He is not Steve Perry, his name is Arnel Pineda obviously they are not the same. But he is the only one can sing Journey and nobody else that's why they selected him. Filipinos are very talented. Shout out to Filipinos!!!
Yes you are right! So many vocalist tried to filled-in the place of Sreve Perry, but only Arnel Pineda is so identical to the voice of Steve. Yes it is true. So many Filipinos talents are very excellent in singing career, but mostly they only discovered in local shows.
Arnel is there nót to replace the orignal lead singer he was there to continue the legacy of famous band Journey ofcourse im realy proud of arnel not only because im a filipino,and god gave him a beatiful vóice not only to continue the lost voice of steve perry he was there to see the whole world that filipino's are very talented when it comes music,
Arnel Pineda is the perfect rags to riches story. He comes from living on the street in the Phillapeans would eat off the ground. And no he is not a karaoke singer as an earlier comment says. HE did take singing lessons up til he become homeless at 13 when his mother died. There would be days when living on the streets he would go without food. He did eventually end up in a simple band that was going nowhere as at that time such an opportunity did not exist in the Phils. A UA-cam video of the band playing was found by the band which was seeking a new lead singer. As for the comparison to Steve Perry, the original singer at the same age Arnel is at the time of the concert you viewed Perry could not hold the same notes at the same level anymore. That being said to be fair it is well known that Human desire for those who come from having little and hunger many times in their life tend to be able to get extra efforts to help them with longevity on tasks that means survival. IN this if Arnel was to come from a country with the spoils of that like the west it is hard to say if he also would at his age be able to hold notes as long as he does. Yes he is extremely talented on the singing front but also in some ways him not being a native English speaker and learning to sing English magnifies ones ability to tone in tighter on the vowel sounds as opposed to someone that is native to the langue. The real test now can he write music to his voice as Steve Perry has. Voice-wise they are pretty much the same but Arnel is able to hold notes longer without struggling (But life situation motivations helped that along). In the end, it takes the two elements, not just the singing. (Writing songs to match the voice and also Singing them) But his rags to riches story is worth so much more.
Steve Perry = "THE VOICE" . . . his nickname throughout the music industry. -- doesn't matter the style. Brad Delp (RIP), of BOSTON was on the same level, but could get quite a bit higher in key. From about 76 - 83, was the "High Energy" era of ROCK -- high pitched voices -- and it was very successful. Then came, Def Leppard, in 83 with, Pyromania, and almost every new band tried to sound like them. If you wanna here some real ROCK n ROLL of the early 80's Die Hard The Hunter Paste that, and ENJOY 😍
Journey was dead until Arnel joined and the rest is history. The world from Brazil to the Asian Pacific, Europe and U.S. all embraced Arnel not as a replacement for Steve but with his own style, feelings & energy one can clearly see in his performances. He has revitalized this band for the old legacy crowd to the new fans that have joined to celebrate Journey once again!
Arnel is great, but he's no Steve Perry. Arnel was chosen because he could emulate Perry's voice, and he does a great job. But Perry is not called the " Voice " for no reason. Perry is the best.
@@thomasrocker7408 whatever title you call perry, the reality is, he is nowhere to be seen nor heard singing anymore . Journey band is happy w/their choice of new singer, Arnel that brought them back to sold out concerts and tours. They have shared their talents in person to their fans, not just on record.
your right... without arnel journey can't rise again... just like the Foreigner without lou gramm.. the band is nothing... they cannot replace the voice of lou...
Steve Perry is SP. Arnel Pineda is AP. No need to compare. They have their own style and way of singing. No need to bash. At least I am adoring these 2 singers. They are both gifted. And God give them individual talents. No one is perfect . But both singers SP and AP are awesome. Salute. And thank you for inspiring people like me with your musics many many years and until many many years more to come
!00% agree they both are different singers and have their own style. SP had his era, AP is in his own era now and killing it!! While I like SP, AP moves me to tears when I hear his version of this song. No one can say he doesn't put his heart into the songs he sings night after night in concerts. Imagine the strain on the voice. I appreciate your comment.
Too much hate in these comments. Thank you Arnel for keeping the sound alive, which btw Perry has officially been gone since 1998. It's the best thing to happen to the band as it's expanded it's fan base into Asia b/c of Arnel Pineda. If you want to listen to strict Perry flavored Journey, better pull out your cassettes lol the band is more than just Perry. Thumbs down to the critics >:-(
This is being sung by Arnel Pineda who took over for Stevie Perry, with his blessing. There is quite a story that goes with this, that would be interesting for you to read about. They tell the story much better than me. Arnel is from the Philippines the land of all the best singers in the world!!! One of the best rock ballads ever written. Arnel has one of the best voices, but more importantly is his presence. Small of stature, with an out-sized voice as is his presence. I never thought Journey could ever replace Stevie Perry who to me had the perfect rock ballad voice of all-time. I was gratefully wrong as Arnel has certainly done that. You should look up a version that has Stevie Perry singing this, I think you will be surprised at how good he is, and how close Arnel is to him in his vocals. I love both versions of this song, and i think you will too. Until the next time.
This reaction is the Best!!! You are a great listener I've ever watch!!! Same reaction here I love Arnel Pineda so damn much he is frickin Amazing! Phenomenal Singer THE BEST VOCAL!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼♥️♥️♥️
You can tell who the haters are and who are the ones that are happy to be hearing these songs some 30 Years + Later And Steve himself is happy that Arnel is singing his heart out on the songs Steve wrote with Journey. I love the classics, I love where they are, I love where they're going. They can't last forever, but for an evening, it's still such a fun, fun ride. THANK YOU FOR YOUR OWN HONEST ASSESSMENT ON THIS SONG WITH THIS LINEUP.
How can Steve the original singer on this song that sold millions and millions of fans have come to love because of his version all of a sudden be in question of who sang it better?! This guy does a good rendition of the original.
I love youuuuuuu arnellll Pineda godbless you moreee and your family more blessing to come in 2022❤️😊😊💕💕💋💋💋💋💋💋❣️❣️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️your career and family
@@brooklynkarma4682 someone that never seen the new journey. Steve can't sing like that now so instead of making the band sound like a cover band he took a knee.
SO , SO , SO BEAUTIFUL VOICE. IT FELT SO GOOD. . WE CRIED WITH HAPPINESS. AND JOY . HE REALLY EXPRESSED THE EMOTION AND THE MEANING OF THE SONG ❤️🤍💙🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭❤️🤍💙🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭❤️🤍💙🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Your tears aren't mere droplets; they're the vital notes that brought this song to life. Thank you for sharing your emotions; it's a gift beyond compare. Keep it up ❤
He does a very good job of singing this song, but for those of us who've been listening to Steve Perry sing it for 39 years (original recording)....I still prefer the original. If someone had to replace Perry (and they did) I am glad they got this guy. He does a wonderful job.
I am very pleased that Journey found Arnel Pineda to be the lead singer. His personal story is inspiring and he deserves his success. His voice is amazing and the similarity to Steve Perry's voice is uncanny. However, I have to disagree with many who have commented here. Steve Perry is inimitable, and no one does the classic Journey songs better. Of course, this may be like arguing that strawberry ice cream is better than chocolate -- it's a matter of personal preference -- but maybe voice coaches could judge better than we could. In February of 2023 I will finally get to see Journey perform in concert, with Arnel as lead singer, so I will be looking forward to hearing him in person.
Steve of course is the legend, and Pineda is continuing his legacy. He will not match or copy Steve but Pineda must do his own version the best he can.🇺🇸🇵🇭
I'm a fan of Journey the Steve Perry era. In fact I have almost all their CDs.The advantage of Steve Perry is hes the original singer of this song. But c'mon guys lets face it, dont live in the past. Arnel didnt replace Steve, Journey found him and they need him badly. Without Arnel, Journey would have been dead long time ago. He reasurected the band and earned more for years.
Jun Aoanan Journey May have been dead but still great. Now... it’s a shadow of what it was. Think of it this way. When Led Zepplin lost Bonham, they stopped. They will always be great.
Haters will continue to hate but Arnel will keep on rocking with Journey. They will have a concert on March 2022 here in Toronto. According to Forbes Arnel's net worth is 20 Million $. Haters will continue to hate but it doesn't matter..
Arnel is a great singer, a great voice, and he really gcan get the the audience to sing along with him, it really is rare for a singer being sang togethee with audience
Some american don't believe it filipino can sing and give good performance on stage ,they think filipino not amazing too because his colour skin so many comments bring him down but he never stop to sing and never leave the band of journey he prove it some filipino have amazing voice .am proud to be a filipino i salute you arnel pineda.
so many arnel hater here lol. arnel is arnel and steve is steve. No argue at all. Just enjoy the music. We should all be thankful that if not for arnel this new generation would not even know the journey band exists. They would have been long been a dead band but then the journey's legacy is revived because of arnel.
Steve Perry is an Icon in the past but we have to move on and give Arnel his dues. This new vocalist is the reason why us millennials from all corners of the world are reached by these wonderful classic compositions . Let's be honest Steve Augerie and the rest of the replacements did not have this kind of impact until they found this little Gem. Respect to SP. Very good assessment Ms. Gorgeous. To the people who left negative comments and dislike for Arnel, We are fortunate that Journey was revived and still going strong because of this precious gem. Lets just appreciate and enjoy. This young lady was brought here by the "This Journey" not the Journey of the past. The music lives !! God bless America.
Steve Perry is the original singer and Arnel is the new singer, both do justice to Journey's Portfolio of Hit Songs, and they mutually rwespect each other.
People- stop hating Arnel. He is not Steve and he will never be. Arnel knows that and he is doesn't try to say that he is better than Steve. But you have to admit that he has done an unbelievably awesome job for the Journey band.
Steve will aways be Steve no one can topped that. In the music business the song royalty buy u a used Honda while the tour gets u the Mercedes and new mansion. Arnel and the band got back on the gravy train to feed their families thats the reality of life. Lately we've seeing more 80s bands coming back playing in Indian Casinos because they're in the same predicament. Life goes on .
Arnel his voice is amazing!!! Steve left some pretty big boots to fill. I could become a fan is he would speak all the words completely and adjusted his interpunction.
Even AP would tell you that SP was the voice, no body asked about your opinion. You just proved your ignorance and not Journey fans. Even SP was grateful for AP at their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction speech for doing his best every night for the fans. SP or AP, who ever do the interpretation of every Journey songs respectively. I salute! You will always identify a Journey fans when they hear Journey songs. Thank you Steve Perry! Thank you Steve Augeri and Thank You Arnel Pineda for giving your all for all Journey fans all over the world. Mabuhay ka!
Hello from Texas! Just in case you didn’t know, if you react to any Journey songs, you should react to the band lineup from 1978-1987, when Steve Perry was the lead singer. That’s what true journey fans recognize as “Journey“. He was the sound of Journey and possessed one of the greatest voices ever heard. Unfortunately he eventually had to leave the band because he fried his vocal cords for the love of his audience, hitting all of those loud, high and protracted notes. A version of the band Journey is still touring, but with only two long-time members, guitarist Neil Shon and keyboardist Johnathan Cain, who were both around at the height of Journey’s success when Steve Perry was the lead singer. The lead singer since 2007 is a Filipino named Arnel Pineda, who while possessing an amazing voice which sounds quite a bit like Steve Perry, is just not Steve Perry, like the band is not really Journey. If you don’t have the lead singer of the original band, you really just have a cover band, since Perry sang lead on all of their hit songs. Here is a link to the performance of Faithfully, that you might want to do another reaction to, because it is the authentic Journey, and it’s also the official music video, which very poignantly portrays the meaning of the song ... being on the road which can be very lonely, separated from your significant other, and trying to assure them that you will be faithful, even though there are thousands of screaming girls in the audience trying to throw themselves at you, everywhere that you go or perform. The video gives you not only a great, behind-the-scenes look at their touring, but also some footage of them performing the song live in concert, so it’s a double-bonus video. Also the above mentioned Neil Shon and Jonathan Cain are in the video, since they were members back at the time this song was first being performed and was a massive hit (Shon is the nice looking, clean-shaven, shorter guitarist with curly hair) and Jonathan Cain is on keyboards. Shon is the actual composer of the song. He was married at the time, so being on the road was particularly hard for him. I was very privileged to have seen Journey perform live at the height of their career back in the 80s, and it was one of the best concerts I have ever attended, before or since. ua-cam.com/video/OMD8hBsA-RI/v-deo.html Happy Holidays! 🟢🔴🟢🔴 ☮️ Steve in Dallas
That's what i am talking if you love music it doesn't matter who are the lead singer especially performing live band in front of you. The energy the Rockness the whole band itself all of them. As a whole band performing you will injoy it 100%. That is beautiful. Your paying to watched them and gave their all so the Audiences are all happy and having a good time. That are all matters.
To all the haters ask yourselves 1) Should Journey have disbanded or stopped touring after Steve left? 2) If you were discovered on UA-cam by Journey and offered the opportunity of a lifetime to sing for them, would you turn it down? FTR, I grew up on and loved Steve Perry's run and have enjoyed Arnel's time with them too.
VidVoyeur612 what about the other two Steve Perry replacements before Arnel? Answers to your questions! 1. YES. Like Led Zepplin did. Start a new band if you want but Arnel is not Journey. Steve and Neal are Journey. 2. I am not a homeless guy pretending to be Steve Perry on You Tube. I have a life. Bottom line... they can sing Journey songs (mostly written by Neal Steve and Jonathan) but they are not Journey. They can use voice enhancement at live concerts now. When Steve sang it was all Steve. Go listen to the you tube video of Arnel performing at their induction into RNR hall of fame. That crap is the real Arnel. That was embarrassing.
@@Mainecoonlady. Arnel was poor when he was a kid but because of his singing talent Arnel become stable in his life, he sing at famous bar in the Philippines ..like Hard rock cafe, Shakeys, charter box, even at well known places in olongapo. He also work in Japan as a singer for 10 yrs., and he has also several TV guesting before Neal found Arnel on Utube.
Their original vocalist was steve perry... i can say arnel and steve perry have the same voice quality... thats why when steve perry went solo, they picked up arnel pineda when one of the band members happened to see arnel covering one of their song in youtube, the rest was history..
@@engr.bhoietv Steve wasn't the original singer. That would be Greg Rollie. Greg and Neal Shon were both from the band Santana. They formed Journey in 1971 when they left Santana. Steve came along years later and shared lead vocal duties with Greg until he eventually left the band. Steve took over lead vocal control after that.
Every voice has its own originality...Arnel Pineda has no fault for that there's no easy way to duplicate every one's personality trait of singing Arnel sing his own way the Arnel Pineda way..✌️it's the same journey..❤️
Crazy how a song can bring back memories and make you sit, think, cry...never be ashamed to show your true emotions...love this song also...reminds me of my teenage yrs...cheers🤟
Steve Perry is the original vocalist of Journey but when he left, they found the perfect replacement in Arnel Pineda. Same Rock tenor voice, same stage presence and intensity.
Marilou Matusalem this video started playing and I wasn’t looking at the screen. I wondered what in the heck happened. I knew Steve Perry was not singing. Nothing bad to the new guy, but Miss Unnaturally, if you haven’t heard the original give it a try. It’s amazing
Greg Rollie was the original lead singer of Journey, not Steve Perry. Greg and Neal Shon both formed Journey in 1971 when they left the band Santana. Steve came along years later and shared lead vocal duties with Greg until he decided to leave the band. Greg wrote some incredible music for Journey in the 70's.
Metal Mcfly but they did not have a hit until Steve Perry and have not had a hit since he left. Jonathan Cain wrote faithfully. In addition to the voice Steve gave to the group, he also wrote most of the songs with Neal. Arnel is a guy who trained his voice to sound like Steve. The real voice is Steve. Arnel... is like a Steve Perry cover band. And that’s fine but you can’t call it Journey.
It's not too late to discover Arnel Pineda journey with the Journey ..hope more foreigners will discovers him ..thankyou for this..his voice is like forever ..rare this days to find ..hind nkksawa boses niya...imagine singing it live in his 40's butvstill so full of emotions and powerful ...
they want him to blow this man but their man couldn't do it Arnel want to give him the mic but he resented. Besides he was inducted at the hall of Fame while Arnel I s just there congratulating him... your man conceded it to Arnel... he got the trophy anyway, Arnel is just doing his job beautifully.
Don't feel alone..steve cried every time he sang the song ..he really was singing to his wife..who often were in separation mode...thats what a man's Hart sounds like breaking
Arnel Pineda is the lead singer and a Filipino like 4th impact I love them all and proud to be a Filipino...please continue reacting to them specially 4th impact...thank u very much...
He's close,..but Steve had that little bit of masculine gravel in his voice that was pure gold. Especially Live. Those of us who were there remember it well.🎤🎹😇
He is not Steve Perry, his name is Arnel Pineda obviously they are not the same. But he is the only one can sing Journey and nobody else that's why they selected him. Filipinos are very talented. Shout out to Filipinos!!!

Nope it's not Perry but still a beautiful song
At 60 years old I still listen to them and so many more from my younger time

Steve started the journey and Arnel continues the journey.
This guy continued the legacy of The Journey. Had it not been for this man, The Journey would have been dead.
The Journey??
I love Arnel, he is awesome and they were so lucky to have found him!!
Arnel is there nót to replace the orignal lead singer he was there to continue the legacy of famous band Journey ofcourse im realy proud of arnel not only because im a filipino,and god gave him a beatiful vóice not only to continue the lost voice of steve perry he was there to see the whole world that filipino's are very talented when it comes music,
Only real journey fans knows that..
Arnel's voice becomes richer and better as he gets older. This version is one that would make Steve very proud. :)
Arnel Pineda is the perfect rags to riches story. He comes from living on the street in the Phillapeans would eat off the ground. And no he is not a karaoke singer as an earlier comment says.

So many talented Filipinos. Arnel was never meant to replace Steve Perry, only to continue the Journey journey. Did I say that right?
Agree! Even Arnel Pineda is a die hard fan of Steve Perry! His respect for SP great!
that whole concert from Manila was brilliant
You can't please everyone. This is one of the best effin live version of faithfully
love your reaction!!!! Journey is one of my favorite bands and Arnel is truly Amazing.
With Arnell joining the journey in 2007, there is no doubt that the journey's popularity has revived.
Respect to this guy singing can't stop listening to this song gives me goosebumps what a singer

Me too I always crying every time I hear this song my arnel
Haters will continue to hate but Arnel will keep on rocking with Journey. They will have a concert on March 2022 here in Toronto. According to Forbes Arnel's net worth is 20 Million $. Haters will continue to hate but it doesn't matter..
Mamatay sa inggit yang mga haters na yan!
Arnel's estimated million $ x50.00 (peso/dollar exchange)=how much money is that
Arnel is amazing😊
Steve abandoned the ship but the ship still float.
This is Arnel Pineda his a Filipino what a nice voice proud Philippines🇯🇵🇵🇭
He does a pretty good imitation of Steve Perry.
I love this group Journey with Steve Perry and Arnel Pineda they r good guys who can really sing there songs
Arnel is a great singer, a great voice, and he really gcan get the the audience to sing along with him, it really is rare for a singer being sang togethee with audience
Agree!!!!
The power of APs voice💪🏽❤️
Wow. Amazing voice.
Some american don't believe it filipino can sing and give good performance on stage ,they think filipino not amazing too because his colour skin so many comments bring him down but he never stop to sing and never leave the band of journey he prove it some filipino have amazing voice .am proud to be a filipino i salute you arnel pineda.
The journey of Arnel Pineda as a singer, the struggling of his life and ends up At journey hand, that is incredible
so many arnel hater here lol. arnel is arnel and steve is steve. No argue at all. Just enjoy the music. We should all be thankful that if not for arnel this new generation would not even know the journey band exists. They would have been long been a dead band but then the journey's legacy is revived because of arnel.
Steve Perry is an Icon in the past but we have to move on and give Arnel his dues. This new vocalist is the reason why us millennials from all corners of the world are reached by these wonderful classic compositions . Let's be honest Steve Augerie and the rest of the replacements did not have this kind of impact until they found this little Gem. Respect to SP. Very good assessment Ms. Gorgeous.
To the people who left negative comments and dislike for Arnel, We are fortunate that Journey was revived and still going strong because of this precious gem. Lets just appreciate and enjoy. This young lady was brought here by the "This Journey" not the Journey of the past. The music lives !! God bless America.
Spot on!
Steve Perry is the original singer and Arnel is the new singer, both do justice to Journey's Portfolio of Hit Songs, and they mutually rwespect each other.
Awesome mabuhay Arnel..love you💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
People- stop hating Arnel. He is not Steve and he will never be. Arnel knows that and he is doesn't try to say that he is better than Steve. But you have to admit that he has done an unbelievably awesome job for the Journey band.
Journey band took arnel pineda as the closest voice of steve perry steve, for health reasons quitted, Its all about it!
Thats what I'm saying. He's trying to make a living but u gotta Karen runnin around hating for no other legit reason other than he's Asian.
You got that right Steve perry will always be the sound of journey
Steve will aways be Steve no one can topped that. In the music business the song royalty buy u a used Honda while the tour gets u the Mercedes and new mansion. Arnel and the band got back on the gravy train to feed their families thats the reality of life. Lately we've seeing more 80s bands coming back playing in Indian Casinos because they're in the same predicament. Life goes on .
Arnel his voice is amazing!!!
Steve left some pretty big boots to fill. I could become a fan is he would speak all the words completely and adjusted his interpunction.
😭😭😭. I love this song 😭. I love you arnel pineda.
'' JOURNEY''
This is Arnel Pineda of Philippines...
Even AP would tell you that SP was the voice, no body asked about your opinion. You just proved your ignorance and not Journey fans. Even SP was grateful for AP at their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction speech for doing his best every night for the fans. SP or AP, who ever do the interpretation of every Journey songs respectively. I salute! You will always identify a Journey fans when they hear Journey songs. Thank you Steve Perry! Thank you Steve Augeri and Thank You Arnel Pineda for giving your all for all Journey fans all over the world. Mabuhay ka!
Arnel and steve perry has a perfect and amazing voice
Filipino Singers are Truly Gifted..
Well, not all of them. You should hear my neighbor, nice guy but...
Hello from Texas!
Just in case you didn’t know, if you react to any Journey songs, you should react to the band lineup from 1978-1987, when Steve Perry was the lead singer. That’s what true journey fans recognize as “Journey“. He was the sound of Journey and possessed one of the greatest voices ever heard. Unfortunately he eventually had to leave the band because he fried his vocal cords for the love of his audience, hitting all of those loud, high and protracted notes.
A version of the band Journey is still touring, but with only two long-time members, guitarist Neil Shon and keyboardist Johnathan Cain, who were both around at the height of Journey’s success when Steve Perry was the lead singer.
The lead singer since 2007 is a Filipino named Arnel Pineda, who while possessing an amazing voice which sounds quite a bit like Steve Perry, is just not Steve Perry, like the band is not really Journey. If you don’t have the lead singer of the original band, you really just have a cover band, since Perry sang lead on all of their hit songs.
Here is a link to the performance of Faithfully, that you might want to do another reaction to, because it is the authentic Journey, and it’s also the official music video, which very poignantly portrays the meaning of the song ... being on the road which can be very lonely, separated from your significant other, and trying to assure them that you will be faithful, even though there are thousands of screaming girls in the audience trying to throw themselves at you, everywhere that you go or perform.
The video gives you not only a great, behind-the-scenes look at their touring, but also some footage of them performing the song live in concert, so it’s a double-bonus video. Also the above mentioned Neil Shon and Jonathan Cain are in the video, since they were members back at the time this song was first being performed and was a massive hit (Shon is the nice looking, clean-shaven, shorter guitarist with curly hair) and Jonathan Cain is on keyboards. Shon is the actual composer of the song. He was married at the time, so being on the road was particularly hard for him.
I was very privileged to have seen Journey perform live at the height of their career back in the 80s, and it was one of the best concerts I have ever attended, before or since.

Happy Holidays! 🟢🔴🟢🔴
☮️ Steve in Dallas
Did you leave anything out ? 😳
That's what i am talking if you love music it doesn't matter who are the lead singer especially performing live band in front of you. The energy the Rockness the whole band itself all of them. As a whole band performing you will injoy it 100%. That is beautiful. Your paying to watched them and gave their all so the Audiences are all happy and having a good time. That are all matters.
I remember when Journey first took the airways by storm. I and many others couldn't get enough of there music. Fantastic! 🤗
To all the haters ask yourselves 1) Should Journey have disbanded or stopped touring after Steve left? 2) If you were discovered on UA-cam by Journey and offered the opportunity of a lifetime to sing for them, would you turn it down? FTR, I grew up on and loved Steve Perry's run and have enjoyed Arnel's time with them too.
VidVoyeur612 what about the other two Steve Perry replacements before Arnel? Answers to your questions! 1. YES. Like Led Zepplin did. Start a new band if you want but Arnel is not Journey. Steve and Neal are Journey. 2. I am not a homeless guy pretending to be Steve Perry on You Tube. I have a life. Bottom line... they can sing Journey songs (mostly written by Neal Steve and Jonathan) but they are not Journey. They can use voice enhancement at live concerts now. When Steve sang it was all Steve. Go listen to the you tube video of Arnel performing at their induction into RNR hall of fame. That crap is the real Arnel. That was embarrassing.
@@Mainecoonlady. Arnel was poor when he was a kid but because of his singing talent Arnel become stable in his life, he sing at famous bar in the Philippines ..like Hard rock cafe, Shakeys, charter box, even at well known places in olongapo. He also work in Japan as a singer for 10 yrs., and he has also several TV guesting before Neal found Arnel on Utube.
@@Mainecoonlady. poor jealous lady no one hit "Like" in your comment. 🤪😝🤣
I didnt know about Journey until Arnel Pineda was discovered .Meaning he is the reason why we watch Journey
Millennials, huh. Im 90s guy and i knew journey before Arnel came.
Their original vocalist was steve perry... i can say arnel and steve perry have the same voice quality... thats why when steve perry went solo, they picked up arnel pineda when one of the band members happened to see arnel covering one of their song in youtube, the rest was history..
@@engr.bhoietv Steve wasn't the original singer. That would be Greg Rollie. Greg and Neal Shon were both from the band Santana. They formed Journey in 1971 when they left Santana. Steve came along years later and shared lead vocal duties with Greg until he eventually left the band. Steve took over lead vocal control after that.
Arnel is awesome, but do yourself a favor and watch Steve perry and journey do Who’s Crying Now live from Houston in the 80s.
I gotta stick with Steve Perry on these songs.
If you don’t cry while listening to this, I’m sad for you. If you’re almost there, put some good headphones on. Peace.
Whiteboy in Philippines, I got to meet this singer and the real life story make. You cry. So many struggles. Love. You bro
Every voice has its own originality...Arnel Pineda has no fault for that there's no easy way to duplicate every one's personality trait of singing Arnel sing his own way the Arnel Pineda way..✌️it's the same journey..❤️
I really enjoyed watching your reactions everytime filipino sings. Loved it.
Of course Steve Perry is Journey , but Arnel did him proud... amazing job
im a classic county kind of guy but this is my all time favorite song!!!
Crazy how a song can bring back memories and make you sit, think, cry...never be ashamed to show your true emotions...love this song also...reminds me of my teenage yrs...cheers🤟
I've heard Steve Perry version and they are both very good singer. Although i might say i like the sound of Arnel's voice
It was his first time back in Manila.......He is so amazing....Puso Pilipinas
Steve Perry is the original vocalist of Journey but when he left, they found the perfect replacement in Arnel Pineda. Same Rock tenor voice, same stage presence and intensity.
Marilou Matusalem this video started playing and I wasn’t looking at the screen. I wondered what in the heck happened. I knew Steve Perry was not singing. Nothing bad to the new guy, but Miss Unnaturally, if you haven’t heard the original give it a try. It’s amazing
Greg Rollie was the original lead singer of Journey, not Steve Perry. Greg and Neal Shon both formed Journey in 1971 when they left the band Santana. Steve came along years later and shared lead vocal duties with Greg until he decided to leave the band. Greg wrote some incredible music for Journey in the 70's.
Bullshit, he's not even close to Steve Perry, please stop that nonsense.
Steve is not the original lead singer of Journey, just the one that made them hit the big time.
Metal Mcfly but they did not have a hit until Steve Perry and have not had a hit since he left. Jonathan Cain wrote faithfully. In addition to the voice Steve gave to the group, he also wrote most of the songs with Neal. Arnel is a guy who trained his voice to sound like Steve. The real voice is Steve. Arnel... is like a Steve Perry cover band. And that’s fine but you can’t call it Journey.
You look good missunaturally,thanks for featuring filipino talent
Journey says they get the joy of rediscovering you! Especially to the new generation. There is room for Perry and Pineda fans so Journey can live on.
YES BUT COMPARE HIM TO HIS OWN WRITTEN SONGS! OH THAT'S RIGHT HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY (PINEDA)
Journey has basically become a Journey cover band. If people enjoy listening to that- all the more power to them. I'll stick with the actual band.
It's not too late to discover Arnel Pineda journey with the Journey ..hope more foreigners will discovers him ..thankyou for this..his voice is like forever ..rare this days to find ..hind nkksawa boses niya...imagine singing it live in his 40's butvstill so full of emotions and powerful ...
Arnel is astounding!
Unbelievable amazing voice Arnel Pineda
Why do they hate this man?.......
Get a life Haters
Haven't seen anyone say they hate him. He is very good.
they want him to blow this man but their man couldn't do it Arnel want to give him the mic but he resented. Besides he was inducted at the hall of Fame while Arnel I s just there congratulating him... your man conceded it to Arnel... he got the trophy anyway, Arnel is just doing his job beautifully.
Don't feel alone..steve cried every time he sang the song ..he really was singing to his wife..who often were in separation mode...thats what a man's Hart sounds like breaking
Many thanks to AP and the group to let Journey legacy live in our times.
Arnel...u make us proud!!!mabuhay ka!!!
Wow amazing voice from Arnel Pineda 👌👌👌👏👏👏👏
Steve perry and Ariel pineda is the journey legacy forever. ...
Arnel Pineda is the lead singer and a Filipino like 4th impact I love them all and proud to be a Filipino...please continue reacting to them specially 4th impact...thank u very much...
Arnel is one of the greatest singers in journey since Steve perry
Arnel and Steve are different but both are outstanding!! It's a matter of preference.
Well said
👍👍superb talent lodi ang galing mo tlaga AP👍
Atmel Pineda Lead Singer of Journey is from the Philippines..
philip musico Ganon ba.. ok
He's close,..but Steve had that little bit of masculine gravel in his voice that was pure gold. Especially Live. Those of us who were there remember it well.🎤🎹😇
The pride of the Philippines, Arnel Pineda as the new lead vocalist of the JOURNEY
I love your reaction and understand how you must feel - great! great! job.
