Everything that was Sinatra was encapsulated in this black-tie event, and artists including Celine Dion, Carrie Underwood, Alicia Keys, John Legend, Harry Connick Jr. and others performed the very arrangements that were originally crafted for Sinatra and brought them to life.
Quote:
Although not physically in the venue, Sam Smith’s voice reverberated throughout the theater as his rendition of “My Funny Valentine” channeled the essence of Sinatra as his trademark vocals bellowed and scaled to notes that only the Brit could reach.
There were other performances that were memorable, including John Legend performing “Young At Heart” and Celine Dion completely owning a magnificent version of “All The Way” while wearing a thigh-split gown that was simply to die for. Nick Jonas’ youthfulness was reminiscent of old Sinatra with his rendition of “Jealous” and the legendary Tony Bennett drew a standing ovation for “I’ve Got the World on a Strong.”
Quote:
But the best was reserved for last as Lady Gaga was decked out in a tuxedo and fedora for the rousing finale performance of “New York, New York.” She strutted and strolled while delivering a magnificent vocal performance so pitch-perfect and laced with brashness that could have garnered her an invitation into Sinatra’s Rat Pack. The 29-year-old transformed into Sinatra right before the eyes of the audience while the showgirls helped decorate the stage. She even delivered a “Good to see you, doll” to one of the dancers that nailed down the performance.

I thought she paid to Sinatra organizers to sing there
