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.
