I honestly can't believe we're going to see another little song win again... ugh.

Fine, if it's Latvia, I'll take it, but the Greeks? No way.

Jesus... Strava... predictable... boring as hell...

I swear, voting by neighborhood is such a joke...

I really hope Russia wins the hearts of people in Ukraine, especially when I hear them making all this noise over there...

Please, let's try to keep this conversation at a more civilized level...

Let's see then!!!

It feels like I’ve heard that one from the Cyprus Moldovan before 😕

The Moldovans were trying a bit too hard to channel the Red Hot Chili Peppers—it was in their look, a little bit in the sound, but mostly in the performance... the only thing truly original about them was the lady 😁

Jason Rogers said:Eeeee Binko, you actually made it through two whole posts without bringing up Bon Jovi. I was starting to get worried. 🙄

What am I supposed to do when the rip-off is this obvious?
I have to say! 😉 😁

And here come the Swiss women... they even copied that intro from Bon Jovi... 🙄

I have a feeling Russia is going to take first place...
And I have to admit, I actually like the song... Maybe it’s just the girl, who knows... Russia, Norway, Moldova, some vitamin D drama😁

Norway, Norway... Wing Wam!!!

Failed imitators 😁 Bon Jovi launched a total rock revolution from the late 80s... yeah, yeah... 🙏

The Swiss performers basically ripped off half the song from Bon Jovi too😛
Silent Night... 🙂

The Moldovans have a cocktail, man... seriously. 🙏

Man, there’s absolutely nothing about the Norwegian entry that sounds even remotely like Bon Jovi or You Give Love a Bad Name. It might have a tiny hint of a resemblance, but that’s about it...

Still, I guess being failed imitators of two rock legends—Bon Jovi and KISS (at least visually)—makes them the best of the bunch... 😁 😁 😁 🙏 🙏

Jesus, what a mess...

The Norwegians are the best!!! 😬 🙂 😂

I was scrolling through the lists and ended up on this thread, where we started arguing... but honestly, I'm not a fan of this direction. 😠

Look, I’m not trying to suggest anything to anyone, nor have I ever trashed a band... I just praise the ones I actually listen to.

But now I really have to say something. 🙂

Why aren't you dead?

I got the letter you left under my door
Knocked me on my ass to the floor
Never knew two words could take such a bite
It said, "Dear Jon, Hello. Goodbye."
I saw your car parked outside Motel Cascade
motel casci Saw Two shadows go to town on The shade i can't believe my own lyin
I can't believe my own lyin' eyes, oh my
It better be your girlfriend I saw going down some other guy
You told me you loved me, 'til death do us part
So tell me there's a tombstone where there used to be a heart

Chorus: You said you couldn't live without me
So why aren't you dead?
Instead of six feet under you're in someone else's bed
There's just one thing that I can't get through my head
You said you couldn't live without me so why aren't you dead?

I cut your face out of our old photographs
and All The junk you left behind's in The trash Well
Well, I hoped you were a goner for sure
Well, there's been a resurrection, yeah, a miracle cure

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
If you can't trust the livin' baby who can you trust?

Chorus: You said you couldn't live without me
So why aren't you dead?
Instead of six feet under you're in someone else's bed
There's just one thing that I can't get through my head
You said you couldn't live without me so why aren't you dead?

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
If you can't trust the livin' baby who can you trust?

Chorus: You said you couldn't live without me
So why aren't you dead?
Instead of six feet under you're in someone else's bed
There's just one thing that I can't get through my head
You said you couldn't live without me baby, so why aren't you dead?

You said you couldn't live with out me, what a surprise!
Instead of laying you out I'm laying down on the line

You spend my hard-earned money, you left me in the red
You said you couldn't live without me…. so why aren't you dead?
Why aren't you dead?
Why aren't you dead?

Steven Green2 said:Don't get me wrong... when I say I've studied them, I mean back in the day I was actually a "fan," so to speak. I basically listened to those Bon Jovi albums from start to finish—and by that, I mean the band, since they're called Bon Jovi, not just the singer John Bon Jovi or whatever his actual name is! I knew every single note of every song. Of course, I was young and naive back then; I hadn't really experienced much of anything yet.

See, that’s exactly where you're right. Richie is one of the best guitarists of all time?! Man, I’ve been playing guitar for seven years now, and I think I have a decent sense of what's difficult, what's easy, and who actually knows how to play versus who doesn't. I'm not saying he's bad, but he isn't even in the conversation when you're talking about the absolute best.

And what does their personal lives have to do with the music? I honestly don't care about their private lives or what kind of people they are. I only care about the music, and that's the only metric I use to judge them.

I'm not just making this up on the fly; a few years of listening to and being obsessed with Bon Jovi gives me enough ground to write about something I actually know.

But hey, like I said, there's no accounting for taste! 🙂

Alright, fine... I'm not trying to force my opinion on anyone... it's just how I feel. But I do care about the people behind the songs, because if someone writes about how much they suffered after a breakup (Bed of Roses) while they're actually seeing ten other people on the side, then something feels off... doesn't it?

It matters to me when he says:
Jesus, How Can I believe...
If I don't believe in heroin, how can I believe the dope
If there's nothing but survival, how can I believe in sin
In a world that gives you nothing, we need something to believe in.

Again... I'm not obsessed... I mean, if following a couple of bands and wanting to know a lot about them makes me "obsessed"... what then? Should I be listening to some local indie station all day?

I didn't just make up the praise for Richie; the legends themselves did.
At the very least, Richie is the one who brought acoustic guitars back to life.
