Did you write and/or produce this, thedoctorluke? Or is this the Kara DioGuardi/Marti Frederiksen song?

Interesting choice. I was rooting for "Lie Its All Right."

I haven't heard the other songs, but this one doesn't seem to fit Bo's rockin' persona. The verses sound interesting but the chorus is pure pop. Was this a Backstreet Boys song?

I wrote "U Make Me Better" and "Lie... It's Alright" with Max Martin. Lemme know what you think when you hear them.  |

I've heard a clip of "Lie It's Alright" and as I said above I was rooting for it as the single because everything else I've heard does not sound like the Bo that was on AI. In my opinion "The Real Thing" is a horrible first single. |

It is a horrible first single, it sounds nothing like Bo, don't see it doing that well.

Based on the first 3 songs tested at Promosquad ("Remember Me," "Nothing Without You" and this), I figured they were going to go with this one -- it's the title track and has the catchiest chorus of those 3. But it's not what I would have chosen among the 7 songs they've tested so far.
It's more pop and less confident and grown-up than I would have expected from Bo. It sounds like a pretty generic midtempo pop-rock track. It's not bad, but it doesn't make the statement that I think a lead single needs to make. I imagine RMG will support it, so it'll probably go top-20 on CHR/Pop.

I like this song, but it firmly establishes him as a pop artist in today's market. Maybe in 1985 but not now.
His voice sounds like Rick Springfield ("Jessie's Girl") on this song

What the heck did they do to Bo! Is this really the material Bo's been saddled with. I find it interesting that Carrie was the first Idol artist that Clive didn't have a personal hand in and her record turned out very well (well except the Dianne Warren songs which I have a feeling were pushed on there by Clive). Now Clive was all over Bo's record and the best they could come up with for a first single is this dreck. Clive is a curse to these Idol records. I hope Bo does well enough so that he can make a proper 2nd record that doesn't have this fodder on there.

Wasn't Clive all over Fantasia's record? I have never listened to it, but it's gotten a good critical response I thought.

This song's okay...enough to make my own chart but I don't anticipate it will exactly fly up my personal chart.
However, this doesn't sound much like Bo. I'm not talking about the style but the voice. The vocals seem to lack Bo's usual edge and southern rock feel...which is a shame.

2nd most adds this week with 25. Good for him, that's more than I ever expected.

This song didn't fare well on my local station tonight. Only managed to get 19% of the vote against James Blunt's "Goodbye My Lover"

Surprisingly I like this song alot. It's a great pop song, but I don't know if it's gonna fare beyond top 40 on CHR/Pop. I think it'd be good for Hot AC.

Great hook on this one that's for sure. Not sure if I would call it a hit, but not bad. My favorite track on his album is "Lie...It's All Right." Reminds me of the solo rock cuts on Nick Carter's solo album that I loved.

Does anyone by chance have total sales to date of Bo Bice's IYH/Vehicle single (and maybe Carrie's total sales too just for comparison)? Thank you so very much!

I like it. Coulda been worse right? Personally, I think season 4's Final Two had very good first singles. Carrie has 'Jesus' and 'Some Hearts' which I like and Bo has this one. Good for them. Let's just hope the Record companies don't do a Diana DeGarmo on them.

I see this maybe going lower top 40's on pop but nothing beyond that without picking up a few more stations.

he's climbing the radio charts (media base), he's currently #55 with 432 spins, and i think with 40 stations playing him, and still going up, he is doing pretty good on radio so far!.. this week 7 stations added the song, he's #2 on the taking off chart!
pretty good Bo!
