Considering this was posted in a Bon Jovi forum, it probably aims at comparing the two bands in today's performances.

Kudos to Stones for not being AC/DC and touring with the same set for 20 years (something they could easily get away with), but they still don't mix their sets nearly as Bon Jovi. If Stones went on a full tour (not a few one off shows like right now) and we analyze their setlist on a daily basis, they would be more stale.
Vocally, it's also not really impressive. The reason Jagger's voice is still the same is cause his songs are piss-poor easy to sing. He barely has any range. On easy songs, like Wild Is The Wind or I'd Die For You, Jon's vocals haven't changed either. I wonder how Mick would sound in 2013 if most of his catalogue was as challenging as Jon's.
However, the moving around and entertaining part is spot on. That is the incredible part about him when you look at him and remember his actual age. Jon should take notes.
