Journey with Arnel Pineda in Oprah and Live in Manila DVD

If you truly admire and support the Filipino artists, then you must never miss this DVD of the Journey with Arnel Pineda Live in Manila. It’s so amazing how this young mad, who struggled in streets of Manila, striving band after band, looking for success, has made his journey into stardom. Arnel Pineda now leads Journey back on top, singing their hits from the past and creating new songs for today’s generation.

Last Monday, October 5th in Oprah, Arnel once again opened his story from when he a little boy, sharing his struggles and how Journey discovered him off YouTube and what he has become playing and singing with the band he never dreamed of being a member and a lead vocalist. He even admitted on Oprah that the fact that he is a guest in her show is still unbelievable. Oprah admired Arnel while Journey opened the show with their hit song, “Don’t Stop Believing” and was more than amazed when they ended the show with “Faithfully”. Oprah admitted of having goose bumps while Arnel was singing.

Journey’s Manila concert was packed with 25,000 fans and is now available in DVD at all Walmart stores for a low price of $10.00. I’m pretty sure that those of you wanting to get a pirated copy for free will really look cheap and not being able to afford to purchase one and yet can pay for the internet for those who wants to download a free pirated copy off some file sharing program or have someone rip it and burn it for you instead of buying the real deal for an affordable price.

The concert DVD comes in two CD’s which contains new and classic hits from Journey. Though the concert was held in Manila, very present in the audience are some foreign fans. Arnel mentioned on Oprah that he was really pressured to perform in front of his fellow citizens in the Philippines but pulled it through and all that was expected of him, he was able to give. The concert is long but worth it. Nothing fancy about the concert but it’s simply a rock concert from a well known foreign band with a Filipino lead vocalist.

Last January of this year, Arnel Pineda performed with Lani Misalucha in a US concert tour and nicheGrafix and Adobo County Pinoy Lifestyle Magazine had the opportunity to meet Arnel in his Anaheim concert at the Heritage Forum. He has blossomed more since that time and according to some sources, will have some more solo concert this coming 2010. Arnel has also established his AP Foundation here in Orange County as a way of giving back the blessings he gained to the children in the Philippines.

More power to Journey and Arnel Pineda!
