Bon Jovi - Welcome To Wherever You Are Single Review
Bon Jovi
"Welcome To Wherever You Are"
Mercury
30/01/06
Credit where it's due, to last 20 years in the music business you've got to consistently make music that many people enjoy. Since debuting with "7800 Degrees Fahrenheit" in 1985 they've released ten more albums, including last year's "Have A Nice Day", which peaked in the UK album chart a place shy of the top spot. The Jersey quartet have also been bestowed the honour of being the first band to play at the new Wembley Stadium, as part of their world tour in the summer.
Sharing its name with INXS' 1992 album, Bon Jovi's latest single is a mid-tempo blend of acoustic verses and massive pompous chorus designed to encourage arm swaying. The lyrics are painfully clichéd and predictable, pointing toward a band that are going through the motions and lacking in new ideas. It's safe to say that this won't stand the test of time along with "Always" and "Living On A Prayer".

I'm probably a lot older than many on this site, and have never been a Bon Jovi
fan (don't hurt me, OK?!). But I have to say, this CD, and in particular this
song, has struck a chord with me. I'm going through my second go-round with
breast cancer, and I find the song inspiring at a time when I really need to
understand why I'm doing it. To me, the entire CD sounds like he's finally
gotten to a place in his life where he feels comfortable in his own skin.
Maybe some day when our reviewer reaches this place, he'll *get it*, too.

63000 people at Milton Keynes on Sunday would dissagree with u on that one.
Bounce and Have a nice day got Two of the biggest cheers. And I didn't see
anyone not Bouncing during Bounce. But hay the criticts have always got things
wrong about Bon Jovi.
