Michael Buble on GN show, hope he is not going to 'sing' there are better singers on the karaoke at my local pub, any one else think he is overated?

[bibblebub]

talentless "celebrities" - surely not?

[sir.prize]

talentless 'presenter' too

[erin-x]

I hope Bluestone doesn't see this thread! Lol!

And he's definitely not overrated!

[potty64]

Can't seem to 'put my finger on it' but there's something missing from Buble. Perhaps I'm still in the days of yore ie Frank Sinatra, Dino, Tony Bennet, Tom Jones. They're presentation always seemed so natural with them. It's almost like MB has 'got there' too early. On reflection, Tom Jones was a different style completely but WOW! (Still great!)

[magicmick]

Potty 64 there is something missing with MB he can't sing he is just a Tony Bennet wanabee,

[elliemay1]

I don't rate MB either. Don't like his songs.

[Zacs-Master]

Living off the past glories of far better singers.

Tell us the story behind your avatar magicmick

[Hopkirk]

I find him entertaining to listen to, but I doubt the full truth behind some of his stories.

[Flyhalf]

All I have of his is his Christmas Album, which is OK, if a bit derivative, in that he copies several old 40s/50s arrangements, but there's one cracking track, "Feliz Navidad", on which he is joined by a singer I'd previously never heard of, Thalia.

Right place right time, had a day out in Blackpool eating fish and chips on prom really quiet me and hungry seagulls, next thing two big Mercs pull up first one full of photographers, the second one two big bouncer types they open boot pull out this big black box and set up the Prem trophy started taking photos with big wheel in background, so I gave fish and chips to birds and went to watch they were there about 15 mins the photographers left the bouncer guy said would you like a picture with the trophy so there you have it. It was the year Blackpool got promotion they said there are 4 trophys 3 copies and this was the real one.

[sir.prize]

This guy is good . . .

[magicmick]

He is good sp but with being a tribute act he copies MB juttering jerky style, I would like to see him doing his own thing

[Jemisa]

MB? Nah! not my cup of tea. I'm a Will Young fan.

jem

[magicmick]

My oh likes Will Young I think it's a mothering thing :-)

[nannybooby]

Jemsa -Will Young how sad, Micheal Bubble can sing for me (and my daughter) anyday.

[Maydup]

great trophy story :-)

[Bluestone]

Lol Erin :))

Magicmick, if you dislike him that much, why continue to watch it... let alone start a thread about the man?

No, he's not overated. He's a good singer, he puts on a great show, he's good at what he does. Most females I know think he's utterly gorgeous. Er... anything else? :-)

[Bluestone]

Also, Will Young over Michael Buble? Oh come on!

[magicmick]

Sorry bluestone if I have upset you, I can see you must like the guy, I did not say I dislike him I said I think he is overated, dislike is a bit strong, if you read the thread you will see others saying the same. Plus I feel you should watch or listen to something to give a honest opinion, how can I say he is overated if I don't listen to him? He sang jingle bells last night and killed it. I also thought it was a fair question to put on ab as it did get a response
