Rating:  - How long till his next CD?
My wife and I have become great fans of the Romantic standards of the 40's thru 60's. Funny cause we grew up on rock and roll at a time when this was our parents music. Now we know why they loved it, and Michael Buble nails it with this CD! Could not believe the depth and quality coming out of the face on that CD. Comparable to a young Sinatra or Harry Connick, Jr. Serious quality production, too. Great band backing him up, great variety of songs. For this style of music, Michael Buble has it all. But what should we expect from the guy who discovered Josh Groban? A different slice, but similar quality.
Rating: - Outstanding debut!
I purchased this CD after catching the last 30-seconds of a story about Michael Buble' on "Extra." I didn't need to preview the CD, listen to it in the store, read other reviews. The minute I heard his voice I knew that David Foster's latest protegee is destined for great success. How refreshing it is to hear a reworking of these wonderful standards. There are delightful hints of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, but Michael Buble' is unique. His interpretation of George Michael's "Kissing a Fool" is wonderful, and "Moon Dance," "The Way You Look Tonight," and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" are fantastic. He truly soars (pardon the pun) on "Come Fly With Me." The only misstep is "How Do You Mend..." but even that is forgiveable. I can't wait for Michael's next release. I have been playing this CD nonstop at work and at home and am personally responsible for at least three people deciding to purchase the CD for themselves. Spread the word: Michael Buble' is the next big thing!
Rating: - Another fun album of pop standards.
Michael Buble has a competent voice, an interesting style and a natural flair when it comes to singing pop classics, and his debut album, produced with the help of David Foster and Paul Anka, is a gem.Listening to it, you'd never guess the album wasn't of the Rat Pack period. Buble, whose smooth voice is a delight, is only 25 years old, though. With Rod Stewart and Robbie Williams doing albums that harken back to the era when Dino and the Chairman ruled the airwaves, it's good to see someone who's not just doing these songs as a sort of wink-wink throwback. Buble sings these songs because he prefers singing these songs, not because he had a pop rock career that fizzled. Hopefully, with future albums, he'll stay within this genre and continue doing such fun, catchy work. It's good that someone like Michael Buble recognizes that the best music is the kind that can lead couples to dance.
