Arnel Pineda, Journey’s new lead singer!
November 16, 2007
Arnel Pineda, a former Pinoy singer in Hong Kong, and vocalist of Manila based The ZOO, was chosen by a San Francisco based rock band Journey, who popularized the hits of the 80’s like “Faithfully” “Don’t Stop Believing’ and “Open Arms and “Any Way You Want It”.
He’s been rocking Hong Kong music scene for a decade, and had regular shows in Cavern, before he went back for good
to Manila last year to form a new band called “The ZOO”. They had one CD record on their name.
His awesome Journey cover songs which were posted in Youtube.com seven months ago, caught everyone’s attention, most especially the band itself. Arnel had this great, powerful vocals and excellent tone, and have the closest voice to Steve Perry. Later, Journey invited Arnel Pineda to audition as their next vocalist. Deal was done and we’ll just have to wait for formal announcement sooner.
Here’s one of his best Journey cover song live performance.
Unfortunately, hardcore Journey fans are allegedly ridiculing Arnel for the way he introduces the songs in a Filipino accent.
OK. Let’s hear the original Steve Perry performing Journey’s hit song “Don’t Stop
Believing”
and here’s our very own Arnel Pineda and The Zoo band doing a cover song of their hit song “Don’t Stop Believing”. Isn’t it unbelievable?
Arnel Pineda, that one hell of a voice! It’s going to be great!!!

“Unfortunately, hardcore Journey fans are allegedly ridiculing Arnel for the way he introduces the songs in a Filipino accent.”
I have nothing against him being Filipino… What I don’t like is that you can here his accent in all the Journey songs he sings. Journey is an American Rock Band and I don’t think it will go over well when people here the accent. If he had not accent it would be a whole different story. I can’t believe that Neil Schon would hire him with the accent issue. All the vocal training in the world can’t get rid of the accent completely.

ajmanz,
hey you dumb ass what the f….ck is wrong with you! are you even a filipino?
or you’re like some pretender trying to sound like an american!
here’s a suggestion my man,try to fix your spelling first before worrying others accent.To tell you frankly we are all against you.your opinion,your grammar….and most specially your spelling!(damn!). Everytime i read this comment, I can’t help but pitty those like you who loved to be somebody they’re not!!!!That’s all folks!!!hahahaha!
ate jo reply on June 17, 2008:
And what is your accent, dude? lol
ajmanz, what you heard on youtube are cover songs of Journey he made before he was discovered by Neil and band.
He was invited to perform in front of them and chose him to be their next vocalist. You may have that accent issue, but they don’t.
He should be having some language training as well right now in SF.
Arnel has a great voice and deserve this chance.
Let’s just wait and see.
[reply this comment]
Arnel Pineda’s golden voice will surely bring a
beautiful Journey music to their fans and the
whole world, not only in America. Accent should
not be an issue, if there is.

Non-american accent of song intro can be refined in a short time. Extra-ordinary singing talent could not be acquired overnight.
[reply this comment]
well said DHK!!!
ajmanz just can’t accept the fact that a dude
from Philippines is now the vocalist of American band Journey.
Oh la la !!
[reply this comment]
Amazing voice! Simon Cowell will love this man.
Journey should be grateful to youtube and the guy who uploaded his video.
Can’t wait to see him with Journey!
[reply this comment]
voice wise, Arnel is the best pick for Journey..he can hit the notes with less effort… plus he knows all the Journey songs by heart…
i wud agree with DHK, accent can be refined and acquired…it’s not that hard..especially for us filipinos ;P
but great singing skill? sure you can improve thru constant practice but great singing voice is a gift and we have to admin, not everyone has it!
[reply this comment]
I concur with what you said DHK! Accent can be improved and enhanced definitely in a brief time and NOT AT ALL AN ISSUE! My gosh! Rite AJMANZ? Arnel, our very good friend has an EXCEPTIONAL Talent. His voice is indeed amazin’ and tremendously admirable! “IBANG KLASE”! He’d been into this for ages, man! YES, his singing’ prowess is stunnin’! Such special talent that is could not be acquired overnight. Let’s just wish him the best. Evryone deserves a big break such as this as long as one has it. Rite? He is the one CHOSEN! So what’s the issue? What’s the fuss! The guys who have picked him had certainly made the right choice and decision. ok. Kudos to you Arnel! WE LOVE YOU! WE’RE SO PROUD OF YOU, HOMIE!!! We’ll keep prayin’ for you, bud! Muah!
[reply this comment]
whoa, ajmanz can’t even spell correctly.
accent should not be an issue in singing… and who cares if he introduces a song in filipino accent? big deal! the song comes out great anyway
we’re talking about singing prowess here.
nice work arnel!
[reply this comment]
As ajmanz said….
“I have nothing against him being Filipino… What I don’t like is that you can (here) his accent in all the Journey songs he sings. Journey is an American Rock Band and I don’t think it will go over well when people (here) the accent.”
I hope you’ll hear him finally. Kiddin’
I’m happy for Arnel Pineda. Go dude!!!Keep rockin’!!
[reply this comment]
arnel rocks my world!!! you’re the BEST vocalist in the whole wide world!!! can’t wait to see you perform!!! you really have a talent like nobody can’t do…. great voice.. i like everything about you, and we will support you all through out, stay humble.
goodluck

When Neal S., Jonathan C., Ross V. & Steve S. invited AP for audition, for sure they’ve studied, debated & discussed everything about their criterion, preference and the like. They would not waste time, money & effort getting AP if they didn’t see any ‘goldmine’ in their ‘prize catch.’.
“Hardcore fans never ridicule their idol — otherwise they are not fans, but critics.”
[reply this comment]
nice dennis! you have point there
hardcore fans ridiculed him, maybe bcoz they
never know he’ll be their next idol. hahaha
[reply this comment]
Who cares about an accent when he speaks??? We all have different accents and we also have people in the USA from all over the world. I have a southern accent and in California, the women love it! Don’t be shallow about someones accent my friends
I buy a cd or go to a consert to hear singing and music, not talking.
Another note: If Steve Perry doesn’t want to listen to his fans and get back with Journey then more power to Arnel if he gets the gig.
[reply this comment]
I’ve been a Journey fan since the Escape (E5C4P3) Album, yeah that’s right album, not CD, that just gives you an idea how much of an old school or ol’ fart I am.
I was fortunate enough too to witness the “Frontiers” concert. They rocked, Steve Perry’s voice was insane, Neal just rippin’ his ax like a mad child, and the one I watched and listened the most was Steve Smith on drums. The guy got mad beats. He was one of the better drummers back in the day next to Neil Peart from Rush. Another good drummer is the one guy from the Police. Sorry Alex, although Van Halen is may favorite band of the 80’s, your drumming was just okay. Alex used a beat box a lot. During his drum solo’s, when the lights would flicker you knew that box would kick in. For everytime he hit the drum, an electronic beat would follow. A cheater in a way. But he fooled the crowed (even up to now he does the same thing).
Back to the subject…Journey will always be my top 3 bands from the 80’s (Van Halen #1 & Foreigner #3), we are all getting older, if getting Arnel is what it takes to make Journey a premire band again. Do it! Neil S. & Jonathan C. are great musicians, there is a reason they picked Arnel. Let’s all just wait and see and hope they made the best choices to put themselves back on #1 Billboard.
All of a sudden, I have the urge to look for that baseball concert jersey of the Alien (Frontier Tour). HA HA HA
[reply this comment]
I just really wish Steve Perry would realize how short life really is. And go back to the band he belongs in.
[reply this comment]
i grew up with filipinos, his accent is barely noticeable compared to some. his voice is fantastic!
[reply this comment]
Um incase you did not notice, Scorpions is from Germay and their singer has a real heavy accent too, even Arnold Schwarzenegger has a heave accent. You dont seem to have a problem with that. You just have problem not of his accent but because he is not white and he does not live in a trailer park.
[reply this comment]
Who cares about the accent? No matter how good or bad the accent is, always remember that “MUSIC IS OUR UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE”. No matter where you’re coming from, we’re all supposed to be UNITED when it comes to music. I agree with DOTTY, Scorpions has a real heavy accent. But why do people like them? Because they produce good music, and so as Journey. C’mon people, give this guy a chance. Deep inside, we all know that he can do the job with his amazing voice. A lot of us are just not being true to ourselves.
[reply this comment]
Journey finally announced to the world Arnel Pineda is their new vocalist!
[reply this comment]
from Journey website….
“Arnel brings a soulful and passionate voice to JOURNEY,” continues keyboardist Jonathan Cain. “His personality is very well-suited to our music. He’s a sincere, authentic person with a great smile and a big heart. I think fans are really going to love him. With Arnel’s soaring tenor, Journey returns to our heritage sound.”
[reply this comment]
Don’t stop believing! Now we can really say it’s true, no matter how trite it sounds.
[reply this comment]
Cathy if listen to Journey you want them to sound like Journey not some other band. “Trite”….. You don’t even make sense

nice one!!! .. another filipino has made it again. hehe
[reply this comment]
by “trite” i mean “don’t stop believing.” how many times have you heard that phrase and has become skeptical to do exactly just that? as arnel has shown, no dreams are too big. he probably got the gig because he didn’t stop believing, in addition to his great voice. is that what doesn’t make sense to you lapu_lapu? or did i just misunderstand you because of your poor grammar?
[reply this comment]
don’t hate appreciate does it sound better to you??!!
and please don’t tell me about my grammar just because i miss one word, meanwhile you messed up your whole last sentence. shame shame… “misunderstood” not misundertand. check your own grammar first before you comment on others. LOL. Just “Dont stop believing” coz’ you might just get it. LOL 
peace out…. Arnel and Journey Rocks !!!!!

adfamai reply on March 11, 2008:
Quit bickering both of you! Written English does not have any accent. Only bad grammar. I wonder if lapu_lapu is from the Visayas?
Anyway. AP’s got great voice and Journey, the business people that they are, know a good thing when they see (or hear) one.
Journey’s a great band otherwise they wouldn’t be in the Rock n Roll hall of fame so in a way, Arnel is riding on their coat tails. Having said that however, they too are getting something out of making him their front man. Youth! Energy! Vitality!
Plus he has his own fan base and, Filipinos, not matter if they have heard Journey before or not, will surely become their fans too!
Now what other ’80s band can garner the adulation of new, younger fans?

lapu_lapu… did you misunderstand - is correct.. you don’t say did you misunderstood… that’s defo wrong… !!!
To all of you who claims that you’re hardcore Journey fans, “YOU’RE NOT”. You may have seen all the Journey concerts, bought all their records & CD’s, decorated your entire house with Journey posters and memorabillas. The true Journey fanatic is the one who even during this period of POP and RAP music domination, preaches their music even long after Steve Perry has left. He’d be the one singing his best rendition of Journey music night after night even to a half empty bar. We should be thankful for guys like ARNEL PINEDA and his band. This guy could easily make a name for himself, but instead they chose to keep the good music alive rather than go mainstream and do RAP music (half the time I dont even know what rap is all about, it mostly swearing and sexual inuendos). Let’s give this guy AP “the biggest Journey fan” a chance, most of all let’s not forget about the other original band members, we cannot just allow these guys to fade into oblivion just because they lost their last lead singer. Congratulations gentlemen, I hope this new guy is the one you’ve been waiting for.

He is not Perry but his voice is similar and he has his own style too. Great for him and the Journey Band!!! It’s time for them too get some real CASH!!!

Accent does not diminish a great vocal range! Journey needs someone who can bring life back into their band. They’ve thought, analyzed, examined, Arnel’s talent and they picked him.
Remember–the audience on the YouTube videos are Filipinos. Even if he did not have a “Filipino” accent in introducing the songs, Filipino audiences will feel offended if a Filipino singer adopts an American English accent.
Celine Dion did not speak a word of English when she broke into the American scene. Look at where she is now!

Good Luck to you Arnel. I’ll get in line for the new Journey CD.

For sure Journey with Arnel will rock the world.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA. Nagkampi yong dalawang hilaw na kano!!!!! Second ka pa, kala mo galing din ng ingles mo. Sh*t kaya kainin nyo. LOL.
The accent thing is the most ridicoulous thing I´ve ever heard. Dah did the Beatles have an accent? did Steve? duh? If you want the guy to sound like he is from Arkansas, he´ll sound different too. The only accent you hear is in your head.
[reply this comment]
Whoaaaa, impressive vocals Arnel! That is the closest I’ve heard to Steve Perry’s. But, if Journey feels he’s got the goods to join them, well I sure have no complaints. Good luck Arnie…
And I agree with EM. To all those who think Arnie’s introduction in his filipino accent was a put off, they should check out Celine’s concert. She still have that funny canadian french accent to this day. But that didnt stop her, her talents too big. Arnel? Well, just keep your head high up in the skies and feet firm to the ground, dude…
[reply this comment]
with accent or no accent, Arnel is the chosen one as an official leadsinger of the rockgroup, Journey whether you like the accent or not, we Filipinos are Music lovers, flexible and can easily be adjusted if you want us to have an accent or not.
most of Pinoy singers can deliver the lyrics very clear and you will not need a songhits, hehehe!
so Arnel more power and be humble always
cheers!

There is not a single human being who is pure American, European, Asian, etc. We are all a mix one time or another! So quit talking about “he is Filipino in an American rock band”.

We are given a gift to our ears…

if it’s due to deafness that’s understandable..

then you need to be DEAF!! I’ve listened to the
music of Journey..REO..and others..and I’ve been
entertained WELL…and now to have Arnel..well
that’s just GREAT!! I’ll be listening to Journey
and I’ll hope one day to tell Arnel..how much..
I enjoy what he does…because He sings to US
because He is susposed to..God gave him that

He made quite an impression @ Festival de Viña del Mar at Quinta Vergara Arena in Chile on February 21, 2008 and to describe their concert in its simplest sense–Arnel Pineda and Journey “truly rock!”.

Update: Journey was awarded the “highest award” in the open competition of the festival - the group received the LA GAVIOTA DE PLATA (The Gull of Silver) maximum award. Journey beat out the competition by a popular order of the public (in attendance and tv viewership); Earth, Wind & Fire was one of the opponents in the group category. Arnel Pineda, himself, won two (2) torches, the prestigious Gold award and another one in silver during the international competition amongst vocalists on the second day of the Festival of the Vine of the Sea. BRAVO!

The most lowly people I’ve seen in this world are those who act as self appointed guardian of the English language. You have nothing against Filipinos yet your comment is a very racist one!
Just for your learning lesson, Here is an adverb, while Hear is a verb.
“I don’t think it will go over well when people here the accent. If he had not accent it would be a whole different story”
The essence of communication is to get across the intended meaning to the intended audience. I got your meaning but for the sake of grammar, you’ve not only misspelled “hear” but it is my conviction that you had been using it all your life.
Arnel is a great singer, and sings the Journey songs perfectly. Just like a lot of Filipinos, we’re thankful Neil doesn’t think like you do.

Arnel has a perfect pitch and a soaring solid full-bodied vocals unless your ears are growing potatoes or the lack thereof of some music sense.
Leave him alone…let him do his job!
[reply this comment]
Three days ago a lot of my co-workers had asked me if I am going to Arnel’s concert here in Dallas, and I said, who???…. then they all told me about him. So first thing I did when I got home, went to YT. Dang…. I was speechless, watched all about him including the CBS news, he’s one hell of a Pinoy! I’m not a rocker, nor watch Filipino events for a long long time but after knowing about Arnel, I feel I have to see ALL about him. Of course, not only I’m proud of him. He seems very humble with a GREAT voice! I just hope he’s not going to be like some other flip celebrities in PI whose heads are getting bigger because of their fame. Anyway, I went to Walmart yesterday and got his album, then got 2 tickets for his concert on July 27th. And mind you, I’ll be in the second row (1st row is sold out) !!! ( Hugging my hubby here!! ) LOL!

Ako, di ko kilala ang Journey at lalong di ako mahilig sa rock. Pero ng marinig ko si Arnel, iba ang naging dating niya sa akin. Gabi gabi nasa YT ako at pinapakinggan ko lahat ng kanta niya from the band Zoo hanggang sa mga concerts niya with Journey. Magaling talaga siya. SUPER…. I bought his CD at gasgas na sa kauulit kong pakikinig kahit dito sa office. More power to you Arnel. I’ll see you in September here in Concord , CA.
[reply this comment]
Honestly, I have heard of some journey’s songs at some parties but then I didn’t have any clue who sung those songs until my sister Carole came to Califonia for a vacation. She asked if we knew this filipino singer by the name of Arnel pineda who now is the new lead vocalist for journey band,I said “no” She said to go to “Youtube” We saw his video clips and concert performances on both here and abroad. (las vegas and chile)I was moved and amazed of his incredible voice and talent. I bought his new CD package immediately as soon as they became available. Man i am so proud of him after listening to his songs with the journey band. He exactly sound like Steve Perry. Since then i started spreading or telling to friends and families about him. Even at work did i tell them about him. I became addicted of his songs that i would play his CD every time i get a chance in my car or at home. God Bless and more power AP!
