Could this be the next Frank Sinatra?


I've heard a lot of Sinatra wannabes, but this 16-year old sounds more like "Ole blue eyes" than anyone I've heard.

Actually, I don’t think this is a song that truly showcases Sinatra’s talent.
Who said it showcased Sinatra's talent? I agree, though, that Sinatra had many other songs which would better showcase his talent. I can think of eleven on my favorite list:

1. I've Got You Under My Skin
2. Strangers in the Night
3. That's Life
4. Fly Me to the Moon
5. Come Fly with Me
6. My Way
7. The Way You Look Tonight
8. Theme from New York New York
10.Night and Day
11.Summer Wind
A Sinatra and Jobim collaboration turned out a very nice album. Another one to check out.
Hi Sherod

I'll concede I hear a little bit of Sinatra not that he reminds me in any way to Sinatra but beyond that....

His rendition of this classic is purely karaoke.

His singing is very strident, no real emotion or connection, at least I didn't feel connected in any way. I really don't get that he has any real talent to go beyond where he is. He can sing reasonably well, thats all. Listen to Judy Garland at 15 or Christine Aguliera at 11, now thats talent!

I'm not even sure he would make it to Hollywood on American Idol. Another Sinatra? There will never be another Sinatra, Fitzgerald, Houston, Vaughn, Cole, Cash. It they are ever so great to be in the company of the above they will be known as who they are and not compared to anyone as DWR notes.

At least Harry Connick Jr. can really play piano!

P.S. I listened to the Sinatra version at 38. It make the above case readily apparent doesn't it?
