Since Because We Can we've truly seen Jon become the artist I hoped he'd never become. I'm sure it's the artist he always said he didn't want to become as well - a true parody of himself.

Maybe this is just what the music industry has become over the past few years. I dunno. It's just sad to see a real idol selling out like this.

It isn't just that Jon can't sing, he seems to be so bored to death that Bobby comes out like Angus Young on stage comapred to him. Take a band like Kiss where Paul Stanley can't sing at all anymore, but Kiss puts on a hell of a show still and gives 100 %. I don't understand how this change can have happend so fast. I remember back in 2011 Jon was still fantastic. Sad to see.

We'll they should learn to be a Bon Jovi cover band if Jon is going to be using more of them. Seriously, a few covers are cool but these b-rated South Side Johnny songs that Jon could barley sing need to go.

The Letter, House Party, 634-5789, Peace Love Understanding, are Bruce & South Side signature cover songs. It works for them. Jon is a different artist and I hate when he tries to be them.

Bobby does 2 himself, well the SGT Pepper into and Baba which is bullshit when people pay top dollar to see a Jon Bon Jovi show in Cancun.

Old Time Rock n Roll is a song for old people played at weddings. The best part of that set-list is in the bottom right under audibles where it says "Law". Jon was going to do "I fought the law but the law won" but he couldn't remember the lyrics. They attempted it three times during rehearsals.

The only 3 covers that Jon does which are worthy are, Under Pressure, Everyday People and Pretty Woman (which is played out and should be kept with the "Sleep" medley)

These are the same Bullshit songs that he did at the last Starland Show. The first one he did is what I would wan't to see more of. He did rarities of his own songs. Don't Leave Me Tonight was epic and what a die-hard would want to hear, not House Party.

Very sad. Even compare the beginning of 2013 with Richie, to now.

I think it's Jon's singing coach. He's changed his technique and I bet Jon doesn't even realize how bad he's become.

This is very poor. Both in terms of setlist and performance.

I have been wanting a Jon solo album/tour for a while but if this is the route he is going down, then I couldn't care less about them two things. Far too many covers and the songs that he is playing are the same hits and the songs we are all bored of.

Vocally he sounds so poor again. I wasn't expecting anything more in all honesty. He seems to be putting so much effort in getting the high notes but their is no power and he sounds extremely weak considering his head looks like it's about to explode.

That smiley sums up Jon's face whilst singing.

Jon Bon Jovi and the KOS with Phil X

Richie Sambora and the Aftermath band with Orianthi



Richie rocked the audience. Jon and friends did not.

Yes. And I bet Jon could still sting in that lower tone.
