Check out the youtube video
Thanx for the peek at a future entertainer.
Great voice. His reaction to all the nice comments from the panel was heart-warming. I wish him well - he has a lot of talent.
Wow. Just...wow. NO ONE saw that coming...
No kidding — that was amazing.
They say Sinatra was one of the few artists who possessed perfect pitch, a perfect ear. This guy’s gotta have a natural ear for music to be able to nail that, with no formal background. That’s awesome.
What a great voice. He should go far.
He made the comment that he ‘does all kinds of music’...what the heck else does he have hidden away?
Redemption touches us at our very core. We all want it,even though we all don’t know that we do, and know it when we see it.
Landau shoujdl do Sammy Davis Jr instead.. When I read the headline, having never seen the show, I said to myself...Landau? Martin Landau? Mission Impossible? Is he still alive?
Fall 68, en route to 29 Palms..stopped for a weekend in Vegas..caught Sinatra's show at the Sands...best live act I ever saw..and the monologue was awesome...so much stuff they couldn't do/say today..because of all the PC crapola..
Best lines:
"This is a very classy hotel. They bring Sammy Davis in jusy to clean the place.
Sammy just wrote a book..YES I CAN. I read it, and sent him a telegram. NO YOU CAN'T"
He has some raw talent.
Training could maybe help him be more sucessful.
he was great....and had everyone fooled...... and may just win it....
does someone post a live thread for AGT?
Uncredible talent!
He won the million dollars, I thought he would.
Yes he won! Plus people liked Landau’s life story. He was a just a nice all around good guy. I’ll bet he goes to church.

He said he was doing a lot of charity fundraisers with his R & B band , but they wouldn't let him do Sinatra.
He started doing Sinatra in public on the basketball court. He said he'd dunk on somebody, and then sing "Come Fly With Me" to them. Heh.
Simone said Sinatra would sing "and then get 50 hookers, and punch a waitress. You don't do that, do you?".
"No, no..."
Simone is a funny guy....I heard that too yesterday. Landau won one million dollar prize for winning. Not too shabby. He’s not cynical and tough. He’s a nice guy
What a great guy! Are these auditions for the next show or was this already aired? (can you tell I don’t normally watch? Piers Morgan drives me crazy!)
WIKIPEDIA:
America’s Got Talent
Murphy was revealed as the winner of the show on September 14, 2011, after a positively received performance of “My Way”, a song popularized by Frank Sinatra.[4][6] He won the $1 million grand prize and will begin a headlining act in Las Vegas on October 28.[5]

This Landau sings Sinatra video is from June....it was his debut. Then the show went on for three months, he finally won in the end and won one million dollars.
I don’t watch these type shows either
Thanks for the info. I’m glad he won and I hope he stays as humble as he appeared in this video.
