Lonely No More by Rob Thomas

[Layton]

This has got to be a candidate for worst song of the year. Longing to start a new relationship has never sounded blander and that's saying something. The only things redeeming here are the fun little sound effects running throughout the song, but somehow they only end up confusing me. Why are there all these fun and happy sound effects in a song about trying to get over your lonliness? Am I missing something?

Rating: 2/10

 

[U2IrishOne]

absolutely horrible. I cringe just thinking about it.

 

[GibsonGirl]

But Rob Thomas is shit anyway.

 

[IWasBored]

^yes.



and don't you mean -2/10? giving it a 2 is too good for that song.

 

[one4u2]

I like him

my only real feelings on Rob Thomas/Matchbox 20 are that hearing Unwell gives me the mild desire to slaughter everyone in sight.

 

[XHendrix24]

Matchbox 20 have made some pretty good songs. Not especially lately, but they've made some nonetheless.

Rob Thomas, on the other hand, is complete crap. I thought the single must've been a joke or something the first time I heard it. It's like Matchbox 20 mixed with Enrique Eglasius (spelling?) mixed with Justin Timberlake.

Interesting, I never found it to be violent in nature

 

[Zoomerang96]

what do you expect? matchbox twenty were pioneers in bland corporate safe "rock".

they suck, and always will. rob thomas is a loser. someone should kick him in the ass, and tell him to get a real 7ob.

 

[Flying FuManchu]

Matchbox 20 makes catchy radio rock/ adult contempory rock. Not a fan though but respect there "skills" to create hits.

He's doing a lot better then you ever will I'm sure

Orson Welles was brilliant and spent most of his life broke.

Money certainly isn't an indicator of talent.

Melon

 

[Zoomerang96]

indeed, melon.

and by some people's fool-proof logic, brittany spears is doing better than me too. but you know what? i wouldn't agree with it.

i'm happy with who i am, where i am, and where i think i'm going.

if people don't have the capacity to distinguish art from money-making artificial machines, perhaps they should give up on music.

 

[Zoomerang96]

and for the record, if money is so important to you honey, i can pretty much promise that my family has 10 times the wealth that rob thomas does.

now where's my recording contract?

...oh right...my face breaks glass.

nothing surgery can't fix!

Rob Thomas has money and is TALENTED! You can't beat that!

 

[Basstrap]

he vastly UNtalented

Don't you dare call me honey! And what I meant was with your constant, nasty attitude, he'll get further then you will in life

 

[MsMofoGone]

Rob Thomas ... alone ??
He was much better with Matchbox Twenty ...

Define "further in life" please. Success is subjective, perhaps not everyone needs a record contract and yes-men to have fufillment.

Back on topic...what was the topic again? Oh Yeah MatchThomas20...haven't really heard it/them/him/whatever so I don't really have an opinion.

 

[Lancemc]

Rob Thomas certainly has talent.



Talent in finding the dumbest fucking lyrics and vocals he can pry out of his empty skull and somehow selling the songs in the millions.

Although taste in music is subjective... there is truth in what you say. Rob Thomas has succeeded where many (and probably even more talented singer/ musicians/ songwriters) have failed.

 

[Basstrap]

how??

for the love of GOd, tell me how he has succeeded?

do it!

He wrote a song/ got to work with Carlos Santana (guitar legend) with it becoming a number one hit. It is probably immortalized in pop culture to boot. Hell, at least it gets a mention in those nifty VH1 specials. He is rich enough to live extravagantly and has a model for a wife. He's famous enough to probably draw a crowd and not far gone enough to have to perform/ appear in those VH1 (mocumentary) Where Are They Now/ performance shows. He's written/ co-written several hits singles that still get airplay on the radio. Even though the elitist establishment magazines such as Rolling Stone, EW, etc hate him they still interview him or make articles about him and his band b/c HE IS SUCCESSFUL.

IF that isn't successful, by anyone's standards then those people need to go to bizarro world and live there or live on a communee out in the Himalayas b/c this world ain't your cup of tea.
