Is there any version of this song out there WITHOUT Olivia d'Abo singing on it? I don't care for her voice too much, but other than that I really love this version a lot. Wish it was just Jon.

No studio version available, though the live version from This Left Feels Right: Live is the closest you'll get to to a Jon-only version.

There is another version as a duet with a Russian artist called Alsou which was only played on Russian radio stations. (not included on the album) I haven't heard this version but a few people have said it's better than the Olivia d'Abo version... but that's not really saying much.

EDIT: Here's the Bon Jovi & Alsou version...

Livin' On A Prayer - Bon Jovi (Feat. Alsou) -...

It's definitely less offensive than the d'Abo version but still doesn't really do it for me.

"Prayer '94" still pisses over it.
