Both this kid and Jimi have great voices. Where he fall shorts and what places Jimi in a world his own is how Jimi makes you feel and believe each word in the songs he sang. I appreciate and respect this kid for his talent but Jimi was so special and moved many hearts and souls as we grew through the 80s. Truely missed
The issue is not that "the kid" can't sing, he is quite good, but Jamie had a talent of being able to sing with an incredibly emotive quality so that you actually felt the words of the song....It's like when Peter Cetera left Chicago or Steve Perry left Journey...yes these guys can sing, but it is not as emotive as the original singer....
There’s simply singing a song versus being “inside” a song where the stakes are high and personal and that feeling is conveyed in the tone. Very few singers can effectively pull that off…Jamison, Mercury, Stewart and Perry are a few who can do that with conviction.
Frankie wanted to revive the Jimi that joined Survivor! I see that this boy has the same length and color hair as Jimi when he joined Survivor! He is also handsome, just like Jimi was, but I am sorry to tell Frankie that he will never have another Jimi. He was one of a kind.
Jimi isn’t here anymore. And he will not be forgotten. But this guy is a great singer!! If this we’re to be a new, starting out, band we would all be saying how amazing of a frontman this guy is. That’s the reality.
Jimi was like Steve Perry of Journey, one of a kind. That said Cameron as the voice, a few years touring on his back and he'll be awesome. Big boots to fill, but give the guy a chance!
Yeah, He's got that smoothness and Jimi's voicing "timbre". Ill bet it gets thicker /w more depth as He ages soundin more "jimi-ish". Ill be curious to hear this in 20 yrs.Frankie and I will be in our 80s... YIKES!..LOL
I agree. He's a kid and it sounds pretty damn good. Jimi wasn't Dave and this kid isn't Jimi but they all have similar vocal qualities that work for this material. I hate to say it but Jimi wouldn't sound this good today.
Of course, but the kid is ok... the problem is the lead guitarist... this is the 4th video I watch... he keeps messing up left and right... it looks like he has some issues...!!
If the kid knew any better he'd steer clear of Frankie and band. Why play with them? Frankie must a nightmare to be in a band with. No way I'd survive without trying to take Frankies head off every night.
The singer definitely has a voice/range. He’s young, give him time. He’s still new at this. It will all fall in place within time. Jami would want this band to continue on with out him. Keep in mind a singer can always be replaced, not their music. As long as they stick to his legacy, they will sell shows. For what it’s worth......I’m sure Jami is smiling down on these guy’s for continuing where he left off. They’re all Survivors!
Peterik had the right vision for survivor and Jamison was the expressive singer with an outstanding voice. When a band looses such 2 important members there is only one solution (MHO): To end up the band to honour their past. Nowadays there are only the survivor-logo and JS left. Far too less to keep the old spirit alive. For me, this band-version is a joke that will never come near to the old days....
It lost more than two members. The only guy from their 80s lineup is Frankie Sullivan. Marc Droubay left in 1988 I think. Stephan Ellis left in 1987 due to illness, Jimi and Jim left because Frankie is a douche.
He just doesn’t have that breadth of depth and emotive tone that Jimi had. He’s a bit pitchy. Seems like a good kid, great singer, but not a good fit for these songs. Sullivan’s guitar work is so sloppy and muddy these days. Ugh! Hang it up guys.
I give the new cat praise and good fortune but aren't we so glad we had David Beckel and Jimi Jamison from the 80's 1st. There will be no other Substitutes.
🔵 It sounds to me like the kid's being stepped-on BADLY!.... seems to be the norm in almost every concert I've seen with him singing,...kudos to him for keeping his timing and his bearing, quite hard to do with all the inconsiderate-wailing from the guitar.
Maybe we will accept that Survivor band transfers to more like Chicago band style. The kid has his own unique great voice. He 's just a kid , normal to perform like a kid, even like an idol singer. Give him more time. Life experiences will make him perform more naturally, I believe. Allow the kid walk his own way. Maybe let him get some interviews, tell his own stories. Tell everyone why and how he likes Survivor and how m any efforts he has put to perform Survivor on stage. The more we get to know a man , the better we'll like him
Great work! Jimi channeled Dave in many ways as was required for a flawless singer transition (both so talented) and this singer is doing a great job of carrying on a tough job. Honestly he's better than the band .
What you say is not true! Jimi was never inspired by any Dave to sing, a complete lie, Jimi had the most beautiful voice! And he sang with his own voice without thinking about anyone else's voice!
Buena voz del muchacho y respeta la entonación y lo que hizo su antecesor en el grupo !!! Bien por SUVIVOR que está presente en este tiempo de música tan mala 😢. Sin duda que los cincuentones seguimos escuchándolo !👉
Cameron Barton é um excelente vocalista, as músicas soam muito bem cantadas por ele. Além disso, possui algo que os demais vocalistas da banda não possuíam: carisma. O cara interage com a plateia e sorri bastante, isso é muito bom.
Although Jimi didn’t perform this song at Firefest 2010 he pperformed with H.E.A.T. and a true guitar legend Tommy Denander. Google Firefest 2010 Jimis performance has been said to be the best in its history. I watch it everyday Tommy is a great guy and so exceptional that Frankie is not fit to carry Tommy’s guitar pick
Pressing the guy in front of the public is a very wrong way of doing things. I'm sorry that Frankie was so disrespectful! And talking bad about the new singer won't bring the old one back ... Cameron is good! Good voice and interpretations. And it's not his fault that Jamison have left us...
DBG at 2:13 Frankie grabs and shoves the kid to engage with the fans out front-it looked very awkward! I’m a guitar player myself and I think with the amount of chords and notes Frankie is botching on the guitar -coupled with this behavior--some sort of substance(s) be involved--just a gut feeling-I hope not...
new singer got a good bollocking from the demented lookin frankie.... for being too timid I guess....JEEZ...... what a thankless gig for him..Frankie hitting a fair few bum notes too... he played like an angry old git !! singer way too young to have gained any real stage prescence!!
I read a bunch of the comments to conclude only Frankie Sullivan, on guitar, is left from the original Survivor. What happened to the other original band members?
Do you have internet? Why you ask such stupid question? You can easy find any information there. I live in Ukraine and being a fan only a month I KNOW ALMOST EVERYTHING ABOUT THE BAND!!!
@@leyla.007 The purpose of social media is _not_ to use Google. Google is not the end all of information. My question is valid and for a fan. You are a cupid stunt.
@@JalanBipau883 well, Jimi was the original singer so there is the nostalgia associated with him, BUT...the kid sings great and since Jimi COMMITED SUICIDE this is what you got, so deal with it.
Yup. This is putrid. I think the worst part about this band is Frankie because he was playing like shit. They should kick him out and call themselves "Survived."
"Eye of the Survivor" is my new name for them Might as well be a tribute band Now that Bickler quit and peterick is gone. Jimi had the vocals on all those hits. Give it a rest guys!!!
The notes are there but the feelin ain’t. He’s a hired gun doin his jobs, but the songs aren’t personal and you can tell it in the tone. Few guys can fill in where one singer left. You either do something new cus you’re that good, or you just sing the notes and do as you’re told. Jimis shoes are hard to fill. Might as well have been Steve Perry’s.
Cameron did a decent cover. I guess on some level I can give Frankie Sullivan a pass, he is trying to keep some of the greatest music produced in the 80s alive but with that being said.... Jimi Jamison forever!
Gotta admit the kid is a super singer filling some big shoes. Effortless vocals. Of course, he doesn't have the mileage on those pipes. The thing I want to get to is what a high very good voice Sullivan has. Listen up. It's pretty darn good too! Aside from that, the name should be changed. Survivor Frankie Sullivan's band.
Both this kid and Jimi have great voices. Where he fall shorts and what places Jimi in a world his own is how Jimi makes you feel and believe each word in the songs he sang. I appreciate and respect this kid for his talent but Jimi was so special and moved many hearts and souls as we grew through the 80s. Truely missed
The good old days of survivor are over. The voice of Jim fills every survivor song. He has sing with heart.
The issue is not that "the kid" can't sing, he is quite good, but Jamie had a talent of being able to sing with an incredibly emotive quality so that you actually felt the words of the song....It's like when Peter Cetera left Chicago or Steve Perry left Journey...yes these guys can sing, but it is not as emotive as the original singer....
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
But then you would say he was emulating Jimi… he was hired for a reason
There’s simply singing a song versus being “inside” a song where the stakes are high and personal and that feeling is conveyed in the tone. Very few singers can effectively pull that off…Jamison, Mercury, Stewart and Perry are a few who can do that with conviction.

Why dont u audition for the lead singer!
@@tedhausermann7172 why don’t you re-read my comment and then make a sensible remark? I said he has a voice and to give him time to settle in etc
Nobody is Jimi for sure, but the kid has potential. Give him a chance!
each time i hear him . he sounds better
Boy has a great voice!
He's a great singer
Yeah, He's got that smoothness and Jimi's voicing "timbre". Ill bet it gets thicker /w more depth as He ages soundin more "jimi-ish". Ill be curious to hear this in 20 yrs.Frankie and I will be in our 80s... YIKES!..LOL

Amen

Enough comparing. He's already gone. May he rest in peace. Why don't you just agree thag he's a good singer too. He actually nailed it.
YEAH, THE KID IS NOT STUPID. HE WONT COMMIT SUICIDE LIKE STUPID JAMI JAMISON.
The singer definitely has a voice/range. He’s young, give him time. He’s still new at this. It will all fall in place within time. Jami would want this band to continue on with out him.

Well said!!!!! Cameron is very good.
Excellence voice Cameron , thanks you for continuing legacy of survivor and Jimi Jaimison, the best music .
very good but jimmi sang this one with heart
Hard to replace a legend; but the kid does a great job, he needs to create his own aura. 👏🏼
I've been a Survivor fan since 1981 and I keep coming back to hear this boy. He's adorable and a really good singer.
Awesome job, one of the best covers I've heard.
I always felt that way about stone temple pilots but sometimes you have to give them a chance and be grateful that the music lives on!
Frankie on guitar doing his best C.C. DeVille impersonation during this whole concert.
I expected nothing, but got a lot! Vital Signs was my first SURVIVOR Album in the 80s ! Great Job , Boy !
I met Jimi twice, Really Nice Guy, RIP Jimi.

At present there's still 4 of the 5 guys alive that recorded Eye Of The Tiger, Caught In The Game etc yet this is what constitutes "Survivor" now.
Great voice! Hard to replace Jimi, but this guy can sing too.
NOT REALLY- VERY MEDIOCRE VOICE. THERE'S NO COMPARISON TO JIMI .
He just doesn’t have that breadth of depth and emotive tone that Jimi had. He’s a bit pitchy. Seems like a good kid, great singer, but not a good fit for these songs. Sullivan’s guitar work is so sloppy and muddy these days. Ugh! Hang it up guys.

this singer is amazing and im impressed with his accuracy of notes. this singer burns the flame that jimi started.
Anyone who knows anything about music knows this kid can sing. The problem, frankly, and sad to say, is the band.
True and correct!👍
I'm with you. He has a great voice but the band.... 👎
🔵 It sounds to me like the kid's being stepped-on BADLY!.... seems to be the norm in almost every concert I've seen with him singing,...kudos to him for keeping his timing and his bearing, quite hard to do with all the inconsiderate-wailing from the guitar.
He can sing but can't peform. There is a difference. HUGE difference.
Maybe we will accept that Survivor band transfers to more like Chicago band style. The kid has his own unique great voice.

Give this guy a chance. He has a good vocal range to sing this songs from survivor . Jimi had a unbelievable voice and it is hard to sing like Jimi.
He is good for his age. Has potential. Nobody will ever replace Jimi.
Might help if Frankie quit missing notes. After 35 years you would think he could play it left handed, upside down and behind his back.
Dang. 😆😆😆
🤣🤣
Oh he's awful now
Too muddy and sloppy. Overplays.
Coke is a hell of a drug
Great work! Jimi channeled Dave in many ways as was required for a flawless singer transition (both so talented) and this singer is doing a great job of carrying on a tough job. Honestly he's better than the band .

He is doing great, I just love survivor with the old integrants. I recently saw Dave on Icons of Classic Rock, he is just amazing!!!! ❤
Good rendition. RIP Jimi
Frankie is hammered as usual...
where is dave bickler??????????????
How the hell does Frankie still do those high high harmonies!!!
Jimi will never be forgotten
The X factor... the emotions and feelings is not in this song. Jimi nails it. RIP Jimi
FRANKIE STILL ROCKIN' AND STILLL MISS JIMI'S JAM
Always love this song
NOBODY CAN REPLACE THE ORIGINAL ONLY DO YOUR BEST TO CARRY ON THE LEGACY...
A reasonable comment. Lots of controversy here on the matter...
Buena voz del muchacho y respeta la entonación y lo que hizo su antecesor en el grupo !!! Bien por SUVIVOR que está presente en este tiempo de música tan mala 😢. Sin duda que los cincuentones seguimos escuchándolo !👉
Pretty damn incredible!
How many singers were part of survivor before!!!
I'm watching this in 2023. Is Cameron Barton still Survivor's lead vocalist?
Kid has a great voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sullivan 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Great singer! Good job!!!!
Cameron Barton é um excelente vocalista, as músicas soam muito bem cantadas por ele. Além disso, possui algo que os demais vocalistas da banda não possuíam: carisma. O cara interage com a plateia e sorri bastante, isso é muito bom.

How many people were there?
Amazing!!!!
Sounds great...but the anointing is not there..thats what made Jimi so great...you felt it ...its talent but something special God gives you✌
I completely agree that nobody can sing this like Jimi, but the kid is good though....
Very good! The promissor young
It is like Pride of Lions doing Survivor stuff...
The kid has heart and a lot of guts to try and fill Jimi's shoes. I wish him nothing but the best, great job kid!
Fine job young man,,,,,,,

This guy has a voice I like him, but I miss Jimmy his voice was one of a kind.. good luck Cameron
This kid is a tremendous vocalist though, I get all the talk of "he's not Jimi" but man, he's really effin good
Poor Ftankie Sullivan.
#onedesperateman
wow he's good!!!
The kid is good but Jimi Jamison voice was awesome
he surprised me
Awesome
Beeeeuuuutiful!!!!!!@
I think Mr. Barton sounds pretty Good!
He is good but Jimi were way better than him.
Jimi was way better than everybody
No wonder there's no one who can play like Frankie.
I think Jimi would be proud. The kid is good 👍
34 people wished they’d have turned up cameron’s vocals
new singer got a good bollocking from the demented lookin frankie.... for being too timid I guess....JEEZ...... what a thankless gig for him..Frankie hitting a fair few bum notes too... he played like an angry old git !! singer way too young to have gained any real stage prescence!!

Didn't play Burning Heart at this concert. Frankie acted annoyed all concert. Cameron put on a great show though
The singer is the best performer here.
Sullivan faks up quite a lot of his leads/riffs
Very thin background vocals as well
Es identico
Gran guitarrista frankie sullivan
The new singer is Very capable! Give him his chance.

Jimi Jamison committed suicide. Get over it
@@MrBeen992 WHERE DID YOU GET THAT INFORMATION ABOUT JIMI???
Without Jimi not Survivor
Excelente voz
This band should rename themselves Casualty instead of Survivor to reflect the big revolving door of people. This band should retire.
The kid is actually pretty good. What happened to Frankie ? WOW !
I saw survivor last night in Detroit and this kid sounds great. I think Jimi would approve
Jeffrey Marc Yes, I totally agree with you.
Lil pitchy. I would do it with the spirit of Jimi and some grittt
"Eye of the Survivor" is my new name for them
Might as well be a tribute band
Now that Bickler quit and peterick is gone.
Jimi had the vocals on all those hits.
Give it a rest guys!!!
Give way to new generation...if only this kid singing here was your kid...
The notes are there but the feelin ain’t. He’s a hired gun doin his jobs, but the songs aren’t personal and you can tell it in the tone. Few guys can fill in where one singer left. You either do something new cus you’re that good, or you just sing the notes and do as you’re told. Jimis shoes are hard to fill. Might as well have been Steve Perry’s.
Wow he's impressive !
Man I miss Jimmi
Jimi was unique. But this is is a nice . He 's got a way to go
Only one Jimi but I think he did great
wheres Jim Peterik?
He doesn't do anything with them anymore. Frankie Sullivan is the only original left.
I just wish what should’ve survived Survivor had actually survived
Cameron did a decent cover. I guess on some level I can give Frankie Sullivan a pass, he is trying to keep some of the greatest music produced in the 80s alive but with that being said.... Jimi Jamison forever!
Great job but nothing beats the original: the late, the great, Jimi Jameson.
Gotta admit the kid is a super singer filling some big shoes. Effortless vocals. Of course, he doesn't have the mileage on those pipes.
The thing I want to get to is what a high very good voice Sullivan has. Listen up. It's pretty darn good too!
Aside from that, the name should be changed. Survivor Frankie Sullivan's band.
