Who in the Bon Jovi camp thinks it's a good idea to do such a performance in a mega popular TV show like Ellen? How can Jon who obviously knows his limitations enough so that he doesn't even attempt to sing these parts, think that him performing like that would lead to any promotional benefit?

So where are the people who argued me that Jon should do a carpool karaoke with Corden? Yeah, he should absolutely do a HQ TV segment where he would have to sing Prayer and Bad Name in original key, while he does even't try to sing these new songs that were recorded to accommodate his current voice on a high-profile TV performance!! Sure, sounds like a great idea!

If Jon wants to keep making music (as he many times said, he prefers writing and recording over touring), he should just do the Bowie thing (last few years before death) - make albums and no live performances. Sure, the wallet would suffer greatly, but he's set for life and the Bon Jovi legacy should be worth more than a few extra million.
