i know i gave UMMB higher ranking than the other song - and I went on some Bo fan boards and everyone is pulling for UMMB - by ranking UMMB much higher - so lets keep our fingers crossed

I voted UMMB higher and I think a lot of people are pulling for that one

Dr Luke, I thought UMMB was decided? Help! :o
Please not Nothing Without You ... it's one of the few songs on the CD that I skip. When was the last time Bon Jovi had a pop hit?
Oh no! <sinks into depression>

I rated UMMB higher than NWY (because I have ears).
I didn't think NWY would even be released as a single. The CD I bought had a sticker on it that said something along the lines of "Contains the future hits TRT, YE, and UMMB"

I love UMMB and I rated it higher on RTM. I can't imagine them releasing NWY. I saw Bo a couple of weeks ago in concert and he was fantastic. Loved UMMB live. He did an awesome job with the song. Can't wait to see it released.

Thanks for all the help!!! I honestly think it's better for Bo (no pun intended).... Bo is a great guy and was great to work with. I wish him much success.

Joe Bermudez did a dance remix of this. Should be interesting to hear.
While I definitely think U Make Me Better would be a far more successful follow up than Nothing Without You, i'm sort of leery of fanbases taking part in these votes. not to make too many comparisons, but the Clay Aiken fans thought they knew what song would work better following "Invisible" and voted for it on the we testing services. We were wrong. let the "normal" listeners make the call - just warning you from another base to another cuz I don't want to see it happen; the momentum dropping dead. in that case, even if they put out U Make Me Better afterwards, they wouldn't be receptive after the flop. honestly, I can't see them picking the other song, but if those people somehow do, then there must be something about it that will do well for some reason. it would suck bad if the whole project was dropped after a bad single choice.
although, since i'm not a huge Bo fan, maybe I should go vote :)

They took the RTM survey down early. Maybe the results were overwhelming or maybe (as I suspect) they were just playing with us. Unless Clive Davis has suddenly gone senile, there's no way he needs a focus group to tell him that UMMB makes a better single than NWY.

Having lurked here for ages, I finally registered so that I could post my experience with UMMB last week. I saw Bo live at the Have a Nice Day Cafe in Richmond, VA. It's a small club, mostly a college hangout. When Bo started, there weren't a lot of college types in the crowd yet, but the number grew as the show went on. For the most part, the college students weren't their for Bo, but for the Hard Body Finals that came after. They weren't really paying much attention -- until UMMB. When Bo started that, they all stopped their conversations and turned around to listen intently. I hope UMMB is the next single. It could be a huge hit since it would make folks stop surfing the channels and listen.

When I first heard the CD straight through, I had no clue what was meant to be a single and what wasn't. UMMB stood out as my favorite immediately. Its a special track that could really put Bo on the map. And by map, I don't mean top 20 pop. I mean solidify him as a serious popular artist. I hope they release it soon!

Bo hasn't been doing Nothing Without You live, has he? It would be weird for them to pick a song as a single that he hasn't done at any of his 10,000 radio-station sponsored appearances.

Just read on a Bo fan site that he sang Nothing Without You at the Craig Ferguson show taping earlier today along with TRT.
What a mistake if this is the next single.

Not a big fan of Bo, (I like him during AI though) but I heard the two possible singles that had been discussed here, 'U Make Me Better' is definately better! It sounds Goo Goo Doll-ish and I like it alot. Hopefully that's the single!

Eventhough it did not air on Late Night with Craig Ferguson, I am also worried that Nothing Without You was performed for the audience.
I am sure it sounded great - as I would guess Bo and his band can make any song done live - sound awesome.
I just don't think the CD/radio version of NWY comes across too well. I just don't feel it is the type of song that will be remembered after radio airplay is over.

I don't think NWY is awful - well, actually I kind of do, but I think it'll get decent airplay. But to me, it's like taking a step back from TRT instead of building on the success with an even better song.
i'm confused ???

I am concerned that RCA is considering Nothing Without You as the next single. To me there is a reason when a song did not make another artist's album.
RCA is behind Bo, but I am questioning some of the decisions that have been made or might be made.

Me too! It's obvious they're supporting him, but NWY is one of the least suitable songs for a single IMO. I'd prefer UMMB, but also MY World, YE and Lie It's Alright would alll make better singles than this.
Color me also confused ???

Nothing Without You was considered for Bon Jovi's current album - Have a Nice Day - but Nothing Without You did not make the cut.

It debuted at #35 on Rick Dees this week. I also moved up 5 spots to #22 on American Top 40. I wonder if it'll get higher than that, it lost its bullet on mediabase.

Nothing yet. But Bo's scheduled to appear on the Idol finale next Wednesday, so I am hoping he'll debut his new single then. (No inside information - just my hope.)

I have been told that the next single is UMMB and that it will come out on June 26th. I'm 95% sure this is true. This is from RCA.

Thanks for the good news doctorluke. Having seen Bo do this live, he seems to love the song and usually dedicates it to the audience. It really fits him. Even in the AOL sessions when he had bad hayfever, he did an awesome job with this song. It is easily one of my top choices from the cd for a single and I'm really looking forward to its debut and video. Congrats doctorluke on a great song and UdefinitelyMMB with this news.
