If you do a 360, you end up right where you started. Full circle...

Hehe, right, he should've said 180 But I agree, the changes are like night and day. I even thought about if Jon has ever been replaced at some point by someone looking a hell of a lot like him (like maybe a brother we don't know about). But I think that's only a good conspiracy theory, nothing more

I am actually crying with laughter reading this. The OP is spot on. That's how it sounds

"They say we gotta haad on (sometimes replaced by "haan aan") to what we've got..."

"Owww, weeaaffii deeaa... teemaahii, weemeekidaa sweehaa..." (the chorus of Prayer)

"I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ri-hi-hide, wanted dead or al-lyeeeve..." (sometimes replaced by "Haam a cowboy, on a STEELLOASE AYYAAD, wanted dead or hallaave...")

"Weewaasaayaa, wanfaraa enaafaawan, jadashaa azzarivaas gaanaaraan..." (the pre-chorus of BOB)

"Heedeeswandeen aahaad onto, degetsmee threyy deenaat, heengoona dowaadaa doonwaan to, haamgoona leemaa life..." (the chorus of HAND)

"Haawaauundee weeuuwee aabee, hoeewee UUUUUWEEDAAAAAN..." (the 2nd bridge of IBTFY)

"Haaneenoo needoos to be geeveemee a thrill, haaneenoo hanestesia hoo aanaas to bring a piil, haagaada duudaadaan addiction daadooseen leave a track, haagaada jones for your affection like a monkey on my back, deeheenoo paramedics daasee maahaad attack weeuunee..." (the 2nd verse of Bad Medicine)

"Heeweesteen saabaasaiiid, deezaa chance weegeebaiii, haanaanoo you'll live in maahaa (sometimes replaced by "maa-aa") teedeedee Iyyee diyyeee..." (the 2nd pre-chorus of BTBMB)

Any other examples?

This must be because he's so focused on hitting the right notes and singing "technically" right....right?

I think that's perhaps why, yes, but he achieves neither by this 'technique'.

Jon has no singing technique. He does everything you can think of wrong.

If he actually has any sort of singing technique (let alone good technique), he'd still be able to sing well (let alone like he did in the 90s).

I tend to agree that he has no singing technique judging by what I see, but it seems very unlikely that he wouldnt have hired professionals to help him in this, so I dont understand..

So true and sad. I don't know else to say because it's all so depressing. Oh do I wish he still had his voice and it pains me so much to feel that way.

Yup.

When I was younger I used to hate him for smoking. And I don't anymore. Because while smoking definitely played a part, it was his inability to learn a sustainable technique (instead of straining at the top of his range every time) that killed his voice long-term.

I'm hoping his lungs healed completely from the smoking. I'd hate to lose him due to lung cancer or COPD. I know this is dramatic but I've never seen the appeal in smoking because it can be deadly.
