Nick Jonas has essentially turned the publicity tour for his self-titled debut solo album into a tease campaign directed exclusively at gay men that want to sleep with Nick Jonas. Is he trying to release an album here or is he trying to ask us out? The suspense is killing us. It’s brilliant. (We’d say yes.)
The former JoBro launched his new single “Jealous” at two different gay clubs in Manhattan last week, flashing his beautiful abs for the crowds at both and even dancing on stage with some shirtless go-go boys at one.
He continued the week by telling MTV that he “loves [his gay fans] to death,” and later in an interview with HuffPo, he demonstrated some of the poses he may strike during his character’s gay sex scenes in Kingdom.
In his latest interview on Friday, Nick reached even further down our pants by admitting to Logo that the Jonas Brothers never did enough for their gay fans, and that he thinks we’re “incredible” and “fun.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
I grew up doing theater here in New York, surrounded by [the gay community] and loving it and loving all the friends I made at a very young age. When my brothers and I started touring and had some success, naturally they became a pretty big part of our following, and I don’t know that we ever did enough to really own that.
This time around, with my career, and my steps I’m taking, I really want to make an effort to embrace the community with wide open arms, and they’re the best fans in the world.
STOP, Nick! We’re blushing!
They have very good taste, as well, which I think is incredible.
Yes, Nick. But our taste may be acquired. You should try it sometime.
Check out the interview below:

Whatever he is doing, is working.
The Jonas brothers are irrelevant for quite some time, and his two last singles flopped big time, but Jelous got a quite warm reception on radio, maybe it will fade away in a couple of weeks, but right now it looks like a possible hit, wich is not easy for a former teen star trying to launch his adult career

Cha Ching!

I am so over fake lesbians.
Pistolo
Well, he’s got a good business plan. Appeal to a gay audience and don’t be gay so girls can still like you and gay guys, for whatever reason, still lust after you in spite of doubled unattainability.
Sweet Boy
Right…I am running to buy his CD…

“They’re the best fans in the world..they’re a big part of our following when we were touring…they have the best taste.” …Ah huh.
You were a manufactured by Disney band. I’m sure you did have gay fans but trust me. It wasn’t your crappy music they were interested in.
Billy Budd
Come on, being friendly is a positive thing, even if he makes mediocre music. He is also cute.
sportbehr
he is just pandering his sexuality to the gay community… don’t get me wrong he is hot… but his last two songs bombed so lets market to the next group through his sexuality
Silas Wegg
He needs to calm down or he’s gonna bust his nut before he gets it all the way in.
JoBros did have a few good songs, Burnin Up & SOS among them. Then there are BB Good & Lovebug — lol at the titles.
michael mellor
His voice is better than Taylor Swift’s, I’ll grant him that.
Red Meat
His brother came out so e is trying to show he loves him before that story breaks
martinbakman
@Red Meat: In the past the Jonas Bros hooked into that fat azz x-tian homophone Rick Warren. Now it’s ‘oh we’re fine with gays anyway’? Hmmmm…..
Merv
Which @Red Meat: Which Jonas brother supposedly came out? Both his brothers from the band seem pretty straight.
rkswarhol
like him, love him, believe he is sincere—–interesting tho that
in the video here, he is totally unable to use/say the word ‘GAY’……
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
Damm, I need to go in a little earlier than I thought to have my Gaydar annual checkup………
Joe was the one that was always pinging for me……………

Being a friend with the gay community is big money … Just look what it did for Gaga

@coffeeaugur: But he is not a female diva.
At least till now i don’t know any male singer who really owes his success to gay fans (not even gay singers like Adam Lambert or Sam Smith). There are a good bunch of them with big gay following and some of them really look for that gay audience (Enrique Iglesias is a perfect example), but all of them really owe their success to female audiences.
Nick was in a boyband being a teenager (he was really young when the Jonas Brothers were big). Everything we know make us belief that they have little control over their careers or even their personal lifes (i doubt nobody believes that Taylor Swift and Harry Styles were a couple), so i think it’s pretty natural that at the beginning of his solo career he wants to find a different path.
The truth is his single was well received (in a week it peaked higher than the last two Jonas Brother’s songs and any of his brothers songs). Maybe it won’t do nothing in the long run, but at least he had a good start.
He has a new show and it’s normal that he wants the more people to watch it too. I don’t know if he will play a gay character (it will be interesting given the type of show and character he plays) or no, but he is doing his job trying to convince anyone to watch it the show

As Janet would say, “Anytime……Anyplace…”
misterhollywood
He’s a super hot guy. I think his music is OK but I would like to see what else he has:)
The guy has really spent a lot of time in the gym. When you look at his most recent pictures, you can see Nick has really bulked up a lot!
brianmovie
He has a great body and a OK voice, and now he’s coming to the gay community to help prop-up his career.This has been done before and will be done to us again and again.Nothing new here!
