Bon Jovi baffled by J.Lo success

05/03/2006 - 10:24:11

Bon Jovi frontman Jon Bon Jovi remains baffled by Jennifer Lopez's musical
success, because she can't play an instrument.

The Always rocker is grateful for the recent resurgence of rock, following
years of pop from manufactured acts who rely on teams of producers and
songwriters to create their number one hits.

He names the Play singer as the dominant culprit.

Bon Jovi rants: "It was so sickening to see some of these people - I've got
to say her name - like J.Lo, sitting at a piano in a video, thoughtfully
'writing' a lyric. I was so frustrated.

"I wanted to say to her: 'Hey J.Lo, here's my guitar honey. Sing me a song,'
and see what would happen.

"There's J.Lo having number one movies and albums and I'm thinking: "Who is
going to find the next Bob Dylan?'"

Scotius...

It won't be bon Jovi, I can tell you that much. He wrote and
sang nothing but "pop" himself. Show me ONE of his songs which would
be considered a "serious" rock song.
