I was too old to enjoy the Jonas Brothers when they were a thing the first time, but I wasn’t too old to creep on Nick Jonas when he went through his solo acting/pop star phase and he got all beefy. Like, when he was with Olivia Culpo, I thought Nick was HOT. Two of the JoBros found success outside of the brother-band – Joe Jonas was part of DNCE, which had some bangers, and Nick had a pretty successful solo career. Nick’s “Chains” is still my jam, quite honestly. So… the brothers are back together. They released their first single, “Sucker,” and a music video. The video stars all of their wives/partners: Sophie Turner (who is engaged to Joe), Danielle (married to Kevin) and Priyanka Chopra (married to Nick about fifty times over). The music video is set in a castle and all of the ladies are playing… like, princesses or queens or something? And the JoBros are their entertainment? Here’s the video:
Maybe I’m not young enough to get it. Maybe I’m not up on all of the royal references either, because I don’t really think the music video makes much sense from a storytelling perspective. But sure, it’s cool to see the JoBros all grown up with their wives and partners, and it’s cool to see Sophie, Danielle and Priyanka all participating in the music video.
(Whispering quietly… but the song isn’t great, right?)
My wife is soooooo beautiful in this video!!! How lucky am I?!! #SUCKER @jonasbrothers @priyankachopra

Nick and Priyanka are always laying it on so thick. Makes me cringe.
Every time I see pictures of them, it always looks like she’s way into him and he’s just.. not feeling it lol
They do have a strange dynamic, IMO. I agree with Kaiser, he was hottest with Olivia Culpo. I think they “matched” or whatever. Priyanka seems too out of his league.
Really? To me Nick is very hot, though very young! Ahem.
They are so EXTRA. It makes my skin crawl.
Ha ha ha ha ha with a side of ha ha ha ha ha and a liberal sprinkling of Ha!
Ha! This video is highly entertaining, but not in the way they probably hoped.
*whispers*
I like it. I think it’s cute, and it’s like they just wanted to hang out with their wives and do a music video. I kind of even like the lyrics, especially when Joe is singing about dancing on top of cars and stumbling out of bars.
I have had a terrible morning and this is cheering me up.
I also likeit. it’s a bad song, but the music video is fun. It looks like Sophie has about three times the personality of any of the others.
I legit never got sophie and Joe as a couple, but seeing them in this video I get it, and I’m here for it, their fun, young, she’s smoking hot, and they had the only real chemistry. It’s cute. I approve of them now, they may proceed with their engagement.
I kinda like it. The video is weird AF but the song is catchy. Still feels like it should be teenagers singing it… but it’s fun.
*Whispers back*
Me, too. This is cute and makes me happy on a crappy Friday. <3
Hope your day gets better, HPLizL
You too EMB!
I like it too. Its catchy and the video is fun and totally over the top in a cheesy way that the JoBros seem to be embracing.
I thought I was crazy. I think the song is catchy and the music video is so cheesy and I kind of love it.
I always listen to songs without seeing the video first and I did not expect to like it so much! I think it’s fun, bouncy, and catchy.
I also think the video is cute, and it looks like they had a lot of fun making it. Sophie does DIVA really well!
I should add I’m way older than their demographic, and not typically a fan. It’s just a fun song.
The fourth brother didn’t get an invitation to the band again I guess.
Haha! Well….they certainly tried a thing! 😂
Wasn’t it Kevin Jonas and his wife who had the tweets announcing their kid’s birth sponsored by advertisers? Sponsored weddings, sponsored births…..what’s next a sponsored conception? Yep, no famewhores in this family! 😂
Nick Jonas got married? I must have missed it.
Bahaha. This made me snort-laugh my Friday morning coffee. Thanks:-)
It was interesting to watch. I laughed during the opening when Priyanka had her grand entrance. 50 weddings weren’t enough to quench the attention thirst.
I think that song is really catchy but can’t help notice the similarities with Portugal the Man’s “feel it still” They are like REALLY similar and PTM is the better song, altough the JoBros is catchy as I said. That video looks fun but I still cringe a little 😛
Yes!! I think the intro sounds just like that song from PTM too!!
A lot of people my age were excited for them to come back. I wasn’t one of them lol. I think their revival is more for Joe’s ego than any of the others cuz his career hasn’t really taken off the way he wants too (i.e solo). I wonder how long the whole thing will last
I haven’t watched (waiting for wifi) but I like this idea.
Video looks like Tyra produced it for ANTP, that’s not a compliment
lmao
Totally agree
The video seems to be referencing the Favorite with it’s 3 female leads, and appears to have been shot on the same sets. The message is the three women are royalty and have the power.
Poor Kevin. I think his mic and amp are unplugged. Looks more like the Nick and Joe show. Song is catchy. I didn’t turn it off after 15 seconds so that says something.
LOL It’s always been the Nick and Joe show! I wasn’t really into them but I was camp counselor from 2006-2010 right around the height of their fame and my campers were obsessed with them. I remember their TV show on the Disney Channel, Camp Rock, and Kevin’s short lived reality show with his wife on E called Married to Jonas. Kevin has always been the odd one out and always featured as the stupid and goofy one on all their shows/movies.
This is a mindblowingly bad song and video like there are Maroon 5 videos/songs I’d rather have on. And I even am partial to a lot of cheesy pop.
So Kevin got a 5 second whistling solo? Lol. Was he always the Posh? I am too aged for the JoBros.
Lol! I was wondering the same.
I never understood the hype around this band but it is a cute music video. I really like Sophie.
my toddler is obsessed with the song cake by the ocean. we watch the video every day. joe jonas is empirically hot. incredibly so.
I did not know until this moment that a Jonas was responsible for Cake by the Ocean. My mind is blown. Thank you.
lol I can’t wait for your toddler to understand the true meaning of the phrase Cake By the Ocean. It’s kind of when I got older and realized most of the Spice Girls lyrics I loved singing as a kid were all a euphemism for… something else.
It’s not terrible. It’s relatively fun. My main take away is that Danielle and Priyanka are very preoccupied with looking “sexy” versus Sophie, who is just having a blast (she’s a better actress than Priyanka is. There. I said it).
+1 except I think Danielle just looked super nervous
Danielle gets a pass because she’s not a professional actress/famous person. I think she’s really shy. Priyanka annoys me so much, but I adore Sophie.
Yeah, Sophie was the best part of it. Her and Joe looked like they were having hella fun. The others were aight
While I like this video, I can’t help but think that any number of female artists would get slammed if they had their real-life loves in their music video.
Probably.
Like JLo with Ben Affleck?
Kevin’s outfit was better when Beyonce wore it.
@ Jenzies-your comment makes me WANT to see this, HA 🤣
The Jonas family give the Kardashians a run for their money when it comes to attention whoring. If only the Kardashians weren’t so hellbend on fetishizing black men, then they could marry the Jonas Brothers and be one big dysfunctional family of fame whores.
My 25 year old daughter excitedly informed me this week that the Jonas Brothers are back. And she just saw Justin Timberlake in concert with three of her BFFs and loved it. Glad to see her and her friends so happy about their music. 🎶 🎼 🎤 My last concert was Paul Simon and before that Fleetwood Mac, Rascal Flatts (twice) and Dave Matthews (twice). To each.
I think the song is very uninspired and generic. I watched the video and found myself feeling embarrassed for all of them. It is over the top cheesy and I didn’t get the connection between the music and video. I think all of this is so below Priyanka. It feels like they are marketing that marriage a lot, which is a recipe for disaster. I hate to be so negative, so I will say everyone looked good in the video at least. 🤷♀️
Okay, I hate that I’m typing this…..I’m just thrilled something isn’t littered with four letter words that can play on my radio without me being like ‘OMG THEY CAN SAY THAT ON THE RADIO?!’ I have toddlers in the car and I NEVER realized how many four letter words were on the radio until my toddler says them! Sophie could have stared in this solo. She’s a great actress. This song is fun. My toddler just yelled DANCE PARTY MOMMA!
I LOVED IT! I think it’s way sexy and fun…come on ladies, lighten up with all your snarky comments. I think it’s adorable & hot that they used their wives & fiancee instead of tweerking, jerking in-your-face dance eXXXtras!!! The song is catchy and cool, very on the dance floor.
Priyanka seems to be inordinately featured compared to Sophie and Danielle. We get it, she can do sultry very easily but visually it looks so awkward because I still do not buy her and Nick as a couple. And I never will!
Sophie and Joe are cute and I noticed we don’t see Danielle too much but I remember her saying awhile back she has a lot of anxiety. So I’m guessing that’s why we see Sophie and Priyanka more (and Sophie does act way better on camera than Priyanka).
Are those clothes they’re wearing on their album cover for real or are they trying to be funny/ironic?
Each time I listen to a Jonas Brother’s song (apart from the SOS one that I kinda like), I always think it is rather badly produced and just boring. This one is the same. It’s boring pop. It’s not catchy, the voices aren’t great and the lyrics are bleh.
That being said, I like that they included their three s.o others in the video, including Danielle who is not an actress.
I honestly was never into the Jonas Bros but this song is catchy and the wives being in the video makes it cute. Also, I’ve seen them on the James Corden’s show and they were all funny.
