I think Jon doees appear to be struggling with the new expressions he keeps pulling when trying to reach a note.... is he really struggling or is he acting, trying to make the delivery of his performance appear more from the gut , emotional etc... whatever the reason I dont like it and wish he would stop , u dont need to pull faces to hit a note !

When you're reaching for a note, Dawn; you naturally strain your face and pull a weird look.

The easier notes, inside his range, don't cause him to pull the faces.

you dont have to, its a choice... Ive heard him sing the same note within mths without pulling the straining face. All he does is this straining look now ... I feel like its when we went through the period of Jon needs to behave like a fish gasping in extra air in order to deliver a better note, not only did he look stupid it didnt make a difference.. he will now only gasp on rare occassions thankfully. I bet in a years time he stops doing this Im dramatically straining for you face.

Yeah, it is a sort of straining face.
I'm hope it does stop soon, the first time i saw him do it was when they sung "let it be" at the royal variety performance, and i was thinking whats he doing!!

I think the Vancouver BOB is good, these videos aren't the best but the sound is good, and I think Jon sounds really good, faces or not:

Part 1, starts in the audience:

Part II

The smoking idea is interesting but again has been said before. Indeed why would you ruin your voice if you are a lead singer in one of the biggest bands on the planet??

My point was that in recent years he has strained to reach the higher notes. Now he seems to strain to reach even quite easy ones.

I like all of you am a huge BJ fan but I just hate seeing him struggle through songs which should be a walk in the park.

The thing is that you are only as good as your last album/tour and they need to deliver night after night to the highest possible standard. Maybe it's the mix of the LH songs which are quite easy to sing (not many high notes) in comparison to some of their other/older songs, Jon going from say 'Summertime' to 'Blood on Blood' may be difficult.

I totally agree on what you are saying, i've just finished watching the Tokyo 2008 gig and at some parts he sounds absolutely horrific. Just check this:
He isn't the singer what he used to be, but he is far from bad too. He is kinda middle of the road.

But what the **** are the fishfaces while singing?
