I’ve watched this clip of Nick Jonas’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel twice now, and I still haven’t figured out if Nick Jonas was being disrespectful to Bob Dylan. Jonas was being asked about his part in the new “We Are the World” recording, and he says that the producers asked Lil Wayne to sing the part originally done by Bob Dylan. Jonas quotes Lil Wayne as saying “I can’t sing.” To which Nick Jonas replied, “And I’m like, ‘exactly. Perfect.'” Kimmel underlines the point saying “Nick Jonas says Bob Dylan can’t sing.”
But is that really what Nick was saying or what he meant? If it is, then I can only offer a “Bitch, please” to Nick. Bob Dylan might not have a conventionally “good” singing voice, but his voice has more heart, intelligence and soul than a pipsqueak like Nick Jonas can even imagine in his wildest dreams. But I’m still not sure that Nick was intending to say “Bob Dylan is a horrible singer.” I think he was trying to say “that part in the song could easily go to someone who doesn’t have a conventionally ‘good’ voice.” Why am I defending Nick Jonas? I have no idea.
