I think JBJ is better. His prime years were out of reach on Richie's part. But RS has that passion and tone that JBJ didn't have. He is great on stage especially on 1995 tour where he went nuts on most of the shows. But JBJ proving that he can still do it back on the LH tour down to the GH tour pretty much ended the debate for me. Add up his wide vocal range and then this debate is a no brainer IMHO

I chose Jon but I was thinking about them in their prime. Nowadays I would've chosen either, they both suck.

Jon had the better tone/most iconic voice in the 90s and Richie is the better singer since his voice aged better than Jonīs voice

Stranger in This Town was a highlight on the TD tour whereas when he performed a BJ song I'd skip it or go pee/grab a drink if I was on the show. It's not bad by any means, but his style is too much "oversinging" for BJ songs. His harmonies on the other hand are killer. He's brought to life and saved so many performances over the years, it's incredibly noticeable the vocal hole he's left (Dave has an excellent voice too, but I don't like it at all and don't blends well with Jon's)

I'd have chosen Jon+Richie as the best singing/voice overall if it was an option
I love David's harmony with Jon in the chorus of I'd die for you

Interesting topic, did a similar poll a couple of years ago which you might find interesting. https://drycounty.com/jovitalk/bon-j...singer-t69047/
