What's worse?

1) Let me remind you that everyone here in their 40s aren't in music business.

2) Rock songs? Bwah!...and Jon can't even perform poppy stuff properly.

3) If he (they) can't even try to put some real effort into it, quitting ain't such a bad choise

actually I';m not in my 40's but I can sing it in it's original key, I am a singer in a band but I'm not what you would call a profesional singer, Jon is thought.

Now this just made me laugh my ass off. Jon has taken worse kinds of criticism from much more important people, do you really think if he read this on a messsage board he would quit??

Exactly. When I'm in my 40's (or 50's or whatever) and I don't perform my job as well as I used to, I also receive criticism and I might just risk losing my job if I continue not working on certain standards. I don't see why Jon shouldn't get criticism if he's not performing like he used to.

Aloha !

If it's not interesting to you, why are you even bothered leaving a reply?

And it seems like you're generalising over here with your people that are bored by old news, because so far a lot of people are agreeing with me about this, and with the exception of the same few silly backstagers no one is posting any reply in which they disagree with me. You aren't as well, but that's because you're never talking about the subject but always about the poster who posts it, in this case, is me.

We all know you wouldn't have placed that reply of you if the topic was made by someone else, but you're just doing it because I'm posting it. Which is really sad and childish to me.

I just made this topic because I was wondering if there are people that disagree with me who could back up why. I wasn't trying to start a discussion about how miserably Jon sings nowadays, the topic was made because of the reason stated. And that's all. No other intentions. If my intention was to bash Jon, and to satisfy my ego (why my ego would be satisfied because of people agreeing with me about my opinion of Jon is beyond me) I could've simply posted a "Jon sucks" topic. I would've gotten more replies, a discussion with more arguments why and all that stuff. But I didn't.

Steven Tyler, Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger, Bryan Adams, Axl Rose, Joe Cocker. They all sing in the original keys and are all beyong their 40s. And about Paul McCartney; A song doesn't have to be a rock song to be tough to sing. Plus, listen to any performance of Live And Let Die, and then comment about his vocal performance. He's got a more powerful voice than Jon has got in any of his songs nowadays. That's all I've got to say about the singing, as like I said, it wasn't my intention to start a debate about the vocal performance.

To lay open what a silly poll it is.

But that's the point. There isn't really an option that means disagreeing with you.

I don't know where this part is talking about you. I gave my opinion about it which made exactly clear that it is option 2, of course option 2, because there is no real chance to choose something else.
There is no discussion about the facts in option 2, but what you are once again trying to get out of them is highly amusing to me.

Talking about generalising, eh?
Anyway, that is probably true, but whose fault is it if I read something that makes me react? Mine? I would have thought it IS the posters'.
It's the same with you and your friend Sambo-Chris, or with our special friend Devilsson. So you're as sad and childish as I am.
And come on, you like reading stuff about you, don't you?

And since this poll seems useless to me, there was no other way for me to disagree than criticising the poll itself.

No, neither this.

Nor that in my opinion.

No, you could not. Because you either wouldn't get away with it that easy anymore or you wouldn't get your intended reaction that easy anymore.
You put your muck into tricky phrasings recently.

Yeah, and watching on HDTV is almost like being there.


It's BS when someone tries to pass off opinion as fact.

You were at the pep rally? I don't think that was on HDTV, was it?

Jon has repeatedly thanked the fans of Bon Jovi through the years. I don't quite understand what your complaint is unless it's more bitterness over Jon's association with arena football and the shows they are playing here and not there.

What? You're welcome to your opinion. Just like some of the things that get old being rehashed over here, your bad feelings toward Jon's interest in his football team is just as played out. Let him do what he enjoys, one day Bon Jovi will not tour anymore and all they will do is their outside interests. Why complain about it now when they are still making music and touring together?

I just noticed this, Axl Rose??
Maybe he sings in the original key, but should he??
I got my hands on some songs (not a whole bootleg) from some of their last performances and axl really sounded ok on some songs and like sh1t on others.

I agree with you on this one. Axl USED TO BE on top of his game in the beginning. But some of the boots I have, he sounds HORRIBLE!!!!!! Jon may be slipping a little here and there, but no way can it be said that Axl has a great voice. Besides I much rather go see Bon Jovi where I am guarented a show, then to spend my money to go see Axl and his new band or even go see Guns back in the day and wonder if I was actually gonna get a show or if I was gonna have to run for my life away from a riot, because the lead singer threw a temper tantrum. At least with Jovi, you know the show will happen unless there was some sort of catostrophic event. Not because the lead, was a 2 year old and rather go to a basketball game.

If you can't tell, I have no respect for Axl Rose anymore.

I don´t think Axl ever was at the top of his game. He rarely gave top vocal performances (this based on several bootlegs, not actual concerts). He (or his voice) is just too varying.

George Michael, Mick Hucknall (two of the best singers of the 90s).......they dont seem to have any trouble
