My Buble...

"I see alot of gentlemen out there tonite...ino it was your wife or gf or bf who brought you here...*laughs*...they said (impersonating a female voice) 'lets go watch michael buble'...(impersonating a deeper male voice) 'michael buble???'...it doesnt matter that you didnt want to be here...cos its not about me tonite, its not even about the music and its definitely not about these guys (points to the band behind him)...its about the good men out there, the nice ones...its about helping those men get laid tonite!"

Audience starts clapping mad...

At which point two men from front row got up and shook Michael Buble's hand for his help in getting them *some* for the nite...hehehe

This guy is a star! Its not just about his voice...he has a charisma...a presence on stage...he can dance...he connects with the audience...when his band puts him on the spot, he lives up to the challenge...he isnt afraid to poke fun of himself...and he is humble!

I watched Michael Buble at the Opera House last nite and im still smiling about it! He took my breath away and put a warm fuzzy glow in my stomach. When i think about the performance, i just secretly smile! He sang all the songs from his album...and then he sang his favourite songs...a song dedicated to his grandfather...a song that he sang at his first Talent show at 16 y/o...he sang Kermit the Frog's - Rainbow Connection, a Lenny Kravitz song, he started skatting (awesome) and then he turned and sang Mack the Knife...he did Funny Valentine (and i just *swoooned*).

M will hate the fact that she missed this concert...i mentioned earlier that his band had put him on the spot...what they did was...initially...somehow Michael started talking about Michael Jackson...so he started singing a young Michael Jackson song (can't remember what it was) and it was cut short cos it was just a joke...Michael continued talking to us and then the drummer was starting to play Billy Jean and coaxed the other band members to play too...Michael didn't see this coming...and the audience cheered Michael to sing...and he did and in the second verse...he just didnt know the words and said "get to the chorus"...it was brilliant and fun! ^_^

Time just flew by...i remember when we first sat down in our seats there was this older woman in her late 50s or early 60s who was there to watch the show on her own...and then a couple came along...surprisingly that couple was that older woman's friends that she hasnt seen in 20 years (so they told me while they laughed with tears in their eyes)...i think that was icing on the cake! Imagine going to a concert on your own and ur friends that you havent seen for an ultra long time happen to go to the same concert and have the two tickets right next to you!
*^_^*

I did a bad thing though last nite, but that bad thing will bring me joy for a really long time...i brought my MD and recorded the concert...ino i wasnt allowed, but i regret not recording Jewel in the Concert Hall...that venue makes the singer's voice resonate...having the equipment...being in the Concert Hall...knowing that Michael would sound fantastic...i would have been a fool not to record Michael Buble!

So i did, and i listened to it while i slept last nite, i think i floated to heaven...
