Hopefully this can put to rest some of the doubts people are having about Mr. Valli and whether or not he was lip syncing his set for the 4th of July celebration...I worked on the sound crew for that event, I was there during rehearsals and the live show, and, I can state unequivocally 100% that Mr. Valli DID NOT lip sync at any time during his performance, there was no pre-recorded tracking used and what you heard that wonderful evening was a true legend using his God given talent to entertain a fantastic audience...I can't speak for any other performances with Mr. Valli, but on that night what you heard was live vocals from him
Frankie is not lip syncing here. At one point in "Grease" he slips up and starts a wrong phrase and corrects himself. He wouldn't lip sync a mistake. Not even a tiny one. Frankie is one of our greatest living entertainers.
I don’t feel like he is either cause Can’t Take My Eyes Off You does sound slightly different to the recording like the way he’s singing it sounds different so I believe this is live
Anyone who thinks this is lip synced or auto tuned is obviously ignorant, a troll, or someone who speaks just to hear the sound of their voice. They have no knowledge of music at all. This man is and has always been a mega talent and at his age right now I would put his voice up against any performer over 50. If we are lucky this man will never retire but keep on performing and bringing joy, class, and entertainment to all his loyal fans.
monica burgess wow you guys enjoying playing off each other's posts. Neither you have made mention of me pointing out his mouth mismatch at 11:02. Also, any performance of this song for the better part of a decade is IDENTICAL. instead of making random statements and insults, argue those points I just made.
Damean De Leon also pointing out that many reviews of his shows say they suspected him of lip syncing. I can't tell you another performer with that quantity of similar reviews
Enoch T It's the same thing with Paul McCartney, other rockers, and every performance of a Broadway musical. Good artists know how to replicate their performances.
This VERY talented man is 80+ years old, and can STILL hit those notes without any problem!!! His voice never quakes or falters, always there. What a singer. Frankie, you're sensational!!!
I WANT TO SEE SOME OF THE ROCKERS FROM THE 60-70-80S TRY THIS WHEN THEY ARE 81 HE WILL BE 82 MAY,3,2015.SIMPLY A LIVING LEGAND! UNDISPUTIBLE,UNDENIABLE!
Mortimer no lip sync.auto tune,perhaps,no lip sync.he made a mistake in the words of1 song.how can you lip sync and make a vocal mistake?get real Mortimer,you are jealous because your junk no longer works.were you in Trading Places> do you have a brother named Randolph Duke?
THIS MAN DESERVES EVERY THING......THE BEST EVER,NONE WILL COME CLOSE......A LEGEND FOR SURE,BLESS YOU MR.VALLI,THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT MUSIC.AND THANK YOU FOR THE AWESOME POSTING,LOVE IT.
It is great to see so many younger than 35 enjoying this. Shows no matter what generation, people in this country know good music, no matter what their age. I also felt that, despite the abysmal situation our country is in, we can "hang on to what we got," as long as it is GOOD!
WELL PUT,NICK!AND SO TRUE.HE GIVES ME HOPE THAT THERE IS A CHANCE! THE 4 SEASONS HAVE RECORDED OVER 1200 SONGS SINCE 1960 WHEN THEY TOOK THAT NAME,AND NOT A SWEAR WORD IN 1 OF THEM.VALLI IS CURRENTLY FINISHING UP A TRIBUTE CD TO HIS IDOL AS A KID,FRANK SINATRA WILL BE RELEASED ON HIS 82 DIRTHDAY,MAY,3,2015
I had the honor of being Frankie's bodyguard when I was a police officer in Daytona Beach during his concert there in the 80s. He was very cranky as he had been on the road for a long time but his music was incredible. I was amazed at how tiny he is with such a powerful voice. I came away with an autographed picture which still hangs on my wall.
AND THERE IT WILL REMAIN,MARK.Frankie can be cranky at times,but overall a very nice man from what I have been told.who would have thought that in 2014 he would still be at it.a true American Icon!
..... I get the idea of the possibilities at Frankie and Bob who are very non political people are probably conservatives . And they keep their politics to themselves not like your normal left-wing Hollywood singer or actor very non political and I respect them for that
stephen pannizzo Actually that's not true. Check out the song "Beggar's Parade". Pretty much an indictment of a lot of the garbage that came out of the 60's.
realmusicnj . You know I completely forgot about that song is probably one of the earliest protest songs if you want to call it that that I really ever heard aside maybe from Dylan very very good observation thank you very much for bringing that up
Im black american grew up in the late 60 and 70 i remember hearing all of Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons my entire life all those songs are part of the history of my up bringing....A true American musical legend if there ever was one..every song a timeless classic..every time i hear one of their songs i remember a happy part of my childhood and life and I smile.....thank you guys for the wonderful memories.
Frankie looks good and sounds good all these years later. I was hoping that the "billing" "The Four Seasons" meant that the original group was going to be on stage with him. I guess this is the backup group he performs with today. Good to know he's still around and performing. Sounds like he did back in the day. He's still got the "chops". Good show Frankie.
Take a real good look at that crowd, my people. I'm 25. There are kids in there 10yrs & more younger than me, rocking out to these songs as if they just came out yesterday. This is what great music should do. It must've made Frankie feel so good to see the audience's collective reaction.
pretty good shape as well.i went to see tony Bennett,and he was half mental.all he talked about was Obama. and he has trouble walking,frankie does not seem to have any trouble at all
Frankie Valli and the Four seasons, Perry Como, Frank Sinatra , Dean Martin, Tony Bennet , frankie Avalon , Connie Francis , Bobby Darin , Al Martino , Henry Mancini, Liza Minnelli how many italians in American music .......
A.MAZ.ING! Long live Frankie Valli! He looks great and is still singing at 80! God bless him and I'm so glad he's getting to enjoy the tribute of Jersey Boys and a resurgence of his great music. Go Frankie!
To those even suggesting lip sync... Listen to the second verse of "Can't My Eyes Off of You" and on.... he sings the notes in a different melody. Note the words "And I thank God I'm alive... 'You're' just too good to be true" and on the chorus.... " O pretty baby" and the " Love you baby... Love youuuu....." That's not how he typically ends the song in the original versions in any way... If he truly has been lip syncing and been using this same version over and over... we would have multiple cases of the songs being performed "live" from many other events that would sound exactly the same musically.
the one thing that amazed me about the performance was watching the audience and seeing so many young people singing along to the songs. just goes to show that Frankie valli's music reaches audiences of all ages
I LOVE IT, only... seemed somewhat stiff, not relaxed as I always associated 4Seasons Music... But a Great JOB none the less!!!!! (Course location may have been a BIG part of IT).
❤♥♪♫ I only going to say this .. ❤.Frankie Valli ❤ is ♥♪♫ A-M-A-Z-I-N-G ♥♪♫ ♥♪♫ W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L ♥♪♫ and those ❤ guys ❤ of the chorus are very, very ❤ handsome ❤
I think this post today is very appropriate the day after a sweeping election.....as well, this is Mr. Frankie Valli performing live 50 years after his release of "Sherri". this American still has the it factor! GOD BLESS AMERICA!
the electorate spoke loud & clear, like liberty's bell ringing! NOW if our representation gets the people's mandate making the president truly a lame duck we may rise again in glory. Our work is not done with a vote cast, it has just begun!
@Monica, what does this video have to do with elections. In 2008 one party swept in because people were tired of the current party and yes it happened again this past election. It always happens no one is ever happy with whom is in office it's the American way. But I digress here and again I state what does Frankie Valli's wonderful performance here have to do with elections? I must add Frankie you look good and you sound wonderful!
It is great seeing Frankie Valli on stage! Still going pretty strong at 80 years old! The Four seasons were my very first favorite pop group! I started listening to pop (rock n roll) in 1962 when I was 10 years old, right at the time they came on the scene with 'Sherry". I have never lost my enthusiasm for their music. BTW, was Bob Gaudio there?
I love how he's still got that brightness in his eyes. It's really beautiful and sweet to watch. Also, watching this when it first aired inspired me to write a "Jersey Boys"-based fanfiction.
You people who are bashing Frankie have got a disease called lyp sync phobia. The real reason you are bashing him is because you're jealous that you could not do half of what he can do at his age of more than 80 years. If you don't have anything good to say about the Rock and Roll legend Frankie Valli then don't say anything at all.
Frankie valli is the Best! the all time favorite. his music has a lot of sense no that crap just like what the kids seeing now. i love his music and amazing voice. thank you so much for this video.
I've read on more than one occasion that Frankie will not sing falsetto unless the original group is behind him. Notice that none of his solo hits have any falsetto. While I can hear the age in his voice (and thank gawd he doesn't have that warbling vibrato that most older singers seem to get) pre-recorded or not, he's still got it!!
all those saying lip sync, you are 100% wrong its called talent, something thats missing in todays artists that need auto tune jsut to hold a note, Frankie Valli has more talent in his pinkie than most artists with record deals today because idiot people have no clue waht talent is anymore
I'm a 72 years old Brazilian, never left the country but I still have the record "Can't take my eyes off you". My children sang it, now my grandchildren sing it too. They don't know the words but, when it comes to "I love you baby", they shout out loud. God bless Frank, the Four Seasons and all who contributed to make this song and other hits broadcasted to the whole world.
I was there! Talk about one incredible experience! Frankie was superb! Listen to that voice! I mean, he sounds as good as he did...how many years ago? Amazing man!
5th week of confinement in Seattle, stumbled on the Frankie Valli concert and forgot about the confinement ... Thank-you Skarld, I needed music and carefree moments.
Great Point.and a president with an agenda that will do and has done our country great harm.2 yearscannot go by quick enough.what was it?Im going to Transform the Nation.He sure did. I don't recognize it anymore.Do you? iknow you don't,just from your comment .swallow your pride,vote rebublican,all the way,and then the task of waking those assholes begins.dont mess with the dems of left.they will never listen to anything.Dr.Michael Savage TheSavage Nation.listen to him on you tube after 730 est,he will provide the truth,and has for 20 years!
When I reach his age I hope I am able to do 1/10 of what he can do! What was good to see was all the young people so into the music. They were loving every minute of it.
What a blessing you are Mr. Valli! Take some time for your self, rest for awhile the world is not as we once knew it, it will take the life out of you now. I am 67years old and I walked down many dirt roads singing your songs. God Bless!
Italians are born w golden voice. No doubt. Studied bel canto for years.& they don't need. When it came to this moment, I really envied people attending this Capitol Hill July 4th concert. Wish I was there, too. Greatest songs & talents are on 1980's.
It's funny...I prefer tall men Frankie isn't...I prefer deep voices Frankie's isn't....I dont care for arrogance & I've seen him on a show where I thought he was....Yet I think this man is not only very talented.....He's getting sexier & he aint no spring chicken. Shaking my head ....I just saw this show of him with white hair & WOW.....He must be a warlock cuz he's got me under a spell & I'm 30 years younger. "GO FRANKIE"...I nod my head in continued admiration.
JENNA YOU PIC SAYS YOU ARE A NICE,PRETTY AND HONEST LADY.SO FEW OF YOU LEFT IN OUR GREAT NATION.GOD BLESS YOU.STEVEN PANNIZZO MY LAST NAME SHOULD TELL YOU WHY I ADMIRE VALLI AND THE SEASONS SO MUCH HAVE SEEN THEM ABOUT 17 TIMES IN MY 60 YEARS ON THIS PLANET CALLED EARTH!.YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND THOSE YOU CARE FOR.HOW LUCKY WE WERE WHEN JOE PESCI INTRODUCED BOB GAUDIO TO TOMMY DEVITO AND FRANKIE VALLI!
The Four Seasons Well I'm not the screaming girl type. Never was. I do appreciate talent & enjoy what little i have seen in my life. ( 51 years this yr.) The photo was taken @ 42. Thank You though. I'll be going to my other photo again. Valli aged like a fine wine....I'm more like milk...LOL
I don't understand why some are tearing a 80-year old legend apart because they feel he is lip syncing. If you listen carefully, you can tell he is NOT. Listen to the originals, listen some of them he performed live through the years and re-listen to this performance. You should get your answer to the claims of lip syncing. He is one of last true great performers (of any genre or color for that matter) left from a bygone era when entertainers really loved their music and fans. He has true class and showmanship that hearkens you back to the days of Sammy Davis, Jr; Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Perry Como, etc. Frankie Valli is one of a handful of entertainers left that has seen Rock & Roll evolve from its infancy up until today. Let's cut him a little slack and not be so critical. HE'S A TRUE LIVING LEGEND!!!
gracias por existir franky te escuché por primera cuando tenía 12 años ahora tengo casi 50 tu música la traigo en mi sangre crecí con ella eres un ser de luz
Frankie Vali songs and his personal story make him a legend. He "paid" for his success, i admire him and the four season. Wish him all the best in world
WoW! Frankie has a GOD gifted a talent like no one in history! Probably only Sinatra comes close! I could listen to his mesmerizing Voice/Hits 23/7! A real Gift to the World! Frank Vali, You are undoubtedly the Best of the Best!! Love to love listening and enjoying! You are Truly a Generational Talent of a Lifetime!! GOD Bless & Keep You Dearest Frankie!!🙏🏻❤️❤️✝️
