You are not entirely incorrect. Jeff Scott Soto was Journey's vocalist for a few months. When they decided to continue on after a few years of being idle following Steve Perry's departure, they recruited Steve Augeri from a band called Tall Stories. He did two Journey albums (and and EP) and had a really strong voice. I really liked him. Saw them live 2x with him. Midway through the tour for the second album he did with them (Generations), his voice started to give out. JSS came in to finish the tour and he was reported to be their official new singer and working on an album with them.
One day they announced that Arnel Pineda was their new vocalist. He is from the Philippines. He was in a Journey tribute there and Journey found him via a video on YouTube. I have the album he did with the (Revelation) and he is a good singer. I saw them last summer when they toured with Heart and Cheap Trick. Great triple bill. Arnel has a huge Philippino audience. I could not believe the number of Philippinos that came to the Journey to see him.
