My father died on September 27th, 2015. I heard this song in my head the following morning and googled it to find the Marquis said September 27th. It was the greatest validation in my life that spiritual love continues after we die. My father loved me unconditionally and supported everything I did in life. This was his way of saying goodbye after he died.
Give him some respect? Absolutely, plenty of respect.. he earned and deserves it. However, he owes the audience some respect. The audience paid to see him sing, not mime. The audience should expect some decline considering his age, but to do this is just a money grab. WATCH, he is not singing live. That time comes for all, and time for him to hang it up..
Okay, here's my opinion: This is entertainment. What are you, vocal instructors? Who gives a crap if he's lip syncing or if he isn't? His music is great! Walk away and just enjoy it.
I've watched the movie dozens of times. He was fantastic in the 60's, and all through the years. I loved all his music. Hearing him now he's still amazing.
I do not f****ng care if he is lip syncing... I would not even give a d***m if he performs dressed as a Playboy Bunny... He is simply Frank Valli and that is really too good to be true!!!
No lip syncing here. I was his body guard during his performance in Daytona Beach in the late 70s where I was a police officer. He never moved his lips much, even back then. I suppose some people will even say Sinatra lip synched too. I talked to Frankie and he barely moved his lips when he talked. Watch this interview and you will see he barely moves his lips. ua-cam.com/video/QnDUvPja9XQ/v-deo.html You can easily tell if someone is syncing by watching to movement of the mike.
Creo que Frankie Valli merece nuestra admiración y respeto por su gran trayectoria y por ser un gran vocalista cuya música ha dejado grabado en el corazón de muchos grandes recuerdos, que vamos a hacer cuando se extingan estos grandes de la canción, y que va a ser de este mundo cuando ya no estemos aquí sus seguidores, espero que una semilla de nuestro legado quede en el corazón de los que vengan, mi esperanza es vivir en la eternidad con Jesus Christ no se tú...
redflamelcd Sure, his mouth moves to the lyrics, but the lip and tongue movements are what make the ""L", "S", "B", "O", and "D" sounds amongst others. His lip movement is sloppy. If he were actually singing that way, he would sound drunk. The only other thing that seems possible is that his voice is being mega-pitch corrected live. He couldn't sing this high in the 80s! How does he all of the sudden get his voice back? That's like when Barry Bonds started looking like an ape and broke the single-season home run record! It's inconceivable.
Loubert Creative Kind of weird, did not read any comments before watching the video, and the 1st thing I noticed was, It looks like he is lip singing. Now granted this guy is in his 80's, and singing as good as back in the 60's, I don't think so. I'm a musician, and maybe it's why i picked this up so quickly.
Slimjim There's a video of him from the 1980s doing a full set. His voice didn't sound as good as this. He might not be lip syncing here, but it may be getting treated with live pitch correction. Again, like I said before, it's like comparing Barry Bonds in the 80s, to Barry Bonds in 2003. There is definitely something off.
Omg. The notes he has to hit in this song are so simple. Plus you can tell his age in his voice. If this is lip synched why? It isn't stellar by any means lolol. Some people haha. fucking jokes.
Guys seriously cut him some slack, hes 80 years old and you guys are chewing him up for his lip-syncing. At least he can still go to a concert and have fun at that age, seriously i bet you cant do what he is at 80 years old.
I don't think he is lip syncing. But he in no way sounds as good as he used to, c'mon people, give the guy a break, he is in his 80's ! But you can still recognize his unmistakeable voice, although quite subdued. He probably can't hit the chorus like he used to and uses the audience to help and make it fun too.
People like Valli, elton John, neil Diamond and others don't lip sync!! They are too professional and would not make it so far with their careers if they did! They don't make them like this anymore! Take a look at that supergroup One direction!!!!!
You lip-sync phobia people need help. The real reason you are bashing Frankie is because you are jealous of his longevity and his success. And you are extremely disturbed that you couldn't do half of what Frankie can do at his age of more than 80 years. And what's with the putting down of U.S. CITIZENS? I'm from Canada and the U.S. is the best friend we have, so show respect.
I live in California. Maybe you've seen me. I just recorded Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You on Wednesday. I sing and play bass guitar at the same time. Plus I move and dance and entertain you. There's a great lover in me shown with this song. I brought on the passion. It's my featured video right now. I hope you like it. I don't usually sing this high, but I'm doing 3 more Frankie Valli songs next = December 1963 (Oh What A Night), Working My Way Back To You, and Who Loves You. I'll do good. Check me out. Take care.
He's not lip syncing! If he was, you would still hear his voice when he lets the crowd sing! lol...I guess some of you have never seen a performance for real and are used to auto-tune performers.
No, some of us just understand the way this stuff works a little better than others. The performance is very well-rehearsed; there's no track while he points the mic into the audience, and then it starts up again when he brings it back to his lips. Sorry, bud.
No, I am not. Let's just agree to disagree since neither of us can actually prove one way or the other. Sriously though, I am a musician. I have played guitar for over 20 years. I take pride on having a keen ear for things. For what it's worth that is my opinion. I doubt it is worth much to you though :)
plumberfiddle I could brag about my incredibly sharp musical ear too, but instead I just gave a pretty clear breakdown of what's going on; that was several comments ago. In the end, people just refuse to believe certain things. Despite how much I appreciate Valli and his songs, I don't enjoy the act he puts on nowadays. It's a circus, with a lip-synching old man as the Master of Ceremonies.
I hope you know that he is not lip singing, I know an 80 year old at my church who takes voice lessons with me and he is able to sing "can't take my eyes off of you" song with no problem, (considering that it was lowered a couple of notes because he doesn't have a condition like Frankie Valli)
Drewski Vanderbilt Well you could tell this is the original track playing in the background to make it look like he singing in the same key actually but he’s not
Hey, if people want to go and watch him mime to a backing track and enjoy the music. I have no problem with that. But lets not try to pretend that he's singing live. It's painfully obvious he's lip syncing.
Haven't you also noticed how much of his performances are started to sound exactly the same. I hint either auto tune or lip-synch. Either way he still ranks as one of my favorites.
Frankie Valli can die knowing he made so many generations of people happy with his wonderful voice.

I am 43 yrs old and even though he is before my time I simply love his and the 4 Seasons music. Thank You Frankie Valli.
Grande rispetto per un uomo che canta da oltre 60 anni.....
great singer..style..talent...legendary performer...so please be respectful of the love he creates when singing..ty
The man is 80 years old, whether he's lip syncing or not give the legend some respect.
Give him some respect? Absolutely, plenty of respect.. he earned and deserves it. However, he owes the audience some respect. The audience paid to see him sing, not mime.

If you know anything, Frankie doesn't lip sync
I love Frankie. He lived around the corner from my highrise.... what a legend from New Jersey!
My number one wish is to watch at least him sing live
Okay, here's my opinion: This is entertainment. What are you, vocal instructors? Who gives a crap if he's lip syncing or if he isn't? His music is great! Walk away and just enjoy it.
I love all your songs , you still kick ass !
Oh! Dear Mr Frankie Valli I love you ! You are one of a kind and. down to earth person❤️Ross
Frankie Valli is truly a GEM...What freakin voice to be born with!
Amazing Frankie Valli can still sing like he did in the 60's. Got to give it up to 'real' music.
I've watched the movie dozens of times. He was fantastic in the 60's, and all through the years. I loved all his music. Hearing him now he's still amazing.
He still has that presence and he can still sing !!
'You've been so incredible tonight, I'd love to [poorly] lip-sync it for you tonight"

Just perfect.
We finally see that 'It' don't matter!!!...:)O(:...
beautiful song !
HEs definitely not lip syncing
when you you see lip syncing on this vid?
Dr Ron. Lol
He sounds better now than he did in the past! AWESOME!!!
He's been lip syncing for a decade. I wish it wasn't true, but in close ups of his face when he's performing live, it's obvious.
Loubert Creative
Don't know about that but he's def not lip syncing here.

Madonn its Rusty, thought those zips whacked him..lol
He's not freaking lip syncing. Godalmighty.
I think he said you can't take your eyes off of you at first haha
He is not lip sincing, if he were he would have gone for the chorus. I'm kinda sad that he can't do the Chorus anymore.
Omg. The notes he has to hit in this song are so simple. Plus you can tell his age in his voice. If this is lip synched why? It isn't stellar by any means lolol. Some people haha. fucking jokes.
Lip synching wouldn't be able to layer with the audience like that guys, I'll say it's possible the mic has a filter, but it's not lip synching
He is an icon. I had this song played at wedding last year. Who cares if he lip syncs. The background singers are hotties
How do you sleep and still sing?
Lip synched or not, it's still the song I sing to my wife.
He's out of it.
Not really

Lip synced is still better than the crap mass produced today.
the gin blossoms are still around?

Not bad for an 80 year old huh?
I didn't know the mayor of munchkinland could sing
he's 80 something, what do you expect?
What? He's definitely not lip syncing
His great time and fame...Lovely song !

Dominic Valela LOl @ you. This didn't needed to be lip synched. HAHAHA very easy to do. Sounds like an old man singing to me.
plumberfiddle Well it isn't an "old man singing." Laugh at me all you want, you're still wrong. :P
No, I am not. Let's just agree to disagree since neither of us can actually prove one way or the other. Sriously though, I am a musician. I have played guitar for over 20 years.

hes not
The 80-year-old at your church has nothing to do with Frankie Valli. Frankie is lip-syncing.
Drewski Vanderbilt Well you could tell this is the original track playing in the background to make it look like he singing in the same key actually but he’s not
I'm not a hater but turn it to 2:48 right around there u here his voice but his mic is to far from him.

Hey, if people want to go and watch him mime to a backing track and enjoy the music. I have no problem with that. But lets not try to pretend that he's singing live. It's painfully obvious he's lip syncing.
lol? it's real ffs. wow people really?
damn being old like this just quit singing and take care of his grandchildren.
He has been singing to recorded music for 10 years. Waste your money at his concerts.
I dated someone who is a soundperson and said this is so common.
is he really not singing anymore?
He could at least make an attempt to look like he's actually singing.
Olá tenho um grupo de flashback no whats, pessoas de todo o Brasil, grupo sadio. Quem tiver interesse (41) 9803-76-53
Hahaha. He's not even moving his mouth half the time. What a fraud.
Haven't you also noticed how much of his performances are started to sound exactly the same. I hint either auto tune or lip-synch. Either way he still ranks as one of my favorites.
He's not singing. Come on guys. It's all lip synced. Shame on him!!
He's an 80 year old musical legend, he can do what he wants
