Yeah, he has been bragging about that a lot, including "the new, better me" or something along those lines. I don't see how it's better, sorry. It's acceptable maybe, but most certainly not better than ever before.

And yeah, strange that he's not moving, though probably same cause and effect as to why he's not playing his acoustic. In an ideal world, I'd have him playing that, bouncing around the stage and hitting every note, but if I had to chose one of that, it'd probably be the latter, I don't know...

And considering his range: I don't think range is the problem (listen to the sing-alongs during Prayer, and the other aforementioned places). It's either breathing-related, psychological (godd*mn it, Jon, get rid of that hand-opening gesture after every semi-hard line you've just delivered as if you're life is depending on it) or whatever. The range is different in that his voice has lowered quite a bit so that he can't sing several notes as he's used to, but he obviously has (learned) technique to hit quite the high notes. And I do believe he's getting better at mixing the different techniques he's learned. Let's just hope it's sustainable and not getting worse every show...
