Both this kid and Jimi have great voices. Where he fall shorts and what places Jimi in a world his own is how Jimi makes you feel and believe each word in the songs he sang. I appreciate and respect this kid for his talent but Jimi was so special and moved many hearts and souls as we grew through the 80s. Truely missed

@rob052771 3 жыл бұрын

The issue is not that "the kid" can't sing, he is quite good, but Jamie had a talent of being able to sing with an incredibly emotive quality so that you actually felt the words of the song....It's like when Peter Cetera left Chicago or Steve Perry left Journey...yes these guys can sing, but it is not as emotive as the original singer....

But then you would say he was emulating Jimi… he was hired for a reason

@steveparker5406 2 ай бұрын

There’s simply singing a song versus being “inside” a song where the stakes are high and personal and that feeling is conveyed in the tone. Very few singers can effectively pull that off…Jamison, Mercury, Stewart and Perry are a few who can do that with conviction.

I was pissed when I saw this video and this new singer. I had no idea this band was still doing their thing. This singer wasn't even born when this song came out. Then, I heard him sing, and I closed my eyes thinking about the 3-times I saw Survivor in the 1980s LIVE, and I smiled, and I said to myself; I can't go back, but for now, this will do! Good job kid, those are some huge shoes to fill!. RIP JIMI!

@juliechen1200 2 жыл бұрын

I think we all have to overcome the trauma of Jimi's sudden passing, and move on to give the new brave kid more encouragement. Everyone is one of a kind. Jimi's taking an immortal place in our heart doesn't mean we can't like another vocalist, talented in other way.

The singer definitely has a voice/range. He’s young, give him time. He’s still new at this. It will all fall in place within time. Jami would want this band to continue on with out him. Keep in mind a singer can always be replaced, not their music. As long as they stick to his legacy, they will sell shows. For what it’s worth......I’m sure Jami is smiling down on these guy’s for continuing where he left off. They’re all Survivors!

Peterik had the right vision for survivor and Jamison was the expressive singer with an outstanding voice. When a band looses such 2 important members there is only one solution (MHO): To end up the band to honour their past. Nowadays there are only the survivor-logo and JS left. Far too less to keep the old spirit alive. For me, this band-version is a joke that will never come near to the old days....

@briandavis2885 2 жыл бұрын

It lost more than two members. The only guy from their 80s lineup is Frankie Sullivan. Marc Droubay left in 1988 I think. Stephan Ellis left in 1987 due to illness, Jimi and Jim left because Frankie is a douche.

The kid sounds great. He's on pitch and paying a great tribute to Jimi's legacy. Singing and Performing are two totally different things. At one point the guitarist gets the singer to come out front and interact with the crowd. That's just a lack of stage experience and comes over time after doing show after show. The guitar player looks like he's still doing blow like it's 1982.

Maybe we will accept that Survivor band transfers to more like Chicago band style. The kid has his own unique great voice. He 's just a kid , normal to perform like a kid, even like an idol singer. Give him more time. Life experiences will make him perform more naturally, I believe. Allow the kid walk his own way. Maybe let him get some interviews, tell his own stories. Tell everyone why and how he likes Survivor and how m any efforts he has put to perform Survivor on stage. The more we get to know a man , the better we'll like him

I think Jimi Jamison would think the world of Cameron Barton. He's holding his own here. You can't ask a singer to be somebody else, and to his credit he's not trying to. All you can ask is be on pitch, and have your "instrument" ready, including getting into the performance. He's done that, and I think he's done it well!
