Rascal Flatts – “Here”

they were terrible in concert too, the only good thing about it was taylor swift decided not to show up

I do not get band photos! I mean, are they trying to be NWA or friggin’ Pantera in this shot?? Again, Clint Eastwood can shoot those looks, cuz it isnt a “look”, its just the way he is. In the above shot, it seems as though their boxer-briefs are too tight and they are none too happy about it…I mean, did the photographer simply refuse to bob his head? is that what is making them so upset??

I just listened to the RF song, and I thinks it is just as good as the new Taylor Swift song that you gave a “thumbs up” to. Your criteria is confusing to me. There are some groups and artists that you just really don’t like and will never cut them any slack. I feel you are particularly hard on Carrie Underwood, also.

Rascal Flatts Cd this time was really bad i though everyday was good but i hate bob that head and don’t like this song either. I did like Rascal Flatts last cd what hurts the most though

Nicholas: Terrible review of the song IMO – It’s just a song

Aw, c’mon Nicholas … it’s just a review. :-)

“It’s just a song”

I swear, i dont get people that offer up such lame reasoning as a defense for a bad song. Yes, it is just a song, and this review isnt suggesting that it is anything but a song (a bad one at that). He didnt suggest that it was the cure for cancer or the answer to any serious social issues. The review merely said (appropriately so) that the song missed the mark in a few key areas. What is it you expect out of a review? Perhaps he shouldve just drawn a frown face :-( and that wouldve made you happy :-) with how little such a review wouldve offered.

It’s a song, as in the lyrics saying “Been through windows, walls, and doors” isn’t supposed to be irony

It seems to me that RF is just a boy band. Because of that fact I don’t expect them to be good. I don’t expect their songs to be good. I don’t expect their voices to be good. Like all boy bands( N’SYNC, 98 Degrees, NKOB) they are marketed toward the type of audience who is not grown up enough to know a real, mature emotion. Their audience just needs to think of how nice Gary’s voice sounds, or how cute Joe Don’s rear is or how….wait who is the third guy? RF’s music, aside from not being country, is just bad pop with a country twang-Shania Twain times three. Thirty seconds into this song and you wonder why anyone would care. They are cute and they bland-the country charts are overpopulated with that type. Blame the people who produce and buy this crap. They have no taste. If they did RF’s shelf life would have expired by now.

Rascal Flatts is an awesome band.seen them many times in concert and each time they just better.on sat 9-20-2008. we will see them again.this will be our 11 time at their concert.as for thar song Here. i kove it.

Actually, I am a bit intrigued as to how they went through walls. Are they ghosts or did they merely use a sledgeghammer?

I think I dislike this band so much because they were actually decent enough for me to call them a “very very guilty pleasure” on their first two albums, but everything since then has been third rate or banal. I used to tap my foot when they came on, now I change the channel as fast as possible. I can’t even tell this song from their last one (the one before Bob, anyway).

@Aaron: ” they were hitting on the 14 year olds”

What do you mean? They winked at their fans or something… such a tragedy

1- Okay, I get that

2- I only said that because someone implied that 14yr old fans were being flirted w/ by them… I doubt it was that – more like harmless fan love I’d assume

I doubt they flirt with minors

the only girls there were minors…

@Leeann: You think 14yr olds were getting -seriously- flirted with?

I think it was misinterpreted – ie: they smile and hug a fan who said “I love you so much!” then its not flirting – its just nice to the fans

“bob that head” is a total waste of space, be it on the shelf or on any kind of file.

conclusion: “let’s do something like “everywhere” again – just a little different.” rather flat effort, in my ears.

I can’t believe some of you would go as low to say they flirt with minors. What a immature statement. These guys all have beautiful wifes and Joe Don & Gary have kids. They are very kind to their fans but never in a million years, would they think about hitting on minors. These guys just don’t catch a break with you guys. I haven’t seen one positive review about them on your website. There alot of songs out there that are by far worse and you gave them good reviews.. Wake up, Rascal Flatts isn’t going anywhere. They have changed country music for the better with or without your lame reviews.

Oh and also…it’s a pretty dumb statement to say “all the girls there were minors.” Wow.

“Still feels good” is pretty much just “Me and My Gang, Part II” but less exciting.
Bob That Head=Backwards
It’s Not Supposed To Go Like That=Ellsworth
“Secret Smile” is my personal favorite, sounds like something from Melt.

this song is fine in the context of the album. it’s not, however, one that should’ve been chosen as a single. who picks these songs? these guys would have a completely different image now if they had actually released the straight-up COUNTRY songs off the last album, like “backwards” and “ellsworth.” i blame disney.

I find this to be an okay song.
