Cute!
I'm very cynical so I always think those things are staged but anyway it's a fun way to reach the fans.
And regarding his voice, according to supposed singers/voice experts, Jon could still sing high notes but there's absolutely no reason for him to do it since his current vocal technique is supposed to preserve his vocal chords until he decides to call it quits. It's just a happy medium for him. What *I* think is that he can't sound his best anymore because whatever he's doing, is not natural for him so it's an extra mental effort. Easy and better for his voice, but harder work, requires training, concentration, etc.
We should kick start a "Make Jon sing Livin' on a Prayer in its original key" campaign, donate all proceedings to charity. I betcha with all the money we'll raise here, he would have to acknowledge us and do it
Who volunteers?
