Michael Buble - I wish he'd go away.

I can't be the only one fed up to the back teeth of hearing his saccharine wank Christmas songs. I know it's a lot to ask at this time of year but please, any business with a PPL licence, change the record! Michael Buble is everywhere.

Ooh I really like him. I love a bit of cheese.,Thanks for the reminder. Will listen now. 💃

IHaveAskedYouThriceNow · 17/12/2023 11:25

He has a lovely voice!

Wolvesart · 17/12/2023 11:25

He’s not really that good a singer. He’ll never be Frank

@TheTecknician I am with you but I think we are a minority!

Comparison is the thief of joy.

He doesn't have to be a Frank or a Nat or a Perry or a Bing, he has a beautiful Michael Buble velvet voice and is lovely with it.

I love Michael Bublé!

Wasn’t there stuff doing the rounds about domestic abuse? Not sure he is ‘lovely with it’

LlynTegid · 17/12/2023 11:36

Like Celine Dion, talented singer, just singing the wrong songs.

Have you seen the Michael Buble ad. for Asda? It's toe-curling, but a real hoot. A shop window mannequin has more life than Mr Buble (Chez Dora also have a low view of his singing talents - husband calls him Bubble and Squeak).

Show quote history

No evidence of domestic abuse. People were making wild accusations from some videos of him and his wife where he grabbed her but to me they were just bantering and messing about. But somehow people deduced he was definitely abusivefrom this short video.

There was an odd video, yes. Agree, not sure how lovely he is...

Itsmychristmasdress · 17/12/2023 11:38

This is just unnecessarily nasty. I know buble won't read this. But it's just unpleasant. Bo one expects everyone to like every style of music etc but can't you be tolerant of others likes.

Iheartmysmart · 17/12/2023 11:39

Can’t stand the rubber faced twat myself, not his inane warblings.

isthismylifenow · 17/12/2023 11:40

I'd rather listen to him than Mariah's screeches tbh

Whiskeypowers · 17/12/2023 11:45

The songs are abysmal. The Asda adverts are dreadful. There is something about him that makes me feel very uneasy like he’s on the verge of exploding in rage.

lesdeluges · 17/12/2023 11:51

As my mother would have said, "he's too sweet to be wholesome".

Anyway, I'd love you all to have a glance at this clip. It is from outside the swanky BT store on Grafton Street in Dublin. They have Doormen in top hats, ooh la la, and this fella Sean is a great singer. As a Dublin born woman, there is nothing better than Grafton Street at Christmas time. I hope you like it.

Amazing Scenes On Grafton Street As Department Store Doorman (Sean) Steps Out To Perform...

This was filmed today 3rd December 2023 at 2pm outside Brown Thomas Store on Grafton Street. Doorman (Sean Boland) Sean's Instagram... https://instagram.com/...

I make no apologies for repeating I cannot bear Michael Buble's music and I want a lot less. Same goes for Mariah Carey.

This is lovely,great voice👏👏

ginasevern · 17/12/2023 12:59

Buble is too saccharin and wholesome for my liking. He's like something from the 1950's.

@lesdeluges Sean is fantastic, what a treat.

He looked genuinely furious in that clip imo. Far from playful.

janfebmarchapril · 17/12/2023 13:08

I love him at Xmas!

SequinsandStiIettos · 17/12/2023 13:10

Mickey Bubbles (or Mickey Baubles) IS Mr. Christmas.
Not his fault so many me buy his CDS for mothers who won't tell us what they want.

SequinsandStiIettos · 17/12/2023 13:11

You'll be cancelling Michael Ball and Alfie Boe next!! Xmas Wink

He is the singular reason I never set foot in any shops in December, he's easier to avoid at home 🤣
