Jonas Brothers Manila Concert Pictures 2012: The Unnoticed Kevin

My friends told me Kevin was really the kuya among the three and just like the Hanson brothers, the eldest just happened to be the least popular among the chicks.  But that's just for popularity anyway, and well, we saw last night how solid their relationship is as brothers.  Kevin though, plays a mean guitar, and he ably supported his vocalist brothers in all their songs, singing back-up from time to time.  Really the dutiful kuya!

Sorry I don't have many pictures of him because of the cameraman's fault.  He mostly focused on Nick and Joe most of the night, so here are the lucky moments when I snapped Kevin when he was in the camera focus!

Jonas Brothers Manila Concert Pictures: Joe the Curly-Haired Prince

I think Nick is the strongest vocally among the three brothers, although Joe sometimes comes out as the lead singer.  This was apparent last night since live, Joe's voice would sound faint or would be drowned out by the music.  However, it is when Joe growls when his voice really comes to life!  I guess it's just a matter of how to arrange the music!  Methinks though that he looks cuter in cropped hair - which he sported when he was here a few months ago.


But really, who cares!  They're all cute and goodlooking and play cool music - which they did last night!

Jonas Brothers Manila Concert Pictures 2012: All About Nick!

It was not the Jonas Brothers concert last night, it was more like Nick Jonas and the other Jonas Brothers show! I can safely say na halos 50% ng focus ng camera last night was on this most musically gifted of the three brothers! Not only are his vocal chops the best among the three (sorry Joe), he also plays the most instruments! 

And the cameraman really loved him last night!! And we loved him for focusing on Nick most of the show - the poor guy would just look in surprise whenever the shouts would get so loud kasi nga finofocus ang mukha niya. Can you blame the girls for shouting so loud when Nick has become such a wonderfully hot guy!! While all these shrieking was happening all around us, my beki friend and I were texting each other and we were texting unprintable words here of the things we wanted to do to Nick!!
