CRS (Country Radio Seminar) was this past week in Nashville, and sadly, I wasn’t able to make it this year. It’s an insane few days in Music City with all the Country artists and industry peeps, and I’ve been having major FOMO these past few days seeing all my radio friends’ posts about it on social media.
One of my favorite parts of CRS is the performances… and one that has been making the social media rounds these past 24 hours is Lainey Wilson’s performance of the Bon Jovi Classic “Livin’ on a Prayer”.
She did pretty dang good:

Not too shabby. That is a hard song to sing, especially with the octave jump at the end. I think the band got confused once or twice on where the notes were, but that’s ok. Pretty sure they were just having a good time, and that’s what it’s all about.
I used to sing in cover bands, and this was always a staple.
Don’t believe me?
Panama City 2010.
What a time to be alive:
I can’t even log into that YouTube channel anymore…
Oh well.
Anyhow, back to the subject at hand.
