2017 Jovi Awards
Hi all! This part of the forum has been a little quiet lately so I thought I'd liven things up a bit with something I'd like to call the Jovi Awards.
Basically how it works is the Jovitalk community (us!) will vote on 10 different categories relating to the band by clicking the Nominations submission form below. Voters will have 10 days to submit their votes. At the end of the voting period, the top several submissions with the most votes in each category will be nominated for the award. At this point, voting will reopen, however this time only the nominees can be voted for. The Jovi Award categories are...
* Basically the best song that works live in concert ** Any song not on the standard version of the band's 13 studio albums or 2 major greatest hits albums (Bonus tracks and Burning Bridges song can be voted for). *** A specific part of a song that you love (studio recordings only). It could be a solo, a riff, a chorus, a bridge, and outro, in intro, a vocal delivery... I think you get the point VOTING RULES
And that's it! Your votes are not made public, but feel free to discuss your nominations in this thread. Remember, you only have 10 days to vote! This cannot be extended. voting for nominees has closed The final nominees will be announced once voting period ends. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! ----------------------- Nomination voting has closed and it is now time to vote a for a winner!! To see the final list of nominees, click here. voting for a winner has closed ----------------------- RESULTS Pending |
Cool idea. I did it.

I love this but most of my picks for 2000-2017 come from Burning Bridges, I wish it was considered a regular album :(
I have like 20 favorite outtakes and only 5 favorite released songs for that period, really hard to narrow down to 8 outtakes and even harder to find 8 good released songs. We don't have to fill in all the options right? |

What about a whole "Worst Of" awards? That was the easiest part! You could add worst lyrics, worst videos, worst albums... |

LOL @ the person who put "King of the Mountain" as 9 of their 10 votes in the "worst song" category. Still only counts as one vote! :lol: Some of my personal votes... Make a Memory is easily my favourite music video, especially when paired with its lyrics. I think New Years Day is by far the most visually beautiful, while LYHOM gets a vote from me for being the best concert music video. Bed of Roses, Letting You Go and Into the Echo (amongst others) have to get votes from me for best lyrics. And as for best song moments, gotta give a vote to the Raise Your Hands riff, the EPIC ending to My Guitar Lies Bleeding, the iconic key change in Prayer and the bridge/Jon's scream in IBTFY. |
My question for "best moment" - does it have to be from the recording or does the live-only stuff count too? E.g. Saturday Night improvisations before the last chorus.
I would also include more categories towards live shows, e.g. best gig (pre-2000 and post), best tour; as well as individual performances by Jon and Richie, e.g. best vocal song, best guitar solo. And I assume no "best album" nomination was because of the fact that we vote for it every few years? |

Savvi can you modify our votes?
I just realized I forgot to vote for Amen in the worst song category and it's my no.1 pick :o I've been trying to forget it ever existed very successfully it seems :mrgreen: |
Voted. Was fun and quite tough on some!!

Cheers to everyone who has voted! Obviously a lot of people don't read the rules and don't comment in the thread stating they have voted, but thanks to every one who has! :p

Done !
This was hard |
After just 30 hours of voting, there have been a ridiculous amount of votes. Check the break down below...
Only the top handful in each category will be nominated for the Jovi award. Some stiff competition! Eight and half days left to vote. Click here if you haven't already done so! |
Voted!:):):):)
|
I have voted what has come to my mind first. I think this way is easier and quicker than analyze it thoroughly. First ideas usually are the good ones.
|
The live part was the hardest to think of, because of the differences in eras. In These Arms on the HAND tour with Jon on the walkway was great. On later tours with Bobby's awful excuse for a solo, not so much.
There's no better moment than singing Livin On A Prayer live in a stadium, but it's hard to say the performance is stunning because it just isn't. Same with IML, great atmosphere and singalong, but I don't think they have done anything other than go through the motions with that song. |
Voted! That was quite fun!
|
That was tough, but great fun to really have to think about these selections!

That was tough!
Will we get to see all the choices that were mentioned three or more times? Just would appreciate to see more than just the top ones. I know, it would be work. But I'm curious... |

Please don't do the "mentioned 3 times" criteria. It would be too much nominees, considering we were given so many options to write. Just have Top 5 mentioned nominees for each category.
