Best comment:
You should know that Jon was never a good live singer when you go to Bon Jovi concerts. With 57 years you are surely going to hear that in some parts but his bad voice doesn't affect the great atmosphere in the stadium.

This journalist has no idea that Jon was a great live singer at least until the end of the 2011 tour.

Then how come the threads discussing the state of Jon's vocals can be traced back to the existence of this board (2002)?

I think the journalist knows better than you here. I think your definition of 'great' is different to most. I'd call up to 1996 'great' and up to 2011 'decent' (with some bad nights off, most notably 2003 and 2006).

You must be kidding. The ORF praises the concerts from Andreas Gabalier (a successful austrian musican, i have no idea what the english name for this type of music is) and how great he is but he can't even sing. Then they say Jon was never a great singer. That is ridiculous.

That was probably one of Jon's greatest vocal performances ever, as well as this:

I think it's fair to say that Jon never had a good singing technique. However his natural voice, and harmonies with Richie who had a very good technique, made up for it.

Great singer doesn't mean great technique...jon's best years technically have been 2008-2011

And have a great technique doesnt mean be a great singer
Jons best years techically could have been 08-11 but Jon was a better singer in 1991-1996

I get the feeling people are getting caught up in language. It's very fair to say that Jon sounded his best 91-96. But in terms of his singing technique he wasn't at his best there. The fact he could sound as decent as he did 2008-11 with fairly ruined pipes shows his technique there was pretty good.
