I'm not a vocalist by any means but if we are talking about both in their prime... Jon has/had more passion in his delivery and more power but had moments of being inconsistent which is blamed on over usage and wrong technique... Richie has/had a clearer or cleaner voice... Powerful but not as powerful as Jons... Richie could win American Idol but that's not necessarily a good thing by my standards
