Hi, my name is John Stefan, a formal lead Trumpet player for Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons and I would like to "Correct" anyone who thinks that Frankie Valli is "lip-synching." The "delay" that you are seeing is because the person was recording the show on an iPhone was about 50ft. away from the stage, so you will see a "slight delay" from the movement of his lips singing the notes to the actual sound which will reach the device a "split second later." (sound travels at slower speed than light) If you look closely you will see that it is consistent throughout the entire show, his mouth will move a split second prior to you hearing the actual note. Now if it was professionally recorded, they would sync the voice to the music because they would be on two different tracks .

I would like to confirm that sir Frankie Valli is a great musician and singer of all time. He is even older the Beatles. If John Lennon was alive, he would be 5 years younger than Mr. Frankie Valli. I don't think Frankie Valli was lip-synching in his live concert. He performed lively.
It’s totally lip sync on the lead vocal and the recording has a lot of autotune. That’s not a criticism of Frankie Valli and most of the other vocals and instruments are live.
I not only grew up with this music but came from the same town. As an 89 year old Man, the sound or singing doesn’t match him but one done years back. He could just about talk let alone sing and reach those high notes. Sorry, but he’s lip syncing.
Thanks so much for posting this awesome concert 🎵! He’s been one of my all time favorite artists since the early 60s! Phenomenal talent for 89 years old! ❤Thanks again!
It is not the critic that counts it’s the man in the arena covered in blood and sweat …not the critic that knows neither nor defeat. Frankie is one of those hero’s that knows and lives as a talented , gifted musical entertainment icons Hess given so much to us and the world by his music and the way he’s shared by the example he’s set. A big thank you for all you’ve done and continue to do. (Nick)
He is awesome! Beautiful performance, i hope i get to see one of his concerts before he stops. I saw he just got married in 2023. Good for him. He has brought joy to millions. God Bless him and keep him strong to perform as long as he wants to.
Thank you George, I was beginning to think that I was the only one that realized what could take place with the sound versus the actual video in a live performance. Particularly if you're not using professional equipment with a professional sound man. Thanks for responding and for your support, John Stefan
Thank you for posting this fantastic Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons concert in its entirety. I'm from New Jersey and The Four Seasons are my all-time favorite musical group. Frankie Valli is a living legend and an absolute treasure. For him to continue to perform these shows and share this classic, timeless, music with his fans is wonderful. Since I can't get out to Las Vegas, being able to see this concert thanks to you is very much appreciated.
I don’t think he’s lip syncing. Check him out when he talks. It’s the same kind of lag and for sure it’s not lip sync when he talks! Don’t you think.? That said, these guys are the best. I saw Frankie when he performed in Austin in if I remember correctly, 2015. I actually thought he was not well when he performed at Bass. He seemed very tired and I was worried about him. So it is a blessing to see him still performing in 23. Without these guys, there never would have been Jersey Boys and I saw that 4 times from Vegas to Houston and more. You can never tire of this music and performances. God bless you, Frankie.
Eighty-nine years old!! Just amazing!! Thanks for posting this video, as I probably won't ever get to see him perform live! And the band and singers are just great!
A total legend. I'm sure he is 'singing' as well as anyone can at 89 years of age, but I'm also pretty sure what we're hearing is a recording. You only have to watch and listen when sometimes he is a bit slow to get the microphone up to his mouth to tell that. It's great that he is still wanting to carry on and his army of fans clearly adore it.
I totally agree. It's a shame that these 'aging rockers' can't just fade away and enjoy the fame they enjoyed 'back when'. check out the Rolling Stones. What happened ot "Sherry".
It's not great at all. It's sad and pathetic. I saw Paul McCartney still trying to recapture the adoration. He can't sing anymore. Who are their audience? Will they keep coming and paying to see these relics if we mount them after they die and stand them up like Barbie dolls?
I am amazed at how good he still sounds. Other singers his age don’t sound good any longer. I know what the original recordings sound like. He is not lip synching.
Thank you for posting this wonderful concert. He is still great and so handsome, it's those Italian genes! BTW To the person filming, I loved your hand dancing along with the back up singers, it was spot on! 😊
Ive been listening to frankie valli. For over 50 years. His voice is awesome. But when its over its over baby. Dont go on stage and pretend that you're singing. 😮😂 but i love you man. And thank you for all the sweet music and memories god bless.
My thanks to whoever posted this! I was able to see him, front row, at a large private party and got to meet him afterwards. (1990's). He is an amazingly nice person; humble beyond reason. To those below who don't think he is singing; you are incorrect. Watch videos of him over the decades. He has always sang this way. A high falsetto voice can not be achieved by opening your mouth wide. His falsetto is somewhat likened to voicing as ventriloquists sing. At his age here, it is amazing how great he sounds, and the fact that he can stand, and sing, and even hold a microphone that long is amazing. His catalog of songs is the best, and brings back the fondest memories of my youth. Thank you Frankie Valli for a lifetime of fantastic music.....
In the first couples of songs, Valli looks as if he's just lip-syncing. I'm thinking his part is either pre-recorded or they've got someone off stage singing his part. Now he's doing his 3rd song and he looks still like he's lip-syncing. He just doesn't look like he's opening his mouth wide enough to get the projection of his voice that we're hearing.
I'm a huge fan and wanted to kid myself that he was singing live, but it's obvious he's not - it's clear from his facial features.....and about half way through he was a few seconds late putting the mike to his face 😞
@@John_Michael2000 I have seen him perform a few years ago. I realize he is 89 but really I would not want to see this in person. Sad really. I give him credit for doing his " performance" but he is just a shell of his younger self. After watching this for a minute or two I realized he was not singing.
I just watched Frankie's Hollywood Walk of Fame event, also his 90th bday. He was very soft spoken, little energy when he spoke, and seemed to have a bit of a problem pronouncing full words. After seeing this, no doubt he's lip synching for many years now. No way he'd sound as good as he sounds in concert, he can barely speak full sentences w/o losing his breath. Still a national treasure though, and great songs too.
okay, yes he is a Legend, but this is really bad lip sync. I mean the mic is a foot away when he starts singing and the audio is perfect. No chance at his age he would have this tone to his voice and his mouth barely moves. But hey, it is what it is.
Same exact thing I noticed too.. I can only assume he might be having financial problems and needs to do this.. maybe a tax problem or maybe he's just broke.. who knows
Frankie Valli is one of the greatest ever I saw him at least a dozen times the first time at freedom land in New York City right after ragdoll came out. My favorite song that he does is I’ve got you under my skin. Of course I was there when he could hit every note on the song.. of course, his disco hits were awesome.
I came to watch for fake singing due to tiktok but stayed for the great music. Turns out he sings this whole set; I stand corrected. Frankie definitely still has it .
I saw him ten years ago at Sonoma state, after seeing John, Lloyd Young (the original Frankie in Jersey Boys) and saw the movie. I was thrilled and so glad i did!
❤ All this lipsyncing DOES NOT BOTHER ME. i have saw Him 2 times in 1 month and to get to SEE THIS ICONIC LEGEND IS AN HONOR!!!! I LOVE HIM SO MUCH❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Give the Man credit HE IS 89 AND STILL DRAWING CROWDS. CONCERTS
Yeah he's drawing crowds because no one knows he's lip synching. I mean he was great in his day, but is this fair to the fans? And is it any different than Mili Vanili. It would be one thing if he was a little more animated and actually acted like he's really singing. He brings the mic up to his face too slowly. He's reminding me of Mitch McConnell
@@randyjordan5521yeah he needs to take up fishing or some.other hobby. You wonder what the attendance would be if the lip syncing part was put on the ticket in large bold letters.
@@rickr2029 I would still go. He has hot back up singers and the music is great!!! Nothing like loud live music or pre-recorded.....whatever, I would still go!😂😂👍👍❤❤
@@bevacole that's great! With that logic, it devalues having talent and being honest to the fans. With that logic no need to hone your craft when you can fake and deceive. Of what Valli is apparently doing. I don't want my money to be a part of that. But if I knew the artist was 100% Live and with a fairly preserved instrument, then I'm there! There for talent and HONESTY!! 😅🤣🤪🤪😉😂
It's a Frankie Valli tribute, with Frankie in attendance but not performing. If there really is any doubt in your mind about this after hearing the difference in timbre in his recorded singing voice and his frail speaking voice, then you are officially hearing impaired. It's fine, as long as you know what you are gonna see.
Amazing! Love to see him still at it at his age & still has his voice at his age! This isn't lip synch as it shows in "Big Girls", he interacts with the audience & ya cant lip synch that! Incredible!!
To the contrary, go to the 35:25 mark when Frankie is singing "Tell Me" and lowers his microphone 2 seconds too long after the audience applauds him for switching to the falsetto.
To GuitarGreat member. Regarding the fact that if you are videoing his show with an iPad or iPhone the speed of the visual is going to get to you much faster than the sound of the audio. The standard metric for the speed of light is that of light traveling in vacuum. This constant, known as c, is roughly 186,000 miles per second, or roughly 1 million times the speed of sound in air Whoever put this video on UA-cam did not have the equipment to sync the voice with the video portion
Pretty Baby, I watched very closely and he WAS singing. His group took over the BIG lyrics: I LOVE YOU BABY, if you notice and he closed his eyes. At 89 years old, he’s doing great.
I just saw him 11/29/23 count basi theater he was sadly 😢lip singing and he looked like he was going to fall a couple of times . Sooo sad to see him go out this way . The Man is an icon Period !! Time to close the curtain . He’s the Best . I give him sooo much for staying in it !! Sooo many years him giving us just so much love and best pure entertainment to his fans !!! 🥂🥂🥂❤️
@@robertnash3432 That is sad. Maybe it's not ALL the songs? My grandparents loved him and played the 4 Seasons music all the time, along with others in that era. I agree they should leave on a high note way before they're forced to lip sync. Poor Frankie. Neil Diamond bowed out gracefully before his Parkinson´s set in. He is another one I grew up loving and still do. His live concerts are the best!
If You Say so . I saw different . Listien I Never said he was disappointing…. he’s 89 YEARS OLD !! lol GOD BLESS HIM!! But it’s time for this great man to rest . Enjoy his life what ever time he has left with his grandchildren & loved ones !! Do you know what it takes to perform a show ? Any Show !! He’s booked till next year ! Traveling entertaining his fans God Bless I get it . But let this man spend his last precious moments with his love ❤️ ones !! Give to them for all that they lost because he gave to US!!! Do You get it now !! 🙏
and THAT folks, is how it's done. Unbelievable. A true legend who would blow so many 'would be's' off the stage, even at 89. Bravo Sir and thank you for a lifetime of wonderful memories.
There was a time when lip sync and backing tracks to this level would cause public outrage. Now it seems every upstart young artist is doing it. Unfortunately its acceptable in todays society. That said, if it's alright to do now, this guy has earned his ability to exercise those musical liberties.
Sad, very sad that some people making comments about how great he still sings, people, he's not singing, this happens when you get older, not only does your whole body get weaker and worse, but your voice goes too. But he had a great career for sure, can't take that away from him.
I don't think people realize how hard it is for those backup singers to dance in sync like that while they sing at the same time. It's nearly impossible, and yet they do it and stayed generally sync'ed up
Nonsense, some singers still have it when they are older, and some singers their voices go to crap. Johnny Mathis , Frankie Avalon and this gentleman sound amazing, Paul McCartney, Frank Sinatra, not so much as they got older!
When an artist performs 5 days a week ! Two shows a night? Their lip syncing 😊. Make No Mistake! But people don’t really care as long as they see their Artist ? That’s A Fact !
Wow his voice is just amazing, I was at this show it was great to hear a Legend still singing like he's in his 20's, cost of tickets were high I wanted good seats well worth hearing that golden voice.
Feel sad to see such a legend not being able to know his career has come to an end,Yes the old saying the show must go on,but the guy just lyp syncing and do not think he blinked once all the time he on stage, pretty scary actually,but Will always love his music and songs.
Sadly he can't even move his mouth to lip sync track. At 89 why bother making them few extra dollars performing live. He made all that money from Jersey Boys on Broadway already. Wouldn't he rather be on a boat in Key West and retire to fishing and sunning.
Amazing how a place known as sin city, almost synonymous with youthful hedonism and all manner of decadence can uniquely show a pure sweetness in how it celebrates and honors its aging stars inevitably fading in strength and vitality, but always glowing in their talent, love of their craft and audience, and the joy of performing. A show like this is ALL Heart on Frankie Valli's part and the audience's alike. This sweetness reminds me of videos I've seen of Danny Gans shows: how funny that Vegas, the world's ultimate "adult playground" is never more truly "Vegas at its best" than in these most sweetest, wholesome of shows. Just incredible, but SO true.
Lip Sinc? at least he has the the raw talent to have become a true icon unlike the trash being done today that is mostly computer generated. You are no Frankie Valli or ever will be.
I Grew Up As A 70's Teen, But I Was Listening To 60's Music And Frankie Valli & Four Seasons Were My Favorite 60's Male Group😊👍 Although It's Not The Original Group, Frankie & These Guys Are Sure Doing A Fabulous Job!😊❤️👍 Sending Love From Chicagoland🤗💙👍
I'm sure back in the he was quite the performer but those days have clearly been gone for a long time. He's clearly lip syncing and not even moving his mouth at the right time. Before some of you say. "He's not lip syncing." He's not? Then why does he still sound like a young man when he sings? That's impossible. The human voice changes over time.
If he is lip-synching, then he needs to do one or two things in my opinion. Give up performing or put a disclaimer up, saying he’s lip-synching, but the rest of the band obviously is real. He needs to be upfront and honest with his audience which pays a lot of money to see shows nowadays.
Pure technology. Of course, it’s his voice you’re hearing. It’s him singing. Just not live, but, from recordings made over the years. At age 89, just being able to stand there and move his lips in time with his recordings is impressive. He doesn’t need the money, so, he must enjoy the audiences and performing.
Loved Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons. Grew up listening to them and buying their albums. That said, it’s sad to see him struggling to move and clearly not really singing. I heard him actually sing about 5+ years ago and could tell he was having difficulty with the upper range. Not sure if I’d rather pay to watch him lip sync or watch an old video performance or just listen to their albums. I still love him and all that he’s done for the music world, but it’s probably time to hang up the mic. I say that sadly. Oh, forgot to add, my very first concert ever was The Four Seasons in 1969 at the Westbury Music Fair on Ling Island, NY. What a great show that was! 😎👍🏻
@@randyjordan5521 Agreed. I eluded to that. He was starting to lose it 20 or so years ago and you could tell as the years went on his ability to reach high notes became marginal to today where he barely can speak the words. No disrespect, he is 90 and I get that it’s normal. We will all miss the early days of Frankie’s career belting out sounds like no one else.
Then he's not lip synching to his original recordings, but rather to recordings he made maybe 30 years ago. I saw him perform live at the Italian Fest in North Palm Beach Florida in the late 80's. He was still singing for real then. But even then he didnt sound like he did in the 60's
Sorry to break it to you Franki fans, but he's lip synching... His voice was gone years ago. You're paying just to see him standing there. The band is playing along on top of the recordings
Hi, my name is John Stefan, a formal lead Trumpet player for Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons and I would like to "Correct" anyone who thinks that Frankie Valli is "lip-synching."
The "delay" that you are seeing is because the person was recording the show on an iPhone was about 50ft. away from the stage, so you will see a "slight delay" from the movement of his lips singing the notes to the actual sound which will reach the device a "split second later."
(sound travels at slower speed than light)
If you look closely you will see that it is consistent throughout the entire show, his mouth will move a split second prior to you hearing the actual note.
Now if it was professionally recorded, they would sync the voice to the music because they would be on two different tracks .

Just to be out there and standing for a hour and a half and even sing at 89,is something.Frankie is still a legend.
Love the guy and his music which has given me so much pleasure in my 69 years on this earth.
I'm 75 yo and I remember when they arrived on the scene. I loved Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons then and I love them now.
Thanks so much for posting this awesome concert 🎵! He’s been one of my all time favorite artists since the early 60s! Phenomenal talent for 89 years old! ❤Thanks again!
Who keeps watching frankie valli i know i do 2023

Absolutely I'm only 28! And I'm gonna be listening to this Man/band The Four Seasons till I die I swear it!!!
That's a fantastic band of backing musicians
One of my favorites growing up, God bless you, Frankie
It is not the critic that counts it’s the man in the arena covered in blood and sweat …not the critic that knows neither nor defeat.

A big thank you for all you’ve done and continue to do. (Nick)
He is awesome! Beautiful performance, i hope i get to see one of his concerts before he stops. I saw he just got married in 2023. Good for him. He has brought joy to millions. God Bless him and keep him strong to perform as long as he wants to.
I have listened to Frankie Valli as early as in 1970 - Present.
Mr Valli looks Awesome !!! Listen to The Four season too!!
OMG. Thanks to a friend who told me about Frankie's current shows. Not to shabby had me singing along and feeling like a young girl again. ❤❤

Awesome, thank you so much for sharing!!!!!!!
He is there doing this at 90 because he enjoys do in it and maybe to win a litlle cash. He (and his band), deserves every minute and every dollar.

His net worth is $80 million. One wonders why he still performs. I'd spend my time in the hot tub and getting massages.
@@randyjordan5521yeah he needs to take up fishing or some.other hobby.
You wonder what the attendance would be if the lip syncing part was put on the ticket in large bold letters.
@@rickr2029 I would still go. He has hot back up singers and the music is great!!! Nothing like loud live music or pre-recorded.....whatever, I would still go!😂😂👍👍❤❤
@@bevacole that's great! With that logic, it devalues having talent and being honest to the fans. With that logic no need to hone your craft when you can fake and deceive.
Of what Valli is apparently doing.
I don't want my money to be a part of that. But if I knew the artist was 100% Live and with a fairly preserved instrument, then I'm there!
There for talent and HONESTY!! 😅🤣🤪🤪😉😂
I love him & will watch him forever❤❤❤❤❤
No, that's not Frankie's live voice but he does sing along with his live group and gives a great show!
Ggd61 thank you for the great show, Vegas baby,god bless
It's a Frankie Valli tribute, with Frankie in attendance but not performing. If there really is any doubt in your mind about this after hearing the difference in timbre in his recorded singing voice and his frail speaking voice, then you are officially hearing impaired. It's fine, as long as you know what you are gonna see.

Amazing! Love to see him still at it at his age & still has his voice at his age! This isn't lip synch as it shows in "Big Girls", he interacts with the audience & ya cant lip synch that! Incredible!!
It's fake and you're gullible
Yes, he does make mistakes too. He is singing, there are posts from people in the front row of his concerts.
To the contrary, go to the 35:25 mark when Frankie is singing "Tell Me" and lowers his microphone 2 seconds too long after the audience applauds him for switching to the falsetto.
To GuitarGreat member.
Regarding the fact that if you are videoing his show with an iPad or iPhone the speed of the visual is going to get to you much faster than the sound of the audio.
The standard metric for the speed of light is that of light traveling in vacuum. This constant, known as c, is roughly 186,000 miles per second, or roughly 1 million times the speed of sound in air
Whoever put this video on UA-cam did not have the equipment to sync the voice with the video portion
Pretty Baby, I watched very closely and he WAS singing. His group took over the BIG lyrics: I LOVE YOU BABY, if you notice and he closed his eyes. At 89 years old, he’s doing great.
No he was not singing
I just saw him 11/29/23 count basi theater he was sadly 😢lip singing and he looked like he was going to fall a couple of times . Sooo sad to see him go out this way . The Man is an icon Period !! Time to close the curtain . He’s the Best . I give him sooo much for staying in it !! Sooo many years him giving us just so much love and best pure entertainment to his fans !!! 🥂🥂🥂❤️
@@robertnash3432 That is sad. Maybe it's not ALL the songs? My grandparents loved him and played the 4 Seasons music all the time, along with others in that era. I agree they should leave on a high note way before they're forced to lip sync. Poor Frankie. Neil Diamond bowed out gracefully before his Parkinson´s set in. He is another one I grew up loving and still do. His live concerts are the best!
If You Say so . I saw different . Listien I Never said he was disappointing…. he’s 89 YEARS OLD !! lol GOD BLESS HIM!! But it’s time for this great man to rest . Enjoy his life what ever time he has left with his grandchildren & loved ones !! Do you know what it takes to perform a show ? Any Show !! He’s booked till next year ! Traveling entertaining his fans God Bless I get it . But let this man spend his last precious moments with his love ❤️ ones !! Give to them for all that they lost because he gave to US!!! Do You get it now !! 🙏
Glad he’s still out there doing so well
So well, this is an embarrassement!
Amazing how great he still sings and give him credit, standing on stage for 90 plus minutes is not easy
Sorry to break it to you. but he's lip synching... His voice was gone years ago. You're paying just to see him standing there
@@John_Michael2000 worth every penny
He doesn’t sing one note.
@@danielhoward4566 this is awful,you must like throwing away your money
Agreed! I believe they’re coming out with a new movie called weekend at Frankies!
Very good !
and THAT folks, is how it's done. Unbelievable. A true legend who would blow so many 'would be's' off the stage, even at 89. Bravo Sir and thank you for a lifetime of wonderful memories.
Lip-syncing is "how it's done?" 🤔
There was a time when lip sync and backing tracks to this level would cause public outrage. Now it seems every upstart young artist is doing it. Unfortunately its acceptable in todays society. That said, if it's alright to do now, this guy has earned his ability to exercise those musical liberties.
Lip singing Or not who cares The music is great hes a legend❤
This is BRUTAL
Sad, actually.
its pathetic
You know what they say "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas". This one escaped...
Saw 9 times. And met❤❤❤❤❤
Sad, very sad that some people making comments about how great he still sings, people, he's not singing, this happens when you get older, not only does your whole body get weaker and worse, but your voice goes too. But he had a great career for sure, can't take that away from him.
The Mayor of Munchkinland!!!!!
Is Phil Leotardo at this venue? Because I won't sing in the same room as that man.
Frankie and the band are obviously singing and playing along with pre-recorded backing tracks.
The band is live, frankie is not
Awesome 😎
This guy is such a legend. I grew up listening to him cause he's all my mom listened to.
I don't think people realize how hard it is for those backup singers to dance in sync like that while they sing at the same time. It's nearly impossible, and yet they do it and stayed generally sync'ed up
Yea espically when the lead singer is not singing
@@cudfoo1cudfoo247 it looked like he was
@@cudfoo1cudfoo247 Was he not singing the mistakes too?
The backup singers look like a parody off of the old SCTV show!
Almost 90 and he can still perform and still sounds good.
Because he is lip syncing.
Nonsense, some singers still have it when they are older, and some singers their voices go to crap. Johnny Mathis , Frankie Avalon and this gentleman sound amazing, Paul McCartney, Frank Sinatra, not so much as they got older!
oh please it so obvious i saw hi m that same week and it was noticed by me and those around us.....@@Bela-ko9ss
Lip syncing 100% 😂. He’s a 100 ? What do you want? Keep fooling Yourselves!
When an artist performs 5 days a week ! Two shows a night? Their lip syncing 😊. Make No Mistake! But people don’t really care as long as they see their Artist ? That’s A Fact !
37:25 ..... I'm not saying he is miming, but that microphone is incredibly sensitive to be able to pick up his voice when it is waist high.
Saw him in 1976 at Washington park, Illinois . My favorite of his lps is “ Our Day Will Come “
God bless 🙌 🙌 🙏 ❤ 💖 ✨ ♥ 🙌 🙏 this man!!!
A masterpiece that needs to be preserved! Rock On! Frankie.
Great Band and Singer and Great Show
Nice to see Frankie standing on a stage however the miming lip sync needs more rehearsal time before trying to pull this big show off.
Excellente Frankie, I would love to see you in Vegas!
He was fabulous. I flew out to Vegas specifically to see him. It was an honor to do so and I enjoyed every minute as I'm sure you would as well :)
IDOL GREAT FRANKIE VALLI
Wow his voice is just amazing, I was at this show it was great to hear a Legend still singing like he's in his 20's, cost of tickets were high I wanted good seats well worth hearing that golden voice.
Sorry to break it to you. but he's lip synching... His voice was gone years ago. You're paying just to see him standing there
@@tijnonline6807 And yet still more successful than you.
It's Memorex
@@tijnonline6807 Yeah I know I was just trolling, he looks like they just prop him up and tell him to move his lips.
@@jerseygrit5402 I don't have the ambition to be successful ;-)
Feel sad to see such a legend not being able to know his career has come to an end,Yes the old saying the show must go on,but the guy just lyp syncing and do not think he blinked once all the time he on stage, pretty scary actually,but Will always love his music and songs.
Sadly he can't even move his mouth to lip sync track. At 89 why bother making them few extra dollars performing live. He made all that money from Jersey Boys on Broadway already. Wouldn't he rather be on a boat in Key West and retire to fishing and sunning.
The good news is that his backup singers appear to be paramedics!
Amazing how a place known as sin city, almost synonymous with youthful hedonism and all manner of decadence can uniquely show a pure sweetness in how it celebrates and honors its aging stars inevitably fading in strength and vitality, but always glowing in their talent, love of their craft and audience, and the joy of performing. A show like this is ALL Heart on Frankie Valli's part and the audience's alike.
This sweetness reminds me of videos I've seen of Danny Gans shows: how funny that Vegas, the world's ultimate "adult playground" is never more truly "Vegas at its best" than in these most sweetest, wholesome of shows. Just incredible, but SO true.
Lip Sinc?
at least he has the
the raw talent to have become a true icon unlike the trash being done today that is
mostly computer generated.
You are no Frankie Valli or ever will be.
The Fabulous Frankie Valli😊👍💙
I Grew Up As A 70's Teen, But I Was Listening To 60's Music And
Frankie Valli & Four Seasons Were My Favorite 60's Male Group😊👍
Although It's Not The Original Group, Frankie & These Guys Are Sure Doing A Fabulous Job!😊❤️👍
Sending Love From Chicagoland🤗💙👍
I'm sure back in the he was quite the performer but those days have clearly been gone for a long time. He's clearly lip syncing and not even moving his mouth at the right time. Before some of you say. "He's not lip syncing." He's not? Then why does he still sound like a young man when he sings? That's impossible. The human voice changes over time.
Amazing and doing great at 89. Hope I will be as good as him if I reach that age.
Therez noone like frankie valli ever hes iconic and his voice never changed
Because he's lip-syncing to a recording of himself.
Because that's a recording from YEARS ago!
If he is lip-synching, then he needs to do one or two things in my opinion. Give up performing or put a disclaimer up, saying he’s lip-synching, but the rest of the band obviously is real. He needs to be upfront and honest with his audience which pays a lot of money to see shows nowadays.
If you get every artist to admit they lip sync you better get extra pen & paper.
Pure technology. Of course, it’s his voice you’re hearing. It’s him singing. Just not live, but, from recordings made over the years. At age 89, just being able to stand there and move his lips in time with his recordings is impressive. He doesn’t need the money, so, he must enjoy the audiences and performing.
It’s Frankie Vanilli, except it wasn’t a malfunction at 37:27 he just forgot to lip sync!
Very obvious, I have been to one of his shows
You are 100 % correct. So sad that an icon has to keep going just for the sake of it.
@@davidsouthcott1564 It's very possible he needs the money.. Maybe a tax problem or he could be broke
Good catch!!! Lolol 😂😂😂
. I hardly doubt he has money problems.
Loved Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons. Grew up listening to them and buying their albums. That said, it’s sad to see him struggling to move and clearly not really singing. I heard him actually sing about 5+ years ago and could tell he was having difficulty with the upper range. Not sure if I’d rather pay to watch him lip sync or watch an old video performance or just listen to their albums. I still love him and all that he’s done for the music world, but it’s probably time to hang up the mic. I say that sadly.
Oh, forgot to add, my very first concert ever was The Four Seasons in 1969 at the Westbury Music Fair on Ling Island, NY. What a great show that was! 😎👍🏻
I don't think Frankie has done the falsetto parts in decades. His backup singers did that.
@@randyjordan5521 Agreed. I eluded to that. He was starting to lose it 20 or so years ago and you could tell as the years went on his ability to reach high notes became marginal to today where he barely can speak the words. No disrespect, he is 90 and I get that it’s normal. We will all miss the early days of Frankie’s career belting out sounds like no one else.
Woh! Great
New Jersey baby !
So. Fabulous always
Don’t think he’s lip syncing cause his voice is weak compared to younger appearances
Then he's not lip synching to his original recordings, but rather to recordings he made maybe 30 years ago. I saw him perform live at the Italian Fest in North Palm Beach Florida in the late 80's. He was still singing for real then. But even then he didnt sound like he did in the 60's
Sorry to break it to you Franki fans, but he's lip synching... His voice was gone years ago. You're paying just to see him standing there. The band is playing along on top of the recordings
ROCK ON FRANKIE...
