Ahh, yes, you're referring to Arnel Pineda. Singing is practically an obsession in the Philippines.

It's fairly common to find plenty of singers in the Philippines who can closely mimic their favorite singers such as Barbra Streisand, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, etc. It's uncanny. You'd swear you were actually listening to the real thing!

Arnel Pineda has been a struggling singer for years, and the fact he's fronting one of the best bands ever, good for him. He deserves it.

^^ yep!

The band says they have been trying to talk to Steve but he needs hip surgery and doesn't want to be bothered. He comes and goes with the band and I'm glad they are giving someone a break who could really use one'
Your avatar is freaking me out.. I'm like "please don't let the elephant fall" ackkkkkkkkkk

Steve Perry had hip replacement surgery back in 98. He's been retired for a while.

Yeah,I saw them on Ellen.It's freaky,the guy before him sounded like Steve too.

I love playing Neal Schon songs on guitar, my voice is quite similar to Steve, so it goes without saying I am a huge Journey Fan.

Hope they tour with Pineda he sings really good

they said he was putting off having hip surgery, maybe this is hip number 2? The band wanted to tour and he kept putting them off so they hooked up with Pineda to tour with.

I like Steve but he left them before to go on his own. I get the feeling he is over the Journey thing.
