The crowd seems to be eating 'Faithfully' up.

There are some things I can take out of this stream and appreciate, but Faithfully is a train wreck.

He sings it really low. Don't know why, just sounds jacked up.

He sounded really good on Be Good To Yourself, but he sounds awful on Faithfully. How far tuned down are they playing this song?

How can you be so good on Open Arms and then just fucking destroy Faithfully? I have never heard him sing that song well.

It's not great, but not awful; I've heard clips of Perry singing it in '94, so.... :lol:

In top form vocally now. He sure sounded burnt early on.

OA isn't as lyrically 'complex' as Faithfully, he has more opportunity to fuck up the tempo on Faithfully.

See "I" did not even utter the name....you did.

Stop causing trouble...I am here listening with an open mind, and Faithfully was awful.

He seems to be doing a Stevie Nicks impersonation. His voice bounces up and down so much, I'm starting to feel seasick.

I fully expect Foreigner to keep slaying Journey night in night out for the remainder of the tour...Kelly is just light years ahead of Arnel talent-wise.....

I thought it was ridiculously bad at the end. He sounded horrible. Maybe time to let Deen sing this one.
