I`ve said many times that Jeff`s voice can fit any style and any band on this planet!! That`s the unique part about him, you don`t see in many guys out there nowadays. Very, very professional and true to himself, brilliant performer and entertainer!
The song should have been lowered half or a whole key for Jeff, he has a bit darker voice than Perry and Arnel, would have sounded a bit better then....But still good, though! Really like Jeff!

jeff scot sotto cant even jump, run while singing, spin, throw the mic in the air, has no charisma, doesnt shake hands to the crowd. and he's boring to watch. in short he's not really a good entertainer.

Actually, most people dislike JSS because of his 80's style stage antics and excessive 'dancing' and stuff. There's just not a lot of space on this particular stage.
I never said 'I' disliked JSS, if anything, I want to be like him, haha! But every time I read a review of one of his shows, people complain about his 80's style stage antics. Personally, I think he should do whatever feels right. As long as he enjoys himself on stage, it's a good performance in my book.
absolutely! Arnel is way out of his league. I`m a huge fan of both Journey and Soto and I still think they were great together. Jeff`s voice is just outstanding and so much universal...it could easily fit in everywhere...from a whisper to a scream, from funk and soul to heavy metal. also a great performer and entertainer.
scottmackam: Arnel is just going along with what the rest of the band tells him to do, a clone. JSS has his own style, something edgy which I think Journey needs these days.
JSS is a very good singer but he doesnt have a very good presence on stage he looked invisble no persona at all!!! He may have a very good vocal range but it isn't comparable at all with Steve Perry's. Arnel is much better!!!
You are crazy,really! i saw JSS many times on stage and i can tell you he's one of the best frontman around,he has so much energy he did about 250 gigs a year with boogie nights and shared the stage with some biggest names in this world.
For all the people that think Steve sounds better than any replacement singer, I would now like to step up on my mighty soapbox and say that no singer will ever sound better than Peter Cetera or Dennis Deyoung either. Don't I just "sound" like i know what I'm talking about now? You may now call me *intro music* Captain... Obvious!!! For I am the sayer of all things common sense. Other captain obvious' may come and go but no one states the obvious like me no matter who may replace me! *chuckle*
again which band are you in? in my opinion as a working engineer is that your originals and jeffs band and the untouchables are great. but that other category three band is horrid and im sorry but it flat out sucks why would you lower your self like that.
i would like to say that this is a live performance. and Jeff is most likely a friend of someone in the band. and again hanging out partying i have seen him sing with journey and yngwie and the movie rockstar, this guy is great. And to those how want to compare your just f'n stupid and dont know shit about shit cause if you did you would not be here making comments about people who are obviously doing better than you in this buisiness. so shut the hell up.
Soto rocks. The rest of the band sucks. Why would have even bother performing with a half ass bar band? I mean, honestly, who the hell is Gary Schutt?
supermirage ...You are intitled to your opinion and I respect it...but have you ever listened to JSS sing anything else? I wasn't a fan of his at first...it took me listening to his other stuff to realize what an awesome voice he has. Try it...you might like it!
Before i give my twopenneth worth. Steve Perry was and will be the best AOR singer ever to grace the planet.
Saw Jeff do this last night in Sheffield, fookin awesome as usual, was excellent with Journey too, saw them in Manchester.
Journey had the chance to move direction with Jeff, and boy just think what they could have done with all that talent, but hey if Schon and Cain want to just play old hits, thats their LOSS.
Jumpin Jack Soto must love Journey,he keeps doin their covers.Talk about Journey changing singers,how many bands has Jumpin Jack Soto been with?Not very stable.Best move for Journey to get rid of Him.
I used to play in a band with Gary Schutt (I thought he always played bass with Jeff Scott Soto - who I think is one the very best rock singers in the world today - I used to sing "I'll See the Light Tonight" - he sings it amazingly well - Malmsteen's not so bad either!)
Journey will never find another great singer because they f'ed over two of the best...Steve Perry and Jeff Scott Soto! Who would want to sing for them? Who ever they get better be prepared for a knife in the back!
Don't reply to me to check out the new singer ...I have already. Not impressed. I would rather listen to an original singer like JSS ...not a clone of Perry. There is only one Steve Perry...No One will ever replace him. Arnel won't last long...watch and see.
Beakys, although i like the new singer Arnel, he does sound like a clone though. Your comment about him not lasting long is interesting because i've already posted a few comments on there about him sounding rough and yelling through the passages. I would say if he doesnt last long it will be to Journey running him 245 dates a year and watching him puke out due to voice problems. Arnels Technique needs ALOT of work. It will catch him sooner than later. I'm afraid we will watch... and see!
He was a good singer but in my opinion he'll never come even close to being as good as Steve Perry. And Steve Augeri was better than Jeff as well but it's just my opinion.
No, it was the dumbest "second" mistake they made. Steve Perry being the first. Jeff Scott Soto has so much talent and has an amazing voice and this is coming from a huge Steve Perry fan. Also, he never tried to be Steve Perry. He sings songs from his heart! The man has class and a great personality so fuck off jerry7855!
Journeys biggest mistake letting JSS go.Maybe they'll just find another perry sound alike that stands there like a statue just like Augeri .Journey is now washed up in my book
No doubt about it, Jeff has an awesome voice, just not for Journey. They want to sound like their old records, Jeff has more of a hardcore rocker voice. Good luck Jeff!
They Screwed up for Journey not for JSS! He has to much talent for these old botox suckers.Who gets all the attention on stage??Sa him 2 times during the last Talisman tour and thats the band were he belongs!!
for JSS to be 40 years old..he's still a power house of a voice...and so what..Steve Perry couldn't have lasted forever..he started digging his ditch with Journey back in the late 90's...he reminds me of Kevin Cronin with REO...once your head swells but so much..sooner or later, someone else will pop it...good luck Jeff..I look forward to the tour here in the states...keep powering it out yo amor jeff
jss is fkin amazin i lv him nd i am only 13 so dats made cumin from a girl mi age but i av lved journey since i was little nd jss is loads better cos he is more active lol xxxx
This guy is a complete joke.. I mean Augeri was no Steve Perry but he had the same tone going on. What a shame to put Journey's name on this crap. Steve Perry will always be the voice of Journey.
What would you have Journey to do? Steve Perry is the legendary voice of Journey, but he does not want to come back. Augeri ruined his voice by trying to sound like Perry night after night. Soto sings it his way. It may not suit everybody, but it must have suited enough folks to turn out for their last tour.
what a voice!
