First there was Happy Slip, then Cebu Prisoners – NOW – Arnel Pineda
Arnel Pineda was from a band that posted Youtube videos of their performances. He caught the eye of Journey (yes, the U.S. band very popular in the 80’s) and was called to audition. He’s now the new vocalist and is planning for concert tours with Journey in South America.
Go Arnel!! Pinoys are making their dreams a reality because of Youtube. I better start making videos now.. 
What’s the video that caught their eye? Watch it after the JUMP.
maganda sana at buo boses nya pero bakit halos nakasigaw siya hanggang matapos ang kanta?
pero ok talaga sya.
Do not forget CHARICE PEMPENGCO. She is currently making waves in the youtube community. She is on her way now to the USA to guest in the Ellen Degeneres show and is considering an offer from MCA Universal for a recording deal. If you have not seen her yet, go to you tube and enter her name in the search field.
Korekek ka tita miriam!! nga pala, I forgot. I even blogged about her. Thanks sa cheezmax!!!
haha toni – - eh kasi nga siguro ginagaya ang sigaw ng journey.. he-he!! pero i’m sure may training na yan dahil tour with the professionals na siya no? wow galing!
Correction to your article, it’s not The Zoo themselves (Arnel’s band) who posted their own videos on YouTube. It’s actually Noel Gomez, Arnel’s fan and friend, who posted more than sixty of Zoo videos there, out of the hundreds of Zoo videos. Noel’s “Faithfully” video was the one where Neil Schon of Journey discovered Arnel Pineda.
Thanks for the correction Perry. Will update the post and credit you.
Cheers!
