OC you ready for tonight?!?!!? Tickets will be at the door!! :)

Nick Jonas Tweets

So I was working on my Facebook Event Pages for my Northeastern Tour coming up in February. It took me a few hours to get them all up to date and ready to publish. When I finished, I decided to check my Facebook profile as I habitually do, and I found Annie Nishida’s comment:

Wow, cool. I decided to check it out for myself


Nick Jonas Page


Woot!


Now I know some people like to make fun of Nick Jonas or have negative things to say about him or the group. But I think a lot of people also have great things to say about him. I actually like his voice. It kind of reminds me of the group Hanson and yes, I liked their music. What can I say, I dig well written pop songs. I think Nick is a pretty good musician, singer, and most of all, a great humanitarian. For those of you who don’t know, Nick has diabetes. I once saw a speech he did (on YouTube) and was impressed with how well spoken he was. I can respect someone who stands up for what they believe in, supports a cause, and takes action.

In the modern age of sex, partying, and materialism, the Jonas Brothers stand as great role models. Yeah, for reals. I don’t see them becoming crack addicts anytime soon. They are well grounded.

So thank you Jonas Brothers for showing the world what kids should grow up to be.

    I def love that article!
    finaly a positive message about them from a grown man like you, so thanks for it.

  • ZaXo K.

    Man, that would be an honor. Kudos! You deserve it.

    I definitely agree here as well. I don't much like the Jonas Brothers' music (though Lovebug grows on ya) but they are fairly good musicians, and much better role models than most teen celebrities. It's good that they are popular, and I hope they continue to grow in musicianship quality and popularity.

    Aww, I'm so happy for you David! It shows the rest of us aren't crazy for thinking you're awesome! And true the Jonas Brothers (although I'm still not sure who is who) are great role models. Hopefully, they keep it up. :) And yeah “Love Bug” is cool, reminds me of a Beatles song. And some of us still have morals, thank you very much. :) **I reserve the right to make fun of the middle Jonas who danced in tights to “Single Ladies” though.

    I agree. There should be more coordination between the words “celebrity” and “role-model”. These are icons that millions of people look up to and adore. Why can't they exemplify good qualities and morals? The media always distorts a society, expose the worst in people, and glorifies the worst aspects of life, and can you blame? The communities seldom see great people in the spotlight, because great people know that they don't really require one to live their life. But I agree: in this time, role-models in popular culture are necessary.

    “The communities seldom see great people in the spotlight” very true! The sad reality is that the good stuff isn't very “entertaining”.

    Wow, Somehow I can see you becoming as famous ( or even more famous ) as him. And thank you for saying such wonderful things about JB, they deserve it.

    BTW: I Love your voice.

  • liamcluvzjb

    I am extremely glad that you have said such positive things about the Jonas Brothers (music and personalities, though I do think they (especially Nick) are more than just good musicians). Imparticular @Nickjonas (he truely is the one with the true raw great talent). The world needs more role modles like them. I sincerely believe the world would be a much better place is we were to try and be half what they are.

    Well said! I don't like the jonas brothers but they are good role models for the children.
    I prefer your voice ^^

    Wow! I'm impressed about your comment. I mean, I'm so agree with you but isn't common that a guy have a good opinion about the Jonas Brothers. They're so talented and you're right, they are a role models! I'm so proud of them because although that they're so popular they have been always the same guys

    im not a fan of the jonas brothers but i do agree they are good role models for the children being bombarded with so many negative images. plus i mean he listens to you. thats like + a million right there. :]

  • MaryB

  • meganagan

    I SO agree with you David. The talent coming out of Disney Channel record deals has become such a joke but I think they finally got it right with the Jo Bros. People hate on them so much, but they don't deserve it one little bit. They are actually decent musicians, write catchy and intelligent lyrics, and don't get all wrapped up in the fame. They really do stay grounded and that's refreshing. Who cares if their pants are sometimes too tight, they rock it!

  • Ambrosia

    I concur, very well said David! It's sad to see all the hate comments on their YouTube page and videos. Usually, all I see are people saying very negative things followed by obscene and derogatory names, mostly because of their beliefs and the person's bias. They are very talented and VERY nice guys, it's sad that THEY are the ones who get so much hate. Anyway, I love you, your values and your music. Thanks. :)

  • Melissa

    Very well said. Couldn't agree more.

    i don't enjoy the jonas brothers for the most part, there are a few songs i will guiltily admit that i enjoy, but i've always felt like nick jonas was the only jonas brother who was actually musically talented. so congrats david ! (: <3

  • http://twitter.com/airam87 maria

    I agree too david that there is nothing we can hold against them as good role models who want to make a positive impact to the world. They also make good music and have introduced younger people to artists from the 70's and '80's. Nick Jonas will go far with the Administration that has former Prince NPG musicians. Kudos for this blog.

  • andrealeone

    I agree 100%…..that is why Priscilla did the cover of “Who I Am” she as well is a great role model for young people.Glad you feel the way you do, any friend of Chloe's is a friend of ours!Blessings from the team of Suite101eg

    boom im still on here.
    follow me, i love nick jonas…

  • Liz

    @iamandge: I've always thought Kevin was a better guitarist than Nick. Nick just plays a lot more instruments.

    I don't think he's a particularly great songwriter and I don't think he's that great of a role model either, but then he's just a kid. I may change my mind in a few years when he's a full-grown adult, but as for now I'd be careful about directing younger kids to be just like Nick Jonas.

  • James Choi

    That was such a great thing to say man.

    Thank you for pointing it out,

    I also saw his video where he spoke about his diabetes and I can fully understand that the Jonas Brothers are FIRMLY well grounded.

    Very well-spoken. I like how you inform, it's really good!

  • sammem

    Totally agree! And congrats on the compliment, Nick Jonas speaks the truth!

  • http://www.davidchoimusic.com David Choi

    Which pre-teenagers/teens ARE good role models these days? I honestly can't name any off the top of my head.

  • hLindsey90

    You like Hanson? You should cover a Hanson song! You could do a barbershop video like your Fireflies or Hey Soul Sister ones. It would be perfect :)

    Cool blog post, congrats on getting tweeted by Nick Jonas!

  • joshfordham

  • Deee

    Hmmm. I wonder what you would say about Nick if he hadn't tweeted that haha. Nevertheless we don't need some Disney Channel popstar to vouch for your talent. Fight on!

  • prexo16

    yeah, a lot of people have said a lot of bad things about this guy. i'm not exactly his fan, but i don't think that's being fair to him, or to anyone, for that matter. plus, he has great taste in music, yours as my first example. :D

  • rubanaire

    I'm Jealous. Congrats on this! He promoted you to LOADS of people haha.

    But it's not much of a shock, your awesome singer/beat maker.

    :]]

  • yanile

    congrats!!
    but you earned it cause your a great singer/musician:)

    OMG you and Hanson are some of my most favorite artists. You should totally cover a Hanson song.
    And while I don’t like the Jonas Brothers’ music, I do respect them for setting a good example for children, especially Nick.
