Yeah, I called you out.

This is damn respectable.

Ouch. That wasn't one of Arnel's finer moments. Was this when he was unwell?

I'm gonna get torn the hell up if I comment honestly.
It was better in Cleveland.
The re-record sucks dog ass. Not an easy song to nail.

But wow... a thread titled for me... that was worth it.

What was wrong with that clip? Sounded fine to me.

It didn't sound like 1981.

Forgive FF's shortsightednes. That was one of Arnels best stabs at SIL.

I may be shortsighted but you would need to be tone deaf not to hear that the usually reliable Arnel was totally off pitch/key/whatever many times throughout that particular performance.

Now Arnel is a tremendous singer but that clip does him absolutely no justice. It was just a bad performance and anyone with a working set of ears should be able to detect the fact that it was sub par for Arnel who sounded like he was channeling tapegate era Augeri. My guess is he was ill.

Listening to Dokken's new album seems to have lowered your threshold for quality vocal work.

Aww, everyone has an off night, and it's crap when some bugger films/records it and posts it up for the world to see.

ouch some of that is painful.
But Arnel is cool.

After watching Bon Jovi /Sugarland last night, that clip was painful.

Thank goodness it's not just me.

I'm not qualified to comment because I have not listened to or compared boots or youtubes from this tour other than the random video that gets posted here and only if its something I might be interested in (i.e. Deen's Still They Ride clip....)... but from what I have heard of Arnel on Stone In Love, you're choice of the word 'stab' was spot on.

This is nothing against Arnel. Its just not a song that fits him. That's ok, though. It happens. And before anyone says jack shit to me about how I am just picking on Arnel because he isn't Perry, or something stupid.... that is not the case. And before any of the P haters show up and say "ok, so you think Perry can get out there and do it any better?" (can I predict this place or what?) my answer is 1) he ain't doing so, so it doesn't matter and 2) I wouldn't know first hand, but no, probably not. I'll leave #3 out because I'll get attacked and because its totally loon sounding.

To be fair, Arnel has done this song great justice many, many times. The video is really a very bad indicator of his ability to sing that particular number.
