What else would one expect? I mean, honestly, this song is so bad that there aren't enough derogatory words to describe it accurately. And I'm always amazed how people go "yeah, it sucked at first, but now it has grown on me". Of course it's 'catchy' and 'memorable' if you listen to it a zillion times. But is that the point really? That sounds to me like programming your own minds to like a song just because it's Bon Jovi. Do you do that with any other artist? Listen to one song for 30 times even if your first reaction was to turn off that stereo as soon as possible?

No idea...maybe you do...all I am saying though is that if you take a deep look at it, there is NO WAY POSSIBLE a human being who appreciates the sincerity and musicianship of old-school Bon Jovi will naturally like Because We Can. Because it is not sincere and there is no musicianship in it. It's bad and I am speaking in the most objective way possible. Now given this, the only reason for people to like this song is because of the emotion, the 'fan' connection that they have with Bon Jovi. And maybe that's normal. But hell, as soon as one has to justify how this is Bon Jovi 2013 and Jon is 50 years old, and expectations should be a lot LOWER, and everything else on the radio is even worse, and etc etc and what not...it just proves that even the people who rate the song highly, deep inside, they do know how bad Because We Can really is.

Just a ramble.
