Bon Jovi at the "Oprah House"

Bon Jovi performed abridged versions of "It's My Life" and "Livin' on a Prayer" for Oprah at the Sydney Opera House during her Australian specials, which went to air this week. The performance is nothing special, but I think we've come to expect somewhat anaemic performances from the band's TV appearances; Jon's voice isn't at it's best here either. In a sign that I probably need to get out more on Saturdays, I actually spent part of yesterday defending the Bon Jovi's live chops from someone whose daughter had only ever heard the Altiyan Childs version of "Livin' on a Prayer" and declared that Bon Jovi was lame on the basis of this performance. :P
