I've heard so much about Michael Buble, but when I finally got to hear him on SNL, I have to say I was sorely disappointed. It looked to me as if he had not rehearsed, or felt extremely nervous for some reason. He kept fumbling with the standup mike in the most peculiar manner.
Hubby heard him from the next room and said it sounded like the "Rat Pack" had returned. Buble does sing in a retro style reminiscent of Tony Bennett, Sinatra, Martin, etc. I guess I just didn't care for it myself, but I know he's hugely popular.
I wonder if there will be any Christmas music on the X Factor tonight? I would love to hear Josh Krajcik sing an old-fashioned carol in that throaty voice of his.
If I could afford it, I'd buy Christmas music by Josh Groban. I've always sort of known he was a great vocalist, but I've been checking him out on Youtube and I'm a solid fan.
I fondly remember the "good old days," when hubby and I went to the New Orleans Sumphony's performance of "The Messiah" each year. There are no words adequate to describe the feel of the Orpheum Theater, packed with music afficianados and fur-clad social butterflies, listening to the chorus trilling through "For unto us a child is born." We were fortunate to hear the contata sung by an excellent choral group. There is no better way to cap off a holiday season.
