All I Want For Christmas is Buble
Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so
delightful, and since we’ve no place to go, let us listen to Christmas music!
You turn on the TV, the radio, or even step into a mall, and you know the
holiday season has arrived. It is a time for Christmas music, and it’s the time
for Christmas CD’s.
Michael Buble,
who is one of my favorite singers, came out with a new Christmas album, and I
believe it is fantastic. Here’s his rendition of “Santa Clause Is Coming To
Town:”
What did you think? His jazzy sound just melts my heart. His
voice gives traditional Christmas music something extra.
The album begins with “It’s
beginning to look a lot like Christmas,” where he keeps it simple and
sticks to the traditional version. It’s a great rendition and tells the
listener they are about to embark on a musical Christmas journey.
In this album, Michael Buble has three duets, one with the Puppini Sisters, another with Shania Twain, and finally a bi-lingual
duet with Thalia. “Jingle Bells” with the Puppini Sisters
is fun and lighthearted. His duet with Shania Twain gives the song “White Christmas” a bit of a jazz country
fusion mix. Michael Buble shows that he can sing in Spanish during his duet
with Thalia for “Mis Deseos/Feliz Navidad.”
I know many people are very excited over Justin Bieber’s new version of
Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas
Is You,” but not me. I love Michael’s
version. It’s slow and seductive. It is as if he was whispering in the ear of
the person he loves and letting them know how much he needs them.
I will have to say that my favorite song on this album is “Santa Baby.” Normally this song is sung
by a woman in a flirtatious/sexy way. Michael Buble changed it up. He made it
seem as if he was asking his buddy Santa for some pretty great gifts. Women are
not the only ones that one expensive gifts for Christmas! If you have to choose
just one Christmas album to listen to I recommend is Michael Buble’s “Christmas”
album.
