Arnel Pineda and the New Journey

I have recently heard of the legendary band "Journey" and their acquisition of a new lead vocalist. The news only struck me when they said that their new member was a filipino. At first I was skeptical and said, "you got to be kidding me, a filipino took over the place of Steve Perry?". But the lead guitarist Neal Schon told the story of how desperate they were in finding a new vocalist and they tried their luck in looking online thru Youtube. So I plugged myself online and searched the web and I found this guy, Arnel Pineda. I watched his uploaded videos together with his local band the "Zoo" in Youtube, they did covers of Journey, and when he sang "Open Arms", I was amazed how his voice sounded like Steve's. Sounds too good to be true but check this video from their live concert in Chile last February 2008 with Arnel.
