What's Bon Jovi last great ballad ?

lol

Wasn't my intention to sound like I was forcing my opinion.

Sources say it was released in 2000, but I'm not the most knowledgeable Bon Jovi fan in the world AND the universe, so what do I know...

Best live performance

I am just messing with ya xD

It was barely performed live in 2001 anymore and if you're talking about the Pro Shot video from Toronto, that was in 2000

"Open All Night" (from Bounce) was I think the last genuinely decent ballad they've done. Took many years for me to realise it though. Back in 2002 I kind of dismissed it but when I revisited it in recent years, I've thought of it as a really honest ballad that wasn't just put on there for cliche's sake (e.g. "All About Lovin' You). It's a far cry from "Always" or any of the other 80's/90's ballads though.

Honourable mentions to;

Thank You for Loving Me
These Open Arms
Maybe Someday
I Will Drive You Home

I like the song too, but I think there is some punch missing in it. Some high notes for instance.

Part of why the songs post-2000 suffer a bit is because of Jon's vocals I think. Imagine if he did a key change at the end of I'm with you for example. That'd be epic !

Livin' In Sin

From Bed Of Roses on, every ballad's been too soft & cheesy for my taste...

Yeah cuz Never Say Goodbye and I'll be There for you totally isn't soft and cheesy.

Please read carefully above.
