In Lisbon 2011, he chose to end a fantastic show AND tour again with ILTT and Twist and shout, despite having a ton of great songs rehearsed and ready to go. I’ve never written or released a song myself, so I have no idea if he has the need to embrace his song even though he knows that 99% of the fans don’t like it. Or, does he have a clue that 99% of the fans don’t like it and would rather hear something else ?

In 2012 Richie did a cover of Don’t Look Back in Anger (I’m an Oasis diehard fan, but I have no desire at all to see Richie covering Oasis, and what’s worse, impersonating Liam even though everyone knows that Noel sings the song. But does Richie now that ?

And then he chose to play WSYCGH. Everyone knows that only Bon Jovi diehards bought tickets to see Richie live in 2012, and 99% of them can’t stand the song being played anymore, and would rather hear something from his own albums. But again, does Richie know that ?

These are just a couple of examples, but the list goes on and on.

Are they really that clueless ??
