Not good.

Ya, there's a full length video from the ceremony out there too. Unfortunately, Jon's voice is shot...getting too old and too much wear and tear on vocal chords that had problems way back in the NJ days.

I was JUST typing about this in the other thread and thought better of it... Then saw this post.
You're absolutely right. I watched the induction ceremony and them playing. Nice to see Richie there (where he belongs). "Take me to the C!" says JBJ just before "Bad Name" - no Jon, that was actually a B. Things were tuned down (which is his right, sure). His live approach to singing has been funky for years and now he's using his live vocal approach on the albums too. He had a really good voice at one time (Jersey/Slippery/Keep the Faith) but he completely changed his approach somewhere along the line and I don't think it's served him very well. Maybe due to damage, but the way he sings now can't be helping him. I'm hoping that he gets some help. If I recall correctly, he's got a coach. What he has now may be the best he can do at this point in his career. Such a shame that has to happen to singers.
(And now we cue up "Losing It" by Rush.)

He is shot. that was brutal, but as the link below shows he had some nice pipes
back in the day....
