[damonkeh13]

one of the very few great kareoke covers mate...nice one

[colgjg]

great job mike you got some pipes

[GuitarDemystified]

you sound a lot like steve perry,...is that just your natural range or are you using some techniques that you learned to sing up there? like head voice and all that? if so, share your wisdom

[rideon77]

It's a mixed voice! This guy is great!

[BigBoiJC]

are you sure that steve perry wasn't hiding somewhere in a back room with a mic? you were fantastic my friend! keep on singing and we'll keep on listening!

[localrager]

Yo man, great job! You need you get more up asap!

In other news, we need to get on some cod2 sometime

XXLocalragerxX

[Mikeg73070]

Thanks KM for the positive comment...I'll look for you on COD2 but, I guy with your batlle skill has me worried LOL.

[dano465]

Thanks for reminding me to come back to have a listen. Really really good. Hard song to sing. Do you have any more singing vids. You should.

~Dylan

[metalrr13]

[Mikeg73070]

Thanks for the kind words.

[kazzz15]

WOW, fantastic job. Well done- I enjoyed it. :)

[squires52]

good effort man

[VIDEOHEREBOB]

Very nice job on a tough song.

[yogirl886]

3:28 hold it! lol!

[dano465]

Very good, great job!

[tehmaninblack]

I have been found to the the same things after more than enough beers

[international159]

This is good. I like it. Just wondering if he has the vocal energy to sing for 2 hours.

[Mikeg73070]

It would take some time to get my voice in shape but yes, I could give u a 2hour set...lots of water, and a guitar solo ...then Im ready. Thanx 4 the good review.

[masqueradeseries]

And vocals need overdrive.Also upload Separate Ways i'd like to see the fell that it's gone part from you.

[dagostud]

hey man good job but please no offence i thought the song was just a little to big 4 u try to bring it down 1 or 2 i thought u were pushing a little to much to hit the high notes that u were loseing it a little towards the end but all in all man really good job i can't do it too high 4 me but i can rock out a good styx lady i will have to post it some day but if ur ever in buffalo ny let me know cause u have to come to my karaoke show so i can mix u keep on singing man

[masqueradeseries]

Man i don't care about the quality those was some of the most amazing high b notes.

[Mikeg73070]

thank u 4 those kind words....i was a bit flat, please read my reply to the review above your post...that may explain it better....please send this video to ur friends and send me ur email and i will send u my demo. w/b thanks again , Mike

[handybud11]

that was awesome! iam very shocked! good stuff

[BecciBarham1993]

Awesome vocals, loved it!!! xxxxx

[bonegristler]

yeah man , I agree with Walrus80, with some refinement this guy could replace Steve Perry better than Augeri or Soto, but I was hoping for the high part last repeat of "hold on till the bitter end", though. Never the less, there's more power in your voice, as was is Mr Perry, so Good luck!

[anascocesar]

nice try man, keep it up...

[x3xfLIpFlOpS4eVeRx3x]

i know ur nephew tyler hes my best friend remember me!! amanda

[walrus80]

not much control of the voice but actually i find his voice stronger than steve augeri and Jeff Scott. his voice can definitely improve.

[poor2geesman]

great voice!

[sppf4ever]

Awesome! You do justice to Steve's Don't stop believing...

[MRMATT31]

Great Job ++++

[colteastwoodstudios]

Mike, that's cool, I had already checked out this video after I posted mine. I showed some friends. We should do a double Steve Perry-a-thon sometime! Good job!

- Eric Snider

[Cinnamonvalley]

Unbelievable!!!

[algor123]

yoyoyo can you send me the radio demo tapes you were talking about on the only thing video.

[tukmolzkiii]

this is the best journey karaoke cover version ever! im singing this song too but im quitting now because of this guy! lol! you should make a tribute band m8!!! best of luck!!!^^

[jamnick102]

amazing! imagine how good he is without those couple beers.

[TheDoxy]

Holy hell. This was A LOT better than I thought it would be.

Very nice man, you sing your ass off. Few and far between my friend.

[Mikeg73070]

Thank you for that great comment. It feels great to know that even though it wasn't anywhere near my best work, people still enjoyed the effort. Hey, you can't quit! you gotta keep on rockn' and DSB!!

[awaken1001]

Fantastic job, mate - effortless singing, you're a real natural. Cheers, all the best

[kanarika]

Good job great voice

[duckoes]

great job mate. I'm very VERY impressed. awesome job. Aussie drummer

[genieman71]

Good singer, but still not as good as that other dude in the cap. He REALLY rocked!!!

[Eagle3396]

Great job! Voices like Steve Perry and Joey Belladona are not easy to do.

[FightinAggie07]

Bravo!

[TheUnbornBand]

Wow I thought that was mindblowing

[PublicYahoo]

This guy is better than Journey's new lead singer he should send them a demo..

[Darkviking12]

lmao Im a metal head and this is the only 80's song that fuckign rocks, you rock dude nice voice

[dymphna29]

Mike, thanks for watchin my vid, you did a very good job- the mic was a little loud- you have a good voice, good potential, and you sound like Steve Perry to a degree in the style you sang (which I do...):) great!!

[DoLLsTeaK223]

DAMN, DUDE!!! that was great, you did the high notes perfectly. rock on, brother, rock on;)

[TonySlater123]

fucking hell you are great. i was expecting a retard lol

keep it up

you should start a journey tribute band :)

[Mikeg73070]

Thanks guys for your support...Original songs on the way and some more Journey!!!

[zimbalist]

that song is so extremely difficult to sing and you perform it with honors!!

fantastic!!=)

[iunit]

Dude, you kick ass!

[imakindacute]

A little pitchy...but you can fix that.

[Mikeg73070]

your 100% right ! I kinda wish I didn't have those beers LOL

[johnedgenethy]

wow man ur amazing

[69sexy69babe69]

ti tell you the truth..

when i clicked on this video,

i was getting ready to laugh..

buttt to my surprise you are really really really good!!

my jaw actually dropped. no joke!

your my idol=P

rock on=P<3

[magukarogu]

youre incredible!

[StyleSessions]

really great!

well done

[AlexMironov]

Perfect singing you`ll be a star!!!!

[kwe]

Great rendition. Your voice is pretty damn good...props to you. Steve Perry is not an easy man to emulate. Post more vocals.

[joeydelight]

Whoh...this guy's good!

[rockin80sFREAK]

OH, and I would like to add, that it may not be a brilliant performance, but you could easily outsing Augeri or Soto any day. :]

[Mikeg73070]

thanks for the kind words...Rock On!

[rockin80sFREAK]

best song ever... not the best vocals ever. ha ha but the important thing is that DSB lives on and ppl everywhere are singing it!!! I'm 14, and I, myself, sing this song at karaeoke every chance I get. so, thx 4 insuring that Mr. Perry LIVES ON!!! love, peace, and PERRY forever ~ Jade <3

[dswilliamson2112]

Good job, sir.

[Mikeg73070]

I agree it was very pitchy (too many beers), Please hang in there, I will do more vids soon with more pratice. Thanks for your support- MikeG

[kamikazikostka]

great job. Notes to work on are the High B (somewhere in the NIGHT!!!) that note. You have pitch issues there, your about 25 cents flat. Also, work on your facial shape on certain notes, they will be easier to sing that way.  (For instance, "Up and down the BOULEVARD", that could use work) Overall, phenominal job, best imitation I have seen. Great Job

[19Chantelle19]

why dont you take the midnight train out of here!

[youvebeenthunderstru]

you, sir, are incredible. too bad about the sucky audience though... i think for some random crap take (it wasn't crap, what i mean is unprepared, not really focusing etc) it's just brilliant

[knome]

Two things, the second one os much more important:

1) Practice Practice Practice. You have the gift. Get it real! Sing from the gut mate!

2) STAGE PRESENCE. Just standing there doesn't do anything for me. You have to SHOW energy. Watch concert videos until your eyes bleed and you'll figure it out ;)

Nice job!

[AnTonia36]

Dude you really do have a great voice and vocal range, and could make a carrer as a singer for any band, the only thing I'd suggest you do is work a bit on your pitch, some of it is slightly out of key, but some trainning would make it perfect, I wish I had a voice like that!

[Mikeg73070]

Thanks...this is NOT my best work...the better stuff is on the way..stay tuned. Thanks again for the positve review.

[imagineart]

No frickin bad at all man...right now you kick the @ss of Steve Soto who is currently the lead singer for Journey. A tiny bit of pitch issue...but really pretty damn good....good job!

[rideon77]

That's great! Really!

[DedeWalter]

Great performance! I didn't know this song before.

[howyaaadoiinkidd]

=O how lol one of the greatest songs ever, and thats not an opinion lol

[benzne78]

You sound awesome! Keep it up.

[RyanW86]

sounds great!!! i dont watch american idol, but if u went on it id vote for you!

[doris38133]

I think you are great!!! Great vocals.

[katiesopinion]

damn, pretty good

[ilovesteveperry]

its alright but i love steve perry just a little bit more...ok alot

[Mikeg73070]

I like Steve's vocals better than mine too!!

[KSFALLGUY]

I WANA HEAR YOU SING SOME ERIC MARTINalaMR BIG!! GOOD VIBRATO JUST DONT OVER DRIVE THE VOWELS, PUSH MORE ON THE FLATS AND SMOTH OUT THE SHARPS, BUT YOU HAVE A REAL TALENT!!

[Mikeg73070]

Hey, let me say that your 100% right on the vocal review. Eric Martin is good. I also like power vocalists from bands such as Queensryche, Styx, Dream Theater and Foreigner. I was wondering if you ever heard of Michael Matijevic of SteelHeart? I wish I could tap into their vocals and combine their skills into my own style. Perry,DeYong,Tate etc... What do you think about those guys? Thanks for your positive review(s).w/b with your thoughts on those guys.

[KSFALLGUY]

ALL MY FAVS, 2 AS A VOCALIST ITS HARD 2 STAY AWAY FROM THE GREAT ONES, INTURN IT MAKES IT HARDER 2 FIND YOUR OWN VOICE, ALL MUSIC IS RECYCLED INDIVIDUALISIM, WE ALL BUILD ON SOMTHING PREVIOUSLLY DONE! chris degarmo of qryche

'

[KSFALLGUY]

GO ON IDOL DUDE ILL VOTE FOR YOU!!

[sliceofmetal123]

I think you sounded alot like Steve Augeri in this. Some may disagree with my assertion, but I think your sound was closer to his rather than Perry's (not that it matters because it was an awesome performance) Very enjoyable! This was 5 years ago? Are you still performing?

[Mikeg73070]

Thank's for the review. I agree it's less Perry than I'd like to strive for. I hope to make/upload better quality vids. Honestly, I've done that song before and I've had far better results. This is the only video ever shot of me singing Journey. I still sing and write. I hope to have better material that will show a more accurate demonstration of my vocals(good or bad.)

Im glad you enjoyed it.

[sliceofmetal123]

Hope you add some more Journey classics or cover some of the other performers you mentioned to KSFALLGUY. I think you could do a good job with just about any song out there with range like that. Hope to see more soon.

[Mikeg73070]

Thanks "Slice" I just got a video capture device and put up a test vid. I think I'm going to try "Lights" or "Separate Ways" for my next vid...un less you (or anyone else) has a request or suggestion. Thanks again for the praise. Other vocals I enjoy are Boston, Survivor, Toto and (don't laugh) Stryper. Let me know.

[howyaaadoiinkidd]

dude if u go to american idol and win(u prob win ur so good lol) share some of that cash lol

great singing though man

[Mikeg73070]

Hey, Now that's a cool screen name!! Thanks for watching it. The problem is that I think the American Idol age limit is 25. But, I hope to put up future karaoke vids of more Journey,Styx,REO,Foreigner songs as well as some of my own demos. Hopefully they will be a lot better quality than this one was. Feel free to send this video link around for more feedback(good or bad)Thanks again.

[imagineart]

Here's some songs for you to try IMHO...

Journey: "Good Morning Girl", "Winds of March", "Open Arms" (A crowd fave), and "Happy to Give". For Styx you clearly need to do: "Lady" and "Lorelei" Also you might want to try some Boston... ;)

[journey4ever]

Mike....I left a comment last week but I don't see it. Anyways....I think you did an awesome job singing! Very difficult to sing Perry songs. You def. should look into singing for a career or at least try out for American Idol. Remember....."Don't stop believin'", ok that may have been a bit cheesy :) Take Care!

[lonelyhearts100]

That was awesome, you have a seriously hot voice!

[Mikeg73070]

Thank you.

[Nutz4perry]

Mike Awesome job..... Sounds great! You need to be singing all the time.....

Thanx for this... Very enjoyable....

Deb

[Mikeg73070]

Thank you..just wish I had more time to sing.

[milllertimelespaul]

not to bad man.

[Mikeg73070]

It certainly was "Millertime" when I sang that one. Thanks for the comment.

[bib1956]

I am a HUGE Steve Perry fan so it takes A LOT to impress me when someone does a cover version. It's hard to cover his songs, big shoes to fill. Or should I say a big voice to fill. But you win my vote! GREAT job at a tough, tough song! you by any chance aren't Portuguese too, are ya? LOL

[Mikeg73070]

Nope sorry, Irish and Italian. Stay tuned for future vids. Thank you for your vote...and yes they(Steve's) are BIG shoes to fill. Im glad you liked it. Please feel free to rate the video and tell a friend. I'm open to any feedback good or bad. Thanks again.

[sjfireguy]

Heyyyyyyyyy I'd like to hear more. If you have a demo I'd like to sign you!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mikeg73070]

Wow!!..I am flattered but I am currently in round the clock negotiations with Mr. Clive Davis of Arista fame. I've already had to break the bad news to Dr. Dre. Feel free to make any counter offers you wish. Have your A&R rep call mine and we'll do lunch. LOL

[fennmeister]

its steve perry with a touch of ozzy. a touch of Good eighties garnish to top it all off. Good job.

[Mikeg73070]

To be even considered in the same breath as Ozzy or Steve is a huge compliment. Thanks for those kind words. It's the only video I have..Im hoping to put up some better quality stuff with more focus on tighter vocals. Thanks again.

[Escape1988]

wow man wayyyyyyyy better than i expected. excellent job!!!

[Mikeg73070]

Thank you..Someday I'll really give it a try...that one was "pitchy" and it had a terrible slap echo on it.

But thank you for you positive review.

[Escape1988]

dude honestly i'd take you over journey's new singer. you have great range, tone, and power. something journey hasnt seen since perry. put up as many vids as you can, i'd watch 'em.
