Sure, Arnel comes close, but at least Chalfant writes his own shit.
He is a natural.
Journey fucked up in a major way.

Journey f'd up in a major way.

Your support of Chalfant for the job always is bolstered by mention of Herbie Herbert's "personal pick" for Perry's replacement, but you do realize that the replacement Herbie was talking about was circa 1985, right?

Jeremy and Arnel are obviously the best choice for The Escape and beyond material. When I listen to the vocals on the rerecords or here the audio on Jeremy's clips, him and Arnel have such strong high vocals compared to this guy it's like a collegiate against the pro's. Maybe he had more of a high range in the early eighties but there is nothing here to prove it and to me at least Journey music has always been about the tenor sound.

You’re wrong.
Like Augeri before him on Vegas 2001, Fly2Freedom showcases a soaring tenor covering the classics while relating them in his own way. The similarities to Perry are natural.
Arnel, on the other hand, is practically imitating Perry’s delivery on some of these tracks and reciting them phonetically.
And while Herbie did concede in Andrew’s interview that Chalfant’s creeping age may be a factor, he also said this on the topic of Kevin replacing Soto:
“Kevin Chalfant would have been a much better choice at that point. Kevin Chalfant would be a much better point now.”

Kevin's performance at the 2007 Chicago MR concert are all over YouTube.
His voice is plenty high and he hits the notes with ease - arguably much moreso than Jeff or Jeremey, who I both thought were great additions to the band.
Better still, while a strong tenor, Kevin doesn't have any of that Perry/Arnel shrill oil squeak quality,

Not sure if this is one and the same, but I have Chalfant doing it live with World Stage. A great rendition nonetheless. However I do doubt he'd stand up to the Journey catalogue - even though his ICHB is fabulous, it's tuned down a full step from the original recording. If he can't sing Jamison in the original key, something tells me Perry might be an even taller order.

Was he even in the running or did he not want it anymore?
