His sexy, melting voice and come-to-bed eyes have millions of women saying “yes, please”!
Michael Bublé, 31, talks to Karla Napoleon about love, his family and eating tacos at the Golden Globes
Michael on his quest for success I would have gone on TV's
Pop Idol.
I would have done anything to make it. I was on the club circuit for ten years and on the verge of giving up, but I learnt my craft. On shows like that, you take these kids from high school and, all of a sudden, they're stars. I failed for ten years and
learnt from my mistakes. I really feel for the kids on those shows sometimes because they have such high expectations.
Michael on his lifestyle I don't live a celebrity lifestyle. If I have to go to a party or event, I do. It can be fun, but I would rather have a bite to eat, a couple of glasses of nice wine and go home and play a game or two of Scrabble. I never want to make the mistake of confusing who I am with what I do. In this business, it's so easy to
believe in your own hype; I don't want that.
Michael on his song's appeal The songs I sing are
universally loved and
transcend all borders. The cool thing about my fans is they're young and old, gay and straight, black and white. At my shows, I see a group of bikers and then groups of women on a girls' night out and everyone's just singing along. I think that's a testament more to the music than it is to me.
Michael on meeting girls One of the reasons I started singing was so I could
meet girls. I wasn't a dork at school, but I was just as insecure as any other boy. Obviously I loved music, but it was a factor. I think that's why men hunger for power, as with it comes better odds of meeting the person you love. I now know
the only thing that fame does for you is it keeps you from standing alone like a lemon at a party. I've got two younger sisters, but I don't have a huge number of female friends. It's hard to be friends with a woman if you find her attractive.
What do I look for in a woman? I like them to be kind and it's a bonus if they have the ability to love me unconditionally as I'm not the easiest guy to live with.
What makes me difficult to live with? I'm a man – everything.
What don't I like? Neediness. Too much insecurity. Or even too much security.
My perfect date You'll be disappointed. It would be waking up and having a hamburger, then going out to play hockey, coming back and watching some hockey, then playing some video games. I said you'd be disappointed!
I'm not extravagant. I like good food, but I'm not into luxuries. I lose everything. Don't buy me a nice watch because it'll be gone in two days. I don't have a car; I rent a truck when I go home for $25 a day. And when it's a nice day, I also love buzzing around on my Vespa.
What's on my iPod? The best of 85, 86, 87… I love '80s pop music. When I first heard Michael Jackson's Off the Wall and Thriller albums, I thought they were the greatest things that ever happened.
I love all music. Of course, I like Sinatra and Tony Bennett, but I also love Coldplay, Oasis, Linkin Park and Jamie Cullen and I think Mika's great.
Michael on clothes I'm a jeans, T-shirt and baseball cap sorta guy, but I like to
make an effort for my shows. I've been to so many concerts where the acts show up looking like they just woke up. It reeks of insecurity. I think to myself, “Wow, you tried hard to look cool”. What's wrong with looking nice?
Michael on his high points Two of the
high points of my life were when I won four Junos, the Canadian music awards, in 2006 and when Emily [Blunt] won a Golden Globe. It was funny, because when I won, I was so overwhelmed and Emily was jumping around me in excitement. And when she won the Globe, we reversed roles. I was going crazy. I managed to completely and utterly enjoy the moment because it was about her.
To celebrate, we bought 20 tacos from a taco place in LA and just sat there, in all our finery, eating $11 worth of food. And at Taco Time that's a whole lot of money to spend.
One day, I know I'll look back and wish I'd enjoyed it a bit more. That I'd smelt the roses. But it's not part of my character. I'm driven. When I've got a number one song, I'm thinking, what can I do to make the next one better?
