But I've seen one too many posts about the guys character and personality being so great..and somehow making a direct link to his performances. Also note, loons do this with JSS, Perry, AP, etc. I don' t care if such and such is a great person..good for them. They either have it or they don't. I never thought JSS had it at least when it came to Journey..but that has nothing to do with what a wonderful person he is.
I'm glad the show was great and I'm happy to have SA signing again. I hope his new release sells a ton.
That is very subjective though. "You" may not think he has "it".....but if SA's voice touches somebody, then "they" do. Yes, I think Perry and JSS had "it" vocally, in or out of Journey......and it doesn't bother me in the least to see praise for Augueri. I just don't understand the negativity sometimes.
Good point. It very well may be subjective. Just like someone saying they aren't a SA fan or maybe doesn't like some of his work, doesn't mean that they are being 'negative'. That is the mistake I think people make. You can just not like someone's singing or whatever, and voice that opinion. That doesn't mean you are being negative towards them or tearing them down as a person.
True, you don't have to like SA or JSS for that matter, and I don't think you are being negative if they vocally don't do it for ya. It was more the "over compensating" and "fanatical" comments towards SA's fans. I'll never understand why some people's gaunch bunch up.......when they see others appreciating a talent.Ya don't have to agree with it, but it doesn't make them fanatical to voice their appreciation.
Deb you always have an eloquant way of stating things!! I always appreciate your posts.
