Go To

1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
2** "World War III"
3** "Shelf"
4** Their cover of "Poor Unfortunate Souls".
5** "Heart and Soul" from Film/CampRock 2. Say what you want about the group or the movie, you will love that song.
6** 'Live to Party'
7** 'That's the Way We Roll'
8** 'Hold On'
9** Their cover of 'Year 3000' is still pretty good.
10** 'Play My Music'
11** 'Live to Party'
12** "Sucker"
13* BrokenBase: Nick Jonas and Joe Jonas' solo projects. Some love Joe's solo album ''Fastlife'', while others hate it, the same for Nick Jonas And The Administration's ''Who I Am''.
14** And when Nick and Joe cover each other's songs, there will, inevitably, be fights that break out over whether or not the brother covering it is doing it better than the original.
15** ''Lines, Vines And Trying Times'' qualifies. Fandom's pretty evenly split on whether to love it or hate it, since it's something of a departure from their previous straight-up pop rock sound.
16** And a new one: With Joe and Nick using [[PrecisionFStrike Precision F Strikes]] during the reunion era, the fandom's pretty divided as to whether it just doesn't bug them, or whether it sounds cheap and is just an attempt by the band to get people to see they've "grown up".
17** Their single "Pom Poms" has already turned into this. There seems to be three camps about it: 1. They hate the lyrics (and the [leaked] music video) and miss their old sound, circa "A Little Bit Longer". 2. They like both and see no problems with it. And 3. the group who think it's over-hyped and doesn't live up to it.
18*** "Pom Poms" is even a base-breaker critically. There's some who think it's a great pop song that's meant to be fun, and then there's some who hate it and claim it lacks depth.
19** Whether their cover of Music/{{Busted}}'s 'Year 3000' is better or lesser than the original, or just works in its own right.
20* CriticalDissonance: A given, considering that critics usually see them as a {{Boyband}} first, 'legitimate musicians' second.
21* CoveredUp: Their "clean" version of "Year 3000" is better known than the original version in America (the All Music reviews of their albums seem to think they wrote it).
22* FanonDiscontinuity: ''Lines, Vines And Trying Times'', since it's divisive, and some fans prefer to pretend it (and the brothers' respective solo careers) never happened.
23* FandomEnragingMisconception: Saying they wrote 'Year 3000' or that it's better than the original Busted version ''will'' get most Busted fans mad at you, who either disagree or are salty that the [=JB=] version is more widely known than the original.
24* FanNickname: Frankie is often called the "Bonus Jonas".
25* FridgeHorror: With "Wedding Bells", which all but outright states that the singer got drunk upon hearing the news, as well as the line "if I fall asleep, then wake me up cause I'm trying to see the light", which carries the implications of suicidal thoughts. (And, like "Black Keys" and "A Little Bit Longer", Nick wrote "Wedding Bells" on his own.)
26* FriendlyFandoms: Surprisingly friendly with the 30 Seconds to Mars fanbase. The Jonas Brothers reunion show at Radio City Music Hall was aired live on Mars' online music pay-per-view event service, [=VyRT=]. This made them the first band besides 30 Seconds to Mars themselves to stream a concert with the service. The Mars fanbase, the Echelon, took time on the [=VyRT=] site and other social networks to answer questions about the service, help overseas fans figure out what time the stream would be airing, and explain to the parents of Jonas fans that, yes, their credit card info WILL be safe if they pay for the ticket. Most Jonas Brothers fans appreciated the help. Of course, there was the occasional FlameWar and some Echelon members were merely assisting Jonas Brothers fans because the financial and critical success of the Radio City show stream would benefit [=VyRT=] and Mars in the long run.
27* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk1MANaha9k "Oh, how the tables have turned."]] And [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rP-KFnYg6Hw Joe dancing to "Single Ladies"]].
28* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
29** "Hold On". Definitely.
30--> When you love someone
31--> And they break your heart
32--> Don't give up on love
33--> Have faith, restart
34--> Just hold on
35--> Hold on
36--> Hold on
37--> Hold on
38** For a song like "What A Man Gotta Do" or "Sucker", you'd expect the boys would end up dancing with random models for the video. Instead, they dance with their real life wives, Danielle Jonas, Creator/SophieTurner, and Creator/PriyankaChopra, and it's clear just how much everyone involved loves each other.
39* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Nick Jonas played Marius in ''Theatre/LesMiserables'' rather well.
40* HeartwarmingInHindsight:
41** For the Busted fans who think the Jonas Brothers slighted them by not saying their version of 'Year 3000' is a cover of their song for so long, them bringing them up to perform the song with them at the Capital Summertime Ball 2019 may be this.
42** In the years since they regrouped, the band has gone out of their way multiple times to acknowledge Music/{{Busted}} as the originators of 'Year 3000' after years of (admittedly on Kevin's part) not having done that & letting people assume ''they'' wrote the song. As Busted unfortunately [[{{Pun}} crashed and burned]] trying to make it in America, them trying to get them some more international fans helps quell the Busted fans have with their cover being more widely known than the original. Joe and Nick guesting on the 2.0 guest feature rerecorded version of the song, with Nick even singing the original chorus lyrics "pretty fine" instead of "doin' fine" like he does the changed lyrics live in a pretty nice touch, is also very nice for those who lament the changed lyrics.
43* HilariousInHindsight: "Video Girl" is about girls in music videos and how they aren't going to do it again. Following his break-up with Music/TaylorSwift, Joe Jonas dated (and then split with) Camilla Belle, who was in the video for "Lovebug".
44%% * IncestYayShipping: And how, with a surprisingly large portion of the fandom.
45* LauncherOfAThousandShips: All three. Joe's been paired with his girlfriends, [[IncestYayShipping his brothers]], any one of the other Disney stars, male or female. Nick's gotten the same treatment, and even Kevin's gotten in on it. (And one of the most popular pairings for Kevin is him and Creator/ZacEfron.)
46* MemeticMutation: "Burnin' Up" got into meme status through how the second verse was sung:
47-->'''Joe''': high heels
48-->'''Nick''': HIIIIIIGH HEEEELS
49-->'''Joe''': red dress
50-->'''Nick''': rEeEEeeeD dREeeeeSs
51* {{Narm}}: Their covers of the two Busted songs they did back in 2006 have some really bad changed lines that don't hold up too well. While 'Year 3000' only has one with changing Michael Jackson to Kelly Clarkson, 'What I Go to School For' has some ''really'' bad line changes to tone down the sexuality of the song to be more family friendly from an, arguably, already narmy song.
52* SpiritualSuccessor: Like the Music/HilaryDuff example, many boy bands came out of them as their spiritual successors: Music/AllstarWeekend, Music/BigTimeRush, and most recently Music/OneDirection, among others. This applies the most to One Direction, as not only are they much bigger than Allstar Weekend and Big Time Rush (and probably the two combined), but they have also been experiencing even ''greater'' success than the Jonas Brothers did.
53* StuckInTheirShadow: Kevin is by far the least famous of the three brothers, due in part to him being the only one who doesn't sing lead.
54* TearJerker: Their new song "Wedding Bells", penned by Nick about Miley Cyrus' engagement.
55--> I don't wanna love
56--> If it's not you
57--> No, I don't wanna hear the wedding bells prove
58--> That we can't try, one last time
59--> No, I don't wanna hear the wedding bells chime
60** "A Little Bit Longer", which was written about Nick's diabetes.
61** "Black Keys", which some have theorized is about self-harm.
62* UnexpectedCharacter:
63** Doubt anyone saw them singing Music/{{McFly}}'s song 'Star Girl' at one of their London concerts in 2009, but you'd probably ''floored'' if the band themselves came out to sing it with them, then [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23JGwATJ1U4 it happened]].
64** Ok, who in the hell saw them inviting Music/{{Busted}} to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEERYu22tb8 this concert for Capital FM]]?
65** And who would've seen them being invited by Busted to guest on the guest feature version of [[https://youtu.be/xaagmebtR2M?si=PYZiMiWofvlg5vFW 'Year 3000 2.0']] in 2023 besides James Bourne?
66* VindicatedByHistory: They were no doubt superstars when they came out, but the backlash from non-fan died down with they hype and many of them eventually realized that, even if they didn't like the songs, the boys were at least skilled musicians.
