Jonas Brothers: Parents Are Our Greatest Influence

Jonas Brothers: Parents Are Our Greatest Influence

The Jonas Brothers get up close and personal in this snippet of their appearance on Katie Couric’s All Access Grammy Special, which aired last night (February 4) on CBS.

The musical trio dished on their greatest influence as well as who they would love to dine with. Check it:

On their greatest influences:
Nick: “My father, Kevin Jonas, Sr. And also, my musical influences people like Elvis Costello, Johnny Cash, and Prince.”
Joe: “For me, as a performer, I would definitely say Bono and, of course, Mick Jagger. As a family figure, my Dad.”
Kevin: “My mother and father, they influence me greatly not only in a business sense but as a person. Musically, John Mayer, Johnny Cash, Prince, Elvis Costello, and Brad Paisley.”

On who they would like to dine with:
Nick: “Somebody like Paul McCartney. Someone who’s been doing this for so many years and has a lot of amazing stories to tell.”
Joe: “Jim Carrey. I’m a really big fan of his work!”
Kevin: “Any former president. They had to learn so much in office, I think it would be great to learn from them.”

The JoBros are nominated for Best New Artist and will also be performing at the Grammy Awards. The Grammys air THIS Sunday, February 8th @ 8PM on CBS.

Does anyone even like the Jonas Brothers anymore? They’re so fake! I HATE THEM SOOOOOOOOO FRICKEN MUCH! Joe-Dumbass for breaking up with Taylor Swift…Nick and Kevin aren’t annoying. But the band is sooooooooo 2 years ago. They annoy the hell out of me

Chrissy could not agree with you more. Everything about them has become fake. They are driven by money, and they have zero personality. There are only so many songs you can sing about girls breaking your heart before everyone gets tired of it.

ohh they are super cute
crazy that kevin is named after his dad
that would get confusing lol

what a bunch of fake little b*stards, i wish they would f*ck off already, talentless peices of trash. im sick of all this “we love our family” bullsh*t, who cares.

sadly they will never EVER be as good as any of the artists they listed as their influences.

LOL @ Chrissy/Yoo….yeah, “no one likes the Jonas Brothers anymore”…keep dreaming haters.

They are less fake than 99% of celebs out there, easily. If it makes you feel better to think their songs and personalities are shallower than Taylor Swift’s, good for you, but you must be deaf/dumb/blind!

Jonas Brothers rule.

Chrissy @ 3:06 pm on 02/05/2009

BAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHHAHHAHA…..

Gosh your so right ‘pffft’ awesome name by the way..Mind if I steal? xD

I’m such a hater,I be drinking that haterade! Nahhhhh,though. Seriously,the Jonas Brothers are old news. Like yoo said you can only sing so much about getting your heart broken by girls. And I’m also getting sick of hearing how close they are with their family. NO ONE GIVE’S A FLYING CRAP! Anddddddddd Joe He’s always wearing those tight ass skinny jeans so you can see the outline of his small meat. LALALLALLAA, they should just go have sex with some girls..And become man! They’re the new backstreet boys,and just like them…Everyone forgot em. So Jonas Brothers your fame was nice why it lasteddddddddd! ;)

All Time Low @ 4:36 pm on 02/05/2009

hahaha nice rant, Chrissy

But the jonas brothers made over $80 Million last year. Thats right, they were in the top ten celebrities of 2008… whether you like them or not, they are rich and therefore doing something right.

and FYI skinny jeans on guys is hot. All my friends do it. Its a band guy thing.. but its hot. your just confused

yoo @ 4:41 pm on 02/05/2009

yea 2008 was their year, and like most boy bands once they peek, they fall, they wont maintain it. :) so sad, but not really.

#16
Chrissy @ 5:34 pm on 02/05/2009

Gosh,I know I’m sooooooo confused. Wtf? Nice though.

Uhm…Certain boys CAN pull off the skinny jeans,he’s not one of them. You can’t sing that kind of music and pull off the look of skinny jeans. Only the GOOD bands with HOT guys can,The Maine,We Are Kings..Bands like that.

I’m stupid? Yeah,okay. That’s why I’m probs smarter then you. U R STUPIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD! How about YOU ARE STUPID! Nice try though,again.

So true the Jonas Brothers ROCK love them all so much. To “Chrissy” are you seriously that bored with your life? and if they annoy you so bad why are you even on here? yeah you must really “hate” them to even comment on them. Same with “yoo” & “jimmy_choo_freak”. Just take your neggative statements against them and get the hell out of here cause no one gives a damn on what you idiots have to say. And yeah all 3 of U R STUPIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. Truth hurts sorry………NOTTTT. Oh and btw “Chrissy” “his small meat”? perverted much? why would you even want to notice? that I’m a die hard Jonas fan and I dont even look at them in that kind of way.

hey “nicky jonas”, obv you care what ppl say if you wrote a huge paragraph to complain about it hahaha. you must be bored with your life. free speech, and if they want to say what they want about jb, positive or negative they can. i personally dont like them, i can say it, and that doesnt make me stupid..just because people dont like a band you obv love way to much, you dont need to get overly angry.
