Default I like Who Says...

So there. Its fun, and its not full of failed attempts at emoting as some other songs can be. OK, so it was about the point in the album where I realised that Bon Jovi have become the Goo Goo Dolls, but I still like it!

I do too. It's fun and upbeat with some very cool, honest and clever lyrics. Saturday Night is one of my favourite songs (mainly due to the lyrics) and I love the heartland-americana accoustic vibe it has and I always said it was a shame they didn't do more songs in that style so obviously I was very chuffed to hear this song. It also works brilliantly in a live enviourment.

Taken on it's own, I think it's an excellent and obvious choice for a single. It's a brilliantly catchy pop-rock song with a country vibe that alot of people will be able to relate too, so how could it not be a big single in the US. I guess there's positives and negatives to it being released. This sort of song will probably be a big hit and could attract another big audience but the problem I have with it being a single is that it follows a slower stlye of song. This is a big aggresive rock record (or pop-rock, whatever you wanna clasify it as) and to release a slower song and then a pop-rock song dosen't really give a true representation of what this album is about. I also can't see it being a hit in Europe, it's just not a hit song for over here. Complicated would be a great choice IMO. It represents pretty much spot on, as a 3rd single, what this album is like. It's got a great hook and sounds like a true modern rock hit.

Great song but time will tell if it's a good idea to release it.

I agree - Who Says is my fav song on the album, with Last Cigarette a close second.

I don't see why it's so hated either. It's not the best song on the album, but it's catchy and good still.

"Welcome to Wherever You Are" is the one that annoys me! It's got such cheesy, sissy lyrics. It's just horrible, and if that is released, it will just be laughed at.
Just to pick out the worst lyrics to me (although the whole song has pretty bad ones)

"Everyone's a miracle in their own way
Just listen to yourself not what other people say"


"Remember everybody's different, just take a look around"

"Be who you want to be, be who you are
Everyone's a hero, everyone's a star"

And THE worst line of all; "Remember that you're perfect, God's make no mistakes"

It's horrible and so... flowery..
And isn't it supposed to be about how people of all different races and cultures should be able to live together in peace and stuff? They should all be accepted for who they are... and then it says God makes no mistakes, when a lot of people won't believe in "God"... I just don't like it.

I also love it. I didn't care much for it at first but now it's probably my favourite off the album (although Last Cigarette is fighting for the title too). Even the "It's all right" that used to do my head in now feel great

Sounds great for live shows too
