When singer Michael Bublé accepted an offer to sing at the wedding of the Canadian Prime Minister's daughter in 2000, he didn't realize it would be a life-changing event.
At the wedding, Bublé, who was considering ditching his eight-year-in-the-making career for a media job, met multiple Grammy award-winning producer and Warner Bros. record executive David Foster, and soon signed onto his 143/Reprise Records label.
Bublé, 31, doesn't favor the groove of the moment. The artist instead seeks music with melody -- the songs made popular by Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Barry Gibb and Eric Clapton -- making the British Columbia native a favorite of international audiences of all ages.
Bublé's warm, engaging tenor-voiced interpretation of classic covers as well as original tunes has often given him the designation as the young Frank Sinatra.
"It is a huge compliment," Bublé told the Associated Press, "but it is false. There will never be another Frank Sinatra. I never wanted to be another Frank Sinatra. I only wanted to be another Michael Bublé."
The crooner has a 2007 Grammy nomination (Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for "Caught in the Act") and a People's Choice Awards nomination in the Favorite Remake category for his 2006 "Save the Last Dance for Me" single.
Bublé, who performs Friday at the Fox Theatre, is on tour with his third studio album, "Call Me Irresponsible."
"I came in with more experience (than with his first two recordings)," he says. "In certain ways, I was more confident; and in other ways, I am far more humble."

If you're living suburban life in Utah Valley circa 2007, it's safe to say that you will never find yourself in a New York nightclub listening to the smooth crooning jazz of Frank Sinatra or Sammy Davis Jr. Fear not, dear friends, for your answer comes smartly packaged in the black-suited, knee-buckling Michael Bublé, who gave a show-stopping (and for many in the audience -- heart-stopping) performance Tuesday night at the E Center in West Valley City. Dripping with the same charisma you'd imagine oozed from Frank's baby blues, Bublé kept every last audience member on edge -- and on their feet -- for a good hour and a half of brassy, big-band jazz. However, a huge voice and a great smile weren't Bublé's sole charms. Quick-witted and endearingly genuine, here was a performer that never lost connection with his audience. At one point breaking "the fourth wall between the audience and the performers," Bublé jumped off the stage and ran through the E Center crowd, hugging and shaking the hands of his fans. "I have a new appreciation for my fans," Bublé gushed. "You really should see my house." But it's no great wonder that Bublé's career has been so lucrative thus far. At 31, the Canadian-born son of a fisherman and a housewife has made a name for himself with three major albums, two live records and tour dates that continue to sell out across the nation. With showmanship like this, you can't help but simply smile and snap to the rhythm of songs like "Fever," "Call Me Irresponsible" and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love." And though jazz standards backed with a full brass band seemed to be his forte, Bublé's greatest applause came for his self-written, No. 1 hit, "Home," specifically when he implanted "Salt Lake City" into the closing lyrics. Salt Lake City responded well, even when Bublé told audience members that he loved them so much he'd be willing to marry everyone in the crowd. "And I hear you can do that here," he quipped afterward. Though ticket prices were a bit steep, you'd be hard-pressed to find a performance more worth the money, whether at a swanky nightclub in midtown Manhattan or West Valley's E Center. Truly, the man who has dubbed himself "irresponsible" is more aptly branded, "irresistible." Michael Bublé in concert The E Center, July 17 1. I'm Your Man 2. It Had Better Be Tonight 3.

Buble hams it up with cheese, schlock |

TanyaB (Michael_Buble)
Michael Buble is a ham.
He's a very good singer, but he's a stellar performer. In the tradition of the great standards singers before him, Buble has a sterling voice that is only outshined by his undeniable wit, confident banter and flirtatious charm.
And so he had the nearly packed house at the Wells Fargo Theatre enrapt and in stitches throughout a 90-plus-minute show Wednesday night that spanned decades with the ease of Buble's gentle, conversational allure.
From the set-opening "I'm Your Man" to the set-closing "That's Life," Buble had his set down pat on Wednesday.
The songs sounded better than the recordings. The transitions were flawless. His voice was, quite literally, gorgeous. But that's not to say there wasn't a healthy serving of cheese and schlock that came along with Buble's polished routine.
He marveled at Mayor John Hickenlooper's name, making fun of its bulbousness.
"It reminds me of a bad '70s sitcom where there's the one guy who always gets in trouble," he said, growling Hick's last name.
Buble beat-boxed his way through a segment of his most current record's title track, "Call Me Irresponsible."
He took a lap through the crowd and accused the people in the upper levels of fondling his buttocks.
He called tenor sax player Mark Small "Mark Biggie Smalls." And while introducing drummer Robert Perkins, he broke into the chorus of Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Machine's "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You."
Of course he admitted he's a goofball. And to his credit, he rarely mixed the humor and the music. For the most part, the music was grand and deserving of the audience's attention.
His "Fever" was sexy and provocative, as was his "Me and Mrs. Jones," of which he posed the question, "What could be more romantic than a married woman cheating on her husband with a younger man?"
The ladies in the audience loved that one.
His "I've Got The World on a String" acted as boasting time for Buble and his muscular 13-piece orchestra - a band that was fronted by a potent eight-piece brass-woodwinds section that he relied upon heavily throughout.
Those eight players boosted some of Buble's gigantic arrangements into the stratosphere.

He could not name the last Canada-based male singer to land at No. 1 on the U.S. album chart -- before he accomplished it himself this spring.
Bryan Adams with "Reckless" in 1984.
"You're [bleeping] me," blurted Bublé, who returns to Minneapolis next weekend for two concerts. "I'll be brag-ging to my family in about three hours."
Bublé, 32, croons like Sinatra, curses like Eddie Murphy and charms like Bill Clinton. Those traits may help explain why he has joined Nickelback, the Vancouver rock band, and Celine Dion, the Montreal pop diva, at the top of the U.S. charts.
But why is it hard out there for a Canadian-based vocalist trying to score in the States?
"There are two things to jump over -- become a success here and then it is a jump to the U.S.," said Larry LeBlanc, Canadian bureau chief of Billboard. "The barrier is there. We can't go back and forth across your border like you can with ours."
Why did Bublé's fourth album, "Call Me Irresponsible," debut at No. 1 in May?
Bublé (boo-BLAY, it's Italian, not French) will tell you it's because of career momentum.
Adams told us in an e-mail it's because Bublé is a good singer.
Music marketing experts will tell you it's because of a one-two punch: appearing on "American Idol" and "Oprah."I was so [bleep-y] on 'Idol' that I think it would be the opposite," Bublé said with a hearty laugh. "There were probably 80,000 people about to buy the record who went, 'Oh, he's really not that good.' I don't know how much that helped. Maybe it put you in the consciousness of some of the American public."Oprah," however, was another story.
"They say she's good for 35,000 or 40,000 records for that week and the next couple of weeks," he said this month from his Vancouver home. "That kind of power is pretty amazing. People believe Oprah as a tastemaker. They trust her. It was quite shocking to me to see that kind of impact."
The Oprah appearance effectively captured this modern-day lounge singer, who is one of those artists who must be seen live to be fully appreciated. Plus, he's a charming talker.
Onstage, he's ham and cheese, slathered with lots of romantic dressing on two slices of dark and handsome. He sings and swings. He does shtick and turns on the charisma. As a London writer put it: He's like Bill Clinton -- he'll come on to whomever is in front of him.
• • •
"Call Me Irresponsible" presents Bublé's personality and stage essence more successfully than his previous discs, which were slickly produced by David Foster, the Los Angeles-based Canadian who has worked with Barbra Streisand, Josh Groban and Dion.
Bublé attributes the improvement to his singing live instead of recording multiple takes and slicing them together for a pristine version. "David and I sometimes go to war over our sense of style," said the singer, who again worked with Foster on this album. "I like things to be a little more loose and dirty, and he likes things to be perfect."
Once again, Bublé takes on standards, including "The Best Is Yet to Come" and "That's Life." He also reimagines contemporary pop hits, including Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" (as a bossa nova duet with a man) and Billy Paul's "Me and Mrs. Jones" (as a duet with a woman).
At dinner one night, Foster pitched "Me and Mrs. Jones," a 1972 soul hit, to Bublé. He didn't even know the song, but his girlfriend, actress Emily Blunt of "The Devil Wears Prada" fame, proclaimed: "Oh, my God, this is wonderful!"
Said Bublé: "If looks could kill, my girlfriend would have been dead. I walked out of the restaurant and said, 'Emily, you've empowered David.' "
They went home, put "Me and Mrs. Jones" -- about a man's affair with a married woman -- on an iPod. Bublé concluded: "It sucks." But after six or seven more listenings, he started to appreciate the melody and later the lyrics in a "sexy yet kitschy" way.
While recording it, Foster suggested adding a dark, moody female voice. Bublé recommended Blunt, a cellist who can sing. So the producer auditioned her and she got the part.
But now when the recording comes on in front of unfamiliar listeners, right when it gets to Blunt's vocals, she always turns down the volume. "I don't usually say anything," her boyfriend said. "She cringes easily."
So she's not going to go on tour and sing it with Bublé?
"No, never," he laughed. "I really don't want to cross the line of cheesiness. I think we already got close to that."
• • •
While his salmon-fishing parents were out to sea, young Michael, the oldest of three children, got hooked on the standards in Grandpa's record collection. When the family realized the youngster could sing, Grandpa, a plumber, would go to bars and offer to fix toilets in exchange for letting the kid sing on the bandstand.
After years in Canadian clubs, Bublé got his break in 2000 when he sang at the wedding of the Canadian prime minister's daughter. Producer Foster was there and the assertive Bublé asked for a recording opportunity. Foster said the singer would need $500,000 to have a shot at making it in the business.
Bublé found investors and eventually released his first U.S. album in 2003 through Reprise, the label that Frank Sinatra founded. With heavy touring and many TV appearances, the Canadian built his career to the point where his third CD, 2005's "It's Time," stayed at No. 1 on Billboard's traditional jazz chart for a record 80 weeks. In addition to receiving two Grammy nominations, he has sung on Tony Bennett's 2006 duets disc and on a new Ella Fitzgerald tribute CD, on which he's the only male vocalist.
For his own new project, the retro popster co-wrote two songs in a more contemporary vein. "Everything," his current single, is the bubbliest thing Bublé has recorded.
"I love pop music, and I was hoping I could do what I do and delve a little closer to acoustic pop without being called schizophrenic," he said. "I wrote a melody with a nice '70s summer feel, and I sat with a lyricist to write about being newly in love."
Then to add a pop-rock edge, he enlisted Canadian producer Bob Rock, who has helmed hits for Metallica, Bon Jovi and Mötley Crüe.
The album also includes a cover of "I'm Your Man" by Leonard Cohen, who rivals Joni Mitchell as the greatest Canadian songwriter to not hit No. 1 in the States. Bublé had a conversation about the song with its legendary composer.
"I said: 'OK, Leonard. I'm a bit afraid of how this is going to come off live.' He said: 'Why?' I said: 'Because I'm afraid it's just too sexy. I don't know what's going to happen when men start throwing their underwear at me.'
"He didn't laugh. He just said [imitating Cohen's deep whisper]: 'I don't think that will be a problem.' "

Album of the week: Michael Buble' |

I missed the wave of swooning women that old-soul vocalist Michael Bublé rode in on. I always wondered what his purpose was. After all, if you like songs by Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jnr and Dean Martin, why not just buy the best of the rat pack?
But, Bublé's sixth album, Call Me Irresponsible, is the first of his albums I have listened to, and I'm converted. The album is an engaging mix of songs from every decade and a couple of original songs co-written by Bublé - Lost and Everything - that are destined to become oft-covered in their own right. Swinging toe-tappers such as The Best is Yet To Come and the title track, Call Me Irresponsible, are given a unique Bublé twist and his honeyed, crooner tones save this 13-track offering from being nothing but a knock-off of classic songs.
The wonderful 1930s classic, I've Got the World on a String, is updated for a new millennium audience, yet retains its big band roots and one can almost see the swaying brass section, the finger-clicking all-male back-up singers and the nattily dressed piano player playfully tickling the ivories. Bublé also includes a version of 1972's Me and Mrs Jones, a playful tune about an illicit affair that is reminiscent of smoky bars and lounge singers. Also, the Leonard Cohen-penned I'm Your Man is the kind of tune every woman wishes her man would sing to her. It's about a man so desperately in love, he'll do anything to please his lover.
Bublé also enlists the vocal help of fellow crooners, including loverboys Boyz II Men on Comin' Home Baby and the Eric Clapton classic, Wonderful Tonight, with prominent Brazillian singer and songwriter Ivan Lins.
While Bublé might be the new king of swing, he pays tribute to another musical monarch, Elvis Presley, with the touching ballad Always on My Mind. Also on the album is the philosophical That's Life and the motivational, cheering Dream, both of which have been remastered.
Canadian Bublé began modestly in 2003, but the aptly named It's Time in 2005 launched him onto charts around the world and he hasn't looked back. He's won Grammys, he's dating hot young British actress Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada) and, if Call Me Irresponsible is anything to go by, he's likely to be on the scene for some time to come yet.
Whether you grew up on Frank and his crew or not, Bublé's a singer who brings the late and the great to life again, but with his own special swinging spin. Great stuff. Gayle Edmunds

Singer MICHAEL BUBLE has played down rumours he is set to marry his actress girlfriend EMILY BLUNT. Buble says he and The Devil Wears Prada star laughed at recent news reports suggesting the pair were engaged. He says, "We had a good laugh about that one." The Call Me Irresponsible hitmaker also claims he hates "gushing" celebrities who constantly showcase their relationships - and won't be calling Blunt pet names in the press. He says, "I get really turned off reading celebrities gushing about each other. 'She's my snooky-wooky-pooky and I'm the luckiest man in the world!'"

HE is not your average wedding singer but when you are asked to serenade Australia's richest man and his model bride at their star-studded $6m wedding, it's not an event you pass-up.
Canadian crooner Michael Buble has revealed he was the headline entertainment at James Packer and Erica Baxter's French Riviera wedding.
He was asked to perform at the event by his Australian promoter Paul Dainty, a friend of the newlyweds. "It's my second wedding ever," Buble said yesterday.
"The first time I did a wedding was for the Canadian Prime Minister's daughter (in 2000) and that's where I got my record deal."
Buble said he was given free rein over his musical choices.
"I met them (James and Erica) before, they were warm and lovely. I said 'Is there anything you want me to do?' and Mr Packer said 'Just have fun, that's it'. It was very Australian, very laidback," he said.
Buble took actor girlfriend Emily Blunt to the wedding. "I can't say enough how warm and low-key it was there. Just friends hanging out, Tom Cruise and Kate (Holmes) dancing."
While Elton John reportedly received $800,000 for singing at Packer's first wedding, Buble wouldn't comment on his fee. "It wasn't about money," he said.

TanyaB (Michael_Buble)
June 20, 2007 02:06 PM
"I put pressure on myself," Buble said about the making of his latest album "Call Me Irresponsible." "I was treading a real fine line. I wanted to show growth as an artist, even for my own sanity. At the same time, I didn't want to alienate 11 million or so people who bought the record the first time. I didn't want to make the easy choices, if that makes any sense. I wanted to do songs because they were right. Not because it was the easiest or the simple thing to do."
That challenge also arose when Buble filled in as a last-minute substitute for Tony Bennett on "American Idol" earlier this year, after the legendary singer came down with the flu.
"Now that was terrifying," he said. "It wasn't the most perfect situation for an entertainer to be in. To step in for Tony Bennett is an impossible feat. It's funny; people said, 'Oh you looked loose.'... What I do is a loose thing. The style of music I sing, it's about hearing the lyric and enjoying yourself. It's not a show-stopping, 'American Idol-esque' number.
"You see these kids, and if they do a performance of one of these songs and they do it at a club or a theater, they would probably look over the top. On 'American Idol' it's perfect. It's about vocal gymnastics ... and not much about telling the story."
Buble talked to LiveDaily about "Call Me Irresponsible," working with rock producer Bob Rock, and more.
LiveDaily: How do you go about choosing your songs? There's such a wealth of material out there.
Michael Buble: With great difficulty. It's hard to say. More than anything, it's an instinctual thing. I think it's a gut feeling, knowing if a song is ready to be done--if it had enough time to live and then to be interpreted. I wanted to take songs and take them into my world. I didn't want to just do an ode to the song. I want to kind of make it my own--without turning it into bad lounge music, because it's pretty easy to do.
Do you come up with a list of potential songs, or is that what the producer does?
I think in maybe some cases, that's what a producer does. In my relationship with the producers, I come up with the songs and the concepts. With a lot of the concepts, I come in and say, "I want to do this song, Eric Clapton's ‘Wonderful Tonight,' and I'd love to do it with Ivan Lins because I'm a big fan of [his] records. I think that this song can be taken there, and it can be really tasty and beautiful." Or, with "That's Life," I came to the producer and said, "Here's a song I've always liked. I've been a big fan of Donny Hathaway my whole life and I would love to take this song to church and fuse it with that great gospel R&B feel." I can go on and on and on [about] each song. I spend a lot of time thinking about it. I think what happens is, you think about it so much and you live with these ideas, then, all of a sudden, you start to second guess yourself. So you show up to the recording studio and think, "Is it just me who loves it, or is this going to be loved?"
How did you hook up with Boyz II Men for "Comin' Home Baby"?
The same idea. I was a big fan of this Mel Torme song "Comin' Home Baby," and, every time I heard it, I wanted to do it. The only group I conceived of was Boyz II Men. I figured they'd be a perfect match. They're cool and retro in so many ways. They were a big influence on me as a kid. They were a huge group. I liked a lot of their songs. I knew they were still working and stuff. The first call I made on the record was to call them and ask them if they would do a duet with me.
They must have been thrilled.
They're really nice guys. I had been in touch with Shawn [Stockman of Boyz II Men] before we had even started. We were just kind of fans of each other. We sent e-mails to each other. You know, "Your stuff is great."
How was it to work with producer Bob Rock? He's known for working with the likes of Metallica.
Why, he's one of the greatest jazz players that ever lived! [Laughs] No, I'm kidding. Bob is managed by Bruce Allen, who also manages Michael Buble. (I hate talking about myself in the third person. I just did it to be funny. [Laughs]) It was kind of cool. I've known Bob for a couple years. I just think he's a super guy. Of course, I love a lot of stuff he had done. So I'd written this song "Everything." I figured he'd give it this cool, laid back, not as produced--an edgier thing, very acoustic thing. He's a nice man and we're friends. We had a really great time working together. I can't tell you how thrilled I am that the single has worked. He took a risk working with me and likewise, and it's so cool when it comes out like this and you know your instinct was right.
What did you learn from your primary producer, David Foster?
The enemy of good is great. Truly, I've learned I really want to hold a higher standard for myself and for my music, and for what I do professionally. It's easy to be good and hard to be great. You find with anyone, there's a lot of things you learn positively and a lot of negative things you learn, too. That's what you get by being with people. You can never learn enough.
What can we expect from your concert tour this time around?
Always expect the unexpected. First and foremost: This is a show not a concert. That's the most important thing to me. I'm so bored of these concerts. I keep going to these concerts and I wonder why I didn't stay home and listen to their CD. It's nothing different. I love the fact that entertaining people is a lost art. I have a very small responsibility. People pay money to see me, and I'm to take them away for a couple hours. If I can think about it like that, I can really enjoy myself. I love the organic thing that happens in the relationship I get to have with that audience. It's a very personal kind of intimate thing. Even if I'm playing in an arena. I think every night has to be special. I don't think you can ever just throw a night away. Or sing a song and just throw it away. Every night, these people should know they're seeing something they're not going to see any other time. I change up my show a lot--not always in the set list, but in the things I do or say or certain songs I just break into. I love what I do. I love to have fun like that.
How do you go about making it more of a performance than a concert?
I think there's a lot of different things that go into that. Firstly, give them some nice production. The only thing that makes anyone's show different than anyone else is the relationship they have with the audience ... their comfort level [and] how much fun the person's actually having. Because, you know, it's catchy, very catchy, when you see someone on stage and they look like they're happy to be there ... and they're comfortable and taking the piss out of themselves and laughing. I think that that takes it to another level, when you can allow yourself to really, really, actually, sincerely enjoy yourself.
Why did you decide to name your album "Call Me Irresponsible"?
Because I am irresponsible, and because I love the song. I think being irresponsible can be kind of a cool thing. Just to fall in love it takes being a little irresponsible, but that's a risk I'm willing to take.
