Yes, but he's sang a song every night since 2003, and he still flubbed up the lyrics and sounded half drunk sometimes. But it's no secret that his vocals have deteriorated. Just look at his backing vocals on songs like Blood on Blood and Wanted since 2005 or so compared to everything earlier.
But I agree about Stranger, HT, and IBTFY. I'm sick of LYHOM from him. I've always thought that Jon sounds better on vocals there, and Richie playing the riff in the verses instead of the barely-audible Bobby. Stranger and HT are great, but they cause a mass exodus to the bathrooms and beer concessions, especially in America. IBTFY would be a good choice (especially the 9 minute versions with the long solo at the end).
