Signal in work is too shit to watch it, but is it the one with Philip Schofield? If I remember right, that was about prices for the O2?

the JON Haters on FACEBOOK are now saying JON is struggling on his own without Richie, they say " his voice is sounding terrible at times"

so they must think Jons voice was spot on before Richie jumped ship.....

Again Im not taking sides in this spat, I think theyre both to blame, but to be SO BLINKERED is just laughable

You said it friend, Jon voice remains as painful as before. He ruined other tours in the past with their voice problems.

You're kidding, right? There's actually a facebook page named "JON Haters"?

My guess is it will be 'Richie Sambora Fans'

Jon's voice does sound horrible lately....that opinion has nothing to do with taking sides.
(Btw, the term "hater" is so childish. Things aren't that black and white.)

Nobody's disputing his voice isn't at its best. It's the ludicrous idea that it's only got bad since Richie left.

Good guess! Never go into a Richie Sambora Fans Support Page because you won't get out alive.

Jon and the kid were cute, even though it was clear in the beginning that Jon was playing to the crowd, like shaking his finger each time the youngster reached for the mic. But when the kid held up the mic for the crowd to sing “Wanted” and Jon just lost it, I cracked up. It seemed that Jon’s stunned delight at the kid pulling such a Jon/Richie move momentarily wiped all the nastiness of the situation from his mind, as it did from mine. For those few moments, Jon seemed to truly enjoy being on stage, which is something I haven’t seen often, from him or Richie, since Bamboozle, and maybe even before that. Thinking about it later, I realized that while I have (truthfully) said all along that I believe this whole thing must be hard for both of them, I have been gutted on Richie’s behalf; but Jon’s pain had never really hit me viscerally until that moment.

Late to the party as always but your whole post was spot on but particularly this paragraph. I've said in another thread about this video, the Jon on stage was as genuine as to the "real" Jon that we haven't gotten in a long time and what you just wrote made sense. Since this whole thing started, I think in that moment with Marco was the first time that Jon really had fun up there. He was not trying to prove that it's the same show, not trying to hold a whole concert on his shoulders, he had a "side kick" He has been missing his right hand man, more then he will ever let on and for that one song, he had someone who Jon could be himself again. Then add on the innocence of a child and the enjoyment that kid was feeling. No bullshit there, it was real.
