Lowest: 1x2.5 (@DJHazey) 2x4s (@phily693 @iheartpoptarts)
My Score: 10
Favorite Lyric: I know I could’ve saved our love that night if I’d known what to say. Instead of making love we both made our separate ways. And now I hear you found somebody knew and that I never meant that much to you. And to hear that tears me up inside and to see you cuts me like a knife. (I’ve always loved this part for the lyrics, but I love it just as much for the melody and her vocal performance and the way it builds and she gets stronger.)

Every Rose Has Its Thorn is a cover of the classic song by Poison, written by Bret Michaels, Rikki Rockett, Bobby Dall and C.C. Deville. Miley decided to cover it because Bret Michaels/Poison was her first concert, and it’s one of her favorite songs, and after she heard a bunch of people around her singing along to it, she wanted to put it on the album. She also felt like he music industry really shelters kids and they aren’t exposed to songs as honest and real as this, so she wanted to introduce the song to her fans. Bret actually helped her with the song, and let her put her own spin on it (MTV). Production for Miley’s cover was done by Rock Mafia. This is only the second song from Can’t Be Tamed to be eliminated after Forgiveness & Love, way back at #83, over 30 eliminations ago. I mentioned it wouldn’t be until top 50 that we lost another song at the time, but that was because the accidental extra set of scores I had landed this exactly at 50. So, if you’re happy about it landing a place below, congrats to you I guess. Anyway, as some of you may now, I have two parents who are big fans of 70s and 80s rock, particularly the band KISS, leading them to become one of my faves. Poison was another favorite of theirs, though not as huge. So I grew up knowing this song. I always liked it. Thought it was good, but didn’t care much, partly cause I just wasn’t much of a ballad person unless it was an artist I loved. So, when I found out Miley had done a cover of it, I was like “Cool” and would always argue to my parents that Miley’s was the better version – even before I had heard the song ddddd. That just shows you how much of a stan I was – and still am to be honest. After I heard it, I found I was correct – Miley’s is better. But it wasn’t until semi-recently that I found out why – her voice. I just very much prefer Miley’s voice to Bret’s, for obvious reasons I think. It’s just beautiful, and always has been, and it pains me to think that people didn’t always know that. My favorite vocal moments from her on this are heard on the bridge, in the part I highlighted in the “Favorite Lyric” section. Other than that, I love that Miley wasn’t afraid to change it up a little, and make it fit into the soundscape of Can’t Be Tamed, giving it an electronic-rock sound, but keeping it a power ballad. It’s always been a highlight of the album for me, for the production – I mean a guitar solo and electronic, synthy, fake handclaps? I would obviously stan this – but for her passion in her vocals as well. She really makes you feel it, and she’s always had that effect on me. I wish this had made it into the top 50, but I never expected it to do well here. I guess I should just be happy it wasn’t worse dddd. The song was of course included in the Gypsy Heart Tour setlist in support of the album, as well as her concert at the House Of Blues. Unsurprisingly I think, critics had quite a bit to say. AllMusic says “she sounds more natural and grown-up on the songs that straddle rock and country, including the revved-up cover of Poison’s Every Rose Has Its Thorn”. Billboard said Miley seemed to be checked-out of her vocal performances (BULLSHIT!), with the lone exception being this “campy robo-country cover”. Worms for brains to be honest. Boston.com called it “banal” and EW called it “pale” and “pasteurized”. The Guardian said the cover is “regrettably” the song with the most memorable melody (Blasphemy) and PopMatters called it a “vapid retread” (vapid how?) and pretty much dragged it to filth. So they were mixed to say the least.

Lots of commentary for this, thankfully, so let me get the Negative Nellys out of the way. Lowest scorer @DJHazey (2.5) provides some…interesting information: The title of the song itself is applicable to this very album, because this rose of an album has a thorn like this. I used to watch Bret Michaels's TV show Rock of Love back in my college years and it seemed like this song was featured like 15 times per season. You'd think he had gotten sick of playing it, but he's so known for it (and nothing else ddd) that of course he's gonna give people what they want. The point is I've heard this a million times more than I ever needed to and any version will suffer because of it. I gave a 1 last time, but I'll be more kind this time around. Okay. Um, a few things: 1.) You’re being a little extra.gif 2.) Why’d you watch the show? And 3.) How old are you? Anyway, we also have @iheartpoptarts (4) who straight up lies: This is ridiculously out of place on an album full of electropop bops. Girl. It’s not like it’s the only ballad on there, and it actually fits really well musically. @M24 (6) found yawning: It bored me to death back when I first listened to the album, and it still bores me now. Sorry. I mean, at least you gave it some points. Some people will just give a 0 to a song that bores them. Moving on to the people who like it, @Entropy (8) reveals his name and age: 17 year old Sam thought he was so deep listening to this song. Listening to it now, it is very cheesy but it’s one of my favourites on the album. I always laugh internally when she says “yeah it does” after the first chorus. Nice to meet you Sam! Why do you laugh internally? I love that moment in the song. @pop3blow2 (8.5) agrees with me: This actually might be better than the original… which was never a song much cared for to be honest. She at least makes me want to listen to it all the way through which is no small task. You have taste, as usual. And finally, poor @savilizabeths (9), this is one of the few songs she loves on the album: I only docked a point because I’d rather be listening to the original. HOWEVER, this is absolutely gorgeous. Her version is definitely a great moment in her discography. She does pretty well with covers, doesn’t she? Why would you wanna listen to the original though? Nostalgia? And yes, yes she does.

Be deep for a little bit:

Live on the Gypsy Heart Tour:

Live with Bret Michaels:

We're really crunching down now. Almost every song left is going to hurt me personally in some way. In the past 10, we saw every section lose a song, except Hannah Montana 3 which lost 2, and the extras which lost none. And poor Hannah in general, with each soundtrack having less then half left except the debut - and a couple barely hanging in, and looking at the Hannah songs left, I would like us to leave them alone for a little bit please and thank you. Can't Be Tamed is thankfully still dominating with 10 songs left in over 50 eliminations. Whew, we love a classic. That said, her first two albums are still holding strong with 7 and 8 respectively, showing just how solid this era was for her in my opinion, including having 4 left from The Time Of Our Lives still. So, what are your predictions/requests/etc. for what'll leave before the top 40? Discuss people!
Also, I'm ecstatic to say I'll be getting WiFi tomorrow so I'll be able to use my laptop to post eliminations at home! Woohoo!

Girl, I'm literally going to fight you. I only really agree with the first two songs here, despite both being 10s.
Also, finally some activity in here.
