What did Jon Bon Jovi really think of Blake's performance?

In an interview with “Entertainment Weekly,” Idol arranger and composer Michael Orland said he thought Blake’s version of “You Give Love a Bad Name” was great, but Jon Bon Jovi didn’t agree…

“I thought it was so genius I couldn't believe it. I was scared for him, though. I knew it could go either way, as we saw with Chris Sligh weeks ago. I was in the room watching Bon Jovi with him and Bon Jovi was not digging it at all. But I thought it was so incredible and respectful of Bon Jovi's version.”

At least Bon Jovi didn’t express that on camera…
