I have liked some recordings but do not like to watch him perform. Can't say exactly why. There is just no connection. David, on the other hand.... well I could illuminate NYC with that connection.

I think they could have chosen another artist to add to the mix. Someone who is "different from David" like Springsteen for example, or Timberlake, but not as different as Buble'. I wonder what David thinks of Bruce & Justin cuz they are so huge, or artists like Prince. We know he loves Michael Jackson's music & performances. It's just me that's curious, that's all. The thing that really intrigued me about this interview is David's ability to multitask..He seemed to be reading & texting for a good part of the time, which must have been very distracting to the Snarks. But still answered the questions with thoughtful intelligence. And he thinks he's not cool?? He is cooler than the coolest, hippest 18 year old I have EVER seen.

The same, but different. They just do not move me the way David does. He grabs you at the core and refuses to let you go. And this is at 18. Cannot imagine another 10 years! dawn - yeah, I think the "balladeer" label from AI is one he definitely does not want to be identified with. And yes, his face is kindof like reading an open book, very emotive. I, too, am, as you say, 'stuck'. This is it, from here on out, and I have no intention of releasing myself from its grip. fandaforever -- Me too, I think Buble is very talented, along the lines of Groban. The same, but different.

The covers are emotive R&B, passionate rock, tenderhearted..... Gads, not sure where this is going. Sorry. Back to work. For me, David’s music is soulful pop.

I would never disagree.. My heart is just stuck right now.. and I don't foresee anytime in the near or far future that it may get unstuck. David has ruined all other music for me.. especially when it comes to "vocalists".. as is..Mr. Buble. HOWEVER.. I believe Buble is a balladeer. And I think David not only doesn't LIKE that label...but is working VERY very hard to shed that notion. That may ..in part.. be some of the "look". It hit "something".. nonetheless. It's going to take ALOT of practice for David to effectively "disguise" how he may truly feel about something..because he's easily read. I'm well versed on the many expressions. (as are MOST here in my elite group of jDers.) Like.. at the ending of With You.. on idol.. that look was all about.. yeah.. that kind of sucked..but at least I tried. That's why it's one of my favorites. Awkward..and uncomfortable.. vocally ..nearly perfect.. but endearingly awkward. I'm boycotting David now. I'm feeling very alone now that he's on the other side of the world. I'll bear no picket signs... but I'll protest in silence. Here’s just my take on the Buble thing.. and yes.. he’s very talented..

I have the video - very moving. The difference for me is the VOICE sings with so much emotion. Buble's vid w/o the content & just his singing (and he does have a nice tone to his voice) would be just ok. David moves you with his voice, body & soul. The content would just throw you over the top. Like rascal's vid of SOT. I can barely get through the first 10 sec. without a flood of tears. By the end, I am a total mess & done................ mikesd, emmmiegirl -- I like Buble, esp. his song “Lost”. I have the video -- very moving.

To say that David could be the next Buble, in my opinion is a definite compliment. I think that Michael would think very highly of David (I can't help but believe that Michael is already familiar with his work).
