Well said. Jon was a great singer at one point. He could hit the high notes, the low notes, etc, and he even used to nail them live too. Post 1997 though his voice has been slowly detriorating and he seems to sing everything in an almost husky way, and a lot if the time its almost as if he's singing with a peg on his nose.
Richie on the other hand hasn't got a bad voice at all. It's powerful and can suit rock songs or ballads but there is just something missing for me. The way he pronounces some words just doesn't seem to sound quite right.
It's wierd really as it seems when men get older some singers start to lose their high notes and others don't. People who have would include Roger Daltery, Robert Plant, Joe Elliot and of course Jon. People who haven't would include Mick Jagger, Steven Tyler and Eric Clapton. They seem to sing as well as, or even better than they did in their 20s as far as I have heard.
