Sept. 30, 2019 | Bobby Carter -- The line of NPR staffers waiting to see the Jonas Brothers' Tiny Desk concert began forming four hours before the scheduled performance. Well aware of the actual start time, my colleagues sat patiently on the floor, working on their laptops with coffee in hand. By the time Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas entered the building to chat with Michel Martin - and eventually make their way up to the Tiny Desk - the building was buzzing.
As the trio approached the desk, they were immediately drawn to the knickknacks and toy instruments scattered throughout the area. They ended up working them into their performance, adding a little childlike flair to three selections from their latest album, Happiness Begins, including "Only Human" and a jazzy rework of "Sucker."
It turns out the date of the performance was also Joe's birthday, so our video producer (and proud Joe-Bro fan), Morgan Noelle Smith brought a cake, and the large crowd serenaded him with "Happy Birthday."
The Jonas Brothers announced their reunion in February after a six-year hiatus and soon dropped a new single, "Sucker," which debuted at number one of the Billboard Hot 100. It was the group's first number one. During their time apart, Kevin focused on family, Nick went solo and Joe formed the band DNCE. But watching their joyful and often playful set at the Tiny Desk, it was clear all the chemistry remains alive and well.

ayitsabby omg tysm for commenting this 😭💕
Hes keeping these brothers alive
HAHAHAHAHA freaking died of laughter with your comment
yeah the first time he played was really off haha
He reminds me of Joe Gardner from Soul
My inner child wanted them to do “Burnin Up” 😭
same here
Right I demand a do over...My inner child was expecting "burning up", "love bug", and "Year 3000" 😩😡
yessss. That song is still on my phone, when it plays I'm like ugh why is this still on here? But I would be happy for nostalgia's sake if they played it. lol
Ricardo Hernández kinda, I’m 22
@@NinaMosley7 I knew we had to be similar in age to both be wanting to hear those songs lol. I'm 22 as well and was ready to sing every word to Year 3000.
Nick & Kevin: Let play guitars!
Joe: I got this baby's toy at walgreens I want to use
Hahahha it says in the video description that they were enthralled by all the knick knacks in the room. So he literally found this toy and used it on a whim 😂
Jacquelle Rowell 😂
😂😂
hahahahahahha
Nah but kind of, Bob Boilen just keeps stuff like that around his desk
Nick: Did everyone brought their instruments?
Joe: uuuuuh
Some toddler: I got you fam
Alexandre Costa could’ve been Alena or Valentina...
I laughed so bad 😂
Major flashback on Camp Rock 2 🥴😬
Kevin to the kids: if you wanna be a lead singer, you're gonna have to buy a tighter pants and learn how to play the tambourine.
Nick & Kevin: We're wearing black
Joe: So pink???
I went to their tour recently on Tuesday and Nick and Kevin were in all white and Joe was in black 😂😂
Accurate Joe Jonas energy.
That's why he's in Dnce cuz he's on his own wave lmao
He's a leo...he needs to stand out lol
he's endorsing Taylor Swift's latest album #Lover as a sign that they are a-OK now ;)
Joe playing the mini toy tambourine speaks to me for some reason
It does why 🤫👸👑👑👑👑🤢
omg i didnt realize it was mini🤣
i tot its harry styles
😁
Kevin: Cool Dad
Nick: Old man at heart
Joe: 16 year old at heart
They all balance themselves out
They do
ahh, yes this is exactly them i'm crying
Good description for all of them !! 💕😂
Always was the same, i love My boys 💜🥰
Exactly 😂
This tiny desk is proof to how criminally underrated Joseph Jonas' voice is
Sucker jazzy af is actually so fire. Never would've thought.
Kevin is the shit. He is such a dad in the best ways possible
He actually has a nice voice it’s just a lot deeper than joe and nick I wished he sung more in the songs😢
Joe will always and forever be my favorite jonas brother
Mine too
Same
Agreed
Mine too
Yeah, same here
haha joe forgetting lyrics is so iconic
"Stumbling back to bars" LOL
I'm in love with the pianist.
saaame he's damn cute
Say that aloud 5 times fast.
He looks so gentle and nerdy..lol :D
@@piglet2548 I loved the head in the keys... so cute.
One could say you're *Drawn* to him.. hahaha
I love discovering new, emerging artists on NPR tiny desk. Where are these guys from? Are they really brothers?
Alaskan Pipeline LOL
@@weyheyjackie are they for real? XD
Inbar Peled They’re probably just bullshitting lol
C mamo 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Joe is a big ol goofy kid... but his voice is LEGENDARY!! I love it
Love that Joe's sweatshirt says "Lover"
They got super creative the way they broke these songs down to these stripped down versions. They easily could have just done a simple acoustic version but they added in a lot more to it and changed the vibe of the songs really.
There are some really talented musicians that tour with them, I don’t know if they all are the guitarist on the far right is I believe, he looked familiar as I just saw them live a few days ago. And then of course Jack, the drummer who is crazy good and has been with them since the beginning!
Sounds better than the studio version
I want a jazz album now. 😅❤😊
I like how Joe does Michael Keaton eyebrows when he reaches the high notes.
I’m cracking up lol
His signature look back in the day lol
LOL Michael Keaton you're right 😂😂😂
ME TOO LOL
Mr Bean eyebrows you mean?
Joe has a lot of power behind his voice lol
Joe is a great singer. He has a great vocal control. And beautiful falsete.
…
He was actually pretty pitchy in this performance 😂
I was never into them growing up, but I feel like them deciding to start the band up again was the best idea they probably had on a day at some family BBQ
I was a little too old for them when they came out before, but I'm enjoying their new music.
@@AshesPashes I know right. It feels more mature, which is nice. I feel like their original fanbase also grew up so they will enjoy their music as well
I credit Post Malone for sparking up the idea
recommend watching their documentary (on amazon prime) explains a lot about why they got back together, the whole thing was quite interesting actually!
@@AshesPashes exactly the same for me.
You can totally tell Nick and Joe are always going at it, trying to out do each other. And my man Kevin just be chilling in the back like "Yea. Cool. Whatever dudes. I'm just chillin' playing my guitar."
so right. dem brothers love each other so much
Joe’s tiny tambourine is giving me life 😂
Amber Plaatje i think it might be from one of Kevin's daughters hahah. Cause Joe'a daughter Willa wasn't even born yet at the time.
Joe's vocals own my heart 😭💓
Mate who was here for lovebug?? Pretty heartbroken by this, missed opportunity
sloth dog glad someone said it smh... & where’s year 3000?
omg same!!where is lovebug T_T
sloth dog yep
NICK SOUNDS LIKE HE’S IN PAIN
As usual but we love it
😂😂😂
Have you watched in in the Les Miserables anniversary concert! Very painful-looking as well!
Right? I see how other people could hate it but I love the style 😭😭
Not a huge fan of the way Nick sings 🤷🏻♀️ he looks like he’s in pain even when it comes to the easy notes. And he doesn’t open his mouth up when singing certain notes that it makes all the words sound very closed up/narrow. Not sure how to explain it in musical terms~ I’m more a fan of Joe’s voice. Oh well~ everyone has different tastes/preferences~
@@SwiftieCatLover i love nick, but this whole performance i was like, dude, open your mouth lol
This is why I love NPR’s Tiny Desk! It allows artists to showcase their work in a completely different way. I was never a fan of The Jonas Brothers but I actually enjoyed this and shared it on my social.
I really enjoy seeing this imperfect version of them. It feels like we don’t get to see them without all the frills often enough. They really are very talented on their own and people don’t get to see that. They make mistakes and somehow that makes it better and more real.
I agree!!!
Still crushing on joe since day 1
They sound so good in this format. Pure acoustic and no autotune or effects
I was so addicted to these guys before. I used to have their albums, camp rock magazines, posters, any merch available that I can afford. Men, the flood took them away last 2009. I cried so hard. Wished they never disbanded. So happy they are united again ❤️.
Joe coming through with the vocals in "I Believe". They are all so great ❤
Lovebug would have been a good choice for a Jonas Brothers Tiny Desk Concert, I never expected it would happen but the moment I saw it I was almost sure that it would be in the list.
Me too :(((
That would have been awesome!! " as James Corden said "love bug still slaps"
So Frank Ocean next ? 🙍🏾♂️
I want him here so bad
the world isn’t ready
Please I need to hear novacaine,pyramids,thinking bout you etc!!!!
Speak it into existence 👍
Plssssss
And Joe Jonas did that freaking whistle LIVE! And Nicholas made an unbelievably perfect sounds using toy instruments!!! 😱😱😱
Joe has the most delicious voice I ever heard.....
It's definitely matured and gotten very sexy over the years. Bravo!!
So everyone is going to ignore the fact that he had a tiny tambourine at the beginning during sucker
Sucker literally works with any style of music
00:00 Sucker
4:45 I Believe
9:45 Only Human
Thanks you so much 😎
You deserve the top comment
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
12:58 happy birthday
It’s more of a jazz feel than a pop feel
"Joe has his band DNCE along with Jack (cheers and whoops) I have my solo stuff and movies (only Joe claps) and Kevin has the greatest accomplishment his two beautiful daughters of course (cheers and whoops)
😂😂😂The audience really didn't have to do Nick dirty like that.
Hahaha
This version of '' Sucker '' is just amazing !! 😃😃
I want to hear Kevin sing.
Tbh I would even settle for hearing his guitar. Between the other guitars and bassists, half the time I think I hear him only to realize one of the other musicians is playing it and Kevins strum looks totally different from what I hear... but it totally looks like he is playing so idk.
" I left my heart in Scandinavia" is a song sung by Kevin for their Disney show "Jonas" and it's amazing
Yes! He has a beautiful voice I wish he'd sing more.
@@ohifonlyx33 Great point. No doubt Kevin can play, but every time I see him his parts are being ghosted by someone else. Same way we haven't seen Ringo drumming alone since...I don't know, the 70s?
Joe's soulful delivery of the chorus of Sucker UMMM WHAT
“Only Human” sounds like it could be a track by The Police.
never been a fan but this performance was actually great! love how they incorporated the toy instruments!
Men at work!!!!
Every time they play SUCKER on a live version it sounds different than the original, but I'm not mad. they always ROCK!
Nick left out Joes accomplishments with DNCE. Joe’s voice has seriously grown and he’s perfected his sound. I’ve always loved the Jonas Brothers & always will 🥰
man i live for "I Believe" acoustic version ❤️❤️❤️
I’m so glad that they sang “I Believe”, it’s my favourite off their album and was written about Priyanka😭❤️
I saw the title and was like “...uh what?”. Surprised me with this concert for sure!
this is it. i am 13 years old again
Yeah me too! 😍
I am 13 and a fan😂😂
lol same
It's so easy for Nick to alter his tone, infection, cadence etc. By doing that he can jump from any genre to the next. He effortlessly does it across the board in any setting also. That is talent.
Precisely, everyone’s talking about Joe but Nick has such control over his tuning and tone
@@WHALEx3he’s even more complete as an artist more than Joe in my opinion. Joe has got the power and charisma, but Nick’s got the skills. This guy is an amazing musician. He can play guitar, piano, drums or even other instruments and thinking he learns things by ears which is not easy.
This version of "Only Human" is even more cooler than the original.
I wasn't expecting Jonas Brothers to swing this hard, but I'm into it.
I didn’t know I wanted the Jonas Brothers to come back, until they came back... now I’m sold.
Sameeee, I loved their newest tracks so much!!
Joe wearing a "Lover" Shirt. I'm LIVING FOR IT
I've been looking for this comment
Nick be out there hitting all notes on the right pitch 🔥
Strong dad energy
This a cure I didn't know I needed.
Joe rocking out on that baby tambourine 🤟🔥
Well, I was a huge fan of the Jonas Brothers when I was younger. But I think I underestimated their talent. When Joe went higher with his voice in the chorus I was so surprised.
i would listen them if their album sounded like this.
Actually their newest album is really good! I like all the tracks in it!
I'll check it out thanks
I would not only like to thank god but NPR as well
First time, I'm watching them. Nick's singing voice is different from what I would expect seeing him. His talking voice is coherent but when he sings it's like he's not letting it out naturally...
10:01 his smile though 😭😭😭, ANYONE HELP ME, I'M MELTED
I have never listened to these dudes in my life. These dudes is talented!
🤷🏽♀️Never would have guessed I would like them.
I love the mini tambourine that is using Joe. 😩✨
i love the faces they do when they're singing
These brothers are stupid talented! Their dad got pipes as well 🔥🔥🔥
I never expected this coming from Tiny Desk but I’m loving it
I was not aware Joe could sing bass!!!! Nice!!! He's one of my favorite vocalists currently. Kevin is just *heart eyes*
I love you Nick, I always have and I always will
They are awsome but the thing that i liked the most is that they're actually having a lot of fun! I mean, they're having fun being there
I'm so upset that no one said "Get off that cake!" during the end credits
I was also hoping for a "I dROppeD MY peNCiL"
:( DAMN
I was waiting for Joe to say “you’re f$@#ing delicious.”
JOHN TAYLORRR!!!!
a true missed opportunity
Omg, Melted when Kevin said "I really win but its fine" 😂
Joe is really killin' it here!!!
Never thought I'd see this happen...Also exciting to see what they're capable outside of their production label pressures. Good job guys :)
Always felt like the Jonas brothers had a soulful touch in them ! Love seeing them together 🥰😍🤩
Was waiting for Nick Jonas to but out "Introducing Me" but nevertheless a dream unfulfilled...
Joe always the funny one, love him
We need Panic! At The Disco🔥
sadly not this year. brendon has not yet written anything for the next album : (
So basically just Brendon Urie and his backup band lol
Vro I so can’t wait to see Panic perform! Hopefully next year with his new album we’ll see him perform on here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes
NPR really is the best! They literally get everybody to perform and they usually never disappoint
Love “I believe”😭😭
So I like Joe's tone, Nick's style and I wanna marry Kevin.
so true ✌️
Joe's eyebrow game on point though.
Jack Lawless holding it down on the drums 👏👏👏
'I Believe' is beautiful in every version. I really like the guitar in it.
JONAS IN 2019 WE LOVE TO SEE IT ❣️❣️❣️
Joe is still my fav
Omgg I didn't expect this!!
Those are my books
Joe just slurred on his lyrics... adorable
God I love Joe ❤️
Happy Birthday Joe! Definitely dance in the living room drunk with an attitude!
Really diggin’ this arrangement of Sucker ❤️
I raised my hand when Joe ask for Leo haha
Joe's voice is outstanding.
Its always so much fun to watch the Jonas perform right there in their element, manifesting their raw talent and charisma. Acoustic has always seem to me their very best! Thank u Tiny desk this is awesome
JoBros started when I was 10. I'm 24 and tripping out. This version of Sucker is fantastic
Tiny Tambourine for Joe 😆❤️😆❤️
