What did a label head once warn Joe Jonas about his Beyoncé spoof? Musician jokes about the unprepared parody that still won fans

Joe Jonas had an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly, where he revealed a good “I told you moment.” In a video shared on the news outlet’s YouTube channel on November 21, Joe and his brothers played a truth game.

During the course of the game, Joe Jonas confirmed that their 2009 hilarious Beyoncé spoof video was described as the worst idea by their management. He shared that their label advised them not to post it cause it would ruin their career.

Joe Jonas said:

“I was told by a label head that this would be the worst idea, and it would ruin our career.”

He added cheekily:

“Check the numbers on that video, sir.”

“It was something that we kind of just did for fun. We were just being ridiculous, and the fans seemed to really enjoy it and thought it was silly.”

He continued:

“It was the first time I ever saw the video," he says. "So I watched the video, and then tried to mimic the icon Beyoncé's dancing, and I obviously could not keep up. I think it's probably a zero, on a zero out of 10 scale, but luckily I think it's all in fun.”

Joe Jonas was referring to a video made after he lost a bet to his brothers and had to dance to Beyoncé’s iconic Single Ladies, complete with the black skin-tight suit and all. The video was later fully released to promote their Lines, Vines, and Trying Times album.

As of now, the video has garnered 33 million views and over 309,000 likes.
