Bo Bice's new album
 

Ladies and Gentlemen, do I have a scoop for you. You know how Richie co-wrote with Bo Bice for his new album.

One of the songs is....

...Nothing. I mean the song "Nothing" that didn't make HAND. I didn't know where to post this, new releases are here. I am seriously in shock.

(and don't forget I'm the one that cracked this wide open ;))

It's official. Nothing will NOT be a b-side

This belongs in both forums. I am in shock. Total shock.

WTF!!! Well, that officially rules all chances of it being a B-Side for future singles. Oh well, I loved Vehicle when it was released awhile back so I'm sure Richie's influence on the new version of Nothing will be good!

That doesn't make it official as such surely? As far as I'm aware BJ could still release their demo version?

You're very easily shocked

Maybe Ryan and I are alone in this one. Would would think if it's now Bo's song, they won't release it themselves much like they did for "Only takes one to say goodbye".

Stut, I'll send you what I have of it, it's pretty much the same damn freaking song.

What? I am thrilled, shocked...OH NO!

How would I live, why would I try? now that Nothing isn't going to be a b-side?
I could learn to live without it but that's a lie...

The Bon Jovi song is Nothing.

The Bo Bice song is Nothing Without You written by Jon, Richie, and John Shanks.

What makes you assume that one word similarity means the same song? Mystery Train and She's a Mystery are not the same songs, but have one key word in common in the titles and were written for the same CD.

**Merged the two threads

where is this song?
 

Where can i find the song nothing?

try with eMule

If Nothing were the same song that Bo Bice will put in his new album, the fact that we will never see Nothing as a B-Side is not true.

The exchange of B-Sides or unreleased songs between artists or groups is very common. I remember an officialy releaseed B-Side song of Michael Jackson that was put in a Nick Carter solo album in 2002, both even released the same year. The song was written by Jackson, but Carter and even now the Backstreet Boys sang it on concerts on their current tour.

What song is it?

Becky, this isn't me shooting off my mouth assuming things. This was me after hearing 2 minute of Bo's song. I ain't no fool ;)

I shouldn't have said they won't release it. Other artists too, yah, but to me, I don't think Bon Jovi would. Maybe I'll be wrong.

This is a clip of Nothing Without You by Bo Bice. Check yourself

While I'm sure your post will get deleted, this is the EXACT clip I have. It's from promosquad.com. It's a service that lets you vote for upcoming songs and whatever. I read some article about Jon and richie writing that song on Bo's album, I went to look up the lyrics and stumbled upon the clip.

Honestly, people. I wasn't THAT shocked. If you don't care, to be frank, get the hell out of the thread. If it doesn't interest you, have a nice day, ya know?

Yup, same song with a slight lyric change

I bet people will love it, and it'll go number 1 or something

On the few Bo fan boards I visited, people haven't been digging it much. Saying that it sounds like an 80's hair ballad or something but that's only cuz of the association with the Jovi boys, I assume.

EDIT: "Nothing Without You sounds like it was written by Desmond Child. It just has that familiar ring to it" Is something I read on a fan board. Funny stuff.

And this slight lyric change will probably result in Mr Bice getting his name as the first songwriter in the booklet. Hehe. Sounds definitely pop, but what's shocking is that the guitar work in the chorus actually shows more details than the standard BJ song in 2005 does.

And by the way, could anyone point me out where to get the full version of BJ's Nothing? It'd be very appreciated.

I'm not shocked as I really don't mind whether the song is going to be a b-side or not. I just think Nothing is a wonderful song, it's such a waste they "sold" it to someone else :(

Damn right. Sounds much better with Jon singing it, and the end of the chorus is way more effective just as "all that's ever left is nothing."

But then maybe we're a little biased :D

Bo's a very lucky guy.........................

well i was a big american idol fan and i liked bo alot he sounds good on this song but i wish that bj had kept it and put it on their album it is wierd to hear another artist do one of their songs.. still maybe it will be a big hit for bo .. who knows... thanks for the link definitely was interesting to hear it

I sounds exactly the same as Jovi's version... but with some rubbish vocals.

Nah...only Jon Bon Jovi does that

Actually, that's pretty "standard" in the business.

Skid Row, Guns N' Roses, AC/ DC, Metallica...they never did that. Whoever is the main writer gets th first credit.

And songs like Livn On A Prayer...maybe Jon and Richie have some input but it's clear that Desmond wrote it and sold it to them.

And Van Halen, Poison, Madonna, Spice Girls, etc. Def Leppard used to put all the writers in alphabetical order. It's not only Jon that puts his name first.

Ice

How do you know this? I have never heard anything like this before...

Well, it's definitely possible, seeing that Desmond also had written the chorus melody for Bad Name before they even met. Also compare the intro-riff from Rosie and "Hide Your Heart" by Kiss...

AC/DC I agree on, but GnR had co-writers, and still the band got the main writing credit. Not to mention Metallica having their producer co-writing the whole St Anger record, always only getting his name in as number 4. Also, how do you know who really had the most input? It's often been stated that Malcom Young wrote the Back In Black riff, and also all the lyrics since Razor's Edge, yet the writing order is always "Angus/Malcolm". Also see the Rolling Stones - Angie was written by Richards to large degrees, and Brown Sugar was written by Jagger ALONE, yet they all got "Jagger / Richards".

Bon Jovi's version is better.

and I'm not biased.

=\ Bon Jovi's version was just so much better!! I really liked Bo when he was on Idol, but...it sounds so bad with his vocals. And yeah, the version is exactly the same as the BJ one. It'd better not be a single, it would kill my ears if i heard it on the radio!

Bo should open for Bon Jovi on tour...it would get him some good popularity, and Richie could play on guitar, and they could sing "Nothing" or "Nothing without You" ;)

While that would be neat, they'd only do that to capitalize on the fact that they both did the song "Nothing". And we're not even supposed to have the bands version of it, heh.

Some information...

Notice the lack of writing credit for Bo Bice. I wonder who wrote the new lyrics then.

Richie & John Shanks wrote this one

Also, song titles like "It's My Life", "The Real Thing" and "Lie... It's Alright" sound somewhat familiar ;)

There are no real "new" lyrics. Just minor minor changes. But I digress. Hmm...none of those song titles sound familiar. Just It's my life, obviously.

The Song Nothing is awesome!!!
 

I have heard a snippet of the song nothing by Bon Jovi, does anyone have a link so I can download the song. I don't want to go through all the stuuff to pay for a song wither. i am a huge Bon Jovi fan. They rocked the house in Chicago. Will see them next year
