Ahhh, I see. I'd have to check but I didn't notice him 'not do it'.

The chorus of Sleep was what I noticed, certain lines of that are sung lower than they really should be

I prefer In These Arms nowadays, the vocals are great on it

All seems normal except In These Arms

The most noticebale changes concern In These Armes and The Radio Saved My Life. I like much more album versions of both songs, however it's really good they are still played live, even with lower key.

Were you people thinking that he could sing the songs like the original version until he turned 70? Everybody changes their songs a little bit. Seen Stones live? Mick sings very well, but it ain't like the original version. I don't mind keychange og anything as long as there is passion and energy in the performance. That's what it's all about. And Jovi delivers energy these days. That's enough for me!
Who can sing like he did 20 years ago?
If you don't like the liveversions nowdays, put on the cd and don't go to the shows.
Don't expect the band to not evolve.

Sorry if I sound mad, didn't mean to sound mad, but the times are a-changin'! So it goes for Bon Jovi

Not including how every song is done half a step down, the only songs whose key has actually changed is Bed of Roses, In These Arms and, I think, Livin in Sin (I THINK).

Meh...

I didn't know they'd dropped 'Bed of Roses' even further. Last time I heard it, they were just a half-step down as they are with most other tracks. What key's that in now?

I can see your point. For me Jon is still the greatest rock singer ever, no matter how much they tune the songs down.

It´s just that I think a song like Radio Saved My Life suffers a lot because of the changes made.
