List All 7 Reviews Michael Buble in good form as usual
Another first class offering from the young singer. I'm looking forward to seeing him perform live for a second time in May in the UK.

You gotta be kidding me!!!
I just brought home my first Michael Buble CD and I must say I was thoroughly underwhelmed. What's all the fuss over this guy? His vocal talents are pleasing but by no means extraordinary. As a jazz buff, I appreciate his reverent handling of these classic songs, but there is nothing groundbreaking here. To paraphrase a rather coarse political campaign manager "IT'S THE MATERIAL, STUPID!!!" People respond favorably to this music because IT'S GREAT MUSIC, not because Buble has such a wonderful voice. I have to assume that most of those gushing over him aren't really familiar with the great American songbook. When I heard his "My Funny Valentine" I wasn't moved to tears. Instead, I moved over to the CD case to get out my Sarah Vaughn and Chet Baker CD's. Keep in mind that these songs have stood the test of time, (Hum, maybe that's why they are referred to as classics?!) and have been covered by countless singers over the years, many of whom possessed vocal instruments far superior to young Mr. Buble.
This does bring me to one possible bright spot-- Michael Buble is quite young. Maybe his voice will mature. Maybe he'll want to expand his range and try more challenging material. Maybe he'll reinvent those standards and put a totally fresh stamp (preferably his) on them. Or maybe he'll continue sleepwalking through the Frank Sinatra greatest hits catalogue and raking in bucketfuls of money while he can. If he takes one path we'll be discussing him 30 years from now. The other path leads to a VH-1 "Where Are They Now" episode. Time will tell.
To the extent that the current Buble-mania introduces this songbook to a new audience, it's certainly a positive movement on the music scene. Hopefully some of his fans will want to go further and will investigate other great singers past and present. Personally, I'm going to continue listening to the vocalists he cites as having influenced him.

No need to skip tracks. Just push play and let it run.
This music is timeless. Michael honors each original performer of these songs in his own unique way. His performances on these songs make them just as exciting to hear as they were the first time they were released. In one word: "delicious."
