Any Michael Bub'le fans.......

Thomastrouble, I'm glad you like Buble, but you can't compare him to someone he is in essence an impersonator of. I agree someone can come along that is better, but this is like saying a Led Zeppelin tribute band is better than Led Zeppelin, that's where I was coming from with the Elvis comment.

Michael Buble is a well marketed lounge singer, no different than 100 others you would hear in Vegas, he just has better representation.

I am a HUGE Sinatra fan, but I have to agree with Uru975, the voice was going by the 60's. He was cool until the end, but the voice was long gone. Just my opinion, Merry Christmas to all and let's enjoy them both.

Thomas, Michaels newest cd is titled "Crazy Love". My next purchase will be Robbie Williams " Swing when you are winning", Check him out on you tube.

Thanks Tom, I will grab that and the Robbie Williams right after the holidays. I love to buy stuff I am not familiar with even though I end up not liking 70% of it, but the gems I do stumble across keep me happy for years and sometimes after a while I pop in some of the stuff I didn't like and surprise, surprise. Being open-minded is the big secret. It is important to experiment or you never know what you are missing. Previous to having my system (only a few months now) I was heavily into electronica, underground hip-hop, various rock and a bunch of alternative stuff (Tom Waits etc) it's all good though. I rarely listen to any of my previous tastes lately as the quality of the recordings have a big impact on my listening enjoyment. These days I am after well recorded music that I can get into and lucky enough I enjoy a whole range of stuff and the chase is as good as the kill.
