The wig is distracting, but he did a good job, especially on Faithfully and DSB.

Probably a wig, but wouldn't it be cool if Jim put this guy on some of his songs...

Wow, he almost gets that one dead on.
He can sing pretty well the later Journey catalog but maybe not so well the earlier tunes

as for Jim...I like Alex's voice
it's unique & different & he has his own signature sound rather than that of someone else.

That is really good!!
He must have really studied SP very closely, he walks like him, stands like him and
uses his hands like him :shock: ....I wish they would show a close up!! :wink:

MG, if you click on the song, he has quite a few on YouTube also right there. A couple are closer shots, but I can't remember the songs b/c I looked at so many.

This one needs some work & up close the resemblance is not all that much & he may be wearing a wig.

Still on many of these he really takes you back to the early Journey days.

Open Arms is quite good

I noticed that too it's not just the voice. you can see it in how he stands, and especially in the hand positions. Very much like SP.

Reminds me more of Jimi Jamison or Joe Lynn Turner than espee.

He is better than the AI usual. I would like to hear him play those songs with a band. I think he could cover many bands like JSS.

Ok now for some feedback
:lol: \

I'd like to hear him natural mic'd
he's got some serious reverb on this one & it';s almost like he's singing in an echo chamber
Still he's very good just like to hear his natural vibrato

He really is amazing even if he turns down the reverb in

yup... he really needs to record better... his voice is buried in the room...

Don't know how much is him singing or lipsynching myself.

As for looks, could have been a wig and to me the shape of the face was different even at a distance.

In the end, my advice would be "if you've got talent...quit trying to be Steve Perry and be yourself". :)

Yes, very true. Good voice, though it does sound like he's singing through an echo chamber (It's cheating IMO). Like to her his natural voice hey. Arnel sounds like that on some of the re-done classics, doesn't sound natural at all, it's actually pretty annoying to be honest, because when you hear him sing LIVE, sounds totally different.

The reverb is too much, but he sounds great. At least I can tell what he's saying, diction-wise.

Arnel can't sing the earlier tunes very well either. No one can ever match the original.

Hee hee.
What was that?

I have reverb and I'm damn sure going to use it? :shock:

Way too much.
Spoiled it for me. Sorry.

Sorry...not so good. Classic case of "I sound so much better with reverb" where in reality.... yikes. Arnel has nothing to worry about. ;)
