That's life (LP 498 - 500)

Michael Bublé Call me Irresponsible (CD, Reprise, 2007) *** 

Michael Bublé Crazy Love (CD, Reprise, 2009) *** 

Michael Bublé Christmas (CD, Reprise, 2012) **** 

Genre: Jazz vocals 

Places I remember: Charity shops in Caterham for the first 2 and HMV Oxford Street for the Christmas one.

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Crazy Love (Crazy Love); Home (CMI - bonus CD)

Gear costume: Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! (CMI) 

Active compensatory factors: I have a great memory of driving from Caterham to North Wales in December two years ago and playing the Christmas CD in the car with Jacky. Magic.

In truth I'm not a huge fan of his work - those first two CDs were picked up for a pound each from the charity shops and they are pretty uneven. His voice suits some cover material but not all.

I definitely understand the appeal - he's a massive star! A global phenomenon. But sometimes that means you're trying to please a very wide range of people and therefore, you're hit and miss.

When he's on though - as he is in those three selections above - he's truly great.

Where do they all belong? And that's it for Mr Bublé.
