Frankie Valli still performing....at age 90
My first concert experience was Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons in the 1970's. I won tickets by calling into a local radio station and identifying the song Candy Girl. During the show, Frankie walked off stage and was very close to me. I held a pen and the ticket stub down to him. He took it and autographed it for me. I will never forget it.
Unfortunately, he is one of these controller/celebrities who must continue to perform regardless of their age. Trump, Biden, Pelosi, and McConnell are all example of this.

Comments on the Youtube video....
He does not look like he is breathing the way that a singer must breathe. He certainly does not open his mouth very much to produce that sound.
Frankie looks like the doll on Seinfeld that George Costanza said looks just like his mother! He's definitely a lip singing, but it wouldn't be bad if he moved a little. OK, he can't move his body anymore, but at least move his head, lips,make some facial expression.
I just saw him a few months ago but I didn't get an up-close look at him! He looked like he was a ventriloquist dummy being propped up by strings and sounded pitched-up and autotuned while a bunch of closeted theatre guys were dancing around him.
This is truly one of the most insane things I’ve ever seen. It becomes worse every time I watch it. Seeing the young men dancing around the corpse-like figure is from a bad dream. The fact people think he’s actually singing reveals a lot about the average person.
"The 600 series had rubber skin. We spotted them easily"
Uncanny Valli?
The most unintentionally terrifying thing I've ever seen
He might as well just play his records on stage and just stand there. Same thing.
God, at least use recordings from whenever the last time it was that he could sing... not the originals
He should run for president once he retires
He looks like one of the puppets from a Thunder birds
He made a deal with the devil. "You can be famous but you'll have to sing until you die."
I definitely can’t take my eyes off of this
Donny Iris is another one still doing shows, and he can actually sing, how old are Paul and Ringo, still performing to this day. Dylan and Willie, who is paying for tickets. why bother putting these elder people on tour, Ozzy Osborne is going for one last tour too. Odd that people would pay to see them. There has to be a reason besides selling one's soul, or a requirement for them to do shows. Plenty of old rockers still doing shows, Rolling Stones and Sammy Hagar is pushing 80 still out there. I guess 80 is the new 50, as long as one eats right and takes care of oneself.
ReplyDeleteWe all have read stories about the 90 year olds competing in marathons.
Maybe there are drugs that give them youthful energy. I would think Frankie's fan base would be dead or too old to go out for a concert.
None of it makes sense IF they are human. I am in my mid 60's and I hate having to drive to the post office. I just want to have a nice meal and drink by the fireplace. My perspective is THEY are tasked with harvesting human emotion and energy. Music is extremely powerful with harvesting emotions, this includes classical as well. Thank you for your comment, best, db
