Anyway, I was flipping through channels and I don't even watch the show, but I heard somebody say Steve Perry and I had to go back and watch and it was Steve Perry and he told one of the singers who sang Don't Stop Believin' that she did a great job. That's all. He didn't sing or anything. He just surprised the singer.

Remember, allegedly SP gets paid as if he is on the stage. Is it unreasonable to think that he gets a higher percentage if they sell out every night? Food for thought.
JourneyHard wrote:Herbie Herbert said all five members of Journey always got paid the same. So, that is 20% each. Then Perry kicks Ross and Smith out of the band, and suddenly he is getting 33% along with Jon and Neal. Then he forces them to cut him in for a payday for all future tours when he is sitting at home. That is even better. If this is all true, Perry might be the smartest one of them all.

Interesting theory, TNC! However there is no mention during this segment of the Journey tour, and I doubt if anyone (even in Idol world) would expect to see Steve or the Idol contestant make a special appearance on the tour. So I don't see the tour benefitting that much from this.
My hunch would be that he appeared to get his name and face back into the public eye for some reason, especially for those who watch Idol and purchase today's music, but may not be familiar with him personally.
I guess we shall see...

How does Shazam work? Do they have to program songs into it? I am thinking it cannot know new songs unless they are programmed in.
