Michael Bublé is a man who started his career ostensibly giving the impression he was stuck in the past but who has become a global superstar by cleverly mining the archives of popular standards and giving them a new, if not always modern, twist. He has, however, always ensured his albums contained at least one radio friendly, middle of the road pop song to help "sell" his albums, and you would have to have been living in a cave to be unfamiliar with tracks such as "Home" and "Lost". Bublé was born in British Columbia, Canada, in 1975. His vocal talent became apparent in his teens but it wasn't until a chance meeting with David ...  Read the complete review

I had heard of Michael Buble, but it was only when he appeared on X Factor in 2009 that I took any notice of him. He has a voice that is unlike any I have heard in mainstream music recently. He sings jazz/swing music, and often covers more popular songs but puts his own spin on it - such as the brilliant Cry Me A River on his new album, Crazy Love. His most popular song has to be Haven't Met You Yet which is so catchy. I bought this CD for my Mum for Christmas, which cost me £7.99 from Amazon. I listen to it whenever I am cooking at hers and it is so relaxing and soulful. I find myself dancing around the kitchen and singing along to ...  Read the complete review

Crazy Love Michael Buble (2009) Now I like jazz, I like swing, I like the old crooners and Mr Buble is a bit of a modern day incarnation of them all. Coupled with the fact I liked his 'Call me Irresponsible' album, and the fact I got lots of iTunes vouchers for crimbo, I decided to download Mr Buble's latest in it's entirety. Mikey boy sets the tone of this album with the opener, a big band, full on version of the old classic 'cry me a river'. In truth I don't much care for this version, which has a touch of the James Bond theme to it. I didn't much like Justin Trouser snake's version either. To me this should be angst ridden, forced, ...  Read the complete review

I enjoy a good variety of music from RnB to jazz, at the moment I am loving Michael Buble's Crazy Love album. ** Tracks ** 1. Cry me a river - This is exactly what you would expect from Michael Buble, his usual big band song. I wouldn't say that this is one of my favourites although it is a fantastic cover. My son thinks it's the song from James Bond and it does sound very similar. Overall he sings the song very well and it is very easy to listen to. My rating 3/5 2. All of me - I really love the piano in this song, its very rat pack, if that even makes any sense lol. This song starts off quite delicately but ...  Read the complete review

I am a huge Buble fan - I have all his albums and yes he does do covers a lot of the time but he does them very well indeed. And he has only got better with each album - Crazy Love is definitely his best work to date. A Canadian singer who started out singing in bars, Michael has several Grammys to his name and has sold out various worldwide tours. Hes also a very good looking chap! Crazy Love is the follow up album to his last smash hit Call Me Irresponsible and looks well on its way to outselling that. Michael's musical style of choice is jazz - think Sinatra and the rat pack. He does big band stuff really well, and that's probably my favourite ...  Read the complete review
