CBS has a poll set up for fans to vote on what song they would like to see Bon Jovi perform. The choices are quite standard, though it does seem odd that they don’t include any songs from The Circle. I would have expected that ‘We Weren’t Born to Follow’ would at least be one of the choices, since that’s the song that they’re nominated for.
I did see some speculation that the band might perform two songs. Personally, I don’t think that’s likely. If they were up for one of the big awards, I’d say that it was a possibility. But they’re nominated for “Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals”, which usually doesn’t seem to be one of the ones that gets discussed at work the morning after the Grammys.
Seeing as how I’m not much into pop music these days at all, I’ve never even heard the other nominated songs in this category. So, I have no way of making any kind of educated guess as to whether Jon and the boys stand even a remote chance of winning this award. (I suppose this illustrates how far Bon Jovi has strayed from their hard rock roots.) Lately the music industry has shown more willingness to hand out awards to Bon Jovi, so maybe there’s a chance. I suppose I need to wait and watch the awards to find out.
The bad part about this is that if Jon wins his first “real” Grammy for “We Weren’t Born to Follow”, we’re just going to get more songs just like it and the rest of The Circle.
