I disagree. It sounds worse then 2010 because his voice had deteriorated considerabley since then. If he's got anything on his mind it's hitting the notes and trying not to sound like shit.

He co-wrote most of the songs with Richie, so if it was the case he'd had Richie on his mid everytime he sung a line that Richie wrote, or heard a solo that was Richie's. Honestly, I think Jon is way over the Richie thing!
