We know the famous rocker from his mega hit “Livin’ On A Prayer”, but there’s more to Jon Bon Jovi than meets the eye.

When asked if he still ascribes to the Catholic faith that he was raised in, the singer responded, “I think I find more strength in faith than I do in organized religion. ‘Living on a Prayer’ is most certainly nondenominational.”

But moving away from organized Catholicism hasn’t kept Bon Jovi from singing the highest praises: ‘Hallelujah’. He walked up to the mic to sing Leonard Cohen’s beautiful song “Hallelujah” and by the time he was finished I couldn’t contain myself. This is so beautiful!

“Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: “Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns.”” -Revelation 19:6

“Bon Jovi is no stranger to lending his support to Democratic candidates. In 2004, he appeared at several events for the Kerry-Edwards campaign and in 2008, Bon Jovi held a fundraiser for Obama at his home. The rocker also held a fundraiser for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to help clear up some of her presidential campaign debt and was a guest performer at an Obama Inauguration Concert.”

Nice job and song but since he was a huge bundler for the Al Gore and Obama campaigns, he Should have song an encore with Metallica’s Unforgiven.

[Wilderness Conservative]

Yep, I forgot about the Kerry Edwards nightmare and fund raisers for Hillary. Eff him!

[who knows what evil?]

A Catholic democrat? This is news? I was surrounded by them back in soviet Red Hampshire (home of the ‘Weed State Project’).

[Norm Lenhart]

He’s a hard leftist that has no issues with promoting hard leftism. His faith is money fame and access to the DNC.

Just shut it and sing, pretty boy.

[UMCRevMom@aol.com]

Thank you all for the information... I didn’t know Bon Jovi’s political ties to DNC

[CWCoop]

Any article that says “I Didn’t Expect” in the headline does not deserve to be clicked on. We need to END this idiot, childish, click-bait-style of headlining articles.

I’m sure you didn’t.

I do like his music though.

Here is Puddles singing, “Halleluyah,” by Leonard Cohen.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItXygU9SJCA

Lyrics:

Well, I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah...

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah...

Baby, I’ve been here before
I’ve seen this room and I’ve walked this floor (you know)
I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah...

There was a time when you let me know
What’s really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do ya?
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah...

Maybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it’s not a cry that you hear at night
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Leonard Cohen's song "Hallelujah" is NOT a religious song. The lyrics are certainly NOT praise for the God of the Bible, and Cohen never intended it to be.

Though there are several people who have rewritten very beautiful and moving religious lyrics to this music and sung them.... that is NOT what Bon Jovi sang. He sang Cohen's original version.

Here are Cohen's lyrics (in case you have never heard them):

Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her
She tied you To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

[Apple Pan Dowdy]

Does anyone actually believe those lyrics are praising the Lord?

[ROCKLOBSTER]

So, how does being a “Christian” square with being a RAT (thieves, liars, faggots and baby-killers)?

[definitelynotaliberal]

I’ve always wondered the exact same thing.

Hey, thats from Shrek.
