    Great singers and great performers. hide show

    Rascal Flatts: Gary LeVox, Joe Don Rooney, and Jay DeMarcus, are 3 of the most talented singers I have seen grace country music in a long time, they have had hit after hit, and my current favorite Flatts song is Life is a Highway from the movie cars, the video takes a look at movies from the drive-in point of view.

    I've been a fan of the group ever since I heard "This Everyday Love", and they get better and better with each song and album, they truly deserve all of the success they have and will have in the future.

    Rascal Flatts Gets Hosed Every Year at Award Shows hide show

    How were Rascal Flatts not nominated for best country album at the 07 Grammys? They had the 2nd highest selling CD of the year and somehow, they keep getting ripped off by these rediculous excuses for country music. I have news for these people in Hollywood who keep putting the Dixie Chicks up for awards: no one likes the Dixie Chicks. Rascal Flatts lost to Tim McGraw for country album of the year at the AMAs and wasn't even nominated at the Grammys. At the CMAs, they keep getting screwed when they're up for Entertainer of the Year. They are far better entertainers than Kenny Chesney and everyone knows it. They just aren't considered quite country enough and everyone in Nashville is jealous of that. Also at the CMAs, they weren't even up for single of the year for "What Hurts the Most." How can the most played song on all of the radio not even be up for that award? The Country Music Association ought to be ashamed of themselves. The Billboard Awards: The biggest gip of them all. Rascal Flatts is better than Chris Brown or whatever rediculous crap beat them for best artist. They also didn't win one award for anything in country. If you want to hear about being totally ripped off, talk to the rascals of Rascal Flatts. I find these award shows like I'm rooting for a sports team and Rascal Flatts is my favorite team. If Rascal Flatts doesn't get the regonition that they deserve, I find it unfair. You may say things like Rascal Flatts isn't country enough and I don't like anything that pop, but you know you love everything they have and they have more talent then any other band that's ever played country music. If you don't agree, than go listen to your twing-twang crap that plagues your depressing back woods life filled with depression, anger, and rage. I'll be right here listening to Rascal Flatts and you wish you were doing the same thing.

    Rascal Flatts rocks! hide show

    What can I say about Rascal Flatts? Ever since they first came out in the country music scene 6 years ago, I have been a big fan of theirs. And what's not to love about Gary, Joe Don, and Jay? They harmonize beautifully in all of their songs, mix heartfelt ballads with fun songs on their CDs with great ease, write great songs for their CDs, and of course, it doesn't hurt that the guys are nice to look at as well.

    While I know there are more reasons why Rascal Flatts are one great groups in the music world today, these are just a few of the reasons why I like them. These are also the reasons why they have great staying power in the music world. They're one of the best acts in country music today and deserve all the awards they win.
