Hands down, Bobby Darin owned this song. No one will ever do it as good as him.

[@AJMiro-Quesada]

Michael for me❤

[@rosarioreside3327]

Absolutely there is only one Bobby Darin

[@ogrebattle22763]

Nobody & I mean NOBODY sings Mack The Knife like Bobby Darin... Michael Buble???? Please...

[@lindacraig7486]

Absolutely. No contest!

[@nicfewer8393]

No one sings it like Bobby Darin, it's HIS song.

[@taylorgoodman1197]

There’s only one Mack, and that was Mr. Bobby Darin, beyond a doubt.

[@Rick-mx5kh]

There's no freakin' comparison. This song will always belong to Bobby Darin.

[@carmenrosarodriguez6761]

[@jorgemor388]

Bobby is Mack absolutely Bobby Darin is eternal

[@Derek_TK]

Absolutely.

[@jairourdaneta1]

I prefer Frank Sinatra’s version

[@johnnyrooks]

HMMMMMMMMMMM NO WAY!@@jairourdaneta1

[@MrRockabilly70]

No one beats Bobby Darin with this song!

[@roxxy9906]

Why? I don't understand why you would even compare the two. Bobby Darin owned this song.

[@sunlight4169]

Nobody owed the stage and the room like Bobby- mesmerizing and magnificent entertainer !

[@robertduncan1898]

Bobby Darin never got the serious attention he deserved...died too young...so many don't know how talented he really was. He was a performer who did bridge the gap between Big Band/Night Club (something else lost to the ages) and Rock 'n Roll. Bob D.

[@projectdesign4675]

He got serious attention...many left the show (millions), like my Mom (1969)

[@Donna_G]

I like Michael Buble and I think his version of Mack the Knife is quite good; but, I still think Bobby's version is better.

[@normanbates2543]

I love how Darin interacts with his audience I don't think that we'll ever have such an artist like him

[@richxts1357]

No contest - Bobby Darin!

[@JoeNocella]

Buble sounds good but Darin owns this song.

[@rickhodges1731]

Bobby left us way too soon! He was the quintessential entertainer! His music is timeless!

[@Wajlonis]

Bobby was terminally ill, on the verge of his strengths and physically almost unable to perform - other people with his condition would be even able to sing, not to mention the dancing and entertaining the live audience - and he still outsings and outperforms any modern artist at any time. True class, true legend.

[@TheCliffandPhilShow]

Pawel-You hit it right on the head!:)

[@seandarcy7651]

Today 50yrs gone great loss

[@ilovetylerist]

Not even comparable. Bobby is always best.

[@freebird3348]

Bobby all the way here. Talent finessed like this always leaves me absolutely stunned and awestruck. Bobby belonged/belongs to a very special select few capable of achieving transcendental artistry.

[@MultiMaitreya]

Bobby Darin without a doubt!!!!

[@lucashoquigaray9885]

Bobby Darin is the Best. Say no more.

[@jeffereymataya9167]

Bobby was the best his music has easily stood the test of time

[@ogrebattle22763]

Bobby Darin was one of a kind & had one of the greatest voices of all-time in my opinion... another great talent who was taken from us way to soon...

[@terrydority]

No contest, Bobby all the way!! Never be anybody like him again.

[@lindalightning3581]

Still Bobby for me

[@lar7905]

Bobby Darin was the best, most charismatic relating to the audience. You could feel he was Mack The Knife in his performance . However , hats off to Michael Buble who I had never seen or heard for a beautiful intro and very respectful and talented rendition . He is no slouch , but Bobby Darin is the guy . Thank you to Michael Buble who was really just a name I had heard until now .

[@rankay8176]

I couldn’t have said it better

[@bradykondek]

Bobby Darin all the way!

[@patwalker72]

Booby D nailed this song, his alone.

Bobby Darin, the best!!!!!

[@MJLeger-yj1ww]

This was the song that flew him off the charts, after "Splish Splash." A very talented guy who played several instruments, piano, drums, guitar, plus acted in some great movies, esp. "Come September" where me met Sandra Dee whom he later married. What a talent! Died way too young at age 37 in the recovery room after his last heart surgery. Sad to lose such a talent so young.

[@neil03152]

I'm just stopping watching and hearing the video after Bobby the Master has finished. Love this great man's works.

[@Believe222]

Bobby all the way!

[@Somee989]

Bobby Darin owns this song.

[@johnhughes2138]

Bobby all day long!!!!!!!

[@OperaJH]

Bobby all the way!!! ❤️💕

[@tarachristian7796]

BOBBY. BY. FAR. he's the best there will only be one BOBBY

[@charleshorrell3569]

Bobby all the way! the voice, the story telling, his charisma. Bubblé is good, I like him, but still no match.

[@michaelhoggarth89]

Bev.... Bobby Darin.... What an handsome dude with a class A voice

[@vickys813]

Of course Bobby Darin !!

[@daved3713]

Bobby D! NO Question

[@larrywood3147]

Here I go. Not even a comparison, Buble is a good vocalist but Bobby was an extraordinary, even an unique, performer. Look closely when Bobby starts out, he's looking for the response from the audience. He is great at the beginning but becomes even greater when the audience responds with the clapping. He feeds on the enjoyment of the audience, true sign of an in touch great. Great loss, wondrous performer. Buble's performance rests on his musicians, Darin's performance is all his...

[@jozzi1]

One of the best live performers ever!

[@tzenophile]

This is nonsense. Buble is communicating with his audience too, from the very start. Pay attention to what is there and don't let your prejudice cloud your perception.

[@robertanselmo8906]

Very astute observation. I am a performer ( not my day job) and Mack the knife is my absolute best of my repertoire. It’s all about style and entertaining your audience. The song itself has a pretty basic vocal range. But it’s all about delivery… attitude… nuance… it’s a story that’s lyrically told.

[@larrywood3147]

@@robertanselmo8906 :::: Many Thanks always loved Bobby Darin--maybe that does cloud my opinion.....

[@nathankessara]

Don’t let yours cloud you too. He does have a point@@tzenophile

[@IowaCornThumper]

Bobby hands down.

[@keithgriffiths9864]

We have to thank Buble for keeping these great swing songs alive ❤

[@trishacole4592]

No One replaces Bobby Darin

[@rdavid6981]

trisha cole No one is trying to replace him.

[@award3007]

Nobody can beat Bobby's standards he's to good.

[@tinaj7331]

Bobby is the best; cannot be beaten; from NZ fan!

[@tiffsaver]

No one else could do this tune like Bobby. Everyone else is just an imposter...

[@ponticat7283]

Bobby Darin, no question.

[@tifacari]

Bobby Darin, simply awesome!!! Buble makes me feel sleepy, weird version.

[@PatrickMcNealPuppets-n-Things]

This is even a question? There is no comparison. No one can do it like Bobby.

[@michelleregis1795]

Patrick McNeal who said Buble could? or was even trying to .

[@PatrickMcNealPuppets-n-Things]

Michelle Regis The person who posted the video invited it.

[@RiRi2023_]

Patrick McNeal TOTALLY AGREE!!!

[@qepdestehombre]

I ve been watchin Buble and R Williams version.. even Armstrong or Sinatra and nah. Bobby Darin owns it. Kevin spacey version is fine as fuck too

[@alanacana8018]

Bobby's grooves are slicker no doubt!! This is Bobby's song!!👍😊

[@MrDeanDoyle]

Lovely tribute. Buble obviously loves Bobby Darin as much as the rest of us!!

[@albertbarbieri3481]

Sammy Davis Jr. & Bobby Darin were & still are the greatest entertainers on any given night‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ FORGETABOUTIT !!

[@miketackabery7521]

Queen Elizabeth II, who'd seen every great performing artist (because of all the command performances she requested) said that Sammy Davis Jr was the greatest entertainer in the world. Stand-up, impressions, dramatic recitations, a very great singer, and probably the greatest dancer alive. Stupendous talent mostly forgotten now.

[@leonardburns1780]

Bobby is the master of kool RIP Bobby ehhh

[@sharonybuan3721]

Bobby you are one of a kind. Luv u Bobby ❤

[@reidpaul272]

No comparison. PERIOD

[@jozzi1]

Bobby D without a doubt...but you gotta give Michael props for having good taste in choosing Bobby as his favorite artist!

[@philcaggiano4171]

MICHAEL Is fabricated can’t be on the same Stage as Bobby the man can sing the phone book to me he was the greatest Phil caggiano

[@edithsymmans3273]

Bobby Darin greatest entertainer ever in my option and am so glad that Michael Bubble' stated that Bobby Darin was his favourite singer..... Michael does a good job of Bobby's song better than any others who have tried but still Bobby out shines them all by miles, even today long after his far too soon passing on December 20th, 1973. Bobby Darin the one of a kind multi-talented genius who always did things in his own style all the way with total brilliance.... May Bobby Darin rest in peace knowing we love, miss and remember him always. RIP

[@herranton]

EDITH SYMMANS While Bobby perhaps perfected the song, I don't think I would say it was his.

[@michelleregis1795]

EDITH SYMMANS Amen to that, however M. Buble is great in his own way.

[@liannemettam3536]

I couldn't have said it better.

[@ercylongo7980]

I totally agree with you! MIssing great shows of Bobb Darin, specially singing this song, until today! Michael Bubble at his turn, is so great as Frank Sinatra, in my opinion.

[@lyallg8112]

I have to say that Australia’s David Campbell does a fantastic version of both Mack The Knife, and Up A Lazy River. Take a listen and you’ll have to admit that it’s obvious he’s studied Bobby Darin’s to the hilt. David Campbell also starred in Dreamlover The Musical (which unfortunately I didn’t get to see as it didn’t get to Queensland.) I’m also a fan of Buble’s, and, Bobby Darin has been my favourite artist for decades.

[@lawrencemcinerney397]

First time I've seen or heard Bobby Darins version very much a class act. Buble does it justice but Darins,a class act

[@msoiseth3419]

To see Bobby Darin do this song in 1970 and still just nail it, WOW! No monitors, no props, no BS, just talent and style. Notice that he doesn't try to reproduce it exactly like the great recording, he took some chances and improvised. Bobby never quite got the acclaim he deserved, a true talent.

[@BobAndersonMusic]

In this video, Michael said that Bobby Darin was his favorite artist of all time, hands down. He is simply trying to do a tribute to Darin and his Grammy winning song. This is a stupid question. It's like asking: who does Jail House Rock better than Elvis Presley. Obviously nobody would be the correct answer. Who sings New York NY better than Frank Sinatra...nobody. Michael is a wonderful singer and performer. He isn't trying to out do his favorite artist. Sammy Davis Jr. told me that Bobby Darin was his favorite performer. That says it all.

[@zorinabakah8182]

SDJ told you that himself...pls say more about that.

[@murielcoppage5122]

I agree!! Only Mr. Bobby Darin can own this song!! You see, Mr. Bobby Darin was the song!!

[@madelinetramantano8302]

BOBBY D WAS A GREAT SINGER AND INTERTAINER .

[@Mapleeaf]

Bobby …..simply the best!

[@jackinthegreen5178]

As a Long-standing Bobby Darin fan/Mack the Knife----I have to say that I LOVE and definitely appreciate Michael Bublé's VERY (respectable) tribute to Bobby---Mr. Cool and Mr., Kool!

[@charleslavers4563]

😮pity that the arrangement spoiled MichaelB delivery and would have been better comparison of this song

[@jackinthegreen5178]

Actually---it (was) the arrangement that I loved as much as the singing--both of which were sensational!@@charleslavers4563

[@djrepasky]

It was a great tribute to a great singer!

[@michelleregis1795]

Bobby had so much style. he was iconic ftom the start, ,I remember him well. because he is unforgettable!

[@royb2251]

Bobby Darin is mesmerising and his talents are in abundance and second to none , Michael Buble does a brilliant rendition of Mack the Knife.

[@user-dk6sy4cm8i]

The one ‘ only. Bobby Darrin It’s his song👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@johnnierey]

BOBBY DARIN WINS HANDS DOWN

[@BernardGinnever]

Bobby Darin is owns this song ❤❤❤❤❤

[@user-rz6bc2cl3c]

It's Darin's song. But, do thank Michael for being able to function with it quite ablely, and keeping Bobby's song alive for many more generations! RIP Bobby and thanks for all the beautiful memories!!!

[@rotorhead6396]

Bobby Darin. Period.

[@susantunbridge4612]

Buble does a good job, but doesn't have the same acid edge that BD had. Very gracious in his tribute.

[@ceciliawalsh2809]

Bobby Darin was thr best. Sorry he died young....

[@Brenda-fp5te]

I absolutely love Michael but on this song Bobby is the master. I'v loved Bobby Darin since I was 6 & I'm 66 now, their is no comparison

[@MargaretWood-z6l]

Bobby. All the way

[@rosarioreside3327]

Bobby Darin is the original he is the best . No one else👍🎶🎶🎶

[@dboc2000]

Buble had to give his version and credit for an original take. It was good, but Bobby's is better for musicality.

[@michaelhoggarth89]

Michael is keeping these great classics alive.....

[@cathibyers9639]

I watch Bobby D “Mack the Knife” you tube video (ED Sullivan) at least once a week for inspiration and just to remember what a real talent was Bobby you are always in our soul❤

[@rosamolina627]

BOBBY Darin UNICO

[@dawgpound23]

Considering that Darin died 2 years before Buble was even born, and that Buble enjoys a genre of music from way before his time, and saying that " This is a tribute to one of my idols" at the begining of his rendition, i'd say he didn't do half bad. Obviously not as good as the one and only Bobby Darin...but Buble already knows that as well, no need to be rude.

[@mamavanaedan]

Bobby 😍😍😍😍

[@kbraud52]

A great tribute to a wonderful performer who owns the song. Different times, better technology, more professional. Bobby was one of a kind and didn't cover others...

[@zio63paperone49]

Mr. Bobby Darin's performance (RIP) was great!! but yeah, this is the second best version of Mack The Knife. Thank you for uploading this video.

[@FranklinBrownOfficial]

Bobby Darin is great and Buble is good. Anybody knows what kind of microphone he is using here. Looks great.

[@murph3001]

Two great popular vocalists. Each brings something special

[@kittycat6195]

Michael has some good ones, but Bobby is a level above.

[@ontherocks8712]

no contest.buble cute but darin is the boss

[@zorinabakah8182]

Bobby Darin is cute

[@GillesF31]

Michael Buble pays a very beautiful and talented tribute to Bobby DARIN with an interpretation very inspired by that of Bobby DARIN who was an extraordinary, unique and exceptional singer, crooner and swinger.

[@katherinestevens6528]

Michael Buble is fantastic BUT there is only ONE Bobby Darin who a worship! His voice was and is so sexy and recognisable!

[@brittonstokes]

BD all the way.

[@pabloantoniopizarrobossay4722]

Bobby Artista de las grandes ligas

[@reneeniemi2055]

Bobby hands down!

[@jillprice8507]

Bobby Darin. Charismatic & cool!

[@denisevalentemcgee4802]

While of course, we all LOVE Bobby Darin, however, I also love that Michael Buble brings back a lot of the old artists and puts a bit of a spin on the song but doesn't spare any of the orchestration of the songs. I've seen him in person, and his orchestra is phenomenal. There's no one that can be Bobby Darin....this was Buble paying homage to him. He's keeping the music alive.

[@leecooper4213]

I like Buble a lot, esp in today's world, where no other singer has nearly such a smooth & powerful voice. HOWEVER, this particular song has NEVER been performed nearly as good as when Bobby did it.....He owned it & it showed - he had so much FUN when he sang it! And we all enjoyed watching Bobby have so much fun, while knocking out some very cool music! Sal Valentinetti (from America's Got Talent fame) sang this song (among other songs) & made it HIS own - and did a pretty dang good job of it. If you google Sal Valentinetti, you'll see that he's performed many covers - a few of BD's, but also several Sinatra songs. NOBODY will ever sound like Bobby (or Frank) - we fans remember them so clearly until it's sometimes hard to listen to others sing "their" songs without cringing. But we only have what we have today - and there are a few guys around that sound pretty good, considering they are attempting to perform such monumental songs (& tapping onto our memories & our loyalties to our favorite, deeply missed performers).
