Arnel by far is one the best vocalist that ever emerge in Asia , He is beginning to established his singing career here in USA but the problem is no matter how good you are , people criticize where you came from, who you are, what you are . Arnel has an amazing talent and some people just cant accept the fact that he can really compete with best singers out there.
@@josedanilosimpliciano4077 please don’t forget to Thank you Noel Gomez..he uploaded all 60 videos of AP until the wee hours of the night and when uploading still a challenge at the beginning of U Tube…without his effort APs talent could have gone unnoticed…
"God freaking Bless America. Arnel's the real Rock Star.. by show end, most of the 18k fans forgot Perry. "With perfect pitch, power & amazing resonance, Arnel floored the crowd. He's an American rock star w/a swooning crowd hanging on his perfectly tenored voice. He can carry an even higher pitch than Perry's trademark wail. He merges a F. Mercury smoothness with a D. Roth rocker style. Arnel had eclipsed Perry in both talent & enthusiasm" J. Blevins, Denver Post at sold-out concert
I love this song especially if it is sung by Arnel. Here in Chile, and there are many people who love the music of Journey that Arnel only sings in this band, the feeling that puts the singing does not compare with anything heard before Arnel Grande!
PWired review con't: "For two hours, Arnel's awesome tenor voice was in perfect pitch, hitting all the high notes & delivered powerful renditions of the classics & their new songs. Couple that with his fist pumps, high kicks, spinning, twirling & running from stage left to stage right & back, Arnel never let up to the end, completely at ease. He is more confident than ever before. Journey played solidly and were totally in sync throughout the concert."
I think the reason why we're so addicted to arnel's videos is because everytime he sings he pours out his heart and soul in every word of the song and he gives his all to perform the song well. I congratulate you, arnel!!! You're one of the lucky ones...you don't only get to do the thing that you obviously love, you get paid for it too!!!
Oh my goodness, I accidentally saw this video and it was a WOW performance of Arnel Pineda-- What an incredible talent this guy got, and this video was even BEFORE joining Journey as frontman !! NO Wonder N Schon the iconic N Schon of Journey pinpoint right away that HE FOUND the GUY for Journey as Lead singer the moment he saw approx 40 videos of Arnel singing -- that's how he was found--by YT !! Journey got the jackpot when they saw Arnel Pineda-- AP deserved it--now, he has been a frontman for Journey for 15 YEARS and counting !!Can't wait to see Journey LIVE Concert again soon in Florida, this April 2022 !! Journey with AP rocks!
Ruben Nepales, Phil. Daily Inquirer "The LA crowd was constantly on its feet, cheered & whistled its appreciation for Arnel & Journey. Due to huge demand, a 2nd show was added & both were quick SOLD OUTS! Blessed w/a powerful voice, a higher pitch than SP & able to sustain difficult notes, Arnel instantly proved he deserved the lead vocalist spot & turning out to be the most effective & successful. The crazed fans smiled appreciatively at Arnel as his solid voice reverberated."
I tried...I really tried to look for other videos to watch but I keep coming back to yours. I've seen these soooo many times but they never get old! Your voice is so captivating, AP!
Me still watching 2024 and wow Arnel never ceases to amaze me with his voice and you reallly can feel the meaning of the song. What a gifted beautiful soul❤
Wow, Thank you Arnel, John is the best singer to ever happen in Australia, truly world class, and the world missed it. You nail it so well, you're now an onrey aussie ;-) Hopefully I see you next time I'm in the filo's. My wife n kids are there, and I get there at least four times a year. Also I enjoy going around and helping out the old and disabled. We have a great time, the smiles and gratitude are worth every cent xo Thank you for being such an inspiration
I used to think only John Farnham could do this song... until I stumbled into this! You have such a beautiful range. I just wish that you could have one original hit song that could truly ever be yours. You deserve a hit, man.
No matter what old song he sings, he brings such a freshness and passion with it, til you can appreciate the original singer but fall in love with AP's vocals and version..the more you listen, the more you want to hear...the man is amazing.
WOW! All I can say is WOW! FINALLY Journey (one of my favorite bands in the world) has a singer again. Not since Perry has anyone been able to really fill in that spot (Augeri did an ok job, but he was all studio, like he couldn't hack it). This guy...THIS guy is the REAL DEAL. I can't wait to hear the new CD!! Best of luck man, it's a dream come true for you I'm sure!
His voice has been like that eversince since he started & actually even gotten better. While most prominent vocalists couldn't sing their own songs in the original key anymore or their throat is not just at its best anymore, Arnel has honed & mastered & perfected his vocal techniques/skills over the years. And only God-gifted talents with good intentions like him can do that. He is indeed 1 in a billion.
all i can say bout this dude!HES ONE OF A KIND! what a great gift from God he had!!! and ive noticed hes not just singing by himself.but singing his songs with emotion...GALING NG TLGA NG PINOY!
this is a god given talent,full of emotion,very soulful and its coming from the heart.After listening to Arnel,I dont want to listen to anybody else...
"Journey's new singer has fans 'Believin'" "Pineda's movements, facial expressions & vocal delivery .. got the job done & the thousands of fans weren't disappointed.

Indeed "the incredible pipes of their Filipino lead singer"... Arnel as admired by main industry commentator Bob Lefsetz
another strong performance by arnel. with just the keyboard playing as background, arnel's good voice quality and power are easily noticed in this song. magaling, mahusay talaga.
Most people don't understand or refuse to understand that what Arnel does is not that easy. I mean, can you believe this guy's throat? Imagine, he's the only vocalist & he sings all these high songs esp. these "HEART" songs WITH EASE. Not putting so much effort & yet the voice leaves such a strong impression. And that, almost every night for like 2-3 hours or more of singing. This guy has a SUPERTHROAT!!!
He can change his high soaring voice smooth or raspy in any song he sing. Amazing voice it's a God given talent for us to enjoy. Bravo! Arnel, cant wait to see you Live in Concert here in Houston TX.
ABSOLUTELY Beautiful Arnel... your voice is AMAZING and gives me chills literally... and SO GLAD you brought my #1 FAV band "back", Journey... you guys ROCK ON!
Indeed, life's a big Journey. We're vibrant w/J-symphony. Flyin high w/the Journey merriment. Old & new Gens, all as 1...God-sent. We all share the Journey fun fling We celebrate as our hearts sing Life's what we make it & we do. We got J-excitement in full view
this pinoy has a great voice,awesome passion in singing,raw talent indeed,it would really blow me away if someone would say that he has no formal training in music or voice lessons before..!!!!
(Honorary & ex 49ers famed) Rock Reporter Brent Jones, KNBR (SF) radio said: "The Journey SOLD OUT show was spectacular! Arnel IS truly Incredible. It's tough to replace the distinctive SP but Arnel has unbelievable pipes. "He's remarkable & actually have more range than SP. "He completely rejuvenated the band with lots of energy. Arnel has the true perfomer blood in him. I PREDICT the ride of Journey with a major, major impact. He's Unbelievable!!"
Damn.... Arnel's voice is like Tsunami. It will leave your heart in the state of calamity. Cutting my nerves in pieces. Burn me into ashhhhh... that's how powerful his voice with deep emotion. Never knew what's the meaning of this song till I watched this version.. so deep...
@@rosli2869 hahaha ako naman opposite! I just found him in Twitter haha. Nakaka addict yong boses niya grabeh! Gumawa talaga ako ng fan account for him at iba din sa boys natin haha
Arnel Pineda is already a legend in the LIVE BANDS music scene in the Philippines. Well-respected & a natural-born talent. I've never met him personally but my brother & his band did esp. during the AMO Band years & only heard great & overwhelming things about him. I just saw him singing a "HEART" song while passing by this club one time & I was totally blown away. It's true what they say about him. IMPAKTO talaga, 'ika nga. Mala-out of this world baga.
Ipresionante, primera vez que escucho cantar con tanta pasion y sentimiento , me emociona escucharlo cantar, sin duda alguna lo mejor que escuchado en años...
Adam Graham, Detroit News: "Arnel Pineda is a smart choice. His wide-eyed earnestness fits in well with the band, whose sincerity & lack of pretense has always been a major selling point." Arnel delivered vocally. Journey still has considerable muscle & sounded like a certified rock powerhouse that really got the audience pumping its fists. Pineda was able to capably fill those big shoes left for him by Perry, & the audience was treated to a deft 1-2-3 punch of power ballad heaven."
I have a feeling that those who are posting negative comments are his fellow Filipino musicians/artists feeling that they've been robbed somehow by Arnel. crab mentality.....
Industry Expert Review by Freddie Woods, MelodicRock: "Arnel hit every note with such power and passion he had the crowd eating out of his hand. If you closed your eyes you would have sworn it was Steve Perry from the Escape tour." "His voice is THAT strong. ... "The crowd went insane. It was the loudest roar of the night. I believe there will be no stadium large enough to hold them. This was a night I will NEVER EVER forget."
Keep on listening, sarap Kasi pakinggan NG voice mo💞💞😊😊👏👏god is so good talaga biniyayaan ka NG gintong boses. Take care of that. And stay humble. God bless🙏🙏
"A potent brew of crowd-pleasing hits, dynamic showmanship... Arnel proved a worthy successor.. with his continual leaping, spinning & mic flipping. Fans welcomed him with open arms, his wide smile, indefatigable stage presence & passionate performances won over any detractors. Most everyone was singing along, waving their arms, bobbing their heads and shouting along with the classic rockers." BAM, NewsOKdot com at a a sell-out crowd of 10,000 fans at the Zoo Amp.(Okla).
"The Journey of Arnel Pineda "My respect for them has grown enormously. It's because they choose Arnel from total obscurity. Even a hardened old critic like myself is a sucker for a rags to riches story. This one is of particular interest to me because dammit, this guy can SING, really can sing. Revelation with Arnel is "edgier" than most of their previous stuff. The world wins, Arnel will be huge! Rock n Roll really is the last remaining street of dreams." PatrickHawkeDOTcom
it was his mimicking style Neil Schon discover Arnel P.no doubt he is a great singer with an amazing voice an amazing talent..with that style he become famous..Hurray for AP
"mang jaime" is so amazing isn't he guys?he still insists he knows everything..he has so much hatred in his heart,or maybe envy? I am not singer, but a good listener, I can tell by simply listening to high octaves and powerful vibratos,this pinoy is good....
K. Swindell, Greenville Daily Reflector NC at SOLD OUT concert: "Pineda's vocals are eerily similar to SP & hit every high note with precision. It was an action-packed performance as Arnel bounded from one side of the stage to the other, engaging the crowd while singing. The whole show had cell phones, glo sticks and lighters raised throughout the venue. And with the new songs, Journey may just be adding some new classics to their repertoire that's been rocking since 1975."
CantStopRockinDOTcom con't: "As Arnel was introduced as the thrill from Manila, there was a sea of people with cell phones & lighters lit up, swaying to the music. It was a beautiful sight. Music is so powerful and it can bring people together especially the old & new Journey fans. With the packed frenzied crowd, this was an incredible show. Arnel is a wonderful addition to Journey & he is having the time of his life."
Dan Stubbs, Manchester Evening News UK: "One thing was very clear: Arnel Pineda has a considerable set of pipes. Journey is a tight unit, with an arsenal of songs that range from power rock to power pop & even the occasional power ballad. Each song comes as a life-affirming blaze of glory. After the 2-hour set, most of the audience were smiling as widely as Pineda. It's a rarity for many US bands, but the concert got rock icons Brian May, Chris Squires & Jimmy Page in attendance"
Time Magazine article continued: "The band's traditional fanbase is mostly white and American, and some are upset that Pineda is neither. "Journey is supposed to be an all-American band," one fan wrote in an online forum. But as more people hear Pineda's truly stunning voice, the number of critics is likely to be drowned out by a roar of support. "It's a reminder to all of us: don't stop believing."
MediaSpecDOTcom at SOLD OUT SHOW: "Journey Triumphantly Returns. It's the next evolution of Journey, and now Arnel Pineda brings a classic feel with some new energy. It's the best they've been since Steve Perry. It was all topped off by Arnel's masterful vocal work & one of his more powerful performances. The Wilson sisters & Heart even dedicated one of their biggest hits, "These Dreams" to new Journey singer, Arnel Pineda."
MetalExpressRadio review: "Arnel at the helm is exceptional! "He protrudes quick a bit more energy on stage which gives the live setting a much needed injection of adrenaline! His exquisite melodic vocals exude an "eternal optimist" musical aura." "For the majority of die-hard Journey fans Revelation should definitely be a welcome addition. It has an upbeat melody & infectious hook-line which results in a "feel good" songs. It's a "no-brainer" must buy for all Journey fans!!! "
Music Critic Kevin Johnson, St Louis POST-DISPATCH at SOLD OUT SHOW: "Arnel Pineda, the diminutive dynamo was quickly embraced by the fans and Journey knew what they were up to in bringing him on. The key to Pineda is that vocally he's a near dead ringer for the soulful Perry. Close your eyes and that's Perry again on the classic songs. But what's also interesting is that on the new songs, Pineda manages to carve out his own unique identity."
Right on ArnelsGirl.. The positive music industry reviews keep coming from around the world... Journey's new Revelation and lineup with exciting Arnel Pineda: "THE BEST Journey album in 25 years." Howard Cohen, Miami Herald
The only male singer I know that can sing "HEART" songs in the original key!!! Daig pa nga niya 'yung ibang female vocalists that tries to sing "ALONE" or "WHAT ABOUT LOVE". I've listened to almost every song he has here on RUclips & couldn't believe this guy's vocal skills. Be it Aerosmith, Bryan Adams, Air Supply, TOTO, etc. YOU NAME IT, HE CAN SING IT!!!
What's more unbelievable is the 1:1 copy of Steve Perry's voice. It's really Steve Perry's voice in every aspect & technique. It's so uncanny! Arnel just added a bit more husky flavor to it now, to make it more rock-ish & soulful than Steve Perry which is a good thing.

Long time Journey-fan. I think the band sounds better than ever. Totally not missing SP. And the word battle over whos the better singer suddenly stopped .... Strange or -)) All the best ..
WOW what a Beautiful voice you have Arnel, and KUDOS for joining my FAV band Journey! I STILL love my Steve Perry, but you as well, your gig "now", so "You GO"!!!!
"Journey's uncanny new vocalist wows at Verizon" "This tireless spitfire with stringy black hair sound so eerily like Steve Perry. Words really don't do the uncanny resemblance justice. Pineda can nai, I mean flat-out perfectly nail all of Perry's helium-high notes. It's more so that he unerringly mimics everything else about his voice, the tonal qualities, the phrasing & inflections, the way it can be passionately gritty at the same time. " Ben Wener, Orange Co.(CA) Register
Journey jams... We hear all the music Faithfully. Stand with Journey wholeheartedly. We're all inspired After All These Years. Strengthen & endure we do amidst the fears. Certainly now & ever, we Don't Stop Believing. Count the blessings, life's to enjoy & worth living. Never Walk Away from your Wildest Dreams. D'xcitement glows, the passion screams! With AP/Journey, rockin' life's great. Let's DO IT, Let's celebrate!
Debbie Bennett, Express & Star, Britain's largest online newspaper: "Arnel.. a man who has just landed the best job in the world & boy did it show!" "He triumphed with a voice that matched the band's legendary singer Steve Perry note for note & a stage presence that just couldn't be resisted. "Bounding around the stage like a puppy, his enthusiasm was catching. Within seconds of the opening number Never Walk Away he had the SOLD OUT Civic (London) in the palm of his hands."

"ARNEL IS THE REAL DEAL! New lead singer Arnel Pineda worked the stage like a seasoned front-man, no small task in a steamy Florida summer night.

Journey still performs as well today as any point in their careers. This is the summer tour to beat right now. If this passes within 500 miles of you, go!" TampaBayDOTcom
S. Gibson, AllAccessMagazine at SOLD OUT Va. Beach show: "Arnel definitely commands your attention with an overwhelmingly energetic & interactive stage presence. He was jumping, interacting endlessly with all the crowd & his tornadic spinning could bring any house off its foundation. While the band was reveling with the packed crowd, Arnel returned the devotion by reaching out, shaking hands, signing autographs & embracing the fans One word for the show, AWESOME!!".
CantStopRockinDOTcom at SOLD OUT St Louis Show: "Arnel Pineda brings new life to the old Journey & his vocal abilities are amazing! The crowd loved him & gave high-fives at the front row excited crowd, ran around the stage engaging with all & jumping all over the place. Man, he can really get some air. He is so energetic, has the most captivating genuine smile & seems to be loving every minute with Journey."

ErrolsWeekly/WordPress review at Jones Beach concert: "The word for the performance of Journey was ENERGY!!! This Arnel was phenomenal. His energy on stage reminded me of a combination of Steven Tyler & David Lee Roth. Arnel really blew me away & his energy made band perform much better & pulled it off. But seriously, Journey's back in a big way & there will be no reunion with Perry- there isnt any need. Arnel has given them new life & should run with it as long as they can"
rOckOn/WordPress Review: "Journey was amazing! I was blown away. Arnel is just as cute as a button & as enthusiastic as can be. He had endless energy, bounding up & down the stage, jumping off the drum risers & doing some pretty sweet dance moves. And none of that affected his strong & clean vocals. He may be one of the best frontmen I've seen in a while. The great thing is that Journey has been able to progress musically but has never lost its signature sound or forced to change..."
Plus, I heard you are a good & humble man, Arnel. And good people deserve all the goodness & blessings in this world. This is your good Karma working to the max. So, enjoy it & use it at its fullest & stay as divine as you are. GOD BLESS!!! MaLoY (Pinay singer from Germany) - - kapatid ako ni Ton-Ton - - 'yung kabanda dati nila Joey, Ray, Angie & Albert ng XPO. Hope you still remember them, Arnel. Sinasamba ka ng mga 'to. :)
Wooohhh!! how really so good! im so proud of you AP! miss you so much! i knew you have a concert tour in philippines, if i heard this song i remember the past they make me feel like a younger age singing this song with tears..

God must have loved u so much to give u this kind of voice ......
What can I say? Can't think of any adjective to describe this rendition. Bless u, Arnel! Hats off!!!
Still watching Nov 2021 my HS first love theme song😥 Arnel’s rendition is soo superb, still keep on playing over and over😌
His voice has been like that eversince since he started &
actually even gotten better. While most prominent vocalists couldn't sing their own songs in the original key anymore or their throat is not just at its
best anymore, Arnel has honed & mastered & perfected his vocal techniques/skills over the years. And only God-gifted talents with good intentions like him
can do that. He is indeed 1 in a billion.
Good lord. He crushed it! Never heard anyone sing it on par (or better) than John Farnham before. Fantastic.
brig well
3:09 killer point 👌
During the singing, his singing got more and more emotional and wow, toward the end! I love his version better than John F's own.
As he experienced hardship in life.
all i can say bout this dude!HES ONE OF A KIND!
what a great gift from God he had!!! and ive noticed
hes not just singing by himself.but singing his songs with emotion...GALING NG TLGA NG PINOY!
Addicting voice...full of emotions.Arnel Pineda❣️
Keep on listening again, again and again till now its Nov 2018, my gosh Arnel im so inlove with your AMAZING VOICE..
Love the texture of his voice, he can sing any song and give justice to it, very talented guy💕
you can really feel the song from the soul, the voice simply like heaven, and the projection delivers the meaning of the song.

"The Journey SOLD OUT show was spectacular! Arnel IS truly Incredible. It's tough to replace the distinctive SP but Arnel has unbelievable pipes.
"He's remarkable & actually have more range than SP.
"He completely rejuvenated the band with lots of energy. Arnel has the true perfomer blood in him. I PREDICT the ride of Journey with a major, major impact.
He's Unbelievable!!"
Damn.... Arnel's voice is like Tsunami. It will leave your heart in the state of calamity. Cutting my nerves in pieces. Burn me into ashhhhh... that's how powerful his voice with deep emotion. Never knew what's the meaning of this song till I watched this version.. so deep...
Hello KAPS, nakikita kita lagi sa mga videos ni Sir Arnel nag ko comment I’m a huge fan of him as well as our boys hehhe

MyShitbags
please don't ask me why i come back again & again to view your vids, haiizzzz!!!
Arnel Pineda is already a legend in the LIVE BANDS music scene in the Philippines. Well-respected & a natural-born talent. I've never met him personally
but my brother & his band did esp. during the AMO Band years & only heard great & overwhelming things about him. I just saw him singing a "HEART" song
while passing by this club one time & I was totally blown away. It's true what they say about him. IMPAKTO talaga, 'ika nga. Mala-out of this world baga.
Ipresionante, primera vez que escucho cantar con tanta pasion y sentimiento , me emociona escucharlo cantar, sin duda alguna lo mejor que escuchado en años...
Adam Graham, Detroit News:
"Arnel Pineda is a smart choice. His wide-eyed earnestness fits in well with the band, whose sincerity & lack of pretense has always been a major selling point."
Arnel delivered vocally. Journey still has considerable muscle & sounded like a certified rock powerhouse that really got the audience pumping its fists.
Pineda was able to capably fill those big shoes left for him by Perry, & the audience was treated to a deft 1-2-3 punch of power ballad heaven."
I have a feeling that those who are posting negative comments are his fellow Filipino musicians/artists feeling that they've been robbed somehow by Arnel. crab mentality.....
Decades ago WAS a great SP-J excitement!
NOW w/Arnel mania, It's an absolute merriment.
Here we are mesmerized to Arnel-Journey addiction.
We get inspired with Arnel's dream coming to fruition.
The uplifting musical aura they radiate & amplify.
Keep our dreams and goals alive, they signify.
We unite as one for this cool celebration.
Life with Arnel/J is a sizzlin' sensation.
Hey all Let's Rock on here, there.
Whoop it we will everywhere!
ROCK ON!!
Industry Expert Review by Freddie Woods, MelodicRock:
"Arnel hit every note with such power and passion he had the crowd eating out of his hand.
If you closed your eyes you would have sworn it was Steve Perry from the Escape tour."
"His voice is THAT strong. ...
"The crowd went insane. It was the loudest roar of the night. I believe there will be no stadium large enough to hold them.
This was a night I will NEVER EVER forget."
Keep on listening, sarap Kasi pakinggan NG voice mo💞💞😊😊👏👏god is so good talaga biniyayaan ka NG gintong boses. Take care of that. And stay humble. God bless🙏🙏
"A potent brew of crowd-pleasing hits, dynamic showmanship...
Arnel proved a worthy successor.. with his continual leaping, spinning & mic flipping. Fans welcomed him with open arms, his wide smile, indefatigable stage presence & passionate performances won over any detractors.
Most everyone was singing along, waving their arms, bobbing their heads and shouting along with the classic rockers."
BAM, NewsOKdot com at a a sell-out crowd of 10,000 fans at the Zoo Amp.(Okla).
"The Journey of Arnel Pineda
"My respect for them has grown enormously. It's because they choose Arnel from total obscurity.
Even a hardened old critic like myself is a sucker for a rags to riches story. This one is of particular interest to me because dammit, this guy can SING, really can sing.
Revelation with Arnel is "edgier" than most of their previous stuff.
The world wins, Arnel will be huge! Rock n Roll really is the last remaining street of dreams."

it was his mimicking style Neil Schon discover Arnel P.no doubt he is a great singer with an amazing voice an amazing talent..with that style he become famous..Hurray for AP
"mang jaime" is so amazing isn't he guys?he still insists he knows everything..he has so much hatred in his heart,or maybe envy? I am not singer, but a good listener, I can tell by simply listening to high octaves and powerful vibratos,this pinoy is good....
Journey is back! Arnel is beyond words in their concerts.WOW!
K. Swindell, Greenville Daily Reflector NC at SOLD OUT concert:
"Pineda's vocals are eerily similar to SP & hit every high note with precision.
It was an action-packed performance as Arnel bounded from one side of the stage to the other, engaging the crowd while singing.
The whole show had cell phones, glo sticks and lighters raised throughout the venue.
And with the new songs, Journey may just be adding some new classics to their repertoire that's been rocking since 1975."
Dang in ~~~~Sooo meaningful ~~~~~beautiful rendition~~~~
CantStopRockinDOTcom con't:
"As Arnel was introduced as the thrill from Manila, there was a sea of people with cell phones & lighters lit up, swaying to the music. It was a beautiful sight.
Music is so powerful and it can bring people together especially the old & new Journey fans.
With the packed frenzied crowd, this was an incredible show.
Arnel is a wonderful addition to Journey & he is having the time of his life."
Dan Stubbs, Manchester Evening News UK:
"One thing was very clear: Arnel Pineda has a considerable set of pipes. Journey is a tight unit, with an arsenal of songs that range from power rock to power pop & even the occasional power ballad.
Each song comes as a life-affirming blaze of glory. After the 2-hour set, most of the audience were smiling as widely as Pineda.
It's a rarity for many US bands, but the concert got rock icons Brian May, Chris Squires & Jimmy Page in attendance"
Time Magazine article continued:
"The band's traditional fanbase is mostly white and American, and some are upset that Pineda is neither.
"Journey is supposed to be an all-American band," one fan wrote in an online forum.
But as more people hear Pineda's truly stunning voice, the number of critics is likely to be drowned out by a roar of support.
"It's a reminder to all of us: don't stop believing."
MediaSpecDOTcom at SOLD OUT SHOW:
"Journey Triumphantly Returns.
It's the next evolution of Journey, and now Arnel Pineda brings a classic feel with some new energy. It's the best they've been since Steve Perry.
It was all topped off by Arnel's masterful vocal work & one of his more powerful performances.
The Wilson sisters & Heart even dedicated one of their biggest hits, "These Dreams" to new Journey singer, Arnel Pineda."
MetalExpressRadio review:
"Arnel at the helm is exceptional!
"He protrudes quick a bit more energy on stage which gives the live setting a much needed injection of adrenaline! His exquisite melodic vocals exude an "eternal optimist" musical aura."
"For the majority of die-hard Journey fans Revelation should definitely be a welcome addition. It has an upbeat melody & infectious hook-line which results in a "feel good" songs. It's a "no-brainer" must buy for all Journey fans!!! "
Music Critic Kevin Johnson, St Louis POST-DISPATCH at SOLD OUT SHOW:
"Arnel Pineda, the diminutive dynamo was quickly embraced by the fans and Journey knew what they were up to in bringing him on.
The key to Pineda is that vocally he's a near dead ringer for the soulful Perry. Close your eyes and that's Perry again on the classic songs.
But what's also interesting is that on the new songs, Pineda manages to carve out his own unique identity."
Right on ArnelsGirl..
The positive music industry reviews keep coming from around the world...
Journey's new Revelation and lineup with exciting Arnel Pineda:
"THE BEST Journey album in 25 years."
Howard Cohen, Miami Herald
grabe... AMAYA
Pinoy na pinoy. astig.
parang bigla ko nangarap na sana kambal kita/ wehehehehe
Please don't ask me
what am i thinking
It's about you....Beatiful song...
The only male singer I know that can sing "HEART" songs in the original key!!! Daig pa nga niya 'yung ibang female vocalists that tries to sing "ALONE" or
"WHAT ABOUT LOVE".
I've listened to almost every song he has here on RUclips & couldn't believe this guy's vocal skills. Be it Aerosmith, Bryan Adams, Air Supply, TOTO, etc.
YOU NAME IT, HE CAN SING IT!!!
The most famous Filipino singer of all time...right there🤟🤟🤟
unga oklabs,,kasi dun me wrk un iba,,hindi na din pla ako pede magsabi proud to be pinay wahhhh,,
What's more unbelievable is the 1:1 copy of Steve Perry's voice. It's really Steve Perry's voice in every aspect & technique.
It's so uncanny! Arnel just added a bit more husky flavor to it now, to make it more rock-ish & soulful than Steve Perry which is a good thing.
Incredible! I would buy your cds.
So lucky i worked with him many times in Spindle where his band plays weekly that time..i was the lightman then..
tsk tsk tsk.. walang daya. talagang boses. galeng.

Long time Journey-fan. I think the band sounds better than ever. Totally not missing SP. And the word battle over whos the better singer suddenly stopped .... Strange or -))
All the best ..
WOW what a Beautiful voice you have Arnel, and KUDOS for joining my FAV band Journey! I STILL love my Steve Perry, but you as well, your gig "now", so "You GO"!!!!
"Journey's uncanny new vocalist wows at Verizon"
"This tireless spitfire with stringy black hair sound so eerily like Steve Perry. Words really don't do the uncanny resemblance justice. Pineda can nai, I mean flat-out perfectly nail all of Perry's helium-high notes.
It's more so that he unerringly mimics everything else about his voice, the tonal qualities, the phrasing & inflections, the way it can be passionately gritty at the same time. "
Ben Wener, Orange Co.(CA) Register
Journey jams...
We hear all the music Faithfully.
Stand with Journey wholeheartedly.
We're all inspired After All These Years.
Strengthen & endure we do amidst the fears.
Certainly now & ever, we Don't Stop Believing.
Count the blessings, life's to enjoy & worth living.
Never Walk Away from your Wildest Dreams.
D'xcitement glows, the passion screams!
With AP/Journey, rockin' life's great.
Let's DO IT, Let's celebrate!
Debbie Bennett, Express & Star, Britain's largest online newspaper:
"Arnel.. a man who has just landed the best job in the world & boy did it show!"
"He triumphed with a voice that matched the band's legendary singer Steve Perry note for note & a stage presence that just couldn't be resisted.
"Bounding around the stage like a puppy, his enthusiasm was catching.
Within seconds of the opening number Never Walk Away he had the SOLD OUT Civic (London) in the palm of his hands."

"ARNEL IS THE REAL DEAL!
New lead singer Arnel Pineda worked the stage like a seasoned front-man, no small task in a steamy Florida summer night.
Give him another two years & he'll be the face of the band. The harmonizing by the band members sent chills straight from your feet to your brain stem.
Journey still performs as well today as any point in their careers. This is the summer tour to beat right now. If this passes within 500 miles of you, go!"

If you don't like Arnel Pineda don't watch him. I hope you wake up someday and realize you like his voice too.
my favorite song ;( ang ganda ng version ni kuya arnel...feel n feel mo tlg..tagos hanggang buto...
S. Gibson, AllAccessMagazine at SOLD OUT Va. Beach show:
"Arnel definitely commands your attention with an overwhelmingly energetic & interactive stage presence.
He was jumping, interacting endlessly with all the crowd & his tornadic spinning could bring any house off its foundation.
While the band was reveling with the packed crowd, Arnel returned the devotion by reaching out, shaking hands, signing autographs & embracing the fans
One word for the show, AWESOME!!".
CantStopRockinDOTcom at SOLD OUT St Louis Show:
"Arnel Pineda brings new life to the old Journey & his vocal abilities are amazing!
The crowd loved him & gave high-fives at the front row excited crowd, ran around the stage engaging with all & jumping all over the place. Man, he can really get some air.
He is so energetic, has the most captivating genuine smile & seems to be loving every minute with Journey."

ErrolsWeekly/WordPress review at Jones Beach concert:
"The word for the performance of Journey was ENERGY!!! This Arnel was phenomenal. His energy on stage reminded me of a combination of Steven Tyler & David Lee Roth.
Arnel really blew me away & his energy made band perform much better & pulled it off.
But seriously, Journey's back in a big way & there will be no reunion with Perry- there isnt any need.
Arnel has given them new life & should run with it as long as they can"
rOckOn/WordPress Review:
"Journey was amazing! I was blown away. Arnel is just as cute as a button & as enthusiastic as can be. He had endless energy, bounding up & down the stage, jumping off the drum risers & doing some pretty sweet dance moves. And none of that affected his strong & clean vocals.
He may be one of the best frontmen I've seen in a while.
The great thing is that Journey has been able to progress musically but has never lost its signature sound or forced to change..."
Plus, I heard you are a good & humble man, Arnel. And good people deserve
all the goodness & blessings in this world. This is your good Karma working to the max. So, enjoy it & use it at its fullest & stay as divine as you are.
GOD BLESS!!!
MaLoY (Pinay singer from Germany)
- - kapatid ako ni Ton-Ton - - 'yung kabanda dati nila Joey, Ray, Angie & Albert ng XPO. Hope you still remember them, Arnel. Sinasamba ka ng mga 'to. :)
Wooohhh!! how really so good! im so proud of you AP! miss you so much! i knew you have a concert tour in philippines, if i heard this song i remember the past they make me feel like a younger age singing this song with tears..
