I am enjoying his programme on BBC1. His voice has matured beautifully and he seems such a nice young man.

I enjoyed it too, jane. I love his voice.

Yes Jane10 I watched him too. Amazing voice. Brought back such lovely memories of my grandad singing the "crooner" standards. happy days . smile

Such a nice man, amazing voice. I can't believe he's 41, he has a beautiful wife and 2 adorable sons. I'd love to see him live, I hope he does have a UK tour planned.

Did anyone have any sound issues during the talking bits? My Sound was fine when MB was singing (thank goodness) but there seemed to be a distinct hiss in the back ground during the interview with CW.

Seemed OK to me although I almost wish I hadn't heard all that guff about audiences being family not fans. Also pigeon holing them as 'blue collar' workers seemed to me to be potentially excluding a lot of other people. Maybe its a north American thing. Just wish he hadn't gone on about it.

I've recorded it, looking forward to watching

That bit had me shouting, 'Get over yourself' at the telly, Jane10. I don't actually like these shows where talent is at risk of being swept under an ego. I like to hear Michael Bublé sing - especially at Christmas.

I've recorded it too. I love Michael Buble smile

What a voice! I love him to bits. But, yes, the fan/family stuff made me want to throw up in a bucket...
Nevertheless, I think he is one of the world's greatest voices, and a lovely young man.

Agree with the last few posters, he has a great voice, and we saw some of the show, not great, best just to listen to his music in future.

I've just seen that jordana sad They are going to need all the strength they can muster.

How awful!

ninathenana Fri 04-Nov-16 16:50:13

Oh no, I've just read an article in a magazine where he talks so lovingly about his children. Devastating for any parent especially of one so young.

Also the chef Jean Christophe Novelli's 8 week old son diagnosed with cancer on the same day as Michael Buble's son. Bloody cancer.

Jane10 Fri 04-Nov-16 19:22:59

Sigh. So sad. Poor parents (of all children with this cruel disease)

henetha Sat 05-Nov-16 10:45:36

I felt sick when I read this, so soon after enjoying his lovely concert on BBC this week. Michael's love for his family came over very strongly . I feel desperately sorry for them, and for all families who have to endure these tragic events.

DaphneBroon Sat 05-Nov-16 11:24:42

I am so sad for them and pray that all will yet be well.
As mothers and grandmothers we can really feel for them can't we sad

KatyK Sat 05-Nov-16 12:12:05

I really feel for them. We had a child die of cancer in our family (my much loved nephew, 16). They will now be plunged into a world they will never have dreamed they would be in. I wish them and everyone going through this, all the luck in the world.
