When Arnel sings, he has these loving gestures he gives to the crowd and they are so touching! The first one I noticed was during his first Vegas concert when after singing "Open Arms" and he received an applause, he tapped twice with his right hand his left chest, then put that hand on his lips to kiss it then threw that "kissed hand" to the crowd. Then this Houston vid when Ms. Debbie tied his shoelace and as a "thank you" to her, he kissed his one hand and reached out for her hand. I dunno...I just find them so sweet. Just simple gestures that speak a thousand words.
Probably other singers do that, too, but there is something in Arnel that makes them more meaningful.
Am I being too cheesy here?

Loc: manila, Philippines No, you are not being cheesy.
I agree with you that when those gestures come from Arnel, they are more meaningful. Arnel doesn't speak much but you can tell a lot from his actions. He's real, there's no pretense, very consistent. What you see is what you get. Other than that, He's a gentle soul!

Loc: USA Nope, not cheesy at all!! LOL The loving gestures Arnel gave during the first Vegas concert were specifically for the Delichicks. They are devoted to him and have supported him for a long time. Definitely a fun and funny group of people who love Arnel and Journey.
It is so nice that Arnel finds ways to communicate his affection and appreciation for Journey fans everywhere.

Loc: Philippines Not cheesey at all. The DSign as it is now called was a special request from the Delis relayed to Arnel. What makes it special is how gracious Arnel is to his fans.
Truly a great and caring guy!

Loc: Vancouver, WA USA Maybe we can come up with the " Swoon" signal for the new "swoons" that are too tall to get in the D-chick group !! Maybe we should get this swoon group a little more organized and get a signal too...
that's a great idea Penny. I didn't meet the requirement to join the d-girls so maybe its time for the swoon to gather up and organize. I would like to have our own sign too!
calling all swoons! time to get our heads together

Posts: 143 so any idea for a swoon sign anyone? I just love the smile and gesture during the faithfully song 00:13 houston concert
the d-girl sign I believe is requested in the end of open arms. So maybe for us its Faithfully and the touching of the face with a smile will be ours while singing the lyrics "your on my mind". Don't want him to look cheesy but it really is very adorable makes me wanna . He doesn't have to do it all the time.... Just wishfull thingking, but I'l take any love gestures from him
When I see them in Sept. I'm gonna give Arnel the Shaka sign (Your thumb and pinky sticking out and your 3 middle fingers folded in - with a little back and forth sway).... if he does it back, I know he seen me!

Loc: england.uk yes sweetheart, it is....
swoon means to faint and /or to be overwhelmed with a ecststic joy (that is a verb)

Posts: 23 I've been thinking about our SWOON signal too and I've got an idea but I wonder if Arnel would be able to remember this. Anyway it's this : make the "S" hand alphabet and kiss it then throw the kiss while making the "W" hand alphabet.
I'm a little embarrassed but I thought I'd throw it out there.
