Michael Buble Isn’t Surprised at Success
There has been a lot of talk about Michael Buble as of late. At the recent Juno awards he took home a number of the ones he had been nominated for. This came in the middle of his world wide tour that started last March and is set to continue on until sometime next year. However, he says that he didn’t really want to sing the songs that he put into his last album, not because they were bad, but because they were showing off the true him inside at that moment. It was a moment of complete openness with his audience, and while it didn’t take away the pains of the break up, it somehow made it a little less. He had a lot more to say as well, and some of it can be found here.

Although it will be short, the tickets have been flying off the shelf since they went on sale, so if you want to see him, you are going to have to act fast.
