@@StormyDay I have noticed Darin really pays close attention to closing every phrase with intent. It's his personality but also his commitment to do his personal best. I noticed it listening to early versions of Mac and Clementine. He hadn't quite dialed them in. But perhaps gauging his audience at the time he added emphasis on certain phrases for maximum effect and took it to the next level. That IS what Darin does better than his contemporaries. He's was a master performer.
@@patkelley8293 you’re overthinking this. As a performer I can tell you his ease and vocal delivery on stage is really beautiful and he is absolutely not doing anything planned. The only intent here is extemporaneous fun. If the recordings sound colder, well, he has a producer and a boss, i.e., the record company, holding him back.
@@jamesmcinnis208 Apparently, he knew his heart would give at a young age. So he made the most of his years with us, thank god. What a brilliant talent.
After watching this vid for the first time I gained utmost respect for Michael Buble. He claimed that Bobby Darrin was his favorite singer, and Bobby is my fave too. Although Mack is Bobby's song Michael did a good job on it. I think Bobby would have approved. RIP Bobby, sorely missed. Gone way too soon.
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.
Um, yeah...no. In 1990, Darin was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, with singer and close friend Paul Anka announcing the honor. In 1999, Darin was voted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. On May 14, 2007, Darin was awarded a star on the Las Vegas Walk of Stars to honor his contribution to making Las Vegas the "Entertainment Capital of the World" and named him one of the twentieth century's greatest entertainers. Fans paid for the star. Darin also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. On December 13, 2009, at its 2010 Grammy Awards ceremony, the Recording Academy awarded Darin a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award.
@@lindacraig7486 I don't think anyone suggested there IS a contest going on. . . Buble gave a beautiful, heartfelt tribute, after saying that Darin was the best!
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 .
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
Of course this is Bobby's song! He adapted it and made it his own 60+ years ago! And there was no one quite like Bobby Darin! BUT, Michael Buble isn't trying to take the title away from his hero. He's paying homage to Bobby Darin! And he does a fantastic job of it! And regardless if any of you commenting here want to accept it, the truth is there is no one quite like Michael Buble!! He's fantastic!!
Great singers have one signature song that is associated with their persona. Mac the Knife is Bobbie Darrin’s song and just cant be replicated by other talents. Greats such as Peggy Lee ( Fever), Phoebe Snow ( Poetry Man), Glen Campbell ( Wichita Lineman), James Taylor (Sweet Baby James) etc are all forever associated with their breakthrough songs and no other singers can cover them and be as good. Just is. PS….I always loved seeing Bobbie Darin stepping out with Sandra Dee. What a time and what an era to live through.
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...
I'd like to have a conversation with whoever posted this. Not fair to compare Michael to Bobby at all - ever - but especially the way you did it here. There is no comparison !! In my opinion, there is no competition between artistic talents - ever! All of them bring something unique and special and we are blessed to be allowed to enjoy whatever we choose to.
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.
❤ Unconditional Appreciation: Iconic songs of all genres are actually being honored when their songs are sung today by truly gifted singers (sometimes with a different twist) as a humble tribute to the original artist. Their performances and renditions are sung to HONOR the singer and songwriter. They aren’t trying to compete with the singer. It’s a beautiful tribute. Think of how many renditions of iconic songs and music we listen to all the time and enjoy listening to them as they offer us memories.
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.
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❤

Why? I don't understand why you would even compare the two. Bobby Darin owned this song.
@@roxxy9906 To generate comments, perhaps?
BOBBY DARIN WINS HANDS DOWN
Watched him on TV as a kid.
Tutti vincono a mani basse con quel vocetta di Bublé... Non ci sono dubbi. Meglio Darin di Bublé
Hands down, Bobby Darin owned this song. No one will ever do it as good as him.
Michael for me❤
Absolutely there is only one Bobby Darin
Bublé non è all'altezza di Darin. Sinatra ha fatto molto bene...
@@AJMiro-Quesadascusa ma Bublé non è proprio all'altezza
It'll always be Bobby's song.
Bobby Darin is the Best. Say no more.
The one ‘ only. Bobby Darrin It’s his song👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
No comparison…..Bobby Darin by a landslide. Michael doesn’t even come close to
Bobby Darin owned this and Splish Splash. I wish he was “back in town.
He even wrote Splish Splash!
Can't really compare Bobby Darin to anyone. Darin pushed everything to the limit. Every performance, every note.
He didn’t push it though, that was him. That was natural ease. I find Buble forced. Darin is smooth as honey.

Bobby Darin would always be the best singer singing Mack the Knife. He will always be one of my favorites. Sadly, he died too young. 🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶
Ella Fitzgerald also does a great rendition.
@@buggyboogle9 Miss Ella did everything well.
No one sings it like Bobby Darin, it's HIS song.
Buble gives a beautiful tribute to him
I agree! This is good, but it is not Bobby Darin!
There’s only one Mack, and that was Mr. Bobby Darin, beyond a doubt.
Bobby Darin was thr best. Sorry he died young....
He probably wasn't too thrilled about it, either.
@@jamesmcinnis208 Apparently, he knew his heart would give at a young age. So he made the most of his years with us, thank god. What a brilliant talent.
@@93Jubilee He was a sensation, a joy to experience performing.
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.
I agree!
There's no freakin' comparison. This song will always belong to Bobby Darin.
P
Bobby is Mack absolutely Bobby Darin is eternal
Absolutely.
I prefer Frank Sinatra’s version
HMMMMMMMMMMM NO WAY!@@jairourdaneta1
This song belongs to Bobby Darin. End of Story.
No contest - Bobby Darin!
Have you ever heard Louis Armstrong's version with his trumpet?
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
There's no contest. Michael Buble is paying tribute to his idol.
Bobby Darin owns this song.
Nobody owned the stage and the room like Bobby- mesmerizing and magnificent entertainer !
My favorite of all his wonderful songs. The Curtain Falls, his voice is beautiful
No one else could do this tune like Bobby. Everyone else is just an imposter...
Bobby Darin OWNS this song..
After watching this vid for the first time I gained utmost respect for Michael Buble. He claimed that Bobby Darrin was his favorite singer, and Bobby is my fave too. Although Mack is Bobby's song Michael did a good job on it. I think Bobby would have approved. RIP Bobby, sorely missed. Gone way too soon.
Bobby left us way too soon! He was the quintessential entertainer! His music is timeless!
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.
He got serious attention...many left the show (millions), like my Mom (1969)
Well-put
And he had serious heart and pulmonary issues. Its painful to watch him knowing he was suffering. He looks so easy on stage.
Um, yeah...no. In 1990, Darin was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, with singer and close friend Paul Anka announcing the honor. In 1999, Darin was voted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Not even comparable. Bobby is always best.
I love how Darin interacts with his audience I don't think that we'll ever have such an artist like him
Still Bobby for me
Nobody & I mean NOBODY sings Mack The Knife like Bobby Darin... Michael Buble???? Please...
Absolutely. No contest!
@@lindacraig7486 I don't think anyone suggested there IS a contest going on. . . Buble gave a beautiful, heartfelt tribute, after saying that Darin was the best!

Pawel-You hit it right on the head!:)
Today 50yrs gone great loss
There is only ONE Bobby Darin , the rest of us are just fans !
Bobby Darin without a doubt. This will forever and a day be Bobby's song and there will never be anyone who can do it better.
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.
BOBBY. BY. FAR. he's the best there will only be one BOBBY
