Gabby Barrett sings “Don't Stop Believing" Steve Perry in Audience American Idol 2018 Finale Top 3

Former Journey lead singer Steve Perry gave one American Idol contestant the surprise of a lifetime this weekend after her performance of the band’s hit “Don’t Stop Believin'”.

Perry was in the audience during Gabby Barrett’s final performance on Sunday night’s episode, although Barrett wasn’t aware of it until after she finished the song.

“Oh my gosh, I know who that is,” screamed Barrett as Perry laughed from the audience.

“She was amazing, that’s my critique,” said Perry when invited by the show’s judges to give his opinion. He also claimed it was “the most amazing version” he’s ever heard.

What a delight to read the comments and find that everyone on YT is educated on Steve Perry. His clarity and range is off the scale. He remains humble somehow. Praise God.

Steve Perry is a class act. He listened to this girl struggle to hit his notes with aplomb and grace. Then gave nothing but encouragement and platitudes.

Truly a King amongst mere men.

Steve should have surprise The Voice, because Steve is The Voice.

Steve Perry's voice is uniquely outstanding, huge fan since the 70s and 80s during my teen years.
