Wake Up and Give Kevin Jonas the Attention He Deserves

Nick. Nick. Joe. Nick. Joe. Joe. Nick. I suddenly noticed that my palms were beaded with sweat. My heart sounded like it was about to beat straight out of my body and onto the sticky, butter-covered floor next to the popcorn sprawled across the theater lobby. Soon it would be my turn in the circle to announce who my favorite Jonas Brother was. This was a big step in my second grade life. In fact this was even bigger than my in class planet presentation (If I couldn’t eloquently talk about Uranus, was I really going to be a successful astronaut?). About 20 of the Disney obsessed girls were circled up in those awkward areas of the movie theater where there is a concession stand, but it is always closed off, unstaffed, and rocking the top 40 hits as piano covers over mediocre speakers. We were stuffed with birthday cake and were sporting the cardboard birthday dunce caps with the elastic band that was simultaneously used as a weapon by your friends when they felt like inflicting pain. We were anxiously awaiting the Jonas Brothers 3D Concert Experience Movie and decided to kill time by sharing our Jo Bro crushes. I had never put too much thought into the decision, but now I was about to make my public statement of where my heart lied. As it was my turn to speak, I heard the name Kevin drop out my mouth. Based off the reaction from the rest of the group, you could tell that my answer was extremely unconventional. I started to rethink if Kevin was even a member of the Jonas Brothers because everyone looked at me like my arms had suddenly turned to legs and started to kick me in the face. Why did no one like Kevin? However, even years later with the Jonas Brothers’ triumphant return, I still stick by my answer. Too many people overlook Kevin Jonas when he is truly the one that deserves all of our attention. After viewing the band’s new documentary on Amazon titled Chasing Happiness, I learned a lot more about the Jo Bros than I could have ever predicted. Joe is surprisingly sensitive, Nick is undeniably a three on the enneagram, and Kevin is certainly the most slept on brother of the group. With the recent release of their album Happiness Begins, I figured now would be a good time to introduce my new topic for the blog. For the next several posts I wanted to bring your attention to the most remarkable, but certainly most ignored brother of the group: Kevin freaking Jonas. Listed in the next post will be a few reasons why you should reconsider your biased opinion against Kevin that is erroneously developed off his poor mutton chops decision of the late 2000s (Come on guys, it was just one style error, give him some grace.).
