Being a Mom I know your emotions are mixed.
......Yes...About having a son so adored by
literaly millions of women....There has to be a smile and a concern also....
I know the concern is there...Because you
reminded him regardless of his fame and fortune.
.......He is still the same schmuck he was before all this happened.....I love your attitude.....Is there a boy alive that doesn't
need to be told "Where the bear sleeps" by his Mom?.....
I have pondered over and over what it is
that your son has?
I have already suggested it's that he makes us all feel we are worthy to be loved...
I have already mentioned he makes passionate love to his audience...
But this morning something new came to me....It is deadly hot where I live....The very hottest it has ever been on record....So I'm
laying in my bed trying to find a good enough reason to get up.....And looking at my Fan turn the air and making it move!

The thought came to me.....Even in a hot
department store if the air moves you can deal with it...
My next thought.....Could this possibly be
what Michael does to us?
To the best of us our life does get stuffy
.......Even at the best of times.....
I believe this is exactly what Michael has done to us.....He has stirred something inside of us that hasn't moved for a while and has not
only lit the flame but caused a "Combustible
Explosion".....Yes!..Similar to the Olympic
Torch that will not be going out any time soon.
We have fallen in love with the excitement
of LOVE.....Call it Hope!....Call it whatever..
Michael has turned out to be the greatest
salesman in the entire world......
He stands up there every night and sells
as only he can....The Power of Love.....And we
have all bought it.....What's more.....We love
it and never want to be without it...
I guess I can say he has stirred up the pot
within us.....Does that sound right?
We are all born with love.....Could you have ever known that Michael would be such a good pot stirrer?

One more thing....When David Foster said..
........."There is no romance in music any more"
There is definitely a void there.....I think
Michael can fill that void........Man were there ever truer words spoken?

He had the message....the Messenger.....
And the one that could deliver the message!

It was a "Go" from the beginning.....

"Chinaman say....Granmas velly smaht
live velly much deys to be velly smaht"


I didn't say that...Chinaman did.....

Just a granma and luvin it!

P.S. In reading this over.....Just one more
thing.....What Michael has brought to life
within us...is "Huge"......
He turned on the fan and made things move....Will he ever know how many lives he has touched and how many broken hearts he has
rescued?....And he has brought a breath of fresh air which probably is the most priceless thing of all....to a world that is choking with the smoke of hate...
Please tell Michael "We adore his breath
of fresh air".....And could we please have a little more......This way!...Please!.....
We want more in AMER-EE-Cah!....

I promise this will be the last...But you deserve to know how your boy has touched us...

Love Ya!

Irene, you just blow me away. I heard his voice and my life changed. I felt like I was going thru the motions and then Michael came along. I wake up excited with more energy than women half my age. His music just does it for me. Every day I must have my fix. Thanks for your posts

[Porschej]

Irene, I have to totally agree with you. I think I said in another post that my life has changed alot since I first heard Michael sing. Things within me have changed even more after seeing Michael live. He really makes you feel like you are important as a person and as a fan. I know artists say there fans are important, but Michael has a way to make you feel important. Whether it's from his music, his humor or the interaction and eye contact with the audience..it all feels genuine. That is during the show. Meeting him in person...even for a minute or two..he also has a way to make you feel special or important..even if you don't think you are. BTW, I thought it was great he was carrying his own luggage out to the bus. It's something small, but I think it says he is still grounded.

I don't think I said that the way I wanted, but I think you can understand what I mean.

Ok, I need to sign off now..I think I am going to get emotional!

[irene hope]

Jenn........I love to hear your posts and
anything you have to say......especially when you post to me......Then I kinda feel I have
permission to post back.....

It's funny that you mention about carrying
his own luggage......I remember him saying....
Now I'm not sure where but he said....He had
washed his socks and laid them out on the floor.......
It was in a much earlier time....probably when he first started on tour.....But I thought then that you can take the boy away.....But you can't take away the boy.....I just think he's a down to earth kinda kid......

Remember when they wanted him to pick out a car for him to drive?.........And he asked
which was the cheapest?.............Then he said....."I'll take that"!

I don't think he's caught up in the fancies......I think he's really trying to
establish a base.....That will carry him...
And then he'll probably have a family and make records ...I mean CD's.....

I also remember him saying.....He wanted to help his sisters {and family} get homes.....
I have a very good memory .....I think I remember everything he has ever said......
Sorry Michael......I never had any brothers
.........But how great to have a bro like you?

Lucky sisters.....And he has said many
times how beautiful you both are......And how much he loves you......He couldn't possibly
have so much love to give .....If it weren't already in him!........
And to Amber.....A boy gets his first image
and most impressionable image of women from his
Mom..........
Michael from his own mouth has said...."He is completely fascinated by women"...
And Michael does not have a forked tongue......
This leaves me in awe......Wouldn't we
all like to know just exactly how to raise a boy
with enough love inside of him for not only to
idolize his mom but make millions of women all over the world feel he has enough love for them
too?

What can I say?.......

Fantastic for you Mom Buble.......
And to Jenn I didn't mean to ramble off but
just thought I'd chat a bit.....

.......To Mom Amber Buble'....You have done one heck of a job with your Boy.....He loves you and
......He seems to love the world.....And it
appears as though he has never been happier....
But if I know you like I think I know you........You take very little of the credit
.......That's the way good Moms are......

........Thanks for postin me Jenn.....I got to
toss a few percs to a Mom we all have to adore!

Just a granma and lovin it!

I read this thread and I was moved to post. Irene, you have said what we all have been feeling. I was already drawn to the music that Michael performs, but what drew me to Michael was his humanity. He maintains his humanity and shares this - possibly without even realizing it. He reaches out to people in the most endearing and genuine ways.
I will share an experience that I witnessed; though I am leary about sharing this as I feel that it is not mine to share. It felt like I was witnessing a personal experience between Michael and one of his fans... but it is a testament to Michael and so I will post in any case.
After a show, when Michael walked out to greet his fans (he was evidently exhausted) he stood for over an hour signing and hugging fans. There was a woman escorted by two family members and my friend and I directed them up towards Michael. The family members informed Michael that the woman was blind and that she would recognize him by his voice. Michael took her hands and asked how she would know what he looks like. He spoke gently to her then took her hands and put them on his face and laughed and joked about the features of his face as her fingers glided over his nose and lips. It was one of the most tender moments I have witnessed..(I do have some experience working with sensory impaired individuals - and this gesture is one of the most intimate forms of connection) I know that no one here is surprised by it.. nor am I, but it was still a sweet moment and I felt special to be able to witness it.

Mom Buble - thank you for allowing us all to share these little moments with your son; Michael is undoubtedly a talented entertainer, but more importantly, he is a remarkable individual with a noble heart. Thank you.
Shelley

Shelley - I have a lump in my throat just reading this. Many people in Michael's situation would be caught off guard and wouldn't know what to do (that would be me!!). Instead it appears that he didn't think twice about it. He knew how to share the gift of sight. He made that fan feel included in every aspect of him - visual and auditory. It's stories like these that keep re-affirming what I've felt a long time now.....Michael (and his family!) just make me want to be a better person.

[irene hope]

Shelley..........What an honor that you felt impressed to mention your beautiful experience in a reply to me......

I am truly touched......It's hard to imagine that when Michael has so many things
going for him publicly and for us all to see...
.......That there is something inside that even
may take on a deeper meaning than what is so obvious to us all.........

When you hear fans say how sweet and kind
he is to them......It's not an act.........He
really is that kinda guy!

Amazing!......Beautiful story and I can't thank you enough for sharing it......To me ...These are the kinda stories that make
people want to be better.....Improve the quality
of their life......And here its our very own
Michael that was the "Good Samaritan".......
........What Michael did in this little story
.......Was an act of love.....A natural reaction
where he didn't have time to analyze it.....He
reacted to it......That's what made it so pure
and real.....and precious.....

I hope you are listening Mom Amber.....We
are speaking of your son.......You remember the one you called a schmuck?..........
I'm sure Michael has jabbed you a time or
two!.......That's what people do when they love
each other......Their love only intensifies as
they lick their wounds......Have plenty of
band-aids......Learn to bounce.....
Believe it or not......I think we have a real family here!.....Only to prove great and
wonderful things can happen to anybody......It
all depends on the size of the heart........
Do we have any doubt Michaels heart is ...
gigantic?....or should I say enormous?.....
or should I say sweet and tender?

It's all in what we choose to see....
Thanks again!.....Shelley......You were
inspired to share that with us.......

Just a granma and lovin it!

[Josephine]

Oh, all you people, what BEAUTIFUL posts. You said in wonderful ways what we all feel about Michael and his family. You all are great at expressing your thoughts!!! THANK YOU very much! I'm glad I had a box of Kleenex handy.

Take care all!
Jo

[luvbuble]

WOW!! Just in reading that, I'm speechless, and trust me, that NEVER happens!! It's like you are living in my head, (and heart), when you talk about Michael. I have tried to describe him and how he makes us all feel to people who have never heard of him and it seems I can never come up with the right words. It's kind of like, "here, listen for yourself and tell me how you feel afterwards!" Thank you so much for reaching into us all and putting our feelings about Michael into "the most perfect description of the most perfect person."

Mom Buble...You must be so proud!! Of both Michael, and yourself!! He couldn't have turned out any better! I honestly was starting to believe that maybe love was 'overrated', but since listening to Michael and hearing him talk about his family, I know now that I was VERY wrong!

Much love!!!

[madame buble]

For goodness sake, I'm crying. My mother was blind and that is what she used to do. Michael did that? The man is so human. I hope nothing ever changes him. Thanks to Michael's family.--------- Luvbuble I have tried to explain Michael to other people and become a blithering idiot.

[luvbuble]

MadameBuble...Oh geez, I thought it was just me. I used to think I was much more articulate than I seem to be when I talk about Michael. I'm 26 years old, but when he comes up I become a goofy 12 year old girl!!

[irene hope]

Shelley.......Was this incident at the Paramount Theatre...In Denver?

Please reply back!

[Shelley]

No, it was in Greensboro, NC. What he did in that moment just affirmed how much I adore him as an individual.

[irene hope]

Shelley.......Thanks for replying.....I remembered a similar thing happening in Denver
........That I witnessed and I just had to know if I had actually seen what you were describing.
.......This person was in a wheelchair too and they were taking her to Michael.....

Thanks Shelley!....It was awesome yesterday
and its still as awesome today!!!....Great story!

Just a granma and lovin it!

[Mom Bublé]

How does one reply to all the love and warmth that is flowing from these incredible moving posts???? You all make us feel so wonderful, and you have once again moved me to tears!!!!!
I can't tell you enough, how we are so blessed that through this wonderful music Michael sings, he has brought us such beautiful friends and fans, from all over the world, how cool is that!!!!..... As I have said over and over...... you are all the best there is...... and that is why we love you all so much!!! Yes, I am proud of Michael, as I am of all my children, they are all so special, but I just want you all to know, that I am also proud of all of you, because of that something "special" that you have brought to us...also the energy, love and total support you give to Michael when he is on and off stage, and the way you all have become like a family with each other!!! With this board, and through all of you, I find out what Michael is doing each day, and it brings me closer to him when he is away,(which is always it seems). I love reading about everyones concert stories, reviews, and the funny things that happen to some of you before or after you go to the concerts!!
Anyway, I just felt that I needed to tell you all how we feel, it's the Buble's that want to thank you, because you have no idea how much you have given to us......God Bless you all....take care.....love as always, dear friends......Amber

[Porschej]

well said Karen! I am proud to be part of this Bublé family. Thank you Amber for your kind thoughts.

[iambackhome]

thank you very much again, irene!

please do me a favour: please collect and save your posts somewhere, irene. a collection of your posts would be a wonderful thing.

everytime i think you use the perfect words to describe something that most of us feel but are not able to express it in such a wonderful and felicitous way and everytime i think you cannot touch me more with a post you prove me wrong with your next post.

i hope you will never stop posting on this board.

thank you very much too, amber! it was said in another post that michael has the gift to make people in the audience and everyone he meets feel special. he can only do that because you made him feel very special and he is now able to pass that on.

i totally agree with you, karen! i am glad i found this board and can be part of something so marvelous and moving.
