KING: We're back with Jon Bon Jovi. Again, in a little while he's going to be singing.
What do you think of "American Idol"?
BON JOVI: I've never seen the show and I know that a kid has a hit with "Wanted Dead or Alive," I know, on it but I've never seen the show.
Ultimately, what I believe in the show is that as artists, if any of these guys or girls are going to survive they have to just start writing their own stuff. So up until then they are just lounge singers.
KING: So you haven't seen any of the action?
BON JOVI: I've never, ever seen it. I've never seen it. And I'm not saying that as any sort of a slag towards the show because I think it's been incredible. The success, God bless them, happy they're even using my songs. I've just never seen it.

They showed a few "hot" pics of Chris and played a bit of his version of WDOA. It was a great moment, I feel for Chris. I hope that Bon Jovi gets to work/meet Chris someday...what a "hot" song that would be!!
