This is a decent performance. He sounds like a guy that hasn't sung in seven months, it's good but no where near Richies best voice.

It looks like he's wearing a terrible wig and he has a turkey neck but damn I miss that voice harmonizing with Jon's on tour.

Interesting choice of song considering the lyrics. Is there a song more fitting the current situation?

Alright performance. Vocals seemed to be lacking that extra bit of power he usually has.

"Please....swallow your pride....". *I miss Richie....I've seen the band maybe 10-12 times in a row now with no Richie.....X was great/did good...but at end of day, he's no Richie Sambora!

He did start a bit off key but he pulled it back. Can be as simple as not performing in some time or a crappy ear piece. As someone else said he was playing to a film crew not a crowd and you can tell by his reaching out - he's probably more at home with feedback live. I know I have a horrid crush but he looked good to me, nothing fake like so many of the lund take over pictures et al... And basically - I am just happy he was making music! :)

See, the situation with Jovi would have been soothed a lot more if he was doing stuff like this rather than the fashion nonsense.

Song choice and adlibs at the end could sure be interpreted as a message to Jon ("call me" about 10000x times at the end), but I'm not one of those conspiracy theorists ;)

He looks like a transsexual.
