Richie
isn't in the same way that Beyonce is. Not even close. Most people are unaware of his solo albums. The casual Bon Jovi listener only knows Jon. The majority of people know who Beyonce is. The majority of people do not know who Richie Sambora is. Bon Jovi has sold millions of records "Richie Sambora" hasn't, so to speak...

It's really not. Bon Jovi are a massive machine. RSO are not. of course not every Bon Jovi fan is going to know about RSO. It people that are Richie Sambora fans do not even know about RSO (and I know that there are some), then its' safe to say that a lot of Bon Jovi fans don't? and if Richie Sambora fans have not heard about RSO - then the project has definitely not got anywheere close to "reaching the ceiling"...

Beyonce doing an album with Orianthi is just as pointless a comparison. Beyonce has the star power alone to pull that off. Neither Ori or Richie do.
Ok, I've really covered all of your other points in my previous points, so I'm not going to rehash. It's ok to disagree, and we most definitely do.
