Jon doing Prayer live Jersey4Jersey
No one started a thread about it - ok it was only one song but it's the closest you'll have to a 'tour' anytime soon.
Really, how good was that ? To me that IS the direction. Jon shouldn't be doing those full on massive electric tours - he clearly can't handle it, vocal-wise. He is, however, able to deliver very emotional performances when playing lo-key like this. Tours should be short and should focus more on stripped down versions where Jon can actually still shine and deliver. Just my two cents. |
Aloha !

Jon would never, ever be able to do a full show like this. His voice is toast near the end of the song. And "a massive electric tour" is a lot, lot more easier on his vocals than shows with stripped back, acoustic arrangements. He can't hide behind anything. No backing singers, no loud PA, no poor acoustics... Even if people would actually be willing to hear a full show like this, which they won't, Jon would sound horrible, surely these Runaway concerts have proved that by now. Salaam Aleikum, Sebastiaan |

His mid range does seem to be slowly returning,he wasn't shout singing as much like last years Runaway Tour performance of Prayer 94. Jon is midly improving,but only time will tell if he'll improve more. With the 2020 tour canned Jon can have a long break and rest his voice and if he is still working with a vocal coach he can keep working on his voice until all this Co-vid 19 stuff calms down and the band can finally get back on the road. |
It still sounded bad. Being 5% better than a previous crappy performance still results in crap.
I'd still be just as embarrassed to show this performance to my family and friends (who all know me as a Bon Jovi fan) as I would with any other performance of him since 2014. To your average Joe who's not used to being tortured with bad singing as this board has been for the past 6 years, this counts as crap. Quote:

That said, stopping smoking would almost certainly help with the breathlessness and would probably prevent his voice deteriorating much more. With all his wealth I can not believe that Jon has looked at every option available to him. It must be heartbreaking for him to sound how he sounds. |

I do believe that Jon's now looked at every option available, but at the same time it's pretty much him who is to blame for sounding so bad. At the latest point, after the SWW tour, he should've realized that his instrument is quite fragile and that it needs to be taken special care of. Yet, from the mid#90's onwards, he's treated it like shit. Smoking like a maniac at times, never learning to sustain a proper technique etc. If you keep rambling about legacy, a career, longevity and don't make sure that you're voice is treated well, it's stupid... |

Stripped down acoustic, adapting songs and vocals...classics in a TLFR style and new songs Stand Up Guy or Do what you can style 👏🏾👏🏾 Lot better than trying to bear Bad Medicine and more than half the set without yelling ‘Please God, stop’ |

I personally think he’s in denial about his voice when you listen to some of his interviews. I also think the people around him are not honest with him about how he sounds.😒 |

As for the people around him - what benefit would it be for them to even bring it up, unless it's the elephant in the room and hasn't ever been addressed. |
