My comment IS about the audio. It's why I said "it SOUNDS produced instead of raw/live." Hard to objectively judge vocals when everything is pre-recorded, mixed, etc. - even moreso when recorded from a Manilla broom closet. Produced or not, he hits a pretty good note at the end. Not too many 50+ years old guys running around who can do that. For all he is or isn't, Arnel is a pretty rare talent. AP has been going on YouTube live randomly and just singing acapella. Def. still has a voice. Question is - can it withstand the rigors of touring? Personally, I think they should just give Jason 5 or 6 songs. Make the shows longer and give AP a rest.

no doubt.
I saw him at the Shoreline his on his 1st tour with them... his power back then was pretty amazing.
His voice is just aging... like all voices do.

So do they get everything they can out of him and burn him out like Augeri or try to help him by spreading out shows, sets, etc. to see if they can get a few more years out of him. As old as Neal and Jon are, I would be surprised if they go for everything that they can right now, his voice be damned.

I don't think Arnel is gonna let them simply grind his voice to dust....
He's absolutely filthy rich in Filipino terms.... and his choosing to live there instead of in the US pretty much tells me he's gonna do things on his terms.

Neal and Jon have shown with Augeri and JSS that their primary concern is themselves. Arnel has possibly another 20 years beyond what those two will do because of his age, and he is way more marketable in good health than either of them.

I feel they have worked with Arnel on some level. A few shows have been cancelled when he was sick and songs have been detuned. I know they tried detuning with JSS. JSS said it made singing the material even more difficult. With Augeri.....they should have detuned earlier and also utilized Deen earlier.

Perhaps one of the reason they dumped JSS was because of difficulty with the right key.
