Jersey Boys-Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You

[SUNLUVERH]

Personally I really don't think these guys are anywhere near as good as the original Frankie Valli and the four seasons.

[Nimonee]

LOVE Michael Longoria. He's so talented!

[grnday11700]

I really hope they can bring him back once Jarrod Spector leaves. I love Jarrod, but Michael is just amazing.

[dloc0925]

god bless jersey boys. they brought back the love of the four seasons to a new generation and to the people who grew to love them <3

[albertafire]

Saw him in Calgary, sunday oct 10th,,

his voice is really something, but they were all great in their own right, great group,

Christian Hoff was there to, and a Bobby, and can't rember the 4th fellows name, but was great to hear them, thumbs up guys.... V

[BTW31594]

stop watching this josh

[jmfarru1200]

jarrod spector is the best!!!! and john lloyd!!!!

[jmfarru1200]

i dont like him as frankie valli....jarrod spector is the best!

[Emily199100]

i love him!

[veadlsteak]

HEY DARK its because its one of the best songs written ever!

I've loved it too much, since it came out. '67

[72ve17]

cant take my eyes off of his crotch

[EpicHotelAdverts]

Jarrod Spector - Broadway 2009 is the best I have ever seen! We were literally clinging to our seats until they told us to go home! Too bad there's no vids of him on here! :D

[agflannelly]

I had this song played as my recessional at my wedding.. It was perfect!

[mage211]

if I ever get married, I am so having this played at my reception.

[rachelflax1963]

@mage211 This is a song my dad used to sing to me when I was little so it would be the song for our father/daughter song.

[rajanaga]

I have to agree with acdcr1992 I saw Joseph Bwarie last night at the Fisher Theatre in Detroit.

[acdcr1992]

Joseph Leo Bwarie IS THE BEST FRANKIE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

[acdcr1992]

MIchael just sounds funny

[omgitsranna]

i really like Michael Longoria's voice for Frankie!! and i am also in love with John Lloyd Young as Frankie too! lol

[SarafinaAndPatsie]

Michael is the best Frankie ever... he needs to come back to B'Way!

[grnday11700]

AGREED. He's the most authentic, and an incredible actor.

[piggypoo]

hahaha, its frankie's squeekeyness. its wonderful!

[bigkp4ever]

Every cast has been great. For me, Michael as Frankie is the best. His voice resembles Frankies the most in my opinion.

[UpJumpUp]

Slow downed chipmunk voice FTW lol

This guy is terrible

[aznplayersz]

watch him on broadway and say that,

hes singing this outside, anyone that sings outside will have their voices messed up due to the poor speakers

[grnday11700]

AHH I really wish Michael Longoria was still playing Valli. He's the best Valli I've seen!!

[mmb1998]

Dominic Scaglione is in the Chicago production, he gave my goosepumbs

[Griff0037]

same

[TheOutsidersloover]

when is the next Broadway on Broadway concert?

[carter3carter]

I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rawrawr3]

is that lance in the begining ? lol

[soccerlvr118]

best musical ever! and yess the language was pretty bad =( but it was amazing i highly recommened it!

[titusjean]

I have seen Jersey Boys twice---once in NY 2007, with Michael Longoria, as Frankie---he's the sexiest dancer!!! Great voice---saw it in 2008 in St Louis---don't know who Frankie was---he was good, also---but no Michael!!!! Love the musical, however, I wish it were for kids---too much bad language and sexual content---maybe you could do a different version and make even more money---there's a way of making it without this----

[jellybean625]

It really depends on the kids age and maturity level. My little brother (only 10) when to see this show, and he loved it!

[minimansm]

Michael Longoria was the Frankie Valli in the show that I saw. I went to the 1000th broadway performance during last spring break '08.

[elmgurl]

I also saw Graham Fenton playing Frankie in the national tour in Pittsburgh. There's only one word to describe his performance . . . PHENOMENAL!! Would see the show again in a heartbeat, especially if Graham is performing!!

[greeniswhereitsat]

omg i just saw jersey boys yesterday and graham fenton was frankie!! i live in FL and they were here. graham was so cute!! :]

[Shotzie143]

I just saw the national tour in Pittsburgh this past weekend.. I went to high school with the guy who played our Frankie Valli.. Graham Fenton.. if anyone out there gets a chance to see him you'll be blown away by his performance!! I was so excited to see him up there.. someone from our little crap town actually made it. Hahaha. Yay! Love this show!

[greeniswhereitsat]

i frikin love graham lol!!! i saw him yesterday!!

[Broadwaychica]

*realizes* I was there! :D And it's just as good as I remembered. :D Thanks for posting it!

[dark30]

why the hell am i addicted to this song

[thechasedlife]

i pretty sure this is the guy that play Frankie when I went down to see the show. It was a Saturday show so it was the rotation actor. He was incredible on stage.

[pineapplepie52]

I saw JLY, Michael Longoria, and Jarrod Spector. They were all extremely different but all extremely amazing!

[kathyae]

I saw the Jersey Boys in New York (Sept 08), what can I say but it was fantastic! I was on holiday there from Australia. It hasn't started here as yet, must wait until 2009!

[abdulrokib]

Dear Mortega,

Thank you so much for the video!!!! thanks3x!!!!!!!

He was amazing!!!

[switzy51]

A little flat

[carter3carter]

I saw him in Jersey Boys and he is AMAZING!!

[aasjb4ever]

i saw the wednesday alternate back in July. he was AMAZING. my mom saw it with work last year, and longoria was the alternate, then he stepped in after JLY left

[globalpnp]

Man! This is nice! Soo cool! Check out my long-playing club fractal version of this same tune! (And subscribe to my channel if you'd like, please.

And your video also made it to my Can't Take my Eyes Off of You playlist too :)

[HollyJL13]

John Lloyd Young is a fabulous all around actor with an amazing vocal range.... but I think Michael Longoria is the better Frankie. His version is excellent.

[thick111dick]

Joseph Leo Bwarie kicks this gusy ass.

i think this guy lucked out getting broadway.

sounds like a cartoon character - shit

[SuckMeeee]

as much as i loved michael longorias performance, i think john lloyd young is the best.

[zemuron17]

saw Jersey Boys twice on Broadway...once in Las Vegas. Vegas baaaaaby....hands down the better performance. Completely mesmerizing. No comparison. The better Frankie definitely is in Vegas right now. how fiting huh?

[llllooovveee1234]

omg i looovveee michael longoria. best frankie valli. i need to see him in broadway again<3

[nodaybuttoday765]

Michael Longoria is so the best Franki, hands down.

[HappyMadisonDude]

I hope he's there when i see Jersey Boys in September he sounds really unique and good!

[beccatheballoon]

I saw it last week, he was amazing!

If he is then you're in for a good show.

:)

[snoochy2]

Yes. All the Frankie Valli performers probably sang the exact same notes,but one sounds like he's singing a fraction of a higherr pitch.

[industrypro71]

Maybe he is singing flat, and you can hear that. That is what you mean, I think. He isn't on the exact pitch and that is what you are hearing.

[snoochy2]

Oh. That's true. I think it would still sound good if someone sang it a tiny bit higher.

[snoochy2]

His voice could be a little more falsetto,but other than that,it's great. I wish I could see Jersey Boys. I don't care a lot which cast performs in it. I am more used to the cast with Christian Hoff,John Lloyd Young and the other people.

[jonesyla67]

There is no falsetto in this song...ever...that being said, what is lacking is some lower register baritone sounds...when Frankie sang in his non-falsetto register, he had a more rich bottom sound.. JLY has that.

[japantown42]

When you mean that his voice is "more" falsetto, do you mean his voice is higher than the average Frankie Valli performer?

[phantomsangel72590]

seeing this for my bday on july 24th!!!!

in vegas, so excited

[patricia62891]

lol,I saw it on my birthday!!! on june 28 in NYC,it was awesome!!!

[DLN78]

The Jersey Boys are badazz!

[Broadwaypianogirl411]

he was awesome. i met him at the stage door and we talked about how he was gonna go to my hometown for vacation. very talented and down to earth. lol he's my height, and i'm only 5'6"

[BIGBANKACCOUNT]

lance is da bomb

[o0lovesit]

does anyone know how old he is?

[lifreocks15]

I just performed with him at Madison Square Garden for the Tisch Salute...he is so nice and so talented!

[Broadwaypianogirl411]

i'm seeing jersey boys next sat. night! woohoo

[patches4089]

I saw jersey boys yesterday it was awsome

[katecorpuscle]

It's just something raw about him that I like!

I respect your opinions, of course.

And JYL was brill'....but there's something less polished there that works for me. That's all. :)

[katecorpuscle]

oooohhhh....I love him as Frankie.  Seems more legit and soulful somehow....than a Brown-grad. Idk...my "first" bwahaaa was Lloyd so all due respect, but something here seems rather genuine? soulful?

[jonesyla67]

Souful? You mean too American Idol contemporary, while JLY was more period and didn't riff? Also, Brown grad or not, JLY is really from the NYC/Jersey area and has Italian American relatives, and Longoria is not Italian and is from California...

[japantown42]

Soulful? you think Longoria is more soulful than JLY? There was a reason why JLY was chosen to be the very FIRST Broadway Frankie. And how is this "legit" when he sounds like a weasel?

[katecorpuscle]

I don't think he sounds like a weasel. Boo that. JYL is the original, and there's no getting around that - he's brilliant! But what's special about this guy? What's special about Jarrod in Chicago? They *each* have something.....not any single performer *is* Valli you know...they each bring something and should be give their due. Michael seems like an "early" Frankie to me....there's some spark. I think you're in the minority in saying he sounds like a weasel...lol

[Broadwaypianogirl411]

WELL DONE. I think that he looks more like Frankie Valli than John Lloyd Young. then again, JLY sounded more like Frankie Valli.

[TheaterJunkie122]

It's a three way tie. John sounded more like Frankie, he looks like Frankie and Jarrod is short like Frankie.

[jonesyla67]

Longoria is probably the shortest at 5'5". And Jarrod and JLY are both about 5'6"-5'7"

I dont think Longoria looks ANYTHING like Frankie...

[chickaofurdreams1]

Michael Longoria is sooooo fuckin hot and he is amazinggg omg i want to hold HIM so much

[dfbgdfg9]

HE IS SO EFFIN HOTT:*

[trigunfreak17]

I definatly thing J.L.Y & Crew sound way better then the new jersey boys.=/

[rsagartz]

One of the best Four Seasons songs ever.

[cynicallysane]

Did anyone else catch Lance Bass introducing?

[saferwaters]

haha i did :)

[moochac6890]

Michael went to my old high school...;)

[westboroughhigh]

Ok, Yes beeker500, the actual Frankie Valli had a large enough range to be a tenor and he was. BUT, he was also a baritone. Have you listened to anything other that those songs because he can sing and be a bari as well. So there. Also, I agree with the first two comments that Longoria sounds nothing like the actual Frankie Valli. He is good but he doesn't sound like Frankie Valli AT ALL! So there!!!

[duckerdog22]

hes sounds more like the real frankie valli

[jonesyla67]

No he doesn't. Period. When he sings his own material he has a unique sound...he doesn't sound like Frankie.

[jhalcro2]

No, he is saying when he is singing as Valli, like in character, he sounds more like Valli than JLY. retard

[beeker500]

You should all stop comparing! When you make jack ass comments, it only makes you look like a jerk. I've seen all of the Frankies and Michael is fantastic. John was great too. Valli was a tenor BTW, no baritone could sing the high belt of Working my Way or Marianne and do it like Valli did. All the guys playing Frankie wouldn't be up there if they weren't talented, so stop posting mean comments...it's very junior high of you.

[Bobbytoo]

Well put! Every musican will put his spin on any role. Of course I am glad to have seen

John Lloyd Young and Daniel Reinhart 6 times!

God bless the music and may it live on and on.

[jonesyla67]

Junior High? I don't think so. However, you are wrong about the Tenor thing. People assume he was a tenor because his falsetto is so powerful. However, a Baritone tends to have a stronger falsetto than a tenor. A tenor tends to sing very high notes in their full voice and men with a strong falsetto will flip into a falsetto.

[jonesyla67]

Listen to Frankie voice when he is NOT singing in falsetto. There is a rich lower sound to his voice. The notes he sings in full voice are not as high a tenor sings. Trust me.

[theycallmelefou]

well michael has a lot of vabratto

which frankie valli didn't have

so jy sounded more realistic as frankie valli

[becky2shoes]

Thanks for this! I've only seen Michael as Joey but hopefully will see him as Frankie sometime. I have an inexplicable soft spot for him. :)

[totalQTpie23]

OMG I can't decide who I like more: John, Michael, or Jarrod! GAHH!!!

[jlyfan]

Vocally I love Michael more then JLY but acting-wise JLY was better.

Jarrod needs be the next B-Way Frankie

[jonesyla67]

Vocally Michael is better? How? To me he sounds shrill, pitchy, and has WAY to may scoopy embellishments. He also doesn't hit the bottom notes...Relisten to all of JLY's versions, then listen to Frankie...then listen to Michael. Get back to me. If you STILL think Michael is vocally better, then I think you need your ears checked.

[Stephiejblockhead]

I never said Michael was better I just said I liked his voice more personally since it is so unique. I never said his singing was better.

[Stephiejblockhead]

ah sorry I'm accidentaly on my sister's account but I'm jlyfan

[freakofdamonth]

i personally like JYL's voice better, but the thing with michael is that out of all the Frankie's Ive heard, hes the one who sounds the most like the original frankie valli

[jonesyla67]

See, I disagree. I will argue over and over again with you on this one. JLY sounds MUCH closer to the orignial FV than ML. Michael doesn't have the bottom notes that Frankie had, and his break is in a different place. Frankie was a baritone with a falsetto and Michael is a pop tenor. Sound is very different to my ears.

[BlinkRacer144]

My favorite was John Lloyd Young but what i like about him is he sounds alot like Frankie Valli

[mikokat]

Where's John Lloyd Young?

[xowonderingxo23]

i liked jarrod better!

[bigmikey2792]

Same here!

[LongIslandAlbie]

I was there and Michael was fabulous. The crowd went wild.
