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.

I love him at Xmas!

I'd love him if he took a one-way ticket to the moon.

I was greeted by the sound of MB when I walked into the supermarket this morning. I didn't mind Wombling Merry Christmas as I've not heard it for years. Then came that ruddy Andy Williams song. It must have made a fortune for his estate but I lost some respect for his memory when I realised it was him😉.

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.

What a beautiful voice he has.

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.

I haven't misunderstood. I'm not saying he isn't abusive. He may be abusive, he may not. But you can't look at that one video and conclude yes he's definitely an abuser. No one but them know what the truth is behind their relationship.

There are not enough hours in my life to check whether there are any rumours circulating which may suggest an artist was not a thoroughly good egg before I add their song to my Christmas playlist.

In fact looking at my playlist, I'd probably be only left with Bing Crosby and Abba.

I'd rather listen to him than that absolute shite the Pogues sing

Insidious abusive behaviour can be hard to spot but the body language in the video, especially that of his wife, gives it away. And the look on his face.

Abusers often present a charming, likeable persona in public, but what goes on behind closed doors is another matter.

glad his son beat cancer
I think we can safely say we're all pleased about that. Doesn't make his father any less of an abusive arse

stepintochristmas1 · 18/12/2023 17:09

He fits into that category of ' housewives favourite ' or as my husband calls them 'blue rinse brigade ' . I kind of like him Blush .

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.

I’m the same. I used to really like him, but I saw a number of those videos and they made me feel uncomfortable. It all went quite fairly quickly, in my opinion, so the lawyers must have been working overtime to ensure his image wasn’t tarnished.
