Well come ON now..if you are reacting to My Way you HAVE to also react to Sydnie Christmas' version. She recently won BGT and this was her semi final song. Last week she was invited to perform My Way at the David Foster Birthday Party. She got very positive words from David and a standing ovation from the audience

[@lowellhendrix7889]

@@reddragonready and the first female cover of Sinatra's version that I know of. It's off the charts!!

[@rds3547]

People don't realize prime Sinatra was an insane voice. He had ridiculous breath control, a master of self modulation, his tonal quality is superb, and his phrasing ability is iconic, when people in the industry who've worked with him, recorded him as an artist they were consistently amazed by his abilities because they seemed so natural, but he worked hard to perfect his talents, a lot had to due with how he was treated starting out. He's called "The Voice" for a reason.

[@Quwucuqin]

Every time Frank changes lyrics of his songs it became unique and wonderful each time

[@keithdean9149]

A master at work. "It was a Very Good Year," is a personal favorite.

[@RicP351]

My father, who was a big band singer in the 1940s and 50s, said that Frank Sinatra’s phrasing of a song, was the best he has ever heard.

[@glenngaylor3035]

My father was a big band trumpet player, and said exactly the same thing.

[@danielolson5378]

Paul Anka was on vacation somewhere at the French riviera and heard some guy playing it in the hotel lobby. He immediately asked if he could buy the rights for the song. From what i've heard him say he did so with Sinatra in mind. Anyway back in the states he contacted Frank who at that time was fed up with Showbiz and more or less wanted to retire. Paul gave him this song and he absolutely loved it! In fact it became his like anthem the song he ended every show with.

[@RayDavies-zv5ic]

Just recently a 28 year old woman walked on to the stage of Britain's Got Talent on three separate occasions - the audition, the semi-final and the final. For the audition she sang "Tomorrow" from the musical Annie. In the semi-final she sang "My Way". In the final she sang "Somewhere Over The Rainbow". This trilogy has now become legendary and gone totally viral on the internet. If you haven't reacted to any of these I suggest it will be worth your while. Suffice to say she gave Frank Sinatra a run for his money. Her name is Sydnie Christmas. Again more recently worth watching is the video of her singing "Starlight Express".

[@reddragonready]

Personally I was not a fan of that song..the song itself I mean. Loving her album though. I am sure you saw her perofrm at David Foster 75Th birthday..again doing a great job

Sinatra recorded with a full orchestra from an isolation booth. Usually Nelson Riddle He did everything all the way through in 1 take. Sometimes like in " That's life" it was 2 takes. No editing cutting or pasting. Once in a while he might have done a fast run through for a sound check. But...he was mainly doing a " Live performance " in the studio. They remastered some early mono and other versions latter. A great talent. Saw him live in Vegas along with Buddy Rich many moons ago. Tickets were around $200.00 then. In todays money OMG. A great talent!! 🙂 I was a remastering engineer for RCA in Camden and NYC for many years. But Sinatra was on Columbia and Reprise records.

[@LibrarianMichael]

This will be my funeral song. I just hope with the time I have left that I can live up to it. Thank you for this reaction, Maggie.

[@stanleymerritt2893]

I really appreciate that you chose this song and artist. Keep up the great work.

[@andrelimoges3654]

What I like about this performance is the time he took with it. It's done at such a slow tempo it seems more of a conversation

[@bumperu]

Live performance celebrates our common humanity. The singer is in room with us.

[@traceydalton8862]

Even more remarkable when you consider he was a smoker and drinker

[@joepowell7025]

This was written by Paul Anka. Please try his song " Put Your Head On My Shoulder. xx

[@brianwhitney9181]

Frank and Elvis in a class of their own.❤

[@kennethcamilleri4678]

This song was written in 1967 by French composer Jacques Revaux….but the English version was written by singer/songwriter Paul Anka….first sung by Sinatra in 1969…

[@mikenolan8044]

Thanks! Frank did it his way. Maggie does it her way and that is a very fine way. Love your reaction.

[@maggiereneemusic]

Yep!! Thank you so much for doing it Mike's way and ALWAYS supporting me!! 🥳💪🏻🐶💪🏻💖

[@P-M-869]

The Leader of the "Rat Pack". I would like to recommend a beautifully song .. Softly And Tenderly - Hugh P & Maria. Being 76, The Seekers - The Carnival is Over, has more and more meaning to me.

[@markmyers6472]

There is a recording of KZbin with him in studio while recording ‘It was a very good year’. Amazing to watch his artistry while in the studio….

[@kenlawless7247]

"When I Was Seventeen" is also very good at this age.

[@nolantomlinson7554]

I read a thing once. When she was about to start her career, Deana Martin, Dean’s daughter, asked Frank should she try to sing like Frank or like her dad. Supposedly Frank told her the difference was that when he, Frank, opened his mouth he knew exactly what was about to come out. When her dad, Dean, opened his mouth he had no clue what was about to happen.

[@stornowayscotland]

Maggie is absolutely gorgeous thank you for the reaction have a great night

[@Mclint9171]

Love it. Miss the days when people paid to hear the singer and didn’t feel compelled to sing along the whole time.

Please Please Please react to Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald singing The Lady is a Tramp! It’s live performance with an encore. You wont be disappointed. I’d love to hear what an opera singer thinks about Ella’s range, and voice and performances, especially this one. Great review! Thanks Maggie!

[@rickc661]

yep 1000 % to me live is best. to me concert DVD's are the most important tech improvement to ' HiFi' since the mid 1970's . by far.

[@brianwhitney9181]

Now you know why he is the chairman of the board.

[@ManuelRomero-h7b]

You should do a very late, 1960s, Ed Ames "Apologize."

[@rocktcop]

While Ole Blue Eyes gives the classic, iconic rendition; a previous commentor has already mentioned Sydnie Christmas and her rendition. It is phenomenal.

[@doorofnight87]

Really enjoyed your reaction and I have always greatly enjoyed this song and this performance. If you want a good laugh, look up the video of William Shatner singing this song to George Lucas when Lucas got the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award.

[@RobertSteinmiller-y8r]

Hi Maggie awesome reaction to my way from frank Sinatra but now you have to see Elvis Presley do a live performance of my way as well he used the lyrics but did it justice as well.

[@joepowell7025]

No one compares to Frank's song, I love Elvis but not even close.

[@reddragonready]

@@joepowell7025 Check out Sydnie Christmas though

[@gshock1041]

You should check out Sydnie Christmas version of "My Way", but first her "Tomorrow" - won BGT

[@leonmccarty9430]

Young Latety, if you want to hear his song by a different artist, try when Elvis sings it at his last concert tour. As the story I once heard goes, about Elvis" just before his final song ask Frank Sanotra if he could sing that song. Frank said yes but he had an uneasy feeling about it so he stuck around to see how Elvis sang it. When Elvis opened his mouth there was the usual clapping, But it quickly fell away. Everyone knew something was up. No one spoke no seemed to move, FRamk had a feeling of sorrow fill him in the way Elvis sang it. When Elvis stopped singing there was silence for a short time then the clapping started. Elvis finished with the song he did to end his concerts with I cant help falling in love with you. Six mouths later in August of 77 Elvis died.

[@PatR2243]

Frank sang a whole lot of awesome songs but I beleive this is the one he'll be remembered for even though he came to hate it after a time. Guess he sang it one too many times.

[@gregorywilcox5949]

chairman f the board of the rat pack the king of crooners the one and only FRANK SINATRA.

He was talking to us in song.

[@CrimFerret]

This was his song. It's been sung by many since, but never as well.

[@nononobutyeah]

Everybody wants to be shown to the world when they are older. No Sinatra singing this song in his prime, it seems.

[@User-w9r3s]

this song is french first by claude françois... and after sinatra take it in english

[@camperp195]

Utter legend 🌹

[@ryanmontgomery3215]

I’d love you to react to any song by SYR (Sire) they are a Celtic folk rock band from Columbia SC they have some of the best lyrics in music in my opinion Like one of my favorite lyrics of all time is from their song who are you? The lyric is what makes a man a man is his ability to stand for the indifference of good men is just as much as sin as your fools and Bragg trying to best your fellow man

[@ericzeichert511]

A small nit pick. The thumbnail doesn't look a thing like Frank, to me. I have no idea who he is. The lyrics were written by thelegendary Paul Anka, who wrote this for Frank in 1967, sang it himself, and also led Elvis take a swing at it. It is based on an Italian tune about something completely different. A contemporary version is performed amazingly well by Sydnie Chirstmas on Britain's got Talent, her own My Way album, and David Foster's 75th birthday bash in LA a couple weeks ago.

[@andygrenville3458]

Will watch soon, have you seen Dan vasc amazing grace omg

[@jean-Pierre-bt8xw]

You should try the original song which was a french one... "Comme d'habitude" by Claude François or even the version done by Michel Sardou... ;)

[@Scott-gjc]

Elvis performed nice versions of this song as well ❤

[@ericlanglois3782]

I'd love to see a reaction to Takahata101's rendition of My Way with TeamFourStar. It would also be fun to get him onboard with the reaction since he's an active V-tuber.

[@matthines4748]

I have a book on Frank Sinatra where his valet revealed he’d make sure Mr. Sinatra had lots of cash on him when he’d go to the club at night, as he was a notoriously generous tipper. He was known to go into the kitchen and tip everyone.

[@andrelimoges3654]

Elvis also recorded this song

[@johnmannymoo8626]

You're lovely.

[@tommyk6719]

Don’t forget to check out Elvis’ version.

[@kathalinehansen7078]

Maggie, you notice a certain cadence or speed to his style from mid-1960's to his death. He didn't like the fast rock speed. He said the slower speed was better. Science agrees that the brain responds to classical style more calmly. He is able to be very expressive and do talking while singing this way.

[@thomastimlin1724]

Frank didn't like the song, said it seemed too narcissistic, but always did it for the fans

[@Marcus-p5i5s]

[@roynecarlsson2378]

Written by Paul Anka. But I prefer the live version by Elvis.

[@thomasripley1548]

Francis Alberto Sunatra was known for his phraseology, and toud not get it the same way in any show.....

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

There is something about the live performance, being there and hearing in 3 dimensions. to be able to focus in. not try to pick a sound out from a 2D line.

[@inspectre27]

"His Way" was racism, sexism, and drunkenness. Woo! He must be celebrated!

[@illyaedwards7188]

Frank Sinatra is a real man, and everybody loved him

[@leftcoaster67]

I prefer the album, not the live version.

[@pasimaenpaa2360]

Please, leave comments after the music. If you do it in the same time, it will destroy the whole performance. NO MATTER WHOEVER PERFORMS. This is cold hard fact.

[@kevinsimpson3374]

Elvis Done The Best Version My Way! Sorry!

[@reddragonready]

Nah Sydnie Christmas. And Frank did the most iconic

[@pasimaenpaa2360]

If you are opera singer and singing - let's just say - bizet's opera carmen and "habanera", do you want that you will interrupt all the time? I just ask.

[@staceyward777]

Dude, I love Frank, but listen to Elvis sing this song too...

[@jeff1930]

His original recording of this song, and his duet with Pavarotti were both better than this version

[@stevenmeyer9674]

Sometimes perfect isn't all that it's cracked up to be.

[@bigjo2012]

the worst version believe me i'm 70 years old

[@patwelch8187]

Not a great voice, but a great showman...

[@reddragonready]

If you don't want to continue looking foolish..you should amend that comment to.."not a voice I like"

[@ericzeichert511]

I believe this performance was during Frank's comeback tour, after he retired to rest his voice. You really need to hear him at his best-the 67 recorded version of this song is a good place to start. During the 40's, he was the original Elvis-women and girls swooned over him. That said, he was a better actor than singer. Check out Man with the Golden Arm, and the Manchurian candidate.

[@reddragonready]

@@ericzeichert511 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Teh man was the original owner of the title "The Voice"..he got that at a time autotuning and whatnot didnot exist and he had to stake his reputation by standing on a stage in front of a big band and sing live with what is now considered an incredible basic microphone

[@chrisclark7170]

Should do a comparison with the Sid Vicious version.
