The thing about this record, to me, is this: if you’re going to cover a Beatles song, you are taking an ungodly risk. SThere are those who have managed to pull it off–for example Anne Murray’s memorable R&B-style version of “You Won’t See Me”, which was a big hit in 1974 and which got John Lennon’s personal seal of approval–but Rascal Flatts is not among that chosen few by a longshot.

I do not like the way RFs sang the song! I am not a fan of RFs either. They sound alright as long as their on a CD but , live…….not good! Gary LeVoux voice is way too nasally for me.

How could you put an f for this song, it’s catchy and I think they do a good job of remaking it.

I can tolerate it in the sense that it’s apparently in conjunction with a movie soundtrack. But only because of that. And I’m not a Rascal Flatts fan nor hater.

Paul,
I stand by my original response to your comment. I’m well aware of the situation at the time – quite frankly, you should no longer be arrogant enough to underestimate my knowledge of music history. I just don’t think “sanitizing” R&B & country records for an audience supposedly not “ready” for them is performing some noble service. I think it’s exploiting the talents of others to make a quick buck. It is actually possible to have all of the same information and come to a different conclusion than you.

It’d be hard to look in the mirror if I sang like Gary LeVox. My voice would be cracking it.

I don’t dislike the song only because I think it’s a cheap way to get people to listen. I also think it’s just a terrible remake of a great song. Unless you can add something new and interesting to a song or produce an entirely new take, I don’t see the point.

Oh, it’s a solid single. Their last iTunes exclusive sold 1,000,000 units. That’s big money.
