Brown cow, stunning! Joined: 7 December 2009 Posts: 67,176 User: 10,139	QUOTE(mr_aly @ Apr 10 2015, 01:13 PM) I listened to 'Chains' and 'Teacher', LOVE them. I never imagined I'd be interested in a Nick Jonas album. I may have to check out the whole thing. It's a brilliant listen, you really must! Especially the Demi collab, Avalanche <3 Oh and Numb with Angel Haze!

I prefer the "Jealous" performance but it was a good choice of cover anyway. Really loving both versions of this at the moment, it would be a great 'surprise' #1 for the chart this weekend!

Also the singing through his teeth and constant grimacing are a bit irritating but he does have a really great tone. I'm delighted 'Jealous' is doing so well over here as it's one of the catchiest songs of the last while. I was sure it was destined to be a low top 10 with minimal staying power.

Delighted to see Jealous doing so well, I think it'll have to settle for #2 by a very small margin but as long as it has longevity I don't mind too much.

I gave the album a listen and it mostly bored me. Aside from the high standard of the first 3 tracks, I did like the Demi collab and 'Take Over'. 'Push' in particular I couldn't last until the end with.

'Push' in particular I couldn't last until the end with. I think the support from Radio 1 is probably going to be key to breaking him - as indeed it already has. If I remember correctly, it was Trevor Nelson's show that was key in breaking the 'Justified' album as he was playing tracks off it before they even became singles - and some months prior to that, he also played *NSYNC's own 'Girlfriend' remix featuring Nelly that went onto become their biggest hit here. Where Nick probably has a slightly better advantage than JT is that there's been a few years distance between the JoBros splitting and him launching a full scale solo assault, whereas when Justin launched the immediate things springing to most people's minds were that breakup with Britney and his haircut. He can shake off his 'past' as it were a lot quicker because they were always bigger a band in the US than they ever were here.

But the JoBros never really held the place in pop culture that NSYNC did; NSYNC rode a teen-pop wave that was central to the pop world at the time, but the JoBros, while big for a couple years, had attachments to Disney that I think kind of relegated them to a niche in most people's minds. *NSYNC's status in pop culture brought heft to their breakup and JT's breakout, but the JoBros just kind of fizzled out after a kind-of hiatus (during which Nick made his first stab at a career outside the band—remember this isn't his first) and a failed comeback. Nick's definitely done well for himself but I don't think his career trajectory is exactly parallel to JT's, and as such I don't think his career will become iconic in the way JT's is. That's not to say he couldn't be a big star on the same level as JT at some point, but I don't think his teen-pop past will define his solo career as much as JT's did for his.

His song is pretty average, nothing great. He's a real poser and think's he is better than he actually is.
