hi,

i actually love this song for what it is...a catchy, easy-listening pop/rock song which the average radio listener will enjoy. Only fans of Bon Jovi would appreciate Hook Me Up, etc if released as a single.

Also, think about it, if not Misunderstood, then All About Lovin' You would've been chosen, and tho' this is a nice wee ballad, it's not a touch on Always or Bed of Roses or I Want You, and the media critics and every other non-diehard-fan would think the same. They'd all say "bon jovi just can't produce classics anymore...blah...blah..blah".

I know we don't care about these critics, but fact is ppl who think bon jovi are just "ok" will, and so misunderstood is better cos it won't get tiresome...All About Lovin' You starts to annoy me if i hear it too much!

Why ppl don't really like Misunderstood is beyond me, i love it's catchiness and the guitar is cool. Also, you can strum along to it and sound good - Hook Me Up you just can't sit with an acoustic guitar and play along!

just my thoughts.
