It's Only Make Believe (AI)

Artificial Intelligence has made a Journey song. Is this the future of Journey? I hope not. The song is horrible. Their version of Steve Perry is just plain terrible. Steve Perry needs to come back. Perry can still sing better than this AI attempt.

This is not a Journey AI written song. It is a Gregg Rollie solo song with AI Perry vocals...the music is even sampled from the original.

The original, which I have always liked a lot:

Haven't heard that song in a long time. Vocals don't even sound like Perry, more like Greg with a bad cold. lol

Really enjoyed that album from Gregg back in the day. Sad someone is attempting to butcher it.

If you pull it out and read the YouTube description...it is somebody saying that this could have been a Journey song if they fired Jonathan and hired Gregg in his place and continued with the "Freedom album...and that Neal already did the guitar on the Gregg Version of the song. I guess it is an OK point but you could say that about any of the songs on Gregg's album...they are all great, IMO.

The text from YouTube:
"A "journeyfied" reimagination of one of the tracks from Gregg Rolie's 1985 eponymous debut LP which happens to feature Neal Schon on guitar. Put Steve Perry's voice in and you get something that could be sourced from the scrapped sessions of the unreleased 1985 "Freedom" album, had Jon been kicked from the band in favour of Gregg's return. "

The Gregg Rolie version must be better than this. And why do they say this should be a Journey song? If it has Gregg and Neal on it, the two founding members of Journey, it is already a Journey song!
