@Treaty4 I agree! I am a die hard Perry fan, but he and Arnel have much in common besides being short! Hard working, humanitarian causes they support, fervently devoted to family, proud of their heritage (Perry still speaks fluent Portugese), and of course, a love of music. What's funny is that all the racist viciousness out there against Arnel & against Perry would never be condoned by either one of them! Both are classy men!
@gluchnurse Your post is very well thought out. When Arnel started with Journey, I was opposed, because I was glad that they had chosen Jeff for the new lead. So, when he took his place, it did not sit well with me. But, I definitely fell for Arnel's beautiful soothing voice-plus he is cute. The man has my respect. Unfortunately, there will always be people who cannot see any other color, race, language etc.... only their own. I refuse to let people of that sort poison me. Rock on!
MUSIC is for everyone! and ARNEL PINEDA / JOURNEY is for the whole world nonetheless you are still proud to say that YOU ARE A PROUD FILIPINA like me!!! love from NYC
was that a bodyguard telling arnel's fan to not get too close cuz hes gonna get him sick. that was very rude of him. he looks white. i have white friends but hey, that i cant help to think that he was being frickin' racist. i wonder if he wouldve said that to a white guy...idiot
He was NOT being racist. His job is to protect Arnel. That includes his vocal health. A singer's voice is tied to their health. The voice is a very delicate thing easily affected by a cold or sinus infection. Being a singer myself, I understand why he told him what he did. Did it lack tact? Maybe a little, but he is not being paid for his personality. And YOU should keep things in context. It is crap like your statement that keeps racism alive. You perceive it where there is none.
who the fck was tht jerk tellin tht one guy "dont get to close to Arnel, you'll get him sick. He has to sing, understand" fckn bitchass, damn. . .chill. ughhh
The american guy said to him "Dont get too close to him, he gonna get sick". I hope he was not offended but the guy was right because they still have more shows to do.
"Don't Get So Close You'll Get Him Sick" Wow Aside from safeguarding a rock star's life. Bodyguards also needs to protect him from germs when in contact with fans! Chile was Arnel Pineda's debut for Journey and the Opening for the bands World Tour. This is serious a common cold could fuck up his voice. For awhile I thought the bodyguard was about to stop the male fan was about to kiss Arnel Pineda in the cheek. LOL =P
HAPPY NEW YEAR Mr. Arnel Pineda because today is your birthday, the beginning or the first day of your birth Month. Drinking or smoking is against Spiritual purposes. It could destroy ur skills. Stress is a silent killer. The richest person in the world is the healthiest person. Since life itself is the greatest blessing that we all could have today, then please keep Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 as my Gift. Good looking.
Having been stationed there and seen first hand how much talent there is in the Philippines I am so happy to see a success story like Arnel's. Someone just HAS to make his life story into a movie.
I cant brag but having a lot of awards back then wont make me dumb wouldnt it? You're making yourself looking like a dumb immature idiot. Props to you Talented Midget
I'm really getting back into Journey since they found Arnel, I'd like to give him a hug!! On the other hand, I work as a medical assistant, I've had people cough in my face, touched people that had scabies, lice etc. and I've never gotten sick or caught anything!! Let's hope no one gets him sick or the bodyguard is gonna kick some arse!!
stop!! saying pilipino pride.pilipino rin ako at kinikilabutan ako pag may nagbabasa akong pilipino pride. para walang nababasang masama sa ibang lahi sa aating mga pilipino tigilan na ang pilipino pride.
He's short like all Filipinos??? Hahaha. Maybe most but not all. Get that Filipino pride out of youtube, the world owns Arnel now. Filipinos are mixed race, there are tall and short Filipinos, like the fingers of your hand.
Because its foolish to take your Filipino pride on someone else's success. Arnel doesn't own the world. He is a public figure now, the issue here is universal. Music has no bounderies, no territories. I admire Arnel and he is an inspiration to me and the rest of us. I am a Filipino, when a Filipino suceeds, I admire them, and I am proud being a Filipino, even when there is no Arnel Pineda or Charice Pempengco.
Arnel is awesome! I just hope he stays humble and down to earth and doesn't let stardom change who he is. I look forward to many more albums with him singing lead for Journey.
efonts, seeing you very close to our idol make me happier...what you feel radiates in me as if am just at your back...can't help playing the clip over and over again...luv your ways.
Arnel is down to earth. Im proud to be a pinoy rocker. And I thank Neal, Ross, Jonathan and Deen as well as Journey's Management for giving Arnel the opportunity and the job. Great band deserves a lot of praise and respect. I hope you create more great songs in the near future. It's time for a major Earth shattering comeback of Rock music.
I think security is told what to say to the fans... when it comes to telling a fan to back off etc .. better coming from security than a band member. Band members want to keep you as a fan.
i watched this with a bleeding heart understanding that Arnel must be agonizing inside not being able to speak freely to his fans to save his voice...
efonts/thebukolking i know it's sad and unfortunate but i guess that's one part of the trade in his career. he really (or anybody in the band) can't afford to be sick and miss all the scheduled concerts and shows.
not overprotective. The band needs him to be healthy. If he get sick and can't sing, they will have to cancel concerts and many concert going fans will be disappointed...hopefully he won't get sick for awhile
I understand the security. They're on a long tour. Everyone who has the common cold has the potential to "infect" Arnel. It can be disruptive to the tour.
If that happens, not only will you not have meet and greet, you won't have a concert too.
I totally agee with mbaculio. Just a friendly reminder to the lovely fans of Journey, please be a professional too when dealing with your idol. Like I said before, Arnel is a member of an international sensation and they have a lot of fans out there who want to see them perform in front of them. Please be calm and modest when you are up close and personal with the band members. A good Hi, Hello, Congratulations and Great job will do as a greeting you may add an autograph signing and picture....
....taking (that would take less than 30 seconds)and that would be it because there's a lot more fans waiting in line. Besides they're too tired to share stories. If they are you best friend then maybe catch up with them when they're all done with their concert schedule. Like mbaculio said, keep them healthy. I don't blame the bodyguard at all, it's not just his job, it's suppose to be the fans' job too, especially so that we come from the culture he represents. Peace!
Arnel is so amazing! saw him in concert in CT with Foreigner and his voice is magical!!!
