Growing up in the '60s, I would not have predicted that Frankie Valli, of all people, with his high falsetto, would be one of the singers of our generation who would still be able to hit those notes 50-60 years later. But just listen to this. Amazing. What a national treasure he is!
Holy shit yeah! Seeing this for the 1st time, amazing. They were a huge part of the soundtrack of our lives. Frankie is killing it here, I can't believe how good he sounds.
@@dcents5458 He isn’t lip syncing, the other singers even stop when he sings high to prove it. Please remove yourself from the internet, you are not qualified.
GO ASAP. I COULD ONLY GET 1 TICKET. IM IN JERSEY . 3RD ROW. I SAT WITH ALL HIS BUDDIES FR UP NORTH. I PD 300 BUT WELL WORTH THE MONEY. I RETIRED DUE 2 MY HEART. DONT DO MUCH. I SAVED ALOT OF MONEY. SO I WILL SEE SIR FRANKIE AGAIN. SAW PAUL ANKA ALSO. LIKE FRANKIE WAY BETTER. PAULS GIRLFRIEND WAS IN TGE AUDIENCE. HE ACTED SNOBBY. HE SHOULD HAVE STAYED WITH HIS 1ST WIFE ANNA ANKA JUST SAYING. GOOD LUCK
So seeing the recent videos of him now and I looked this up. This is so sad how much more lively he looked. Even if he is lip syncing or not, what’s happening to him now is sad. He needs to be resting and enjoying retirement
For anyone who thinks that he is lip syncing this, I had a distinct pleasure of meeting Mr. Valli after a show a few years ago. I told how much I loved his music and singing and mentioned how a lot of people are doubting his vocal talents at his age. He happily sang a few bars of Sherry Baby right then and there. He hasn't lost a thing. It's his voice and his talent. No fakery there.
It’s pretty obvious he is NOT lip syncing here. It sounds nothing like the record. Secondly, the backup singers stop when he sings his falsetto. It’s Frankie and only Frankie.
I am a Brotha who produced hip hop for years from Chicago and if you don't feel Frankie You must be forever sleeping below a tombstone ! And this video brought a tear to my eye this man is amazing in every sense of the word!
@@Thadedeus please go get your head examined then sir. That is 90% lip-synch. He gave up live actual singing 30 years ago. My uncle has been on his rowdy crew for two decades and not only do they run one backing track, they run a redundant one just to make damn sure nothing messes up while he was lip-synching. Take a look at Ashley Simpson on Saturday night live where she got totally busted lip syncing
For those of you claiming he is lip syncing, go to 2:18, and listen for the delay. He starts singing late. It's absolutely real. Amazing how good he sounds for his age!
Theres mics that pick up noise detection and it plays whatever song it is. Vitas does that when he sings Opera #2, but people have figured out he just sings it an octave lower and the music plays behind each time he makes noise into the microphone. Frankie Vali sounds 100% identical each time he performs this, I know it's the same person doing the same song, but there should be some alterations each time, but there's not. Im not even dissing him, he has nothing left to prove, we all know he's a legend and will always be a legend, but he is clearly lip syncing.
@@MichaelAnthonyPresents It might not be lip-synching... I suspect some heavy handed live auto-tune though. I bet he is singing, but the pitches are already programmed into the track. As an audio engineer, that really what I think it is.
@0:23 Frankie steals the show 😍. I watched Jersey boys twice now and I love it. Love the music and love you're voice. I wasn't born in you're era but I wish I was. Music was so fun back then and seems more real than what today's music is. Love the fact that you can hold a note and not get breathless.
I saw him exactly 8 years ago it’s sad to see him declining he should retire and live his rest of his days with family enjoying the fruits of his labour
Incredible. The man Frankie still has the pipes or chops. Yo ! Frankie.... You .... You gotta gift my friend ... hey ..... yes you do. Marone. Thank you for your voice and great tunes . I'm still enjoying them . Buon Natale.
@@James.ceta14 Hes 100% lip synching. Watch the clip of him singing this last month. He looks like he can barely move but his voice still sounds like it did 60 years ago? Zero chance. Just look at McCartney. He doesn't sound anything like he did in the 60s (or even the 80s for that matter) and he's 8 years younger than Frankie. Even the greatest vocalist on the planet is going to sound much different at 87 than they did at 25. Father Time is undefeated.
Of this video, Frankie Valli's voice still gets it no matter what. His voice still sings like an Angel. I just love his performance, and he will keep on going I'm no matter what. You go Frankie. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Man, that dude could sing. Remember this as a kid and we sung this until our throats were sore. Many of us lost our voices trying to sing this and we went to Catholic schools, had the nuns that made us sing that Latin "Kyrie eleisun" stuff everyday. LOL
I met Frankie Valli around 19 and he sang a bit of this song in front of me, no music. It didn’t seem real how effortlessly he sings that high. Especially compared to his speaking voice and his age.
In about 1960 this was my introduction to pop, then the Beatles arrived and I was a fan, but no disrespect to them I’m pleased I have returned to love the seasons
I thought this too, without the tuning and effects he wouldn’t sound anything like this. Still, I can’t sing and I’m half his age, so I can’t say anything 😂
I saw him I think it was last year(2019 or maybe it was 2017 cuz I recognize all these guys) in Costa Mesa, Ca at the center of the arts. He definitely is not faking it. Also my friend works in audio and does audio for big name artists on tour.
i don’t get why people think Frankie’s lip syncing this really proves he’s got such talent that people are arguing in the comments about how it seems he’s lip syncing guys, just let it go so what he’s in his 80s and can still sing better falsettos than you can? let it be and realise that he’s such a good singer and that he’s still got the voice he’s had in the good ol 60s.
The internet is full of people saying that Frankie Valli is "faking it" now. Listen to him speaking then singing the accapella part of this song. His speaking voice and singing voice match. He's obviously singing live and 100% on key. My response, to the comments below = Is he faking his speaking voice too?
Yikes. Sorry to burst your bubble but there's a reason there's a hi hat keeping the beat. They are keeping time to a vocal track. He is not singing a note of that. The proof of course... you can sync up the audio of this clip th-cam.com/video/ej9KIGvHKc4/w-d-xo.html and others I've found (he started doing the "a Capella" version only recently. It may make it seem more realistic but it's the same vocals as this clip th-cam.com/video/IfGlrk_0D4M/w-d-xo.html Just play the videos at the same time ....same vocals, same tempo. BTW that microphone he uses is a switched version you can see him push his thumb up and down activating it
1:11-1:15 His mouth is not even matching the words. Also the best way for Frankie to finally silence these claims of him lip syncing....sing live without anyone on stage. Some have said they have been to rehearsals where he does this yet there are zero videos anywhere of him doing it.
They definitely run a vocal track that they sync to. They also run a good deal of auto tune on the background vocals. I’ve been a studio engineer for 20 years and a live engineer for 28, I’ve seen these older bands do all the tricks
@@elijahcambry3319 Yep. It's clearly a heavily enhanced vocal recording from his later years (e.g. it's not his "young voice" and they all follow a click track to keep it all aligned.

Guess the other singers just take the cash and go with the charade to stay employed. I'd rather hear him live as he really is and accept that backing singers take the high notes. I'm sure they could lower keys to help him sing more of it relatively well.
He's in his 80s he's 87 today.still sounds good wanted to get tickets but the concert was cancelled here in Michigan was supposed to be for September 11 my daughter was going to take me for my birthday in September but cant.it said cancelled
His backup boys are singing a dumbed-down version of the record's original harmonies. They're doing a shmaltzy barbershop thing... which wasn't a part of the original harmonies.
@@jamesgilmore1684 well I got news for you...I heard him sing this in his early 70’s and he could still do it just fine. There was absolutely no lip syncing that night.

Same. Morbid angel, carcass, Nile ect in my iTunes right next to Frankie!
You’re not a metal head if you don’t blast real music like this
He doesn't look bad for his age to any extent, and he still sounds amazing.
I want to see him live before I die
Me too! I'm not from this age and not of this country but i realy love this music and special Frankie valli.🥰
I saw him last year live, great but he mimes to old tracks and sometimes its obvious
Sadly He isn't really singing.
It will be a great show but he hasn't sang live in a really long time. It's all lip syncing from his end.

It's pretty well documented that he lip syncs. It doesn't mean he can't sing... he may just to it to preserve is vocals. He's 88 years old after all!
He just played a show at my venue-- Can confirm he 100% lip syncs. I still like the guy it’s pretty cool to be touring at 88.

A little more? I’d say a ton more.
Like you’re drinking sherry
a little?

Saw him live in Rochester NY in 2018, truly an amazing show. He still has the voice 🔥
Never thought I'd run into someone from Rochester on a random Sherry video lol. I didn't even know he came to Rochester a few years ago!
glad i got to see him sing the song I was named after peace
Ditto.
In about 1960 this was my introduction to pop, then the Beatles arrived and I was a fan, but no disrespect to them I’m pleased I have returned to love the seasons
just about my all time favorite group was him and the Four Seasons. He is in his mid 80s now and still has it. Amazing

This is actually Al Pacino. Frankie retired years ago. It's a joke, I'm messin with ya, cause they look so much alike.

How does he do it? Pure perfection.
He does it by lip syncing
er...he doesn't. It's technology, not him.
