  • I’m one of the original fans of journey since it’s creation l love the the voice of Steve perry, and I didn’t expect that I love more arnel’s voice. Journey forever.
  • Arnel is the humblest of people and knows the meaning of respect. I’m a big fan of his talent.
  • Now that he is famous, he should keep humble, kind & prayerful. He should learn to invest his money because we will never know what life brings. Save, trust & consult good people. Make sure people don’t fool you & take advantage of you. God has a good plan for your life. Shout out for Arnel, we are proud of you.❤️🙏🏼👍🏽

    I'm happy for both Arnel and Journey that they found each other and that Journey is enjoying this resurgence. I hadn't even thought about Journey since the '80s, but hearing about Arnel last year made me want to check out their music again. To the fans who just can't get over the fact that Arnel is not Steve Perry, Steve doesn't even want to be in the band. Even if he came back, there's no guarantee that he would sound the same (he probably won't at his age).

    Journey was revived by Arnel and now they sound better than ever. Thank you Arnel for keeping journey alive.

    Funny because it was thanks to this song "Don't stop believing" which I managed to pass my driver's license test! :D I played that song in the background when I had my practical exam day in the car with the driver examinator from the government. I think my examinator liked my song too haha! :D It gained my confidence I stopped being nervous. It became the best driving experience I ever got even though we had a snow storm that day and I really had to look out for all the dangers on the road and full of traffic everywhere. So Don't stop believing - you will be the memory of the rest of my life!

    Bottom line is whether or not you like Arnel Pineda, Journey chose him, he's singing and doing well and no amount of hate or smack talk will or has stopped him. So, use your energy to do something constructive in life. If Neal Schon and Johnathon Cain like him, that's good enough.

    Go Arnel! I don't care what they say about you. YOu are part of Journey now. If they can't move on, they should get lost.

  • @pcmozingo
    I have read a lot of opinions about Journey and Arnel, but this the very best yet.
  • @rachie14
    Guys just chill out for a second. Arnel was blessed to have been able to join Journey. And even after he has joined, Arnel has not tried to over-dominate the old Steve Perry. As a matter of fact, he has said himself, Steve is his hero. So what's with all this competitive nonsense? Arnel is a PERFORMER in the band JOURNEY. So what if they sing the old hits. It's still their hits with or without Perry. If there is ever an artist that can match Perry, then go contact Neil. I'm sure he'd love that!
  • @neoworld79
    @4funthings Ive not heard many journey songs, and glee infact took me to listening more of this music, being in Malaysia and bening an artist, all of us here can really relate to Arniel and we just thank God for bringing these 2 forces from wither sides of the world, ...

    REALITY CHECK: I love Journey with Steve Perry. He is their best lead singer. But now he doesn't want to be in the band anymore. He doesn't want to sing anymore. It's probably because he is already old (he is 61 years old now). Now, if any of you is upset why Journey still wanted to revive the band despite the fact that Steve Perry can't be with them, and to you out there who says that they shouldn't have come back, THEN YOUR BEEF IS WITH THE ORIGINAL BAND MEMBERS, not with ARNEL, ok?
  • @MrJustme2009
    The new Journey and Arnel Pineda keeps me sleepless for weeks and usually sexy skimpy women on youtube can only sometimes do that to me!
  • @NEAPULA
    this man from Bulgaria is fantastic !
  • @punzalan7
    Watch Journey on OPRAH show on 10/02/09. Wooo, hooo!!! Way to go Journey!!! What's next? David Letterman show or Superbowl half-time?
  • @magnetmo
    @rachie14 ...means he considers Arnel a potential threat to rival Steve's success with Journey. I love Steve and nobody can ever replace him. Steve is Steve. But Arnel is doing great too right now and just seeing them having a good, strong comeback says something about this new lineup. If nostevenojourney really loves Journey as he claims, he should be happy of their success. I always tell him: Steve is not Journey, he's just a part of it. But I guess there's no convicing a crazy guy hehehe...
  • @lanimar3417
    Steve WAS the voice. Arnel has sang new songs with Journey. Maybe you should try hearing the new songs in the Revelations album. And the management of Journey has hired him to 'copy cat'. But he is using his own VOICE no less and style. And Arnel's voice had been noticed. Steve has stop singing because he knows IS tired and old. And imagine all the effort and time you have taken to even bother commenting harhly on Arnel. It only meant Arnel's presence has affected you too.
