The iconic\u00a0<em>SNL\u00a0<\/em>stage wasn&#8217;t even recognizable as he opened the performance standing under a blue night in the effect of a rocket ship. The lasers elevated the performance behind him, moving along to the electro R&amp;B beat as he showed off incredible vocals. Singing along to a guitar, Nick sounded amazing with little support from his back-up singers. A moon decal could also be seen at Nick&#8217;s feet, fitting with the outer space them of the tune.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">SPACEMAN LIVE THANK YOU NICK JONAS <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7NDioPkLcs\"  rel=\"nofollow\"  target=\"_blank\"  >pic.twitter.com\/7NDioPkLcs<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-3\">&mdash; CLARA !
