I think it's pretty obvious that he pretends to sing through a vocal filter, but it's actually just a recording.Mark pointed it out not because he sounds like a girl, but because it's totally identical to the studio recording.
We could be wrong, of course. Need to A-B this live version and the studio version to be completely sure.
The entire Santana's cover album "Guitar Heaven" is available for streaming on Santana's amazon.com page.
Check out his cover of "Riders On The Storm" with Chester and Ray Manzarek of The Doors here
On a side note, Robot Boy strongly reminded me of this song: http://www.amazon.de/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?__mk...amp;x=0&y=0
They are kinda on the same vein and the background sounds are similar.
Chester is a godfather of Cornell's son.
Scott is Chester's biggest idol since Chester was a teenager. They performed together on the Family Values Tour. Chester performed Velvet Revolver song on the Camp Freddy show.
Also, it almost feels like someone mixed up the song choices.
Chester performed "Whole Lotta Love" a lot with Camp Freddy and nailed it.
Scott Stapp (his track will be on the Deluxe version of the album) performed "Riders On The Storm" with The Doors on VH1 Storytellers. Scott Weiland performed a few other The Doors songs at the same show as well.
Amazon.de just posted 30-sec clips of the Santana's upcoming cover album called "Guitar Heaven: The Greatest Guitar Classics Of All Time".

Meh....Someone should honestly say Mike that his singing is not good at all.
He always seemed to realize the fact that he is not a singer. Since what he is so self confident that he's putting his "vocals" all over the tracks?
The dancy part is nice from the melody standpoint, but it sounds a bit toyish.
