Better stage presence in 2024: Don Dokken or Frankie Valli?

[roxxxtar]

Watch these performances.
Both appear to be dead, though Frankie at least moves but doesn’t sing.
Don talks/sings, but doesn’t move.

Don has the better zombie walk in the beginning...hands down.
The other guy was probably carried or dragged to that spot, not sure if he can still do the zombie walk since the video began with him just there.
So I am still undecided.

What they're doing to Frankie is elder abuse at this point.

[DonJuanDeMarco]

The sad thing is you could probably find hundreds of YouTube videos of these guys performing just as poorly.

I think Frankie actually looks worse. Those backing singers are way over compensating.

I saw Frankie a couple times 10-15 years ago. Even if he was lip syncing then at least he was still mobile. This is beyond sad and just confusing as to why he is still doing this. I guess he just wants to die doing what he loves.

Hahaha Don is wearing Skeechers

[Blowmonkey]

Jesus Christ that was depressing.

[Black Stuff]

It's a tie! Whoever is putting Frankie out there needs to be slapped hard!

[TooOldToCare]

Frankie has the Bernie Lomax impression down. I'm going with Frank.

[sirthx2]

Jeezus fucking christ that Frankie clip. Where do elder-abuse laws come into play? And the fucktards in the comments saying 'sounds like he did in the 60s!' and they're not joking? These people should also be removed from society. Frankie looks just like those Halloween yard decorations you buy at Home Depot.

[TooOldToCare]

I thought he looks like the last iteration of the dude from Ghost.

[Mister Freeze]

Somewhere on a doo-wop message board, there's a Frankie-tard version of Rising Farce posting stuff like...

"The guitar is live, the drums are live, the backing singers are live. Frankie is singing. But there's also a track. Don't like it? Don't care. I trigger you."

[CrankerBait]

What they're doing to Frankie is elder abuse at this point.

I agree. It reminds me a little of an obviously unwell Mike Nesmith stumbling his way through that last Monkees tour a couple of years back. I think he died less than a month later.

[Tyketto Meniketti]

What they're doing to Frankie is elder abuse at this point.

Agreed. That is embarrassing that the promoter and estate put on a show like that. Again and again.

It's inhumane.

[Tommy]

The comments in the Frankie video are insane. Is every motherfucker a bot nowadays?

[TooOldToCare]

I'm not convinced Frankie is breathing. The robots in Disney's Hall of Presidents are more alive.

No they’re just stupid boomers. I noticed years ago Valli was faking it and I’d post it in the comments and get a bunch of triggered idiots who have never played a gig in their lives saying I was wrong.

Pretty obvious Don Henley and Glenn Frey’s kid were miming as well, same deal with that. Good to see both are finally getting some traction on being exposed, just like Paul Samey a few years ago.

Have you seen the big YouTube dust-up about Ken Tamplin and his shady vocal academy? He's been faking it, too. Cousin Sammy will be heartbroken.

In seriousness, it's pretty sad that there is so much miming these days. If it hasn't already, it'll probably hit Broadway shows and other live entertainment before too long.

Mime is money
