I think the thing that Jon does best is interact with the audience and get the crowd going.

Have you ever seen BJ live??

Jon is the best live performer I've ever seen! I've never seen another person interact with the audience as well as he does or captivate an audience as well as he does. Steven Tyler, Prince, and Tim McGraw all interact well with their audiences, but they don't do so as well as Jon. Some like Alan Jackson and Johnny Rzeznick seem like they're just staring at their own shoes.

Every time my best friend goes to a show she comes back and tells me, "Well, they can't top the master" and she keeps telling her husband that no one they go see together comes close to putting on the show that Bon Jovi, and Jon specifically as a frontman, does. She's got her husband convinced that he has to go see Bon Jovi now. She doesn't have the bias I do and has seen more concerts than me.

What? Jon is a great performer. He's constanitly interacting with the fans. He gets the crowd going when he looks at particular fans(especially the girls) and flashes them his pearly whites. Plus he often does the whole microphone to the audience thing. IMO his interaction adds to the wholoe experience of their great performances.

Nicole Kidman is ugly and pale.
But what about Axl Rose. Isnīt he the best frontman ever? Sings his ass off, jumps into the audience risking his life and burns a lot of calories. What more can you want?

Nobody commands a stage like JBJ. If you think he's a poor performer I'd like to hear whos better. Also, Jon has been at it for 20 years and shows absolutely no signs of slowing down (at least from a live performance stand point). His stage theatrics, enthusiasm, and presence on stage set him apart from the rest.

What are you talking about? Apparently you haven't been to any Bon Jovi concerts. I've been to two so far, and I must say, he is the best performer that I have seen. He really knows how to get the crowd going and I think he brings life to the songs both with his voice and with his stage performance. He shows much emotion and you can tell that he enjoys what he does. I've seen other bands and their frontmans or other members don't have that presence and emotion that Jon does. My sis and my friends were very impressed at how good of a performance he put on.
