Lead Singer Arnel Pineda He is a Filipino, an ordinary guy whose got a good heart and an incredible voice. Now he is a star. He replaced Steve Perry as the lead vocalist of "Journey". His voice really sounds like Steve Perry. I am yet to see him live as he performs. Kudos Arnel Pineda.Just in case you’re wondering, that was not Steve Perry singing “Don’t Stop Believin’ ” with Journey during the Super Bowl pregame, nor was it a Journey tribute band. It was, indeed, Journey, with new singer Arnel Pineda, who joined the band in 2007 after being spotted by them singing Journey songs on YouTube.
“I was not excited about [the possibility of] the Soprano family being whacked to ‘Don’t Stop Believin’,” Perry told MTV News after the show had aired. “I told them, ‘Unless I know what happens — and I will swear to secrecy — I can’t in good conscience feel good about its use.’” The show’s producers made Perry promise to keep it under his lid, which he did, and then they spilled the beans on how the song was used and how the show ends, after which Perry signed off.
