Comments on: Filipino Man the new Lead Singer of Journey via YouTube http://www.8asians.com/2007/12/06/filipino-man-the-new-lead-singer-of-journey-via-youtube/ A blog for Asian Americans Mon, 13 Feb 2012 22:44:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: ed http://www.8asians.com/2007/12/06/filipino-man-the-new-lead-singer-of-journey-via-youtube/comment-page-1/#comment-45927 ed Wed, 12 Dec 2007 23:16:42 +0000 http://www.8asians.com/2007/12/06/filipino-man-the-new-lead-singer-of-journey-via-youtube/#comment-45927 I have a lot of Scorpions vinyl records I bought in the early 80's and I already knew then that they were from Germany, and so with Nektar, Osibisa Woyaya (African), and the Rammstein (lately). They are all have strong accent and nobody complained. Rammstein even sings in German ('seen XXX with Vin Diesel?--or listen to Lichtspielhaus album) yet nobody complained. Now that a Filipino is singing for Journey, they started to whine. Jimi Hendrix has to go to England because they said blacks cannot play guitar-heavy rock 'n' roll. You want very strong accent? Listen to Bob Marley. You want singers with strong accent? Americans. A true English dialect was started by the Brits. It was just by the diversity of the new immigrants that it has become Americanized. It was started in the U.S. by the "FIRST BOAT PEOPLE" from England on the boat called Mayflower in 1620 that settled in Massachussettes. We just butchered the original and called it English-the American style. If you want pure English without an accent, then speak like the British. So, Asians, be proud. If somebody calls you FOB or boat people, you are not (not unless you are). Thell them you came first class--the airplane!

They did it all phonetically, didn't speak a lick of English, and you can hear it. But I don't hear it with this guy, sounds a lot like Steve Perry to me... as for the discrimination? Sure, but I think it'll be more to the fact that he's not Perry, esp. since Journey fans have been griping about that all along... and yeah, who listens to Journey anymore besides awesome people like me? ;-) Heh, listen to the Scorpion’s first album. They did it all phonetically, didn’t speak a lick of English, and you can hear it.

He went to college and the medium of teaching in the Philippines is English from Kinder to College. (Sorry about the typos on my earlier message--fat fingers) This shows how racist comments are being thrown at Asians-- maybe if he is white European with accent it's okay for you. This shows that you don't have diversity as I can see how you stereotype other people.
