Are we going to blame Jon's lack of energy and standing still at the mic on the video's distortion too? He's motionless.

Here's a better quality version of HAND. It's hard to argue with Seb's assertion that this is the worst ever performance from Jon. The second verse and pre-chorus are proof of this. He's practically mumbling.

You totally can. And they are.

Having looked at this one I gotta actually say that it looks like he is struggling with some sort of sinus issues. At 2:44 of this clip it appears he takes something out of his mouth. Probably some sort of lozenge or maybe eucalyptus gum...deffo not right is he. And yes. Worse vocal performance ever. Mitigating circumstances? Probably.

This is hands down the worst vocal performance Jon's ever given during a concert. Out of key for entire songs, relying on backing vocals for even the supposedly easy parts and flat and nasal all the way through.

Don't believe me? Think I'm overly negative? Have a listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Jm8bjdP6o8

Even Bobby's guitar solo is more in tune.

When I saw this performance, I saw this disaster coming. His vocals during this acoustic Prayer rendition are awful.

I can't see anything wrong with the vocals there - sounds pretty good to me. The vocals from today's show do not for the most part though... I think he's got a cold or something, shit happens...

This has got to be the longest cold ever. He sounded bad for the whole tour (with very few exceptions).

He's motionless because he knows how much his performance is sucking. He may not admit to it in interviews and such but, He's not stupid he's aware. Heck, my grandma doesn't listen to Bon Jovi and I think she's even aware how much that sucked!!!

Who knows but in the pictures of him arriving in Japan, he had something similar in his mouth too. I presumed gum but now you could be right.

He seemed to have more energy than during HAND but he stood at the mic the whole time during You Give Love a Bad Name too.

At the beginning of the guitar solo is the girl screaming "RICHIE! RICHIE!"? 10:03 LOL
