Jon Bon Jovi - It's Only Make Believe (Conway Twitty Cover / Los Angeles 1998)

[@myshatteredsoul1]

This is one of the best covers of this song I’ve ever heard. Harold Jenkins would be so proud.

[@catr8339]

Oh I heard this on Instagram yesterday. I love this song. Even though my heart is broken and I'm crying

[@Willie-ur1ef]

I was married 16 years I got my ex-wife with another guy

[@KJVAV1611]

OK, I must admit. When I first saw that Bon Jovi had covered it’s only make believe, I said this isn’t going to go well. Have a grown-up listening to both artist, and I just didn’t see John singing this song the way it should be sang. However I must say just like the comment below, I too am impressed. He was able to keep Conways concept of the song intact, while including his unique 80s voice that we all grew up loving great job!

[@dianeribchester4429]

Agree but Glen Campbell's version is pretty good!

[@dstevens518]

Respectable, but he doesn't have the voice to do this song justice. This is a pop song that The Three Tenors should have done for kicks.

[@phyllisgarber7997]

I have to admit that I don't think anyone else could have done it as well as bon Jovi. He impressed the heck out of me and being a eternal Conway fan, that wasn't easy to do

[@Peace-Evolution]

@@dianeribchester4429 I am a bit biased and think Glen Campbell's version is the best, simply by the way he makes the song climax together with his vocals

[@philiphammond8963]

Haven't heard Jon sing this before, LOVE it 💕💕

[@DonnaAbrams-qh7zt]

Conway will always own this song, but Jon did a great job with it.

[@branchtobranch5607]

I have to agree! 😊

[@gustaaf1892]

Opinions and tastes vary. For me it is the Glen Campbell version that stands out.

[@martinwelsford1353]

Only a singer can make this great song work. They say the version you heard first you think is the best.. Well that may be but this was one hell of a performance. Going to play it again.

[@LaSmoocherina]

I heard an Elvis version at some point and loved it.

[@LaSmoocherina]

@@CornwallGhosts - so strange. According to the internet, you’re correct. But my mom is an Elvis fanatic and I swear I can hear it in my head. Oh well, Mandela effect.

[@theghostlyone]

Carroll Baker held her own on this one as well.

I remember 1958 perfectly,yes,I’m that old! Lol. Beautiful rendition,beautiful voice,beautiful vibrato,beautiful control! Wherever Conway is I just know he’s very proud!👏🏽👏🏼👏🏻👏🏿💙

Great song and I will admit he did a great job, but Conway brings it to life. Nobody does it like Conway.

This is one of my fav songs mostly Conway Twitty and Elvis but Bon does it so very well

John did a great job here,but no one can imitate Conway

For a great cover listen to Glen Templeton.

[@elvisgirl7768]

Totally impressed!! Love his hair too! Would have love to have heard Elvis do this song as well as many other songs

Great job Jon

[@laineykleever2115]

Mmmm thats good ! Love Conway , and Jon did a great job on this song!!

[@charlottealverson1396]

Lainey Kleever Conway was a fav of mine until I was 14 and my dad took me to a rodeo in Sikeston MO to see him. We found his bus and as soon as the concert was over, I ran as hard and fast as I could to get to the bus before Conway. He came out, walked between the bus and fence where I was standing holding a piece of paper and pen asking for an autograph. I was the only person there, my family hadn’t caught up to me yet, and still Conway wouldn’t give me an autograph. I was a kid, but that was the end of my idolizing, or listening to, Conway. As an adult, I can make lots of excuses, rationalize, and justify why he didn’t stop to sign an autograph, but as a child, there was no excuse. He didn’t have time for me and I wasn’t going to spend time or money on him. I’m sure he never missed my $3 for his albums/45s.

[@laineykleever2115]

@@charlottealverson1396 Charlotte, sorry to hear about the disappointment. I would have felt the same way if it happened to me. I agree, you don't let children down. I hope you are on your bigger and better things now!

[@anthonymichaelhalloates2902]

Yea, most serious musicians and those with good taste in art, see bon jovi as kiddie music. Insipid, putrid, kiddie stuff. But this is actually a good cover of the Twitty classic. He doesn’t have the character Conway put into it, but jon seems to hit the notes pretty good.

[@easyenetwork2023]

Wanted: Dead or Alive is a good song. He wrote it too with his co-writer Richie Sambora who is his lead guitarist and co-writer.

[@anthonymichaelhalloates2902]

@@easyenetwork2023 yea, we know the song and we know Ritchie. But they’re still a glam hair kiddie band and Wanted is a putrid simple song. Funny that the song was used in a western era film yet he rides a steel horse (motorcycle).
