As a singer myself, looking back and minding Journey's songs, Open Arms is a song that is too difficult to sing. Altho it is quite simple to listen but the variation of the notes is hard to sing if the singer isn't methodical. I never heard someone sings this pc as perfect as close of Steve Perry as Arnel. I heard his 2008 version and I had a goosebumps and even cried. Open Arms in that moment when Arnel sung it, my high school days started to get back in memory one by one. My huge respect to Arnel. He gave me back some memories of my teenage life that I cherished through the years adding that watching a drummer having a solo do amazed me. I once part of a big band and a solo drums always been the highlight of our show every night as he was blindfolded while doing his thing on the drums. W/ that everyone couldn't help but to stopped whatever they're doing and watched and this is why I stopped too from leaving this video. At his age, it's a wow!
You cannot please everybody. Arnel is 50+ yrsold batlling with asthma..its not a joke to play in a band thats famous all over the world, journey is a rock n roll hall of famer band, for me he is the best he is a filipino and im proud of it.. keep rockin idol kumpare

the best band ever ....we love you journey band....my mother extend her warmest regards and prayer to the member of JOURNEY BAND ..specially ARNEL the pinoy favorite rock star singer...
I've watch him since his debut on Journey. Excellent and versatile. He sings everything. Find his online performances. Just everything. Aerosmith, Queen, etc...
His voice is just stressed sometimes due to successive concerts but that doesn't mean weakness, it's normal especially for high pitched singers - mabuhay ang pinoy
Arnel keeps Journey alive. He's a Godsend & an amazing talent. No one else could have stepped into that group or Steve's shoes as respectfully or as brilliantly as Arnel. He makes me proud.
If not becouse of Arnel Journey band will be lost its popularity., accept it most of them knows how to play instrument but to sing high notes doubt it and they really worked Arnel to death. I hope that he is treated fairly.
God bless ARNEL PINEDA as he continues to bring so much joy and happiness to millions of Journey fans all over the world. This humble and gifted artist is truly a selfless and kind soul. We love him so much and so inspired about his life story. Take care of Arnel, Journey guys. More power to you, Journey!
I guess Im randomly asking but does any of you know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
COVID cancelled the concert in Charlotte, NC which my wife and I were supposed to go to. I can't wait to see and hear this brother sing. Man- what a voice he has- it just gets better and better!
I've been looking all over RU-vid, listening to all kinds of covers... but I cant seem to find anybody who can do Journey justice still... only person til THIS DAY.... Arnel..
I love Jonathan's piano solos where he plays snippets of melodies of their popular songs. It's like listening to a love story and I feel like I'm sailing through time of their journey all these years. Arnel sounds great even after a decade. I'm a fan forever. Can't wait to see the J boys in May!

Just totally amazing how he can kept belting those hard songs, and lasting the longest with Journey, when others had to nurse their vocal chords by now!!!!
Man- when Arnel started to sing "Faithfully" I was reading the comments and I thought I was hearing the young Steve Perry. This was a great video and the sound quality was superb! Thank you for putting this up on RU-vid!

There is only one Steve Perry, but Arnel Pineda fills in the big shoes left by Steve in order for Journey to relive the beautiful music that gives hope to all of us amidst this pandemic.
Arnel Pineda is The Man of the Journey NOW! No more SP but AP as he said still have a Big respect to SP and he AP still a big Fan of him to SP.That's the real of being a man.
Arnel is the TOP male vocalist right now... name me ONE person who can sing Journey currently like he does? and then you have to do it for TWO weeks every night non-stop
Indeed, Arnel has been singing journey for about 10 years now. They've been on tour every year. Even Steve Perry praise and thank Arnel at the Hall of Fame for singing journey songs.
Seriously? Arnel is a cheap Karoke copy cat singer. He will NEVER equal Steve Perry......who by the way gets paid more than more than Arnel because Arnel just sings what is put in front of him ad writes or produces nothing.
Of course you can't pleased everybody, they have their own belief but I think if it's not the majority of the people many now love Arnel P. because he is the present lead vocalist of the band. He has a talent that can rarely hard to find that's why he is the chosen one.
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 👏👏👏👏 Arnel is also the only one that sings like Sting, also sings well any kind of song and he has done more with his money helping children to have an opportunity in life. He a great singer, great human being, he is complete.
2017? I saw a vid of Arnel with a not so good performance but, damn! This vid washed away all my doubts. His voice is still amaaaaazing! He sings a lot for Journey these past years, I guess the vid I watched is him being still human, he's just tired. Glad he still has the golden voice.
I was blessed to get free tickets 6th row center for one of their limited shows at the HR. Seeing them do Frontiers and Escape back to back was insane! Next to seeing them with SP Frontiers tour this was most memorable show.
While watching the couple up front I noticed a dramatic arc unfolding through out the show. During the climax of don't stop believin', she leans over to her bf/husband and says I love you and gives him a peck. Then at the end of the show, Jonathon Cain tosses a pick right in front of them and the security guy picks it up and hands it to them. Certainly, a night to remember! Journey and Arnel sound great! Thnx for the upload. :)
He hits a few flats but his voice is still in good shape at his age now. Thing is, it's quite difficult to sing with bands around you hearing all the sneers, guitars adlibing to it's highest notes without saying it's an open air venue so to Arnel, you rock man. I knew how difficult that is.
Kahit isang beses sa isang buwan na concert.. okay na yan.. para maka pahinga naman boses mo my labs Arnel.. hingin mo yan sa mga tatay mo jn sa journey.
