Jonas in Indy 2010

New Jonas song “Heart and Soul,” part of upcoming Disney Channel movie “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam,” unfolds as a roadhouse boogie in the tradition of Bob Seger’s “Old Time Rock and Roll.” The song’s lyrics praise the onstage charisma of David Lee Roth and Mick Jagger as being more valuable than a musician’s technical skills.

Within the Jonas Brothers, Nick and Joe might be paralleled to another pair of Beatles-loving siblings: Noel and Liam Gallagher of Oasis. Joe lines up with Liam, the smooth-voiced charmer – although Joe’s honey-based method has little in common with Liam’s vinegar-laced personality. Nick and Noel are idea men, blessed with passable singing voices but nothing to match Joe and Liam.

New duet “I Wouldn’t Change a Thing” conveyed zero chemistry between Lovato and Joe Jonas, who called off their girlfriend-boyfriend status earlier this year. Sunday was the second date of the “Camp Rock 2” tour, which is scheduled to visit dozens of U.S. cities, Canada, Mexico and five South American countries between now and Thanksgiving. Now that’s something to put their acting talents to the test.

“Introducing Me,” another “Camp Rock 2” selection, provided Nick a lively spotlight in which he attempted to play the novelty tune (“I like checks with lots of zeros”) before 2-1/2 minutes passed. He raced through the unplugged tune, perhaps partly to conceal its blatant resemblance to Jason Mraz hit “I’m Yours.”
