Nick’s versatility makes him the superior Jonas

Considering both looks and talent, Nick has his brothers beat.

Nick Jonas is the best Jonas. Change my mind.

Let’s begin with the obvious: that hair. Looking back, Joe and Kevin’s styles were questionable. Nick’s tight locks were always kept classy, though, because they’re naturally awesome. Even weird 2000s styling couldn’t usurp Nick’s natural curls. He’s also the “baby” of the band, making him the cutest. Joe’s looks are undeniable as well, but Nick has an adorable factor that Joe lacks.

Moving on, Nick is the most talented across the board. He has a great voice and star presence — and he’s the only Jonas who has acted beyond their Jonas and Camp Rock roles. He made a surprise appearance in the new Jumanji movie, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017). His acting was superb, showing growth from his Disney Channel days.

Nick also has the most instrumental talent. On the Disney Channel and during performances, he frequently alternates between drums, guitar, and piano, and he simultaneously splits lead vocals with Joe.

While Nick’s and Joe’s voices sound great together, it’s Nick’s voice on the top line that really gives it something extra. Joe is vocally talented as well, but Nick’s voice is certainly the most unique of the band’s. He has a really high tenor range and a sort of raspiness to his voice that translates into a lot of emotion. Just think: Those are the elements that make the iconic “red dress” line so recognizable.

Kevin and Joe simply couldn’t sing the line with the same passion.

This star presence that Nick delivers landed him the best roles on the Jonas Brothers’ Disney Channel features.

For example, in Camp Rock, Joe’s character Shane is constantly fighting with Mitchie. The drama is problematic, tired, and petty. What exactly do Mitchie and Shane even sing Fire and Rain about? In High School Musical, Gabriella and Troy have much more heavily developed relationship troubles.

Meanwhile, Nick’s role, Nate, sings the best song of the franchise, Introducing Me. To this day, it’s the standout song from the movies. Everyone remembers the lyrics to this tongue twister of a song, but only the choruses of the frankly less memorable numbers between Mitchie and Shane, the supposed lead characters.

On Jonas, Nick was the best as well. Nick always had sweet, innocent crushes, and Joe was constantly dealing with problems with Stella. It seems as though Disney wrote their roles that way since this dynamic was the same in Camp Rock. Still, it just proves that Disney knew that no one would believe that sweet, baby-faced Nick could break a heart.

Just because Nick tended to play innocent characters doesn’t mean he’s not a force to be reckoned with. Nick is the most well-rounded Joe bro. His star quality far outshines his brothers’. It’s obvious that Disney gave him the best roles because of it, too.

Considering both looks and talent, Nick has his brothers beat.
