I just saw Journey perform on the Early Show on CBS this morning. Apparently the found a new lead singer from the Phillipines, and on youtube at that.

It's amazing how much he sounds exactly like Steve Perry. If I was only listening to it I would say it was him...but I'm not a Journey purist so I don't know, I could be way off LOL

In Space, no one can hear me sing!

Oh yeah, they even have an album out. I think it came out last year. Neal Schon saw him on Youtube & hired him. Way to go for the new guy! 8)

That's interesting. I like Journey.

Pretty cool that you can get a big gig off Youtube! :wink:

Yeah, how must that conversation have gone?

"Yeah, I'm on youtube. Thought our band could get some exposure."
"Oh, okay, how'd that work?"
"I'm the lead singer for Journey now."

the subject had me hopeful. Steve Perry's singing is the very reason I disliked Journey.

for me, the majority of a vocal group's worth is right there in the singer. with Janis singing, I can deal with BBatHC playing out of tune. but no matter how good the writing and musicianship, the Doobies with Mike McDonald --- feh, not so much.
