I'm sure Jon would have sung tracks like Always (original version), Bed Of Roses (original version), I'll Be There For You (original version), Hey God and This Ain't A Love Song much better on the HAND tour than he did on the BWC tour.

Or do you really still think he would (or even could) have sounded this bad in '05-'06?

In '13, Jon still looked like a rock star, but sounded like a cat whose balls had gotten stuck in a milkshake blender. In '05, he still both looked and sounded like a rock star... and in '17 he looks like my grandpa while sounding like a castrated goat:

Just look at the way his whole body shakes during the choruses while he grabs the mic stand like it would prevent him from exploding at any moment. The poor guy literally looks like he's about to die from straining to hit the notes. That last chorus is plain and simply sad to hear - it sounds like Jon's trying to give it everything he has left of his voice, but it's not enough. The "I'll be there 'til the stars don't shine..." part about makes me cry, as it sounds like Jon realizes his tank is empty and ends up swallowing his own tears of disappointment.

And he used to be one of the best vocalists in the business...

Heartbreaking, isn't it?
