I agree. I can't understand why so many people feel that each lead singer this band gets NEEDS to sound at least a little like Perry! When a band I like gets a replacement, my expectations for that person are to take that band's sound and make it their own and bring their own unique artistic qualities to it. This is what Jeff did, and apparently it scared the bejesus out of the rest of the guys. He's too good for them, and they knew it. If they are content to be a tribute band, then let them. Summer is here and there are lots of county fairs in need of entertainment!
