Michael Bublé: Incredibly Talented & Unexpectedly Hilarious


 

"COFFEE FOR EVERYONE after the show!!! ...I was this close. I almost got you!"

"[To the string section] How many of you are Mormon? [About 1/2 raise their hands] Oh my gosh, wait. [To the audience of 10,000] How many of YOU are Mormon? ...I feel so left out."

"Most of you are proof that you don't need alcohol to have fun after all!"

"[Translating a Spanish sign to English] I love your fat baby that loves cake... Oh! I love you like your fat baby loves cake! That makes more sense."

"[After he went on a tangent and had 10,000 people sing the 83 year-old Phyllis 'Happy Birthday'] ...So I'm not really sure how that transitions into songwriting because I didn't write 'Happy Birthday'. Whatever. It's a crap song anyway."

My only regret is not getting any video footage of "All You Need Is Love."

My favorite part of the show (besides Cry Me A River & All You Need Is Love) was at 7:53 in the video when he sings through the evolution of the song Everything. All I can say is, can he release the first draft too? I love it!!

Also, for the encore, he came back out in a sequined tuxedo jacket. It was awesome. He actually sang quite a few more numbers which I'm convinced were not necessarily on the set list. He brought 5 kids on stage to sit next to him and sing "You've Got a Friend in Me" and no one would dance with him. The little girl sitting next to him wouldn't even look at him—it was probably the highlight of his night when he got her to give him a high five when he finished the song. "I finally won you over!"

I was simply blown. away. at the end of the show. I was literally in the back row of the farthest end of the stadium. He 'shhhed' everyone until there was silence and got rid of his mic, in-ear monitors, everything. AND THEN HE SANG WITHOUT ANY SPEAKERS. I'm convinced he's not human. I could hear him perfectly in the back row.

If you can go to a Bublé show, do it! It's the best performance I've ever been to.
