The Journey CD album totally blows me away. One of the best albums to come out in years. Congratulations to Journey and Mr. Kevin Shirley!

I love Arnel!!! Way to go Journey!! He sounds so much like Steve Perry...but with his own sound as well. I really love it. Been missing the Journey sound and now it is back. So glad they found this guy on YouTube. Hope "The Zoo" aren't too upset that they lost there lead singer. He fits so perfect with Journey and so similar to Steve it is just Amazing. I have been a long time Journey fan from the mid 70's and had seen them change a few times...but, when Steve Perry was lead singer, that is when I truly fell in love with the band. The singers after him never interested me and never lived up to Steve....until now. Arnel Pineda is perfect!!!! My "Journey" is back again and am headed off to buy the new CD/DVD!!
Thank you Ellen for having them on!! Love ya!

Me too i want him to sing sunshower in my wedding anniversary! Journey rocks!

PINOY ROCKS....ARNEL YOUR THE BEST!!

Great voice with power and tone.

what does Perry think..woW..!!!!

I just bought the Revelation album of the reborn Journey. The song that I like most is "After all these years." The live version in Vegas was even better. But he was a bit short of breath in the song, Don't stop believin. Must be tired coz it was the last song. The old songs which was remastered using AP's voice was also very impressive. Well, good for SP coz if this album will sell good, he will still earn from this coz all the old songs recorded in this CD was written by him and J Cain.

It's really amazing how change affects people's attitude and reaction. ARNEL PINEDA is the hottest CHANGE in the music world--at least in the JOURNEY world. I have read quite a number of comments in many websites about this change. Some like it, some don't. By far, most do like it. But it's really amazing to me how some people can be negative about any change, especially if the change doesn't match their personal preferences. I personally like mellow music, and I didn't know Journey and Steve Perry before. I became interested only recently because of this fuss with the band’s new lead vocalist. I tried to be as objective as possible by listening to the original clips with Steve Perry and the new clips with Arnel Pineda. Both of them are very good. Both of them are not perfect. I like some aspects of Steve's singing, and I like some aspects of Arnel's singing. It would be nice to combine all the good things in both of their singing--but that's not possible. Realistically, I need to be satisfied with what is practically available. I learned that Journey had 2 or 3 previous lead vocalist changes after Steve Perry, due to various reasons. It's Journey's SOLE prerogative to make those CHANGE decisions. People need to RESPECT their decisions. It's THEIR band. It's THEIR future that is at stake—not anyone else’s. No one can claim to know what they want, except for them. Again, it's their exclusive right to make the decision. People can talk endlessly and uselessly about what they don't want about the change--but that's all talk, really. What people think doesn't have any effect on the decision--because the decision-makers didn't really care. Otherwise, Journey should have asked/consulted with/gotten votes of, the "people" or fans--especially the old, devoted fans. Well, they did not. What I'm trying to say is-- people need to just cool down and be realistic and practical and flexible. Give the new guy a chance, just like the past Journey vocalists were given chances. This is America. Arnel may have been lucky, being at the right place at the right time. But that's life. Accept it. The reality is --the better you are and the harder you work--the luckier you become. I did not know Arnel but based on my readings--he paid his dues--perhaps more than most of the people writing comments in this site. He had a difficult life, due to no fault of his. He has 25 years of singing experience. And he actually won as champion vocalist in real singing contests two years in a row in the late 80’s. I believe he deserves this opportunity. And he seems to remain very humble an unassuming--about this thing. He even continues to idolize Steve Perry. Oh, about this discrimination and racial issues--- We are talking vocals, and singing ability here--not skin color, not height, not race, not gender, not looks. I'm actually fed up with racial discrimination discussions. When can people start to realize that each one of us has his/her own talents and strengths. In this knowledge-based, internet-dominated world of ours---what matters most is one’s ability and talent and--I might add---good character and good relationships….Other stuff, real or imagined--are marginal—whether one accepts it or not. Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods are African American (black-skinned) but people respect and idolize them in America and worldwide; Albert Einstein was short (and was an immigrant)--but people respected and idolized him in America and worldwide. Elvis Presley was white, and people respected and idolized him in America and worldwide; I can go on, and on, and on….hopefully, I got my point across. RACE & SKIN COLOR DON'T MATTER, GUYS. RACE & SKIN COLOR CAN'T MAKE ONE SUCCESSFUL OR USEFUL IN THIS WORLD. SUCCESS IS EARNED. IT'S WHAT GOOD THINGS ONE CAN DO, AND ACCOMPLISH THAT MATTER MOST. Discrimination, arrogance, envy, back-biting, fault-finding can do nothing good. Let's be positive--for once. Let us be happy for someone who has a chance to become successful--in his/her own right---with honesty and integrity. Let us strive to carve out our own contribution to society—without trying to “bring down somebody.” Let us remove the speck from our own eyes first before we judge other people. Let us examine ourselves honestly---before we throw the first stone at somebody........And now….I can rest my case.
