#ok yes i know its actually because the same singer did kerrys songs for the entire game

The fact Kerry's voice sounds the same in Chippin' In (2023) and Off The Leash (2077) despite at some point between then having gotten what is effectively an autotune implant wired to his vocal cords, proves Johnny was wrong about Kerry's singing ability. Kerry always had the chops to be a solo act. Maybe Johnny said what he did as a way to motivate Kerry, but it ended in Kerry getting (what I'm sure was) a very invasive surgery for an implant he didn't need, because he could always sing. Johnny just didn't like sharing the spot light.
