally believe he's a massive prude. Happy to his career go down the shitter. He can take the self-hating Mendes with him.

I still love my Nick. Loved him since we were both young teens (he’s 1 year older than me).

Too many moles

R88 And those squinty eyes are annoying.

He’s my favourite flop. He’s flopulous.

[quote] "Nick Jonas's new era is a total flop."

Oh, dear.

Has he been taking notes from Madonna?

Also: I'm the only one, but I've always thought Kevin was the cutest Jonas brother.

I like the album. This Is Heaven and Deeper Love are my favorite tracks. And I agree that releasing the title track as first single was a mistake.

....

Apparently there are different Spaceman album versions available. One has extra tracks like Close (which was released as a single in 2016).

I love chubby, cubby Nick Jonas. This photo is everything.

Agree r95. Sexy af.

How tall is Nick? I am guessing about six feet?

R97 supposedly 5'9.

Unbumping Madonna threads...

He's 5'6.

Still adorable but I hated seeing him reduce himself to "The Voice". Dumb move.

Looks like some people are now coming to believe that Nick's marriage to Priyanka is fake and that the timeline doesn't add up for when they claimed to have gotten together.

[quote]Still adorable but I hated seeing him reduce himself to "The Voice". Dumb move.

Not to be unkind but I don't really think Nick Jonas (or any of the Jonases) doing "The Voice" is really that much of a comedown. To my knowledge (and I admit I don't follow their careers), they've never been regarded as iconic in terms of the music industry, so appearing on a reality competition show would just seem more of a lateral career move for them than a fall from grace. In contrast, if it were performers like McCartney, Springsteen or Streisand reducing themselves to shows like "The Voice," then that would likely be seen as a definite comedown but the Jonas Brothers, not so much.

To this point, I was really more surprised when Mariah agreed to appear as a judge on "American Idol" given her status in the industry, though I guess it could be argued that in its heyday "Idol" was such a ratings phenomenon (and her career had hit enough of a slump) that it wasn't so difficult to understand.

I still think he’s gay. Same with Kevin. And I have Joe pegged as bi (maybe he’s gay too). All of their relationships seem fake, like that purity ring shit they pulled. Sad that their upbringing has led to this.

[quote] Is that the closeted one, the gay one, the one with diabetes, or the one married to the Indian?

He’s four, Four, FOUR, brothers in One

All the brother’s are gorgeous and I certainly don’t mind seeing them around singing or what not!

Well, once he relaunched his career by gaybaiting new fans, he left us, and doesn't even do any LGBT philanthropy anymore. He also really fits the definition of mediocre white male and never would have made it as a singer without the resources he had growing up.

[quote] All of their relationships seem fake, like that purity ring shit they pulled.

To be fair, they were pressured to do that by their management. And, I believe, both Joe and Nick claim to regret that "purity ring" stunt.

Overall, Spaceman grew on me. I like it a lot more than before.

At least Demi Lovato didn’t abandon us (they were both working for the same audience at the time).

I don't know . he seemed to reach a new level; with "Jealous" and the TV stuff and the hot pics of him all grown up -- and then he's on "The Voice"? As hausfrau as one can get? It baffled me the same way Justin Timberlake's fall from grace for no real reason did.

P.S. He was adorable announcing the Oscar noms with his wife, another rather tony gig for him. Now he's "over"?

When is this dude who overdoes the annoying squinty-eyed face as if he were perpetually squeezing hard and painful turds out of his shithole gonna have some kids with that huge Indian matron he has for wife? Oooooooh, das rite, das rite, he ain't even straight. He already bearded with that other pro beard Olivia Culo, who's now bearding for CMC

JT's fall from grace was taking too many long breaks between albums, getting too old and having a kid thus no longer young and sexy and generally looking like a boring middle-aged redneck despite still trying to sound like a young black dude from the hood.

R104 your gaydar needs a tune up…Joe Jonas is the legit gay one, nick is pandering and Kevin is nerdy chic

r113 Nick is Jonas is GAY, get it through your motherfucking head: no straight dude would ever get married to an Indian woman a decade older after 2 months (more like 5 minutes) of fake dating and still be childless after so many years of marriage (especially since the aforementioned Indian matron can't exactly afford to wait too long being 39 already)

So R114, by that logic, does that mean you believe Joe is straight since he and his wife have already had a child? Just curious.

r104 Don't know about the other 2 (who have daughters btw), but Nick is as gay as they come: his contrived relationship with Potranka (who's so much bigger and taller and darker and older and with whom he has ZERO chemistry) is by far and away the most shameless bearding contract in the history of mankind. Makes Gaylor Swiffer Duster's relationships with men seem legit in comparison

r114 how else would he have it? He's gotta be at least bi

r104 Not to mention Nick has that other beard Olivia Culo on his résumé (the one who's fake dated him, Tim Tebow, Zedd and the current one, breaking up with them overnight for no reason whatsoever all the while fucking her trainer, among many others)

R116 So, now the Klan grannies who always attack Sparkle are going after Nick's Indian wife. We all need to hunt you cunts down and crush your brittle bones.

r119 I congratulate you on managing to bring Meghan Markle into this. I didn't think it was possible to do it in a thread about Nick Jonass low album sales. But DL always finds a way.

I think he's too short to be an actor.

I dont believe for a minute that Nick and Priyanka bought a 20million dollar house in Encino.

R122 Especially because she always seems to be by herself without her fake husband by her side

As many in this thread have already mentioned, Nick Jonas has a crappy voice and no personality. The only times he or the talentless Jonas Brothers have a hit is when every few years they occasionally happen upon a well written and well produced song in a style that meets the moment. Jealous and Cake By The Ocean come to mind. The new song with Marshmello isn't bad either. But any of those songs could be sung by any other random male artist and sound not just as good, but better. They are cardboard cookie cutter 'pop stars' who continuously try to fit into any role that may work--any style of music at all (whatever is hot at the moment) because they have no style of their own whatsoever. They have no charisma, no x factor, there's absolutely no there there.

Nick Jonas has never been a consistently big seller as a solo act.

He only ever had one top ten single, "Jealous", and that was 6 years ago. He made the top 20 a couple of other times, but most of his singles have flopped. He released a bunch of songs throughout 2017 and 2018, and none of them even made the Hot 100.

He gets a lot of attention because of his sex symbol status, but in terms of having actual hits and people buying and streaming his music, he's mostly been an underperformer.

This latest flop is more the rule than the exception.

[quote]Justin Timberlake's fall from grace for no real reason did...

People realized what an asshat he is...once that happened, a circling of the drain was expected.

Is Nick more successful with his producer work? I seem to recall he was doing something in Germany, like a managing a bad or something?

We are taking our revenge with Nick Jonas' gay-baiting. Enough.

Anyone think that humorless nasty bitch wife brought down Justin? I don't remember a gradual slide, just aq complete disappearance from music and film alike.

R127 No

INSTAGRAM: Nick Jonas (@nickjonas): "First day of tech rehearsal for Jersey Boys!"

This Is Heaven never took off.

Poor Nick, he cant even keep it straight where he met his wife.

[qutoe] INSTAGRAM: Nick Jonas (@nickjonas): "First day of tech rehearsal for Jersey Boys!"

You gotta give it to him. He keeps getting gigs.

None of them have great voices…not a one.

R135 But Joes is much better than Nicks. Nick seems like it would hurt when he sings.

He thinks he's like Joe but he's not good like him.

He better sticks with Jonas Brother and abandon his solo career. I'm loving their latest single Leave Before You Love Me which is shaping to be a hit.

.....

He needs to do gay porn, that will jumpstart his career.

r138

19 is not a hit.

R141, it's successful enough to be considered a hit. It reached the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. It will most likely be on the Year End Top 100 songs.

r142

No, a hit is at least top ten.

R143, so Patti LaBelle’s song “New Attitude” or Bonnie Tyler’s “Holding Out For a Hero” weren’t hits?

The truth is his marriage hurt him.

Marriage can hurt some male celebrities. No one wants to hear her eye candy whores gush about their wives.

The same thing happened to Usher and Justin Timberlake if you ask me. Once they got married, a lot of their appeal went away.

R145, the same thing happened to Shania Twain.

R145 Eyecandy? LOOOOOOL Guy's average at best, Mea Culpo was outshining him

He's 3 feet tall !!!
