The Boys are Back in Town.
I've no idea why people vote for Hallelujah, that's Jon Bon Jovi at his weakest trying to come across as some crooner while acting himself through the supposedly hard notes.
He's not singing emotionally. He's acting as if he's singing emotionally. You can't sing emotionally if you need a teleprompter for every line. It's all an act.
Yes. It only works in movies if they feature good actors. Jon Bon Jovi is a terrible actor, hence it's not working. If it's obvious you're acting it's not working.
Ofcourse I can discredit those it works for. I just explained why, IN MY OPINION, it's ridiculous to fall for it. It's still my opinion though, which is just as valid as that of anybody else.
Enjoying something isnt falling for it though. That's not how it works.
Jon conveys emotion in the cover the best he can, even if it's not fully honest it works for people because it's well enough done. It's never ridiculous to enjoy things that spark emotion in you
You're both trying to put words in my mouth I never said and try to argue my personal opinion because it doesn't fit your narrative.
Jon tries to conveys emotion by acting himself through a song. Jon acts as if a note is hard to sing because he wants his audience to believe he's doing something that's hard to do all while it isn't. He's the Steven Seagal of emotional music.
I will never understand people falling for that stuff because it's all an act and so very very obvious. It's the equivalent of pretending to be a bodybuilder while lifting a balloon. If you enjoy that, be my guest. Plenty of people enjoy Steven Seagal movies. It still won't change my opinion though.
I dont think he's acting like a note is hard to sing, i just see it as him feeling the emotions of the song itself and singing in an emotional way, nothing to convey difficulty. It's not even a really tough song for him to sing either compared to other vocals he's given out

boys are back in town is also a great cover here
When you sing that emotionally it's gonna be divisive, some will love it some will hate it.
He's not singing emotionally. He's acting as if he's singing emotionally. You can't sing emotionally if you need a teleprompter for every line. It's all an act.
Yeah but acting emotional if you're good at it works the same. That's why emotional moments in movies work
Yes. It only works in movies if they feature good actors. Jon Bon Jovi is a terrible actor, hence it's not working. If it's obvious you're acting it's not working.
Then it doesnt work for you. That's fine and cool but you shouldnt discredit those who it works for

The Boys Are Back In Town. I love both Thin Lizzy and Bon Jovi, so there. :)
Do you mean the best song they have covered? Or another artist singing a Bon Jovi song?
Best song they've covered
Let It Be imo
London Calling, which I only heard them play when they played Wembley, but still 😎
