I see things a bit differently. I think Jeff has a fairly smooth delivery. While I think he DOES, as you say, "pour every ounce of his being into his voice," I don't think his face is bursting with veins as someone allude to earlier. Rather, I think Jeff's tremendous range and technique actually make SOME of the Journey catalog appear easy for him to sing. I always thought Augeri was straining and I think Deen does on Open Arms and Faithfully. But only singing two songs doesn't have the repercussions a whole night and tour would. And Deen does a pretty fantastic job with the 2 songs he routinely sings.
