Oh my goodness, I just saw his video for his solo song and it looks silly....did anyone get the same impression??? Where is the rock at? Why is he going pop all of a sudden?? And where is Matchbox 20??? I love those guys. Has Rob gone completely mad???

P.S. I tried to use the search feature to see if anyone has discussed this before, but it is down for maintenance, so if this has been discussed before...please find it in your ever loving hearts to forgive me...

I got a crush on Handclapsfingasnapz.

I wasn't aware he or Matchbox 20 ever had "the rock". All they've ever done is middle-of-the-road pop rock.

wendy is supposed to be on his new album... go wendy!

missfee said:

I actually started a thread on this about 2 weeks ago. The weird thing about the song is that he kind of sounds like Enrique?! Did you notice that? I swear it sounds like something he would sing.


I also have to agree that I never considred Matchbox 20 a rock band. They're as soft as it gets. why even bother?

dancerella said:

I can see that. It sounds like a Mark Anthony reject.

GangstaFam said:

big time, Like they offered it to Marc and Enrique and they were hell no! Rob said "Shit i'll take it, I need a hit bad"

dancerella said:

Definitely.

He said in an interview (I think on cnn.com) that he was going after a more dance-oriented sound for his solo stuff, and reserve the more rock type stuff for future Matchbox 20 projects...

So Wendy working with another winning artist.(LOL)

i dunno, but he got sort of hot somewhere along the way.....

sosgemini said:

Yeah, you could put the whole Revolution (including Prince) on there and I still wouldn't buy it. I never got Matchbox 20...never!

GangstaFam said:

And let's face it...He shouldn't reject anythign that resembles a hit single, considering he had a decent career but is now going to be Mr. J. Lo.

sosgemini said:

oh yeah, go wendy, woo hoo!

Was there EVER any rock anywhere near the vicinity of Rob Thomas?

who doesn't?

minneapolisgenius said:

a lot of people has said this, but i never thought of matchbox 20 as a pop singing boy bad group, I thought it was more like soft rock or something, but hey thats just me...

the rob thomas single has to be on the short list for worst song of 2005. He is apparently trying to become this pop superstar, ala Gwen Stefani. It's beyond hideous.

i haven't even heard this song yet

hey lady....whats shit to you is skat to others...

if you can sit through an entire Rob Thomas album just to hear a few snippets of Wendy doing god-knows-what, then more power to you. but i can't think of a much bigger waste of time or money for such little pay-off
