Arnel you deserved Andrew's MR award.

Thanks for all your hardwork and dedication. Stay humble, nice and cool to the fans.

I was given this by Arnel's brother Erik to post here. Arnel was really touched that MelodicRock awarded him 2008 Vocalist of the Year and wanted to express his personal thanks to Andrew.

Dear Friends,

It is with great pride that I thank the people from MelodicRock for counting me in as one of the best – a distinction that used to dwell only in my dreams. This honour only serves as further inspiration for me to better my craft and do my best in suiting up of for one of the best jobs in the world. Journey’s new American tour is just around the bend and it is my prayer that the support that we enjoyed last year will still meet the boys when we take on the stage.

Thank you so much, Andrew for believing and more thanks to the people who support both Journey and MR! See you all on the road!

ARNEL PINEDA

VERY cool- of him, of mr, of rip.
Way to Go Arnel! WELL deserved. You're kicking ass!

I could give a rip if he becomes a walking talking prick with ears as long as he keeps belting them out.
I don't need a pound of flesh from our bands I just want albums and dvds.

Just an observation, but these awards are strictly Andrew's opinion, nor does the MR community's populace vote in these awards. We can congratulate those who are mentioned certainly, but there is absolutely no reason for us to be thanked really.

Nice guesture though, but I don't think many understand these awards each year. It is merely a way that Andrew chooses to recap the previous year and mention those that he feels stood out for him. Many agree with a lot of those on his list while many others will disagree. :::shrug:::

On this one, I respectfully disagree. I enjoy the honorable mentions much more, but that is simply my opinion and has no bearing on these awards. :wink:

There's always a few of these every time.
Andrew disclaimed right at the outset of the awards that they are (always HAVE been) HIS personal picks. Given his creds, though, those personal picks carry some weight in the industry so artists like Arnel and Jamison post thanks and such online at places like the Journey site and facebook.

Easy there, Pa.
Rocker chick wasnt saying anything negative. Arnel's "thank you", came across as a thank you to not only Andrew, but also the MR members, as if it was done by a poll.
I personally think Arnel is not only an amazing singer, but also a very humble and gracious person, but not all members here think that.
Thats all she was pointing out,,,,

Yes, and Andrew is also the site's staff, or "the people from MelodicRock." Really not necessary to overanalyze a simple statement like that. And the thought that "many people" don't understand these awards is also one person's opinion. I don't really understand or agree with hers, but it's ok to have one.

Congratulations Arnel!

It IS necessary to overanalyze, Rippo, when one resents the band or individual members of the band.
Send the dissenting opinions on forthwith and kindly request Pineda return the award because WE ALL didn't vote him vocalist of the year! :lol:

I think YOU overreacting to the post is diverting & the derailing the topic more, so just ignore it , will ya ?

I think that was very cool. Arnel Rocks!

Understood. All ANDREW pointed out in his annual disclaimer is that they're his choices, as CEO of MR.com, NOwhere has it ever been implied that the MR.com annual awards represent the collective opinions of his crack message board posters.
Perhaps by thanking the Mr "community" Pineda's merely acknowledging Andrew's status, wether Journey bashers like it or not as the spokesman of his own website, god-forbid.
You have a site, do your own and crown Jeff man.

Hey man, sorry -- my post wasn't very clear. I was agreeing with your thoughts and meant it wasn't necessary for RockerChic to overanalyze the statment. Cool that she had an opinion, but like you I disagreed with it.

Hey...That wasn't negative! ! That man LOVES some damn peanuts!!! Just joking. I have no clue what the hell the man eats, and I don't believe he eats what Ed says.
