Am i going to be bored out of my MINNNNDDDD?
I don't know if any Americans know who he is but hes this jazz singer from the Vancouver area... he gets played on like, the oldie stations here even though hes like 30.

Anyways, my friend loves him and had no one to go with so i said i'd go with her. Tickets came to like 70 dollars ohhmmyygodddd what the hell did i get myself into?

I've never even ever heard a song by him.

If you like big band / crooner style of music such as Sinatra, Tony Bennet, etc. he is the best in the business today! .....I saw him two years ago at Queen Elizabeth theatre and I have to say it was one of the best performances I have ever seen. His voice is amazing and he is able to sing virtually effortlessly! At the end of the performance after playing for almost two hours he put the mike down and sang with no amplification.....I was blown away by how his voice on its own filled the venue!!! I take it you female? so this probably will not be of interest to you......but the other plus to the performance was he is consider a heartthrob by the ladies......so needless to say there were many fine looking young ladies all dressed to the nines for the occasion

I'm going to the GM place show also....would much rather see him in a smaller more intimate venue but his career has really taken off. Last time I checked ticketmaster there are only single tickets left for the show.

Another Buble fact he is a huge Canuck fan!!! the show I saw him before he talked about his real dream growing up was to play for the Canucks and he brought out a replica Stanley cup, a hockey stick, and a ball. He did some tricks with the stick and ball on stage and he was actually pretty good!!!

I think he has a great voice!
I love crooners tho.
Go , have fun!
I think most music is pretty good live.

he's no dummy. all those great old singers are dead or are very elderly, like tony bennett and andy williams. now old farts have someone new to listen to besides harry connick, jr.

If you're gonna get laid afterwards because you went with her to this concert then yes it is worth going to go...if you aren't then run run run away!! This guy is talented and he can sing but Kenny G is also talented at that flute or sax thing he plays but I sure as shit don't want to sit through it!....unless I'm gonna get laid afterward

You're getting yourself into a good time and some fantastic music that you don't have to be a female to appreciate.

Consider yourself lucky.

he's great you'll like it no matter what kind of music you're into.

Wow guess i'm outvoted and i don't mind sinatra, but i cannot stand him his voice irritates me like no other.

haffajappa

yes yes i am female.
my mom went to school with his dad, random fact. she really wants to go. so does another friend of mine. seems my ticket is in high demand.

glad to hear that people are giving him the thumbs up. when my friend asked me i accepted cause i figured hey, a concerts a concert. so it seems i've made a good choice. plus i need something to pick up my spirits after missing out on the spice girls!

who knows, maybe i'll fall in love with him and join his fan club! i mean, he cant be...thhhhaaaat much different than pearl jam live... right?

Oh, Jimmy

Confusing.

u poor bastard.

My kids call him Mickey Bubbles ... and he falls into a category with Norah Jones, which we call "Sleepy."

You're a good friend for agreeing to go ... it's like me going to the opera with my mother ... which I don't really care for, but have done because it makes her happy. Of course, the last one was Porgy & Bess, which was actually kinda cool.

You're earning good friend karma by going. Consider it your good deed for the day.

Haha you mean 'Snorah' Jones?

My take is he has a good voice- the aerobic program I teach uses some of his music for routines, and the age 50+ contingent in my classes just love it. My take? He's got a really really good voice, but his style of music isn't really my thing. I'm sure it will be a decent show - he seems good at what he does.

cool guy; boring music

He is good. (If you like the genre) Walk in with an open mind. Many times, seeing someone live is the best first exposure. you see what they REALLY are, not what the wizards in the control booth make them...
