Eeee! I love him. Gorgeous voice, and not bad to look at, either.
Funny story time (I think it's funny, if not kind of sad). My friend went to a music store to buy his first CD for her brother. It wasn't on any of the shelves or anything, so she went to the desk to ask about it.
"Do you guys have Michael Bublé's CD?" "Who?" "Michael. Bublé." "Can you spell that for me?" "B-U-B-L-E" "OH! Michael Bubble... Yes. Let me get that for you."
PS: He's going to be on Jay Leno next week. Tuesday, the 8th!
You know I'm teasing, you spilling starlet, right? I mean eh?
In other fabulous news, the City of Rochester bought the Spirit of Ontario (fast ferry) and will resume daily 2 hour crossings to YYZ by May. I will be enjoying your fabulous country more than ever!
Oh yes, there will only be ONE Frank "the man" Sinatra but this is a close second. My favorite songs of his are those that are upbeat. He puts a lot of energy into and I think it fits his voice better.

I've posted with regard to Michael Buble before - after I saw him in concert last year. He has a wonderful presence in concert and truly enjoys himself onstage. The audience was a mix of all types of folks of all ages. During that show, Michael sang most of the songs from his first CD plus a few others like "Beyond The Sea" (Bobby Darin was his favorite singer), "This Guy's In Love With You", and "Rainbow Connection". Funny that none of those 3 made it onto his new disc. He mentioned that his Grandfather was the person who encouraged him to sing - and he started singing in a local jazz bar that Grandpa - a plumber - took him to. He said that he is eternally grateful to his Grandfather for his support. Michael dedicated "That's All", which he considers the most 'romantic' song of all time to his Grandfather.
Yes, there was only one Sinatra, but he is gone and only lives on in our memories and on disc and moviereels. I saw Sinatra in concert in his waning years and even though he lost a few steps, it was great seeing a legend in concert. Michael Buble is here now - and only at the beginning of his career - and is making the kind of music that links the generations together. Young folks can get introduced to this style of music if they so choose - as Buble's Grandfather introduced it to him - and older folks can take a trip down memory lane with a great crooner of a newer generation. I think MB has a long and successful career ahead of him!
