Nick Jonas can really sing!

Tween pop superstars the Jonas Brothers have ridden a wave of popularity from their sugary pop rock, concert tours and Disney TV show. And youngest brother Nick Jonas has broken out as the most popular and talented of the three Brothers Jonai. However, just how talented is he? Yes, he writes, sings and plays guitar on their hits and he um “acts” on their show and in the Camp Rock movies, but his singing has always been kinda affected, screechy and a little whiny. Well, apparently it was the material because when he performed recently in the London 25th Anniversary edition of the acclaimed Tony winning musical Les Miserables, he really showed his skills. Check out his fantastic performance and his very good voice in a clip from the musical below. Then take a look at their hit “Paranoid” and see how pop music has been stifling his gift… Perhaps Nick will take a trip to the Broadway next?

Eminem trounces the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato to hit the top again!

Eminem returns to the top of the Billboard Top 200 albums chart again this week as his Recovery notches a 6th non consecutive week at the summit. With another big sales week, he passes the 2 million mark and will soon be taking on Lady Antebellum’s Need You Now for the top-selling album of 2010. He also has the longest running number 1 of the year so far and holds off four new debuts. The highest ranking new record is the Camp Rock 2 soundtrack featuring the stars of the TV movie Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers at # 3. Also debuting this week is newcomer Mike Posner (who has a hit single in “Cooler than Me”), some band I’ve never heard of called Black Label Society and country crooner Blake Shelton. For the full top ten, scroll down and get all your chart info from Billboard here.

Eminem also returns to the top of the Hot Digital Songs chart (and likely continues his reign on the Hot 100 tomorrow) with his smash “Love the Way You Lie” featuring Rihanna. I’m finally on the bandwagon and kinda love the song. However, it’s so reminiscent of the recent top 10 hit “Airplanes” by B.o.B. featuring Hayely Williams. Don’t believe me? Check them out below and compare…. Interesante…
