The Jonas Comeback

The Jonas Comeback

Jonas was the name on every kid's lips from 2005-2009 when the band had hit its peak of popularity. Comprised of three talented brothers from New Jersey, with hits like “Year 3000," “Burnin' Up," and “SOS,” the Jonas Brothers tore up the entertainment industry by being featured in numerous movies, their own TV show, and countless songs. After the band split up, it was like a part of our childhood had died, but when Joe Jonas introduced to the world his new band DNCE, there was hope everywhere that Jonas would rise to popularity once more. Once “Cake by the Ocean” reached number one in multiple countries around the world, it was established that DNCE was not only here to stay, but was going to pave the way for Joe Jonas’ comeback.

In October of 2015, DNCE released their first EP titled “SWAAY” which featured “Cake by the Ocean” as the lead single of the EP. That record itself reached a peak of number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. Following “Cake by the Ocean," “Toothbrush” was released to the public and displayed on YouTube on May 19. Within a couple of days, that track has reached a little more than three million views and people are loving the music video. And that’s because not only is it a catchy song, but it features model Ashley Graham. Who’s Ashley Graham, you ask? She’s appeared in numerous covers and campaigns for Calvin Klein, Elle, Glamour, and Sports Illustrated to name a few but what makes her stand out are her curves. She’s not the stereotypical model that you find while flipping through magazines but by embracing her curves and becoming a body activist, Ashley Graham has taken the model world by storm. So when Joe Jonas decided to feature her as his love interest in “Toothbrush” the internet went crazy, as this was one of the few examples where a curvy model was being featured. Fans said it was definitely a wonderful step in the right direction for body positivity and that by Ashley Graham being a role model for curvy girls around the world, fans fell even more in love with DNCE and Joe Jonas than they already were.


As a fan of the Jonas Brothers since they became a band, I’m proud to know that they are still making an impact even after disassembling in 2013. It can be difficult for any band to have any sort of a comeback, let alone for the members to succeed individually with people thinking that they aren’t as good individually as they were as a band. But with Nick Jonas’ more than successful solo career and DNCE killing it as a band, it just proves that the Jonas Brothers weren’t just a trend of a couple years. Considering how catchy “Cake by the Ocean” and “Toothbrush” are, I, along with fans everywhere, eagerly await new music from DNCE as their full length album is sure to reach popularity with those two singles being an indication of just how impressive DNCE can be.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
