Strictly Jon. That's his song and he sings with the right emotion. Richie used to sing it with plenty emotion too, but the way Jon sings it is the way I want to hear that song. And I loved Richie's version too death (it was my highlight on MSG DVD along with Blood On Blood), but it was also because I didn't thought Jon could pull it off as good as he did this tour. The only realistic thing that could be done to make this song even better (realistic means no screaming Jon) is bringing back Richie outro that he used to do when Jon was singing this song in 2001. Overall, to me it was one of the best live songs of the past two years, so I'm happy that it was a staple again. Having that said, I really wouldn't mind that it would only be performed sometimes in the next tour and that 'hit ballad that gets to be played every night' spot would be given to Always if Jon's still able to pull that off in mid 2010s or whenever they're gonna tour.
