You said that's your opinion so I am only coming back to further the discussion and not to try to change your mind.
If he is a guy in his 50s (grey hair, etc.) why would him doing that at 57 be different to him doing it at 47? That suggests something physical impedes him from looking as natural as he used to just ten years ago.
That may be. However, it looks to me that he cannot be the natural frontman anymore becuase he isn't one. He has moved on and needs to force it, which is why it does seem forced to me.
And look, I am no fan of the rock star living in the past and am not seeking that from Jon. That said, there's something missing when I see him perform. I think the most obvious explanation is a lack of passion.
