JOURNEY's Live Performance at Super Bowl XLIII

Rocking pinoy pride Arnel Pineda of Journey performed "Don't Stop Believing" at Super Bowl* XLIII held at Tampa Bay, Florida.





However, some who were physically present during the show were disappointed with Arnel Pineda’s performance. Though it was not horrible, it was not that was expected from him. And that was so unfortunate, because that was the Super Bowl, the biggest audience he or the band could ever hope for as every TV in America is tuned in on the Super Bowl. And there are speculations that he must be tired or have strained his voice because the night before, he had a gig with another worldclass Filipina singer Lani Misalucha in San Diego.

Arnel should have done much better. He was amazing on the previous performances they had. I agree with others saying that he should prioritize his obligations as the newest frontman of Journey.

But having said that, I have no doubt that Arnel is a professional who will be in top form vocally especially in the coming Journey tours. I’m looking forward to see the same great performances as he had before, for the world to see.

And still I know, he will continually amaze me with his talent, and will always make me proud of my heritage.

Rock on AP!
