Nobody does LIVE better than Barry! And if you can’t be there in person, this truly is the next best thing. And being able to go back over the years and see shows from years gone by (Showstoppers!, Manilow Sings Sinatra, Big Fun Tour and more…) and even some from the ‘70’s! Being a long time fan, even seeing many of the back up singers and band from over the years has been a treat too. The app itself has worked great. I can easily watch it with my fire stick but most often I watch on my iPad. Still doesn’t beat actually being IN that audience but I’m grateful to have so many shows from over the years available to us. And the cost is minimal. People spend more on coffee in one day! ### 5/5 — MTV Review. Rhoda Blatt-Mascolo *2025-07-12, version 9.100.1* I never new MTV existed until we were in lockdown and I joined the Barry Manilow fan club. It is the best $10.00 a month I have ever spent. I loved watching him in the early concerts. I saw Barry at the Uris Theater back in ‘77 or ‘78. So seeing him in his early years brings back wonderful memories, as does the concerts in the 80's, 90's, 00's and 10's. I love every concert that I watch and I also loved the making of Paradise Cafe. Listening to Barry narrate what was happening and the interaction with the musicians were fabulous. I look forward every month to see concerts I never saw and I enjoy watching the concerts I have seen before. I also love to read what Barry has to say about each of the concerts. I always feel like I'm reading something from one of my friends. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to watch my idol every day! Keep up the good work! 💙♥️💙♥️💙♥️💙♥️💙♥️💙♥️💙♥️💙 Love, Rho ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2025-07-02, version 9.100.1* It is so fun to see these performances throughout the years. It brings back such wonderful memories of when I have seen Barry Manilow in concert over and over since 1975. No 2 shows are alike!!! I especially loved the performance of the Sinatra songs. Fabulous! What a professional!! Thank you!! ### 5/5 — Love Manilow TV *2025-06-01, version 9.100.1* It’s like being at one of Barry’s concerts! I’d love to see some of the newer shows and less reputation. Also stop posting shows where the audio is distorted. It’s just constructive criticism. I still love the channel! ### 5/5 — Manilow TV *2025-05-29, version 9.100.1* I have had this brilliant app since day 1 and love watching all the Barry concerts and I went to many of them 😀🎹🎼🎶 ### 5/5 — Loving MTV *2025-05-24, version 9.100.1* Brings back so many great memories over the last 40 years and with Barry and his music in these concerts you feel as if you are transported back in time. Would love to see something we have not seen before if that is possible. ### 5/5 — Great ap. Well worth it! *2025-05-18, version 9.009.1* Love the new ones and the old ones.

I also enjoy the opportunity to watch events I would not have been able to attend. A must have for any Barry fan!! ### 5/5 — MANILOWTV *2024-12-17, version 8.801.1* Love having access to Barry Manilow’s concerts whenever I want and wherever I am. Love u Barry ### 5/5 — Amazing Singer *2024-12-14, version 8.801.1* Barry is the best ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t get all we should *2023-08-12, version 8.200.1* In emails from the MANILOW TV group so many concerts, shows, appearances are listed. But if you go to the site there is no mention of them. Type in SEARCH and are told there’s nothing there to match it. To be paying this much money, and have access to 21 total videos, from the ‘70s(2 of them) to a few through 2010s, is infuriating. I’m wasting money. I want to see so many concerts; some I saw live. But there’s no connection between the monthly BARRYGRAM list and what small amount we’re offered. ### 1/5 — To Barry *2023-06-10, version 8.200.1* You are so much fun- I love your videos and they have made my heart Alive. My husband passed 2 years ago and yet you have taken his spot. I miss him but I watch your videos over and over. I really think it would be nice to sit and chat with with you. ### 1/5 — I LOVE BARRY MANILOW! *2021-05-14, version 6.020.1* I love the way there are more than 5 videos each month. I renewed my subscription several months ago, & I must say, ManilowTV is MUCH better than it used to be. LOTS of videos to watch. I’m having surgery this week, so I know what I’ll be doing as I recover. Thanks so much Barry!
