Bounce + Orchestra
 

I'm literally speechless.

I wish Jon could sing like that.

I filmed the whole show if you want to check it out ;)

Wow, thanks for that ! What a treat that must have been.

There's something about his voice that I don't like. Maybe it's that he's not Jon...

Wish Jon could sign like in the 90's or at least like in '98. ****, that man used to REALLY sing and now he can't even hit the notes.

If you need the full show on audio let me know :). I've recorded the whole thing back then.

He's got more of a poppunkish or even sleaze rockish squawk to him than a soulful rasp. But that's the tone of his voice - the performance itself is stellar. (Although I'm not a huge fan of the whole orchestra-thing.)

I agree with this. Don't get me wrong, if they were playing locally, I'd go in a second but as far as a Jovi replacement, it's just not there.

Musically, they are brilliant and the lead singer has a great voice but that's where it ends. He sounds nothing like Jon nor does he deliver a song like Jon. I think he would be great in a My Chemical Romance cover band instead.

Trying to be the perfect Jon is like trying to be the perfect Elvis. The worst thing about being a Jovi fan is, you'll never find that perfect cover band. There are too many factors that can't be replicated.

Jon makes it seem like what he does, look effortless. His movement and stage antics work for his personality and when other people try and copy him, it just seems awkward. Jon also has distinguished good looks and even if someone has the chops, they have to have the look as well or it just won't work either. Finally, the delivery has to be there.

I don't think he's trying to imitate Jon though,thats what makes it better for me. Ive seen a couple of tribute acts in the UK who try too hard to be like JBJ,one even kept apologising for trying the American accent,and the guitarist wearing a stupid wig to try and look like RS. I prefer to hear someones own take on the songs rather than just plain copy everything.

In that regard, I agree 100 percent...

The singer is amazing. Pound-for-pound he's better than Jon ever was vocally. Obviously, Jon was great in the 90s, but his highest notes were never that effortless. I love watching certain performances from Bounce, because with some songs he reaches potential that Jon achieved in studio, but was never able to replicate live. Livin' On a Prayer, Keep The Faith, Something To Believe In, In These Arms, Have A Nice Day, and a few others are good examples of that.

The only negatives are the singer's German accent and the rest of the band's mediocrity.

Still it's a shame they never done shows outside of Germany. Would've loved to see them in the Netherlands.
