Journey and Foreigner struggled when they brought in Steve Augeri and Johnny Edwards respectively, but both now have new leases of life with Kelly Hansen and Jeff Scott Soto.
Journey regained their loss with a dynamite live singer in the form of Jeff.

Uh, tap the breaks. Soto can't hit the high notes, so the drummer does. How does that give Journey a dynamite live singer.
Jeff Soto Scotto just plain sucks. What a disappointing show they put on in Dallas. It defeated EVERYBODY. I'm sure Neal & Jonathan had a good night, but you'd never know.
Here's how Don't Stop Believin' went:
SOTO: Born and raised in
CASTRNOVA: South Detroit
SOTO: He took the midnight train goin'
SOTO & CAST: Anywhere
or the chorus:
SOTO & BAND: Don't Stop Believin'
CASTRNOVA: Hold on to that feelin'
Augeri is much better at the job. Thankfully, Journey only employed Soto to finish the tour.

the new INXS have an entirely new album, of new songs, with the new singer...
so no its not just the back cataloge[/QUOTE]
Let's be real, ok? No one is going to these "new" INXS concerts to hear the new crap (which is precisely what it is), they are going to hear the back catalogue. Aside from "Pretty Vegas", has anyone else even heard another new INXS song on the radio?????[/QUOTE]
yes acctually, i have heard another track on the radio, and the rest of the album isnt that bad acctually. i got it for free, but i likley would have bought it[/QUOTE]
Ladies and Gentlemen, I do believe that we do have a real live J.D. Fortune fan in the house! :-)

i'm not a huge die hard fan or anything, but i think that he does do a good job and deserves a little more respect than he is given...yeah there are the arguments for and against replacing singers
oobviously freddie can not be replaced, but look at ACDC. that worked out pretty damn well for them
the fact of the matter is members of bands like inxs and even queen, would not get very much attention if they were to start new bands or even go solo....its true,, most people in north america didnt even know roger taylor or brian may HAD solo careers.
if the inxs guys were to just try and starta new band now no one would notice, and the same prettyt much holds true for brian and roger. to they use a name that everyone knows so they can get the music to the fans, and possibly....AS THEY HAVE DONE..go on decent sized tours in decent sized buildings, instead of going unnoticed playing at small venues

True, true! :-) I must admit, I didn't like J.D. at all at first, but then he grew on me. He has done pretty well with the new INXS....I just cannot call them INXS like I used to...I loved Michael Hutchence too much - I know J.D. is not trying to fill his shoes, but he is doing a pretty good job at touring with INXS.

I know they did American Idol, but I hope they never get stuck in that reality show crap!![/QUOTE]
I cannot believe that they did AI - I never thought I would see a band of Queen's caliber on that show. They have turned down countless offers from the Mark Burnett camp to do the RockStar series, but they appear on AI - I know they did it for publicity, but still....[/QUOTE]
I was very surprised to see them on AI also, cause the thing that I like about Queen is their mystic, and the fact that they all seem to be equals!! But I guess it was for publicity. But I hope they never do one of those Rock star Nova crappy shows!!! And I hope they never end up having a movie done about them either, just my thoughts, not that they really count...lol

In response to Microwave, maybe Jeff had a bad night. He needed no help from Deen Castronovo in Atlanta, he hit all the notes himself. Castronovo just sang three songs, the rest was all Jeff. They offered to drop the keys of the songs for Jeff but he wanted to keep everything as it was, and he did a damn good job. I've seen Jeff live, I've hung out with him after the show, he does not suck.
To say Augeri was better for the job is a laugh - why is Jeff in the band to finish the tour? Because Augeri was MIMING. I'd rather have a Jeff performance below 100% with Castronovo helping out than a mime act on lead vocals.
The word in the circles I mix in is Augeri won't be back in Journey anytime soon, and he was the wrong choice from the outset. That's maybe why there were having to give away free copies of the "Generations" album on the last Augeri tour.
