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.

He's probably not keen on you either.

Why is it nowadays that if people don't like something they feel the need to shout it to the world, and in some instances be very rude about it? He's an artist. You don't like how art. End of. No need to be so childish and rude.

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

Nobody will be Frank, but he is an extremely good singer all the same. Better than people give him credit for.

I find him really creepy.

Love a bit of Mr Buble at Christmas time 💕

Funderthighs · 17/12/2023 13:14

I’m not really a fan but I do like a bit of Buble at Christmas 🎄

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.

Fair enough, he seems nice. But I wouldn’t buy his album

shearwater2 · 17/12/2023 13:16

I really like his versions of Holly Jolly Christmas and It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas. He has a good voice with a nice rich tone to it.

FourFourOne · 17/12/2023 13:20

I haven’t been able to view him the same way since those odd videos with his wife. Am personally quite tired of him being wheeled out every Christmas. Much better songs and singers out there.

ThePoshUns · 17/12/2023 13:21

Don't be silly. He's a lovely guy with a great voice and can laugh at himself.

iklboo · 17/12/2023 13:23

We call him Mikey Bubbles - in a Sooranos style gangster voice. There's a lot worse music out there. At least he leans into his cheese & doesn't pretend he's the dog's cogs.

HoldingTheDoor · 17/12/2023 13:24

I watched that clip again. He still looks like a very aggressive and unpleasant man there imo.

ToBeOrNotToBee · 17/12/2023 13:25

There is something very off with that man

DurhamDurham · 17/12/2023 13:27

He always sounds like he has a bad cold when he sings. I can't listen to his songs without thinking of a very blocked nose. Someone should give him a hankie!

Tibbb · 17/12/2023 13:36

I can't stand him or his music but DH loves his music, so inevitably I have to endure it at some point over Christmas 😬

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.

I am in bed with the lurgy, and that has made me bone achingly homesick.

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.

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

No he really didn't.But even if was annoyed about something it doesn't make him an abuser and for people to make that assumption from one clip is ridiculous.

But where would Mumsnet be then? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Justme10 · 17/12/2023 13:49

I love him all the year through!
Very talented singer and songwriter in my opinion.

I think it's a shame that so many people only associate him with Christmas.

Aw I know how you feel, but it shows we have real hearts! Hope you feel better soon Flowers

Brendabigbaps · 17/12/2023 13:52

I love buble. I hate his Asda adverts, he’s sold out!

HoldingTheDoor · 17/12/2023 13:54

He’s admitted that he has major anger issues.

He tells Britain's Event magazine, "I think I'm a kind, generous, gentle soul who's an egotistical, hard f..king asshole… I was prone to violence as a kid, and I'll tell you now, I'm not a big man - I'm about 5 foot 10 inches and weigh about 160 pounds - but I could do it again, and probably will.
"And shouldn't and have every reason not to and everything to lose - but probably will do it again."
The singer adds, "I just don't have a filter. I just don't. It makes me angry to even think about diverting myself from something that I need to say."

xogossipgirlxo · 17/12/2023 13:58

I can’t listen to him since watching him and his wife in these lockdown videos. He treats her like garbage

Well that ok then! He’s got anger issues and child issues and is working on it.

Let’s rephrase this I have millions to get therapy, I am nearly 6 ft and have violent tendencies so o don’t drink and stay out of relationships as I’m not safe with anyone.

I had a big crush on him when I was about 12/13 and bought one of his albums. Cringe.
