When did 55 years old become a "YOUNG MAN?" All the negative comments on here are delightfully delusional. Remember what we learned from American Idol...EVERYBODY thinks they can sing it better.

Feinstein got a voice...only, not for songbook - that's the difference.... Michael Bublé HAS it!!

This was absolutely an amazing event! I was there as were others of ALL ages, including my 77 year old mother IN THIS CLIP. This was total entertainment.  As always, Michael was great. The Palladium was just beautiful. Thanks for keeping this music alive.

It turns out that I liked everything about Sinatra ... except.... Sinatra. Loved the show, with Feinstein. Loved it. Sorry I missed the live performance, but thank you PBS for presenting this on TV for all to enjoy.

@SpringBabe0321 I was there also and you're spot on. It was an unbelievable performance!!!

@HughCarpenter Miss Carpenter, I just listened to your version. All I can say is that obviously your anti-delusional pill perscription needs refilled. Try staying on key next time.

Was there when he recorded this show. For those criticizing, he gave a four hour performance and was "on" the whole time. There were differing reasons for numerous takes but he was on top of the game the whole time. He told stories of having met Mr. Sinatra and unless you are in the biz and know the people, you cannot judge him for his comments about other performers he actually knew. Mr. Feinstein is a consumate professional for the ages.

wow the ugliness in all the earlier comments. I love Michael Feinstein, his album the Sinatra project is one of his best. But............this performance is over the top.

@jabartolone I agree, and Feinstein can't even deliver the goods. His singing of this song is weak, and I can sing this song better than him any time -- any night, any day!

[jabartolone]

Michael spent the early part of his career bashing Sinatra because Feinstein was a purist, who believed that the Great American Song Book should be sung as the songs were written originally & not interpreted (as Sinatra believed the songs should be done). Now, he's trying to make a buck off the Sinatra name (singing interpretations he's always claimed to despise). Disgusting!!!!!

Two thumbs down for Michael. Go back to Ohio
