Dave vs. Jimi vs. Robin (EOTT)

I just go Robin and Jimi's versions of "Eye of the Tiger" and played them back to back along with Dave's original.

Weird.

I felt like I was at karaoke night. I guess it's just too many guys trying to recreate something that was a very precious moment in time.

I want to give Robin a chance, I really do, but it's hard. It's so different. It's not the Survivor I know and love. I love Dave's version, and I grew to love Jimi's. But Robin? I don't know yet.

Jimi and Dave has a lot of similarities in their voices. So when one came or the other, changes were few (Jimi can sing higher but Dave made great performances on Jimi's stuff during his comeback 1993-1999).
Robin has a very different voice, and don't act to sing as Jimi or Dave, Robin's singing Survivor's songs with his style. It's really different.
As Journey has now a great frontman with Jeff Scot Soto as lead singer (Steve Augeri was singing too closely to Steve Perry's voice), Survivor with Robin really sounds different, that's the new challenge!

Dave and Jimi have VERY little in common vocally if anything other than they both were great in the band. Each were completely different singers and both great in there own right. They sound nothing allike so, I don't know what your thinking is there, maybe you need to re-listen to CITG and then VS's or get your ears checked??

I like dave best...Robin? It's far too soon as he's just joined what 9 months ago? give him 2 albums b4 u compare.

The Dave version. It's just quintessential. His sound fit that record PERFECTLY.

Two albums? Two? OK, Frankie will be in his 80's when that happens, but I'm game. "Survivor X" in 2031, ETA.

now come on 7, Frankie is in the studio as we speak...laying down tracks, he has over 2,023, 123.54 songs written for the next album that will hopefully be coming out tomorrow...it's just hard when you are the hardest working band in the world - did i mention he personally knows Tommy Shaw?

If I'm not mistaken didn't Survivor Fan 2005 say that he has information that they are working on an album?
