Thank you for not being biased. I'm a Huge Steve Perry fan but Arnel not only resembles Steve's voice, he managed to fill some pretty big shoes. Who else could do that? Now I'm an Arnel fan!😊
I'm an old guy. Grew up on this music. I get goose bumps, chills, butterflies, and even tears of deep emotion EVERY time I hear Arnel sing. I just love that dude. Great video! Thank you from a fellow ginger(redhead).☺👍
When i was living in quezon city i see arnel often in the street of kamuning in quezon city...he is always buying his everyday needs in the kamuning wet market...he's so humble ...easy to approach same as normal ordinary person
What a joy watching him perform. He doesnt have to act that much.....its just him and who he is..Then he opens his mouth and starts pushing out those magical notes and tones!!....Journey is one of my favorite bands and to find another human that can pull off what Steve did live, is a blessing for all of us. Rock on Arnel and JOURNEY!!!!
Proud to be one of the live audience there, it was really unforgettable concert and we really had fun, we went home with a smile in our face that time.
Beth forgot to mention a crucial fact and that is Arnel was discovered when Journey's guitarist, Neal Schon, was surfing RUclips and stumbled upon Arnel's Filipino band (The Zoo). Neal was so impressed with the similarity of Arnel's voice and range with Journey icon Steve Perry that Neal contacted Arnel to audition to be Journey's new singer with Neal paying for Arnel's airfare to go to the USA. The rest as they say is history!
The power of the internet. This couldn't have happened in the 90s or 80s or prior which goes to show the internet can change lives of people in the third world by creating big breaks to talented people. So people keep uploading your covers to youtube because you'll never know who is watching.
Lord GOD .. true that he was surfing the internet. But that time he wasn’t just surfing, he was actually in the internet looking for a singer who can sing like Perry. Because he was frustrated with all the auditions and listening to recording they sent him, so he turn to internet and then boom there was Arnel Pineda.
I first met arnel around 15 years ago in the Philippines when he was singing in a dingy bar to around 5 people with his band I think was called zoo? Because I was a frequent traveller from Australia we became friends and I was invited to his first ever journey concert which was incredible, this guy is an incredible performer and we are still great friends and I contact regularly today... No journey without him
@@xaviero2287 You're one of those assholes who thinks that every person who claims to know somebody famous has to be lying. Guess what? Famous people do know ordinary people like you and me. Sure he could be lying, but why do you assume he is.
Yes. Perfection is the word for this incredibly talented singer Arnel Pineda--with his perfec-pitch tenor voice .. AP is already with the famous Journey band for more than 14 years-- that means to show that he was doing amazing with the band. BTW** The Journey band performed in the iconic NY Times Square New Years' Eve 2022., minutes before midnight !! The most viewed event at the end of the year! Arnel.-what an incredible performance! LIVE - WOW!
All that matters is that Journey felt he was more than good enough to fill the role, what anybody else thinks is irrelevant. Arnel has done a phenomenal job.
What a fantastic voice I seen him & his band . Journey when they were touring with Def Leppard.. . When I hear this particular songs I get goosebumps.. keep up the good work I'm so happy for you and everyone else that we can keep the Journey songs alive thanks arnel
He may not be Steve Perry but hot damn Arnel Pineda has one Hell of an amazing voice. He's honestly the best choice they could ever get to "replace" Steve in Journey.
There is a Journey cover band out there that’s really popular (can’t think of the band name). The guy that portrays Steve sounds really similar to him, I think more than this guy.
Arnel reacted to this performance too, and he said, this is the 20th song he did that night, he himself was so amazed aboit his performance that night. Truly blessed, yet still so humble.
Thank you very much Beth for reacting to this video of Journey and Arnel Pineda. I wish you all the best and a successful RUclips channel. Greetings from the Philippines.
Even Steve Perry agrees that Arnel is the right vocalist for Journey, having been with Journey far longer than Steve Perry himself was. Arnel is phenomenal. For Journey to strike gold twice with truly one-of-a-kind vocalists is nothing short of miraculous.
I’ll always be a Steve Perry Stan cause he’s my favorite singer of all time but I gotta give it up to Arnel Pineda. He really was the best Journey could do to replace Steve’s iconic voice. He had the stage presence to be able to pull off these songs and as you said it ain’t easy for a man to sing any of Steve’s songs especially this one.
Arnel had been with journey for a little over 2yrs. when I saw him in 2009 and he was great. The drummer Deen Castranovo sang "Mother, Father, Sister, Brother", and "Still They Ride". He also has a fantastic voice. Deen's singing for "Journey through time". The new journey venture. You should do a Comparison piece on Deen Castranovo!
I agree Jim, Journey Through Time sounds like classic Steve Perry era Journey. And according to a DJ friend of mine who knows Neal Schoen, Neal really enjoyed doing JTT more than the current incarnation of Journey.
Hi Beth! Thank you for watching and reacting on Arnel Pineda. He's really a pride of the Philippines. Pls. watch and react also on their hit song After All This Years. This is actually recorded when Arnel is already the lead vocalist of Journey. I really love this song. You'll gonna love it too. Thanks and God Bless😊😊😊
I enjoy your commentary, explanation and description of the singers. However, your emotional reactions are priceless. You make this so much fun. Don't stop.
Welcome back Beth, soooo nice to hear you roar again. 1. Arnel is no longer new to Journey, in fact, he is now the longest standing lead vocalist the band has had. 2. It only took either 3 weeks or 13 weeks to re-record all the original Journey songs with Arnel because of "One take" or nearest to it recordings. 3. This is not his only voice. Arnel's got range/versatility. He does Axel Rose voice (Guns and Roses) as well as a Brian Adams - with the rasp - (I Finally Found Someone - Prince of Tides, impromptu duet with Morissette Amon on the Wishbus). It all on Ytube
Have Seen them twice in the Netherlands with arnel pineda. What a voice. Close your eyes and you Hear Steve Perry. Shivers down my spine with this song.
Hans Janssen no you obviously haven’t really listened to Steve Perry at all. Arnel is just a good cover singer who mimics lots of rock singers but not even in the same universe as Steve Perry.
Hans Janssen Arnel has a strong accent and a thicker voice. Arnel is a good cover singer but a pale imitation of Steve Perry. Deen Castronovo is much closer to Steve Perry’s voice and range. ruclips.net/video/s55Py6a5YQs/видео.html
Hans Janssen Steve Perry never went to Netherlands. They didn’t really tour Europe. He doesn’t sound exactly like Arnel. That’s not about taste. Arnel can’t even sing the hard songs like Mother Father-Deen used to sing those instead.
The documentary of how he was found and then his Journey began was amazing ....I mean we should all thank that this guy is taking the band's legacy forward....Please dont discard just because you love Steve..I am huge Steve Perry fan and being a singer i would give anything to sing half as good as Steve in his prime but what Arnel does day in and day out addressing thousands of die hard fans and pleasing them at that and justifying why he is in the band is in itself brilliant...Arnel deserves a lot of applause and love...Journey rocks ! Not to forget the guitar monster that Neal is !
Ashiqur Rohman Kelly Hansen has to do the same in Foreigner because people prefer Lou Gramm. What Arnel does isn’t special. Steve Augeri had it the hardest in Journey as far as acceptance. Arnel came in when the band became popular again because of the Sopranos and Glee using “Don’t Stop Believin.”
@@deepbluesea8163 Doesnt take away the fact that Arnel is an amazing vocalist and performer...Try singing Separate ways or Faithfully on even a much lower register and yet it will drain you. Steve was just a replacement...on his own a great vocalist but wasn't fit for the Journey sound which isnt easy though i love Remember Me...But what Arnel does is amazing. Suppose we do let Arnel go ...what after that ???? No shows ...nothing and specially not of the calibre that Arnel pulls off...Judt because he is Asian dont be so naive..Arnel can give a run for theit money to the best out there.
Ashiqur Rohman Big deal, don’t make it a race thing. Arnel is a good cover singer, he gets lots of help and has another singer also singing lead vocals. The band just hired a new singer who will replace the role of that extra keyboard player who shared the lead vocals. Arnel isn’t doing anything special. This band has no loyalty, they keep replacing the lead singers, they’ll just find another Journey cover singer if Arnel loses his voice.
Se me eriza la piel con la voz de Arnel Pineda t siempre siempre termino llorando cuando lo escucho, su voz es maravillosa, un regalo para la humanidad.
Hi Beth! I'm gonna share my story with this song. Once upon a time in Mexico, long long ago. This boy in high school gave me what I thought was a poem he had written and I totally fell for him 🥰 . As the relation grew I found out that "poem" were the lyrics for this song (translated) and since then I'm a faithful fan of Journey! Today I remember my high school sweetheart eventhough we grew apart that love story always remains in a special place in my hearth! Shout out to all Journey fans who felt in love with their music 🎼🎵🎶💕💕
Quick fact about this live video. This was Arnil's first public performance as journey's lead singer. It was held in Manila in an outside sorts arena. The crowd was more than 50,000 strong. What an awesome debut for Arnil. The rest is history.
I just found out about Arnel and his life story this week.'Don't stop believing' and 'faithfully' have deep meaning to me and Arnel's version of 'faithfully' gives me goosebumps and moves me to tears every time I hear it. I read some negative comments about Arnel on other channels from Steve Perry fans, and it makes me wonder if any of them can even sing! All I know is that both singers are superb with their own styles. I'm glad Beth that you have the experience to know how difficult it is to sing these songs. Thank you for the review.
as an extreme music lover the entertainment in this video for me was watching you react to him. Yea...ive seen journey live in every incarnation they have had. This guy is tremendous. Even Steve thinks so as evidenced by his shout out to him at the original bands RR hall of fame induction. and yea, there are moments at their concerts now where that lump hits in your throat when you remember first time you saw them was in 78. 42 years ago. 13 times ive seen them.
I'm married to a filapina in the phillipines we live there every time we see this video she cries they are proud of him there he grew up very poor now he sings with one of most legendary bands ever he better make to the hall of Fame
Very enjoyable Video Beth ! What a Pro Arnel is, admired the World over. I might add you are quite lovely, voice too, and that Hair...love it ! Greetings from The Philippines
Absolutely stunning..his voice is amazing..Steve Perry would be no easy shoes to fill as a vocalist but this guy definitely makes it seem as though it is lol Great choice Beth I hope u are staying safe and healthy wherever u are
Your channel just popped on my suggested list and it's great! Binge watching the lot. Get to hear some great singers, and an extra treat when you burst into song too. Have to say, I love Faithfully and knew about Arnel but never really listened to his versions on purpose, but this is absolutely beautiful.
There is a wonderful documentary on the rise of Arnel into the band called _Don't Stop Believin; Everyman's Journey_ that is really great. It is available via streaming on Netflix.
I really appreciated seeing you react and describing how Arnel Pineda was singing. Your excitement, your surprise, and your genuineness in responding to Arnel's performance astounded me as well as I listened to him sing the lovely song "Faithfully." Thank you; you are wonderful.😘
Steve Perry was Journey. Having said that, Arnel sang this song at a level that even Steve Perry cannot rise up to right now...Arnel, you revived one of my favorite bands and did a superb job to fill a shoe so big yet the fit could not have been more perfect--Thank you!
Lisa Chambers This is from 2009, Arnel hasn’t been singing in the original key since 2012 and uses guide vocals so that he can jump around on stage. Arnel can’t even sing like this in 2019 even at lowered key, so don’t even compare him to Steve Perry who’s the GOAT. He also didn’t fill Steve Perry’s shoes because he can’t even sing the whole Journey catalog-hard songs like Mother Father. The band hires a backup lead singer to help him out.
@Lisa Chambers Arnel’s voice totally degraded especially last year in Vegas when he really tried to sing in original key. Band lowered key 8 years ago. Perry sounds amazing singing acapella at age 70+ with no autotune.
Most of the haters out there like these two in here just seem so fixated with arguing how "oh Steve Perry was better because etc. etc." It's absolutely disappointing how some can get so triggered just bcuz "oh he's not my favorite singer" or "oh the original was better." Bitch we know that even if u dont tell us but can't u just sit down and stop discrediting another person's talent just bcuz the original did it better?
For a comparison it would be rather great to hear your reaction and review of Journey's Mother Father from this very same concert. It is sang by Deen Castronovo, who used to be the drummer of Journey back then. Doing a Steve Perry classic while playing drums - can't get much more challenging.
@@lucidam7722 really? i didn't know that? like some kind of a backup guy singing on the backline and arnel is just following his lead? Is that what you mean?
Sei Yamato no, they share lead vocals, Arnel doesn’t sing all the songs, he gets breaks and this other singer sings instead of Arnel (Deen Castronovo used to do this in the past). Journey just hired Jason Derlatka to fill this role for the upcoming tour with the Pretenders. Jason will also be the 2nd keyboard player on stage.
restituto rebucas Steve Perry joined Journey in 1977 and he replaced Robert Fleischman who was lead singer in Journey for a few months. I don’t know who you’re referring to at all. Arnel was hired in 2007.
Thank you for not being biased. I'm a Huge Steve Perry fan but Arnel not only resembles Steve's voice, he managed to fill some pretty big shoes. Who else could do that? Now I'm an Arnel fan!😊
I'm an old guy. Grew up on this music. I get goose bumps, chills, butterflies, and even tears of deep emotion EVERY time I hear Arnel sing. I just love that dude. Great video! Thank you from a fellow ginger(redhead).☺👍
I was like, shit that dude ain't a redhead!? Then like yeah girly in the corner haha. my bad on that. ..get it
Hi. You might want to listen to his song Owe - which he composed for his wife. He sang it on the Wish Bus. it's also beautiful.
The documentary about Arnel joining Journey is quite inspiring.
Ohw I haven't seen it, I'll try to look it up.
@@Catiting33 It used to be on Netflix. Not sure if it still is.
Inspiring indeed!
@@dylankrogers
I mean, this guy can sing, but I am more drawn to the original with Steve Perry
Arnel is actually the longest serving lead singer of Journey, and he is awesome!
❤️
Yep, and since 2008 he hasn't turned down a gig..what a beast indeed
Nope
@@RICHIE_RICH89 yes he is
That's pretty cool. I hope he keeps going for a long time.
When i was living in quezon city i see arnel often in the street of kamuning in quezon city...he is always buying his everyday needs in the kamuning wet market...he's so humble ...easy to approach same as normal ordinary person

Arnel! So much pride he brings to the Philippines. A global star!
A voice like this deserves to be heard by everyone. Incredible!
Why did the Philippines never care about Arnel when he was homeless and starving. They never cared about him until he joined journey.
Proud to be one of the live audience there, it was really unforgettable concert and we really had fun, we went home with a smile in our face that time.
Saw Arnel with Journey last year- best concert I have ever been to in my life!

true!
Yeah and as much as Steve perry was missed he went solo and created some bangers and Journey did find a gem so I think everyone won
This song was what I walked down the aisle to at my wedding last year
I've been to 5 Journey concerts already with Arnel..
Me and my wife saw them in 2017 in New Orleans. Arnel’s voice live punches you thru the gut ❤️🤘🏻🔥
Lucky people ✌️
You went with Arnel? Cool
@@sunkissedbeach yes as in went to a Journey concert with Arnel as the singer.
I’ve seen him sing in person many times and he is amazing
No auto tune pure talent
First time I have heard Arnel Pineda, wow. The best ones make it look and sound so easy.
Did you know that when Journey discovered Arnel Pineda, he already passed his prime according to him..
yeah..arnel was 40 when they found him..arnel in his 30's could sing anything..the man has a massive range!
If only we got to hear arnel during his 20's omg just imagine the tone of his voice and massive range.
He has some amazing covers with his old band on RUclips! That’s actually how they found him!
Listen to him before he was taken in by Journey; you'll be amazed.
What a fantastic voice I seen him & his band . Journey when they were touring with Def Leppard.. . When I hear this particular songs I get goosebumps.. keep up the good work I'm so happy for you and everyone else that we can keep the Journey songs alive thanks arnel
this song gives me chills and tears. This song means a lot to me in so many ways :)

Hugo Valentin is the lead singer. His voice with make you want to cry.
I agree
The classic elegant Redhead OMG Gorgeous and talented !!
@Michael Gloth slap it hard. It will turn red.
Arnel reacted to this performance too, and he said, this is the 20th song he did that night, he himself was so amazed aboit his performance that night. Truly blessed, yet still so humble.
Arnel is amazing! I have goosebumps listening to this song. Journey gave Arnel a new life and Arnel gave Journey a second life.
I love it when great things happen to good people .
I can just never just listen to this song and not cry, no matter if Steve or Arnel singing it.
Of the lead singers who replaced a legend, this guy is the best i have ever heard.
I worked stage left Security for Journey with Arnel. He was awesome
Thank you Beth for reacting to Arnel. He has been an inspiration to a lot of Filipino singers. Just like Manny Pacquiao, from nothing to something.
Thank you for reacting to Arnel , I think he is amazing!!!
one of my favorite journey songs. Glad I was able to see them live in 2017 and 2018
Thank you very much Beth for reacting to this video of Journey and Arnel Pineda. I wish you all the best and a successful RUclips channel. Greetings from the Philippines.

One thing is for sure. They couldn't have picked anyone any better to fill Steve's shoes, Its kinda magical.
At this point, today, Arnel has been in Journey longer than Steve was.
Take note Arnel is very versatile singer and can sing other singers songs.
Im a filipino and waving for you Beth 🖐️🖐️🖐️
Many hearts are broken in that night. A great performance for his fans. 😁
I saw them in about 2010 or 2011 in Oklahoma. They were great and this guy did an amazing job singing.
The drummer, Deen Castronovo, has an amazing voice, also. He is as good as you will ever hear.
His ‘Mother Father’ is amazing!! Steve admitted that was his hardest song to sing, and as amazing as Arnel is, it was out of his range at that time.
Agree
Deen can sing but not as good as arnel...arnel can sing continuously like 20 up songs in a concert... consistency is there...
@@Thucydites Still Ride has mind blowing vocals. Deen nails it and keep time.

All I know is that both singers are superb with their own styles. I'm glad Beth that you have the experience to know how difficult it is to sing these songs.
Thank you for the review.
as an extreme music lover the entertainment in this video for me was watching you react to him. Yea...ive seen journey live in every incarnation they have had. This guy is tremendous. Even Steve thinks so as evidenced by his shout out to him at the original bands RR hall of fame induction. and yea, there are moments at their concerts now where that lump hits in your throat when you remember first time you saw them was in 78. 42 years ago. 13 times ive seen them.
I'm married to a filapina in the phillipines we live there every time we see this video she cries they are proud of him there he grew up very poor now he sings with one of most legendary bands ever he better make to the hall of Fame
The fact that his voice has gotten higher over the years and he ups the pitch and it’s amazing
So is being used now but I guess alot of bands use it
Very enjoyable Video Beth ! What a Pro Arnel is, admired the World over. I might add you are quite lovely, voice too, and that Hair...love it !
Greetings from The Philippines
Absolutely stunning..his voice is amazing..Steve Perry would be no easy shoes to fill as a vocalist but this guy definitely makes it seem as though it is lol Great choice Beth I hope u are staying safe and healthy wherever u are
Thanks for the music I love arnel
Thank you for reacting on this one, love from Philippines
Arnel has an extra ordinary.. Your so true.. An amazing voice,
I love the guitar improv solo also, it's so nice
Yeah same comments here, there no words can describe Arnel's ability in singing, just perfectly a big 'WOW'. ❤❤❤😊
Your channel just popped on my suggested list and it's great! Binge watching the lot. Get to hear some great singers, and an extra treat when you burst into song too.
Have to say, I love Faithfully and knew about Arnel but never really listened to his versions on purpose, but this is absolutely beautiful.
Hi,Beth...Stay safe always & godbless u more...💙❤💙
im very proud my neighbor,, he is very simple & humble person,
There is a wonderful documentary on the rise of Arnel into the band called _Don't Stop Believin; Everyman's Journey_ that is really great. It is available via streaming on Netflix.
Love your videos Beth. God bless.
I saw them in Eugene Oregon with Asia a few years ago... It was great to see the band whole again.
What a sweetheart you are Beth. A real treat to listen to.
He's fantastic and so versatile!! His RUclips posts that got him the gig are excellent as well.
I really appreciated seeing you react and describing how Arnel Pineda was singing. Your excitement, your surprise, and your genuineness in responding to Arnel's performance astounded me as well as I listened to him sing the lovely song "Faithfully." Thank you; you are wonderful.😘
Yes!!! JOURNEY BAND are so beautiful the piano, the guitar the drummer etc. And most the vocalist AP. I am obsessed. 🌍🌎🌏🍾🍻🍹🍺💃.
Truly beautiful, amazing!!!!
Thank you coach for reacting to Arnel (Journey). His voice is extraordinary.
I've never heard anyone say Tagalog and it's accent lends itself to good singing technique. So interesting.
...never...never...tired listening this song with Arnel ...an immortal song because of AP😄🙏🙏🙏
A gold mine to the group Journey when they choosed Arnel with other lead singets around the world...
Thanks Beth for your brilliant reactions & comments. It's Perfection indeed. Fr. Manila.
Steve Perry was Journey. Having said that, Arnel sang this song at a level that even Steve Perry cannot rise up to right now...Arnel, you revived one of my favorite bands and did a superb job to fill a shoe so big yet the fit could not have been more perfect--Thank you!
Lisa Chambers This is from 2009, Arnel hasn’t been singing in the original key since 2012 and uses guide vocals so that he can jump around on stage. Arnel can’t even sing like this in 2019 even at lowered key, so don’t even compare him to Steve Perry who’s the GOAT. He also didn’t fill Steve Perry’s shoes because he can’t even sing the whole Journey catalog-hard songs like Mother Father. The band hires a backup lead singer to help him out.
@Lisa Chambers Arnel’s voice totally degraded especially last year in Vegas when he really tried to sing in original key. Band lowered key 8 years ago. Perry sounds amazing singing acapella at age 70+ with no autotune.
Most of the haters out there like these two in here just seem so fixated with arguing how "oh Steve Perry was better because etc. etc." It's absolutely disappointing how some can get so triggered just bcuz "oh he's not my favorite singer" or "oh the original was better." Bitch we know that even if u dont tell us but can't u just sit down and stop discrediting another person's talent just bcuz the original did it better?
I have not heard this before...fantastic!
For a comparison it would be rather great to hear your reaction and review of Journey's Mother Father from this very same concert. It is sang by Deen Castronovo, who used to be the drummer of Journey back then. Doing a Steve Perry classic while playing drums - can't get much more challenging.
I just encounter this channel and thanks for featuring arnel pineda ..🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭good luck this channel 👍👍👍
He’s done a terrific job replacing Steve Perry, that has got to be one of the hardest jobs ever.
One of - but Adam Lambert has the hardest.
Fadrique Fonseca he didn’t fill Steve Perry’s shoes. He has another singer helping him with the lead vocals.
@@lucidam7722 really? i didn't know that? like some kind of a backup guy singing on the backline and arnel is just following his lead? Is that what you mean?
Sei Yamato no, they share lead vocals, Arnel doesn’t sing all the songs, he gets breaks and this other singer sings instead of Arnel (Deen Castronovo used to do this in the past). Journey just hired Jason Derlatka to fill this role for the upcoming tour with the Pretenders. Jason will also be the 2nd keyboard player on stage.
restituto rebucas Steve Perry joined Journey in 1977 and he replaced Robert Fleischman who was lead singer in Journey for a few months. I don’t know who you’re referring to at all. Arnel was hired in 2007.
Arnel’s voice is not only amazing but his stage presence is unique! A true artist! Can’t wait to hear his own song! Forever a fun!
Loved your reaction coach, react "Show must go on" Arnel & friends with Elisa Furr. Arnel is now 52 and he still got it, new sub here.
Everytime arnel ❤️ im literally crying right now everytime i hear your voice 😭
