Gary Levox is one of the most talented singers I have ever heard, but he is only "human."
Some of the comments I read about him over this "one" performance were ridiculous. A tour is strenuous on any musician's voice, and Gary is not the first to have an off-night.
Personally, I am proud of Gary for still performing even though he knew he was't well. That right there shows dedication and heart.
Those of you non-musicians who commented rudely. Give it a rest. You have no room to talk!
I felt soooo bad for Gary the whole time! I would never have the guts to sing in front of that many people with a hoarse voice. I'm glad he didn't give up. This made me love Rascal Flatts even more!
although gary is sick, he didnt wimp out like the other musicians have before and lip sync. my family and i are hard core rascal flatts fans and this performance was kick ass even though gary was ill. and to throw jamie in the mix only made it even more better because he freckin rocks. so keep on rockin jamie and we will always be jaming to you gary, jay, and jo don. waiting for our chance to sing with you.
he was straining hard against being hard. I have total admiration for him not cancelling--even though the strain could truly hurt him. Jamie was a great addition. I just saw this again on CMT, and it reminded me that I wanted to look it up on here. I only wish I could hear it when Gary is in perfect health...it was awesome...but that would have been more than words can say!!
They performed it with Jamie Foxx on Oprah like two weeks ago and it was perfect. Gary sounded awesome. You should try to find it, I don't know if it's been posted on YouTube though.
WOW, thanks! I will try to find it! Also--and NO I have NOT looked at all the comments here, BUT the album version I have of this song, has Jamie in it as wel...and I didnt know that until I listened to it last night.
Rascal flatts is AWESOME!!!! BUT!! Jamie Foxx was outstanding they were great together and I could only REALLY HOPE they sing together, even a CD sounds AWESOME!!!!!! Love em both.
I recently watched this again on CMT and Gary does a great job singing even when being ill. Jamie makes that song awesome, but there is no match to Gary's voice...its truly one of a kind.
What an awesome combination of vocals. Anyone with an ounce of talent can tell Gary had to strain that night. IT HAPPENS!!! Comes with the territory of having to entertain almost every night of your life. Go guys! Encore!!!
anybody he says he is a bad singer is toatlly wrong he looks ill and his voice is affected by this buit he gets up der a fights on watch him sing god bless the broken road wif carrie underwood on youtube n im sure gary change ure mind
Hey everyone, Not to put down anyonanyones opinion but um you have no right saying gary is a horrible singer!! If you dont like him then don't watch!!!! you can't say anything he is an amazing singer!!!! Goo job GAry!!! Go FLATTS!!!!!!
When it comes to the high register in the voice all it takes to cut it out is a small cold or even exhaustion. He looked like he wasn't feeling very well. I'm sure he was either under the weather or his voice was simply tired. He had the same problems with the first performance that night! They have proven to be a great band and are changing the landscape of country music. Dan Huff is basically their fourth band member!!! All in all a great band.
that was just a bad show for him. I feel so bad for him but he's amazing I saw them in concert about a month ago and he sounded amazing... love rascal flatts and joe don.
ohh poor guy i felt so bad for him oh well his fans still love him!We love you Gary!<3
it might have been because of nerves probably not though cause he performs all the time whatever the problem was i love him for trying! He's already proved himself. I LOVE YOU GARY!!!
it was still really awesome. even if gary was a little off. i saw them in concert & rascal flatts is I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E. jamie foxx was amazing! he has a phenomenal voice.
i heard him lose the notes, i replayed it a thousand times to make sure it wasnt me, poor gary i felt so bad for him. :[ but we all know hes a really really good singer, he just had a fluke that night....BUT I STILL LOVE THEM!! good job guys, jamie was good 2! ♥
i like at the end when Jamies like "look at me im on the CMA's" thats funny. but i think, instead of Gary pointing at Jamie to take the lead, he should have wanted Joe Don or Jay!!that would have been cool!!i love them together. and i agree with basicly everyone who commented on here. gary was most likely sick and we love him even more for trying... and yes, jay does look hott playing the piano.. :D!!
i cried for gary. i have been to several concerts and a few after parties... gary is such an amazing man, i admire him with all i am. i am so proud to be a member of the dog pound!
I saw them this summer and they were AMAZING!!!! I must admit that something was wrong with his voice but he was probably just sick!!! dont blame him he is amazing!!!
poor guy... i hope he feels better... what a champion!!! not feeling great but he still gets up there and sings! He still did great, no matter what anyone elses says i think he did great. feel better soon Gary!
Gary is the best and hottest singer ever! at least he sings in front of thousands all the time he is my hero and i don't care what ya'll say!

You're very welcome. I think someone else has the video of when they opened the show with "Still Feels Good". That was an awesome performance.

people are trying to say rascal flatts suck live and stuff, but they're really good live.
i've been to 2 concerts, and i plan on going every year.
people should realize gary was sick with bronchitus or whatever.
jeez, people are mean.
atleast they sang, right?
