Michael Buble on Graham Norton



Michael Buble's new album Crazy Love is one of my favorites at the moment, as is the lead single "Haven't Met You Yet". Recently he was on The Graham Norton Show promoting the single and album. Here is the performance, and the interview after the jump.



It is really hard not to like the guy. He is an amazing singer as well as an amazing performer. He is also charming, charismatic and witty (see the interview after the jump). He is also a crooner, and you know he gets all the ladies. I can't help but like the guy and his music, but am super jealous and really want to dislike him, but I can't. And did I mention his music is really great. He wrote and sang "Home" and "Lost"; two amazing songs. Oh Buble, I really want to hate you because you are so charming, charismatic, witty, and a romantic crooner, and I'm jealous, but I can't fault you for being so awesome. You win again!

X-Factor 2009 - Top 10


X-Factor 2009 - Top 10
Big Band Week



Olly Murs did "Bewitched" and I was not impressed. It was a bit boring for me, and I felt like I was watching a performance at a hotel, and a cheesy hotel at that. 


Llyod Daniels had a rough time last week, but this week, he did "Fly Me To The Moon" and it was better, but not great. His vocals were not great and he wasn't comfortable nor confident. And I agree with the judges about the back flip - it was odd and not the right song for it.





Miss Frank came back with their rendition of "That's Life". I thought they looked good this week, and sang really well. They showed personality, and of course, Graziella's rap was crazy cool. She is really talented and might be too big for the two other girls.







Rachel Adedeji had an amazing performance. Not only did she sound amazing singing "Proud Mary", but she showed personality and had fun out there. She was in the bottom two the last two weeks, but I don't think that will happen off that performance. Well done!





Jamie Archer sang "Angel of Harlem" which is a U2 song, and as Louis Walsh stated, I don't think it is big band. But Jamie is a great singer and an amazing performer. He was out of his element and didn't look as comfortable as he usually does, but it was a great performance nonetheless.



Stacey Solomon did "When You Wish Upon A Star" and looked like a princess. It was a bit too whimsical for me and a bit over the top, but she did look amazing and sang beautifully. It was an off song, a bit too slow, but she nailed it.





Danyl Johnson sang "Feeling Good" and it was very impressive. It sounded like a mix of Michael Buble's version and The Muse. It was really cool and very James Bond. The big long note at the end was amazing, but the end was a bit abrupt. Best performance of the night.




Joe McElderry did "Sway" and it was a very interesting song choice for Joe, little shy baby Joe. But he pulled it off. He not only sang it, but he performed it. He was out of his comfort zone, but one would not be able to tell looking at that performance. I think he will go far in the competition.



Lucie Jones did a super sexy rendition of "My Funny Valentine". She was so seductive and looked stunning. The vocals were great and she really delivered the song. She didn't just sing, she really got into character and performed it. She has amazing control of her vocals and really sang with emotions. Again I am very impressed and hope she wins.



John and Edward. I can't believe they are still in the competition. They attempted "She Bangs" by Ricky Martin, and honestly, I think I prefer William Hung's version.



Go on and click on READ MORE to find out which two acts were in the bottom two, watch their sing-off, and see who was sent home.

Michael Buble - "Cry Me A River" on X-Factor 2009

Michael Buble's fourth and latest studio album, Crazy Love, was released on the 9th of October, and is topping the charts. It has claimed the #1 spot in the US, Canada, Australia, and Italy. It is #2 on the album charts in the UK, as Alexandra Burke's debut album Overcome came in at the top spot.

This last week, Michael Buble presented a master class for Big Band week with the X-Factor 2009 contestants, and on Sunday's result show, he performed a track from the album called "Cry Me A River"



I am a fan of Michael Buble and am enjoying Crazy Love. I particularly like his cover of "Cry Me A River". It feels like a James Bond theme song. Michael Buble is an amazing performer and vocalist. He really delivers the emotion of the song and sells every word of it. He also has a great sense of humor (see 4:10) and is a class act.

Michael Buble - Haven't Met You Yet




Michael Buble is a modern day Casanova crooner. And a good one at that!




With his great lyrics, silky smooth voice, charming smile, quick wit, and stellar delivery and performances, it's easy to see why he has 3 hugely successful studio albums and three live albums. And more importantly, why he is so popular with the ladies. And I admit, I want to hate him for that. But, I can't, he is that guy you can't find a fault. And his sense of humor... with guys like Michael Buble, guys like me have NO chance... thanks Buble!




Michael Buble is set to release his 4th studio album, "Crazy Love" on the 9th of October. The lead single is called "Haven't Met You Yet" and is a quirky, upbeat love song. I enjoy the song, it's very romantic and up beat, and a great first single. I will admit that I enjoy Michael Buble's ballads and find them haunting (in a good way), emotional and inspiring, which is missing from "Haven't Met You Yet". I would take "Home" or "Lost" over "Haven't Met You Yet" any day.
