Guess who's coming to town?? I'll give you a hint...
"Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world. She took the midnight train goin' anywhere..."
You guessed it... JOURNEY!
I'm such a fan and so is Ryan. When we heard they were coming to San Diego, we just had to plan an 80's date night with all our friends. We saw them in concert a few years ago with the other other lead singer they had since replacing Steve Perry. It just wasn't the same though. All the old songs we all know and love just didn't sound right without Perry's tone. Now they have a new lead singer, Arnel Pineda, and he sounds convincingly like Perry. He was discovered on YouTube singing with his filipino cover band, The Zoo.
I just cannot wait for the concert and I KNOW Ryan can't wait either. Ryan, the karaoke king that he is, has been singing Journey songs non-stop and I mean NON-STOP for the past 2 weeks now. He's been viewing every YouTube video he can find of Arnel singing. I honestly think Ryan thinks it could have been him. He may not have the long locks of a ballad rocker, but I know he thinks his voice is right up there with Perry and Pineda. Rocker or not, I love hearing Ryan sing. His singing makes me smile and laugh. Not a big belly-laugh, more like a giggle (hehehe...).
We'll for sure have a blast at the concert. I'm getting Ryan the new CD, Revelation, which was released yesterday so he can learn the new tunes before the concert. =)
