Replacement Lead Singers

Okay I just watched a Journey concert in Manilla with Arnel Pineda singing (the Philipino singer who now has replaced Steve Perry),  and it reminded me of debates we had in the office over a band finding a younger singer who mimics another older vocalist's style from back in their heyday, and perhaps better than the original can now that they're older - this would only really be the case of the  stratospherically high flying singers:

Steve Perry 

Lou Gramm

Brad Delp

Steve Walsh ( never to my ear successfully duplicated, especially on the insanely high vocal parts on lesser known songs)

Ironically for me the only time I was mad at the attempt was when Steve Walsh quit Kansas and was replaced by Dino Elefante  (they had a hit single, but he couldn't touch Walsh for keyboards nor soaring vocals)..,

Why does it not only not bother me that Arnel sounds better than Perry currently, but I cheer him on?  Some of my friends would always side with the old lead singer, even when the reason he wasn't singing anymore would paint that singer in a negative light vs the band, and generally I would applaud the musicians for fighting on?  Who knows, but my reaction to the shift in Kansas in the early 80's keeps me from understanding ( except Steve Walsh from that era could out sing anyone in rock in my opinion)

I did three sets of all the exercises today, and went for a countryside car ride with Ki to get out of the house.  So hopefully the exercises are building my stamina.  I can do more before taking a rest already and that's a big deal.  I still don't want to eat a lot, but am managing at least 1,500 calories or more each day.

Oh and I likely side with the musicians (like in Styx) as I am a musician and have dealt with lead singers who weren't always "in the band" so to speak.
