Frank sinatra was so impressed that he immediately wanted to do a duo with him, shit happened between their record labels and it couldn't be done, so Frank went to Tijuana just so he could attend a live performance of him, went backstage and talked to him. Thats how special, José José was.

Me estaba chingando unas quesadillas y mis ojos se llenaron de lágrimas al escuchar de nuevo la canción jajaja wao

"He has that passion that only latins have." True true

El orgullo que me da como latino el ver que reaccionan sorprendidos a la música de mis hermanos mexicanos

He passed away this last Saturday. He is a legend of mexican music. May he rest in peace.

He was Frank Sinatra's favorite singer, when he heard it the first time he said: "When this boy breathes." Every year I saw him singing in Las Vegas. Frank described him as the best singer he had ever heard.

5:08 Just by looking at Marco Antonio Muñiz's face you can tell that was an astounding performance, he was completely flabbergasted. He was like: "Holly shit! that´s singing!" And he is one of the greatest Mexican singers ever.

The microphone can't truly capture his amazing voice. Jose Jose was unlike any other. So glad my father gave me his old Jose Jose vinyl records.

Descance en paz, el príncipe de la canción.

Hes not only a mexican great singer! he's a latin american legend.

Im from mexico and i legitely loved this reaction, i really wished all the people getting chills from his voice could actually understand the letter its actually deeper than what y’all think

Los tenores siempre se llevan la atencion por llegar a notas altas pero jose jose nos mostro lo bello que es el suave timbre de un baritono.

No autotune, no mastering nothing system for audio. Sing real, real music. 2019 Un grande.

When you understand the lyrics it takes it to another level

He made a comment that no one including himself would ever sing this song the way he did that day!

And those people caught in camera in awe of his voice and applauding are quite famous singers as well. An acknowledgement of how truly great José José was

José José studied opera and his parents were musicians too. Rest in peace my Prince

Imagínense si entendiera la letra :') Jose Jose siempre presente.

Her: I think it'd be so spectacular live Us: in tears

22 años de edad tenía José José, en años 70 's sin tanta tecnología ni maestros de canto. Él era un grande!

“Passion that only Latin singers have” that’s correct.

Rip “El Principe de la canción “ a great Mexican singer, who had a big fan like Mr. Frank Cinatra ❤️🇲🇽

El Triste means the Sad one in English I remember listening to this with my dad because he misses my grandparents in Mexico and this was the song that he sang to them the night he left to come to the USA. VIVA MEXICO CABORNES!!🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

I learned that there is no other form of music that has more passion than that from Mexico. You don't have to know the words but you know the song from the passion. When the song cries you cry when the song laughs, you laugh. So wonderful.

RIP “El principe de la canción”

the guy that was staring at him with a massive jaw drop at about 5:07 is Marco Antonio Muñiz, also a leyend mexican singer

The funniest part is that he didn't win the contest... he won all mexicans love :D

Mexico 🇲🇽👍José José tremendo cantante..

In my opinion, the best Mexican singer of all time.

Thanks so much Beth, I am loving you’re reacting to Mexican singers, quite the icons in our country. He was a titan.

En finas palabras le dijo: José "la fucking bestia" José🔥🔥🔥

As a Mexican whenever i see a foreigner reacting to jose Jose and loving it and praising his voice it makes me happy to know that music doesn't have barriers at all and can be enjoyed by anyone 🔥🔥🔥

His parents were an opera singer and a pianist, maybe that’s why he was so great. He also played double bass in jazz combos early on. May he RIP. Nice reaction, Beth, thank you.

He said that no one again would sing like that anymore even him, that moment was special for him.

He was the number one singer from Mexico ,was the mexican frank Sinatra , his wild life got him sick and lost his voice but he still the Prince of the song. PRINCIPE DE LA CANCION love your channel ❤️

Para la gente que no entiende ingles pues Tiene subtítulos no mamen xd

Jose Jose's father was a tenor, he was a baritone, mother was a concert pianist. this is why his voice was so well trained.

We loved him so much, he just passed last Saturday, Mexico is in mourning for him.

Jose jose was a world class artist. I think people would be pretty surprised to see how many great singers Mexico has produced over the years.

Es la interpretación musical en vivo mas impresionante de la historia mundial. Saludos a mexico desde Honduras

I learned spanish through music...and this was the first song Inheard from him...it impacted me greatly.

You really have to react to “Hasta que te conocí” by Juan Gabriel. What an amazing performer and singer, you won’t regret it!

Beth Roars jose jose is one of Artist powerfull and 💘 in Mexico greit job. He's one of my FAVORITE ARTISTS. CONGRATULATIONS VOICE COUCH. JUST KEEP GOING. 😀😁👍✌👋🎤🎧🎼🎵🎶🎤🎧

R.I.P. to José José, there truly has never been a singer like this

That microphone could barely withstand his powerful voice. It would sound so much more beautiful if he was using modern tech. Oh goodness I could only imagine

The lyrics for you: The Sad Man How sad it was to say goodbye, When we adored each other so much, Even the swallow migrated Foreshadowing the end. How sad everything is without you, The seas of the beaches are gone, All colours turn dyed in gray, Everything is loneliness now. I don't know If I'll see you once again, I don't know what will become of my life without the blue star of your being no longer sheding light on me. Today I want to taste out my pain, I'm not asking for compassion nor mercy This love story was written to be eternal "What a sad man", everyone says I am, That I'm always talking about you They don't know that by thinking of your love, of your love, I've been able to help myself carry on living. Today I want to taste out my pain, I'm not asking for compassion nor mercy This love story was written to be eternal "What a sad man", everyone says I am, That I'm always talking about you They don't know that by thinking of your love, of your love, I've been able to help myself carry on living

Great analysis of a legend 🎼🎵🎶🎤🎙

Una clase a muchos cantantes moditas de hoy.. abrazo from Brazil

The audience was full of other singers and even they couldn't hide their admiration for the greatest of all our artists.

And remember he was just 22 years old in that performance.

Este para mi es el segundo mejor cantante del mundo despues de fredie mercury , soy argentino y creo q mexico tiene los mejores vocalistas de este mundo ❤

Thank you for doing jose jose. El príncipe. An amazing voice that was lost to early before his death. Jose jose una voz inovidable.

Rest in peace maestro. He was one of the finest Mexican singers ever. Thank you Beth for doing this video 🇲🇽♥️🇬🇧

Frank Sinatra admired his talent tremendously. Wanted to record with him.

Josè Josè was a super singer, one of the best ever. His voice was out of this planet. Thanks for your reaction to this iconic Mexican singer.

Hey who's cutting onions

For those who doesn’t know anything about Jose Jose, he lived a wild life and lost his voice and died a few weeks ago

1970? Golly, Beth, that's when I graduated from high school; shows that good music and singing are timeless.

I love how you completely describe the singing components. It’s refreshing to have someone articulate something as primordial as singing in such a clear and technical way. Super spot on!

Jose Jose. What can you say that his singing can’t tell you? Amazement, greatness, passion. Heart.

I love this! Sadly he just passed away this Saturday so this feels even more special! Tysm RIP Jose Jose

Yeah his dad was an opera singer, RIP my prince, Jose Jose forever.

this man is not just a singer, He is Jose Jose one of the most beautiful voices in the world, he was excellence and then some... this video is from OTI festival 1970, but i am sure that you can find videos with better sound and video, and trust me you will be blown away. Beth Roars, thank you.

Wow, what a voice! Thank you for sharing good music and expanding our musical horizon.

Roberto Cantoral wrote this song to his mom that had just passed away, it’s about how he feels so much pain losing a loved one, he was waiting for just the right person to sing it and got a couple of options the girl that was number one or this young man that was just starting but that was really good: Jose Jose, he was entered in this show with”El triste” song but didn’t win, it was all about the songs not the singer, he got third place, and people always said he was “the king with no crown “ to this day no one remembers the first place song and the singer, he had a very tormented life, happy times and very hard times, but he always survived everything including his drinking problem which almost killed him, in his last years he couldn’t sing anymore he lost his voice, he could barely talk, if you guys didn’t know him I invite you to check out his songs and videos of his life, he was he is and will be “ el principe de la canción” forever y para siempre😪❤️

When I was very little my mother introduced me to his songs. He's was one of the greatest Mexican singers. They called him. El príncipe de la canción. (The Prince of the Song).. RIP Jose Jose.

Hi Beth! I first discovered your channel after a recent movie related to Pedro Infante (whom you had reacted to in the past) came out on Netflix. Thank you for your work and being such a sensitive artist yourself! A little comment about this video is that all of the people in the audience you see in awe and almost gapping at his performance were famous artist of his time! That's how big of performance this was. Love Jose Jose. Thanks Beth 🥰

Thank you so much for this... This man is my idol and every time I hear this song it just feels my spirit with passion.

They would literally boo you off the stage if they didn't like you, and he stunned the crowd

Sinatra was in love with Jose Jose’s voice... He invited him to make a duet but it wasnt possible because Jose Jose’s record label didnt allow him. About this presentation, it was a latinamerican music contest, and surprisingly he didnt win. It was the first time ever that he showed this song to the world, even before the recorded version.

one of a kind... historical performance !!!

Cada que lo escucho se me pone la piel de gallina y lloro :(

You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for this video. He recently passed away, people are still mourning his death all over the world. Thank you for reviewing this old video from the Oti competition.

I will always get goosebumbs from this song.... R.i.p jose jose

5:20 Beth Roars es que su papa de José José era tenor y su mama cantante de Opera, dejaron un legado con José José.

Uno de los mejores cantantes Mexicanos Hoy México está de luto 🇲🇽♥

He got everything that was needed, as far as the info that I'v read over the years states, huge lungs and breath capacity, diction and pronunciation, very flexible vocal cords... feeling and passion and for sure the love of Mexican people. Unfortunately he had also an appetite for self destruction, same as many other talented people. I guess life has to give you both , otherwise you would be perfect or close to it. RIP José José. Thanks for the video.

You got my view. I listened to him all through high school. Thanks to my Mexican fam for showing me real music. No one like him. Por Siempre el principe De la musica.

Long live José José, so many bohemian nights enjoying his music! The man was by far the best singer in Latin América, it’s a shame he lost his voice in the end but the man truly lived and that’s something very few people can brag about!.

frank sinatra thought jose jose was the best singer he had ever heard

Man I'm from Puerto Rico and I used to hear Jose Jose when my mom cleaned the house and I just loved to hear him all the time I just love his voice, RIP

Me es imposible no emocionarme al ver ese vídeo! José José en su mejor momento y con esa voz tan impresionante que tenía! Es mi interprete favorito de este tipo de música, y algo muy singular en él, es que siempre daba crédito al compositor de la canción que iba a interpretar. Un groso el príncipe!

Spectacular!!! Thank you for this video of Jose Jose.

That song is the hardest that he sang in throughout his musical career

His voice always gives me chills& tears.. he is so connected with the lyrics and brings out the emotions that these songs were meant to do

¡VIVA SIEMPRE JOSÉ JOSÉ!

tan fantastico fue esa noche y esa presentacion que ni el mismo lo pudo volver a repetir de la misma manera... el es mi cantante favorito.

"El TRISTE "......Tristes ahora somos todos los amantes de tus musica 🥺 pero nos quedamos con tu música y los mejores recuerdos que nos dejaste no solo a los mexicanos si no a todo el mundo Decansa en paz Principe que fuiste el mejor la rompiste 👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌😢😭

This legend has just passed away 😭 Rest in peace.

THE BEST MALE SINGER. THAT VOICE IS INCOMPARABLE. I LISTENED TO HIM ALMOST EVERYDAY.

'Today I want to relish my pain I ask neither for compassion nor mercy The story of this love was written For eternity' My favorite verse of the whole song. This was a very unique rendition, even José himself later stated neither himself or anybody else would ever sing this song the way he did that night, written by songwriting legend Roberto Cantoral. 04:57 Even Angelica Maria was blown away!

I cry at his because IS ONE OF MY jOSE joSE FAVORITE SONGS EVER, AND HE SUFFERED SO MUCH IN HIS LIFE, WE WILL MISS YOU, GRAN MAESTRO .

He’s now signing in heaven 😭

What a voice! The control of the breathing and the volume. RIP sweet prince.

José José it's the Prince of song. Viva mexicoooo

Is not just the thechique, also, the lyrics, with that outstanding voice is impressive.

"EL PRINCIPE DE LA CANCION" Así lo apodo Frank Sinatra, un dato interesante

No deja uno de sorprenderse de esta increible canción el triste que tiene de todo tonos graves y agudos y la interpretación es magistral y para el principe de la canción marco un antes y un despues fue el parte aguas en su carrera musical.y ahora que a fallecido deja este legado que quedara por mucho tiempo en la memoria de muchos Mexicanos.

I always loved his music and how it played with ALL your heart strings!!

The best Jose Jose RIP ‘The prince of the song” His heart is on each word
