Michael Buble will be crooning some of your favorite Christmas tunes when his 3rd Annual Christmas Special airs on Wednesday, December 18th at 10:00 PM Eastern on NBC – the network that loves to bring you musical entertainment galore during the month of December and more.
I love Michael’s brand of entertainment so much. It is part retro, part current, part cheesy, part sophisticated. He is a bundle of charm and talent and so necessary in today’s music industry.
Only one snag from a vocal technical standpoint – he drops the endings of his phrases and, occasionally, his words. Drives me crazy.
For example – “Have a Holleh, Jolleh Christma”! Oy vey! Stop the madness, Mr. Buble. You can articulate better than this!
At any rate, his voice is golden and his personality a marketer’s dream – which is why he has evolved into such a success story.
Scheduled to perform with him are Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige and, last but certainly not least, Cookie Monster. Together they will treat us to “The Christmas Song,” “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” and “Let It Snow.” Plus a lot of fun in between.
The special comes from Chanci Ventures Inc; Bruce Allen is executive producer and John Pantages is producer with Brad Lachman directing.
Are you planning to watch the show? Well, please come back and express your impressions in the comments section. Or you can get the party rolling now. Let’s hear from you MB fans!!
Do you happen to know if this is the same production team that did his special last year?
I was not happy to see that the whole show was lip synced. This guy can sing. He can sing live. He can sing duets. He can sing and move at the same time. The only reason left is a cheap and easy production with a follow up CD.
If the singing contests can take a chance on armatures performing live and recording their downloadable tracks at a separate time in the studio, I believe the “Bubble Boy” should be treated at least as good.
But yeah, other than that, I’m looking forward to watching it. 😉

The Sing-Off’s finale (on NOW!) may be the best Christmas show of the season.
