Whether we like it or not, a lot of fans love Bon Jovi's ballads.

In fact, I just met a girl today who told me she is a Bon Jovi fan. I asked her how long she'd been a fan and she said since "Bed of Roses" and "Always". Both ballads/love songs.

Time will tell if I'm right or not, but I still think "All About Loving You" will do fairly well and will get played more than either "Everyday" and "Misunderstood".
i'm agree with this fact, ballads are easy for everyone etc ... a good approach for Bon jovi,
but i'm afraid we can't make a comparaison between all about and always, there's not the same intensity in aaly, i can't say i don't love this song, but it's the last i like to hear on this album ...
exactly my thoughts, jess

No, not bothered. I quite like it. And yeah, there's better, but that doesn't make AALY a bad choice. Just as long as there's a fourth, and hopefully a 5th single, and neither of them are Love Me Back To Life, You Had Me From Hello, or Open All Night, then I'll be pretty happy. Actually, I think it could make a pretty interesting single..... especially if its released to radios round about now, what with Valentine's Day, it may actually stand a chance of getting some airplay

Keep On Rockin'

Yes ... I amBut let's see the positive part.There aren't any ballads ledt to make them ballads so the next single will probably be: THE DISTANCE or BOUNCE even if i'd like JOEY too.
What about realesing NEUROTICA...hehehe

It's not a bad song, but I am very disappointed. There are many better songs on Bounce, many of which are much more single worthy.

To be honest, I like all of the songs on the album. I suppose Bounce or Hook Me Up would have been more commercial, sold more, got higher chart positions etc, but maybe there was a good reason for them doing it. Jon doesn't care about chart positions anyway, so maybe the song means something to him, or one of the others.

A lot of people here complained about Misunderstood becoming a single, but I bet that almost every person who didn't like it here went out and bought it anyway.

I'll buy it when it's released, if only for the B-Sides. I like the song, it's just that when I listen to it, I keep hearing the Never Say Goodbye lyrics in my head when it's playing. lol.

I don't think the song will chart well in Australia either - I just hope they beef up the release with lots of new b-sides :P

Unfortunately, I don't think that's entirely true. At an acoustic show here last year Jon was asked about how singles are chosen and he said, "Sometimes you have to make decisions with your head instead of your heart."

Anyway, I wouldn't say I'm "disappointed" about AALY but I do think it's a crappy choice. It's definitely not the kind of song that will attract new fans and based on what radio is playing now, I doubt it will get much airplay. Oh well, at least it's not Open All Night.

This song is one of my favorites. I'm not disappointed, I'm excited!
