Maybe Ryan and Linsay Lohan can do a cover of "Let's Make Love".

Tim opened the show........With Elton John's "Tiny Dancer".

I swear to god! It was a riot!

I got dragged to McGraw show about 6 years ago and he played quite a few covers...including a relatively bizarre cover of Steve Miller's "The Joker" with super staccoto lyric delievery.

I have problems with established artists (or entertainers, as I'd consider McGraw) opening with a cover. Come on...you've got 6 albums of material surely you can open with something you [at least] recorded. I saw Kid Rock a few years ago and he opened with Led Zep's "Rock and Roll" and I thought to myself "geeeeezzzz."

When I saw Kid Rock he opened with 'Bawitaba' and I had my hat turned backwards fist pumping the air.

Tim McGraws' voice staggered out of my speakers in the same way a drunk driver staggers out of the wreck. He calls himself country? why his he backed by a frikkin Bontempi organ?

I have long since given up on Adams to come up with something I like, but I lobed this song, and I still do, its just all to easily homogenised by the likes of The Corrs and McGraw, its a simple song and needs to be sung with feeling, McGraw sounds like he is emotionally paralysed

I bet it will sound better with Tim doing that dumb bad song!

While I despise nearly all mainstreamers, I don't hate Tim. He seems to take a few more risks. But this version of the song sucks.

That's my feelings too......he's a poser for sure but there's a lot of things in Nashville worse that McGraw.

I call him an "entertainer" and not an "artist."

My Mrs loves Mr McGraw so I've learned to tolerate him on car journeys but this is really bad.

A classic re-interpretation of a classic song by a classic idiot with a super-fine wife.
