Marc Broussard, LeAnn Rimes Put Issues Aside in New Video

Posted: March 12th, 2009 at 2:15 pm  |  By: Whitney Self  

This song isn't claiming love is a fairy tale. Love isn't flawless and love isn't perfect. Marc Broussard and LeAnn Rimes nicely portray this rocky relationship in their recent collaboration, "When It's Good." His smoky, sexy vocals complement her soft, yet strong sound. He's a bit scruffy, she's refreshingly refined. And though they've both made mistakes, hurt one another and feel remorseful, they're still trying to be better. Because, like the song says, even when it's bad, it ain't really that bad. I suppose that's why I feel so connected to the truth behind these lyrics. They're not pretending relationships are a blissful ride into eternity. Instead, they're learning from their pangs of heartache and mistake, opening their eyes to just how much they truly care. Finally, a love song that's light on the sap -- but rich in candor.

    Love it. This is so much more REAL than some of the nonsense that’s on the radio these days.

    What a wonderful song. I love both of the singers and the idea that they are trying to tell us. No one on this world gets by without hurt and heartache. This song is true to form and is beautiful. I also loved the video, well done.

    Love this song and video. I’ve been and Marc Broussard fan for awhile and have been waiting for him to come into the main stream country music. LeAnn Rimes is fantastic and the right partner for this song.

    Love Leann and Marc together on this one. What a pair. I can’t help but wonder though if she doesn’t have her co partner in Nora Robert’s Movie on her mind while singing this one. They did make a very beautiful couple.
