If the Perry police come after you for that, they will lynch me for this ... but I love Steve Augeri's voice in the band. I was a fan of Tall Stories, and thought he was the perfect fit. He could sing all the Perry stuff, but wasn't a clone (like some ;-) )

In fact, I rate the Arrival album with him singing as right behind Escape personally. Top bloke too. Just a shame $chon and Cain couldn't give him time to recover from his vocal issues at the time. :-(
Steve Augeri was a good fit. I will agree on that. Arrival & Generations both are top notch. Not my favorites, though.

But the “clone” Arnel can SING…I dont particularly care for Arnel singing Perry songs, but the newer material is pretty darn good. I like the Freedom album.

Arnel can certainly sing. And I was very impressed first hearing him. But live I find him a bit forced and trying too hard kinda thing. Cannot quite put my finger on it. Having said that, after the car crash that was Soto singing, he's ideal. (I actually like Soto, just didn't enjoy the two gigs we saw him do with Journey)
