To cover a Bon Jovi Songs must be a nightmare, musically they are so advanced, and I cant see many males being able to sing like Jon can.
A Bon Jovi song is incredibly hard to play and sing. Anyone else agree?
Any one in these message boards who could do their music justice?

I've seen a few tribute bands to Bon Jovi that claim to be very similar, and at times I almost feel embarrassed for them.
I think Bon Jovi are a unique band, no one could be like them.

I can sing somewhat like Jon (but of course you can tell the difference)..

Although, I think I sing more like Richie. I'd rather sing like Jon and play guitar like Richie, but either way is fine since they both rock at both!

I started to look Bon Jovi stuff up after an old member of my band said my voice was sounding pretty much like Jonīs. It actually did. But my voice changed as I improved singing... a cannot do some things I used to. But I can do other things.

Yes, Jonīs voice is peculiar. Not everybody can sing like him. But after all Iīve been listening to the past years I got used to the high notes. You know... in Livinī On A Prayer they sing with falsetto voice at the end of the song when the tone goes up. I couldnīt reach that when I started out. I mean... I could, actually... but it sounded very bad. Now I do it without having to use falsetto. Itīs just a matter of time and practice
