Yeah, Orianthi has zero stage presence. She looks exactly like the session guitarist she is, not a rock star by any means. She can play, no doubt, but she needs to learn to perform.

And Richie is playing sloppy. He even messes up the Wanted guitar lick many times, and he's been playing that for decades. In Stranger he can't remember the chords and plays many of the licks in the wrong key. And the solo is horrible, he plays in the wrong key, but the band doesn't know how it goes either.

I like the way they do different versions of the classic songs, esp. Prayer. Then again, it wasn't possible to have the talk box and have Richie sing at the same time.

But yeah, looks and sounds unrehearsed, just jamming. The sound isn't really good either. Just your average bar band jamming. And I still like it a lot more than what Bon Jovi does nowadays.
