    I love to hear vocalists that have their own very unique sound. I thought Steve Perry had the best voice in the whole world when I was a little girl, and now that my world is much bigger, I still do! Like other incredible singers, he puts his heart and soul into his music. He has a magnificent gift - he feels it and is able to pull you into him and the experience. It's hard to even put into words. One of my favorites:

    Couldn't agree more. Steve seemed to have such amazing technique, not to mention the super high voice he was born with.

    His performance looked very stressful to me. Why was he putting so much pressure to his stomach?
    Sounded great on the other hand, and it wasn't an easy song to cover.

    Hi, @kvourtzoumis!

    What is the count on the video timer where you see pressure on the stomach? It's a long video, and I'd like to look at the parts you are talking about. I presume you mean the Steve Perry video, because you can't see Ryan's stomach?

    From 2:40 he seems to be struggling a lot to breathe properly. I maybe wrong. But it's not nearly as effortless as Steve's.

    I think singing Steve Perry material effortlessly is an elusive quality for most mortals. Ryan is getting a lesson on how to do it, so he's in the learning phase. The abdominal area is the engine for great singing, so that's where any parts that require effort for a student or a master will be coming from.

    I love how Steve sings same live as he sings on his recordings, what a soft control of his voice. So recognizable )

    Steve Perry ... one of the top 5 Male singers of all time, in my very humble opinion. The opening lines of "Oh, Sherry" ... I will repeatedly start the song over just for those first lines.

    I want to know how Steve Perry hits the last note in the song Mother, Father. It sounds like an actual instrument. Thoughts?
