I was singing along as I always do with those great Journey oldies. My brother turns the radio down and says "You know they got a new lead singer for the band." Since I absolutely love Steve Perry's voice, and I was unaware that he had left the group, I immediately said "Oh hell no, they can't replace Steve, the band isn't going to last, fans don't like change!" Then my brother says "This is the new guy singing." I couldn't believe it. I didn't notice the difference in their voices until I stopped to really listen and even still, it is soooooo close that no appreciation for the music is lost.

But for journey he is not the right fit. My biggest complaint is you can here the Asian accent when he is singing some of the songs and te pronuceation of some words is off. That being said it really throws off the original Journey sound. Other than that the guy can really sing. He would be good in a karoke bar or a cover band not the real band. If it wasnt for the accent he would be a perfect fit, but there is nothing he can do about that now is there. Look the guy is good he can sing a ton. But for journey he is not the right fit.

I was very impressed. Still not the same without SP no matter how you slice it. No doubt the new guy can sing and cover all the tunes and the best replacement so far IMO. SP brought song writing to the table and ability to write those hooks we all love. It is more than singing alone and let's see what this new guy brings to the table. I'm hoping for new and fresh songs that are a hit today. New album is doing well thus far which is a great start! Still to me, Journey is SP. Without him before success, they did not go far, and without him after success they have not gone far. New album at least brings hope. Watched the new Journey on VH-1 Classic this past weekend.

The album also took several top positions in other categories (even #1 in rock indie) on its debut week. It proves something very clear about AP's role in keeping the Journey legacy alive.

He can easily sing, sounding like my fave lead singer of all times, SP. Just got the new Revelation CD today..fair priced at Walmart, includes two CDs and a DVD of one of their concerts. Been going down memory lane here and thankful for Arnel and Journey puttin it out there!

This guy is awesome...he can sing almost everything. Imitator? Give me a break. A guy that can sing aerosmith, styx, led zep, air suppy and heart????lol. Listen to the song on youtube " the search is over" by survivor under zoobandrocks. This guy is kind of drunk and it's his last song and belted it out like it's nothing. I don't think SP can imitate those songs.I already bought six ticket for the July 16th concert here in Los Angeles.Where is SP anyway??? I watch BON JOVI live on VIP suite at Staples Center...They don't sound that good no more. I'll pay double to see Journey anytime. :) :) :) I agree with Sal.

The way Arnel sings sends chills down my back , he is totally awesome , (and this from a Steve Perry follower )and I fully support him , and the band in there decision . Sana nasa mabuti kang kalagayan Arnel , and mabuhay !!!
