Default Best Voice

Alot of you have beem saying that Jons voice isnt up to scratch and that Richie should step forward or even Tico, but do you realy think that BonJovi could make it as a group without Jon singing? Vote for who you think has the best voice in the band and we will have an answer.

I don't like Richie's, Dave's, or Tico's voices well enough to buy a CD of a band fronted by any of them, much less would I want to go to a concert and listen to any of them sing for 2 hours. Of those three, I think David has the most pleasant voice, but I enjoy listening to Tico most.

Now Richie has the better voice, but in the past leading up to These Days I think Jon had the better voice. Richie is really good, although Jon used to be a great singer, but now he's got a bit more croaky and weak in a way.

I am with Becky. I have to say that Richie's voice is quite boring to me. I don't think it is a bad voice, but it is just missing something for me. There is no variation to that bluesy sound of his.

Without Jon as the lead singer, bonjovi couldnt continue, as for who has the best voice it has to still be jon, Richie can hit more notes ,but doesnt have the xfactor to make you want to listen.

I like Richies voice, but him fronting Bon Jovi? NEVER!

Don't like Davids voice at all, but Ticos is quite good, but I wouldn't like him to front BJ either...

Jons voice might not be what it was 10 years ago, but that's just the way it is... I'm more concerned about the boring set lists

the question is misleading. Yes, i think Richie has a better voice nowadays, but i could not see him fronting bon jovi. Without Jon it wouldnt be Bon Jovi, even if he is a crap singer.

There's more that goes into being a good front person than being the best singer int he band.

My thoughts exactly. Jon's voice can become a lot better again, but he has to work on it, just like every other singer has to.

I however must say that I think Richie's voice is beautifull and especially for his own songs. I love listening to his solo tracks, but a Bon Jovi concert with only Bon Jovi songs al sung by Richie: nope, that won't work.

Tico being the lead singer . How anyone can come up with that, I don't know. Yes, it's very cool to hear him sing one song, but that's enough for me lol. I like Tico a lot, but he's at his best being the drummer and he's one of the very best out there!

David's voice isn't my favorite at all: I can still hear him sing my favorite Bon Jovi song, In These Arms, on his cd "Lunar Eclipse". Boy oh boy, that sounds really awefull! Memphis however is a nice song and the song suits his vocals.
