I listened to some of his songs on the radio, maybe a couple of years ago now... never knew who the singer was... One day, months ago, I was really bored and chatting with a friend on MSN... bored as I was she suggested me to watch a very funny video on youtube, she gave me the link and there he was... Mr. Bublé in a very funny interview (I still didn't know who he was)... I just couldn't believe his great sense of humor, such a cool, funny, clever guy (and yes... very handsome too! ) Thing is I started watching more interviews and videos and then I realized he was the one singing those songs I adored... my goodness, I couldn't help falling in love right away.... Best of all is this, the more I get to know him, the more I love him... not just the great singer and entertainer he is but also his great personality, humor, kindness, honesty, etc etc
Such a pleasure to be one of his fans and admire not only the artist but the person...
Best wishes!!!

The first time I became a Michael Buble fan was when I first heard his song "Everything" on VH1, and I looked him up on youtube, and I couldn't get enough! He's a great entertainer/performer.

[CurseTen]

I discovered him at band camp this summer. We were chilling in the band room waiting for everybody to show up, and my band major plugged her iPod into the big stereo. The first song that came on was "Feeling Good". I basically died. I'm completely into that old jazzy kind of music, especially Benny Goodman who is my hero! The second song that played was "Sway", and that is now my all time favourite song in the world!
After that, I bought the two songs from iTunes, and listened to them non-stop. Now I own all three of his major CD's, and am currently trying to get my hands on his Babalu CD.

And I'm literally dying to see him live! The MSG show would be my absolute goal if I didn't have a dance competition the next day =( and if I didn't live on the other side of the Country. Ha!

Hugs,,

Hi CurseTen,
Welcome to you!
What part of Colorado are you from?
I have a brother in Colorado.
Good to hear your starting to really enjoy Michael. You will be hooked
for sure. When you see him live, you will be touched by him and you
will know he is like no other.

[anneloevsMB]

It was because of the song "Everything"
i was watching MTV with my bestfriend then we saw it.
I eventually LOVED it
even my bestfriend liked it too.
that's when I start my obsession
i tried to searched for his youtube and accounts all over the internet ....
I bought albums of him,
Come fly with me, It's Time and Call Me Irresponsible...(the three albums are the ones available here..)
i'm searching for the other albums..... i can't seem to find the others
i think it's not available here in our country...
I couldn't get enough!
I collected some of his pics
even made a poem for him.

[bottsbuble]

hey all-was wondering the moment, song or event that got you hooked

my story a bit vague but to the best of my recall goes like this................

was about 5 months pregant to my second son ( in 2004) with a son already at home (they are 18 months apart) i believe i heard home on the radio. I eventually heard it again and that it was by michael buble. love it each time.
for mother's day i asked for his album..........my husband got me both albums that were out and i played them and danced my 1st son around on my big belly.
the next mothers day i got the third album that was out CMI.
my kids dance and sing to michael-even the baby whos is now 17 months, and my older boys are 5 1/2 and 4

had missed a show because my pregancy was a bit too far along to travel to NJ or CT
Missed the 1st round of CMI show cause by then i was pregnant to my 3rd son (2007)- he was due on Aug 4th, the day michael would be in my area (ny)

after our third was born-i got tkts to see him at teh WaMu theatre in NYC, (my son was about 8 wks old and got 2 babysitters to watch my kids since the new baby was so small and thye al needed dinner and pjs and to be put to bed-god bless my sister and my teeneage sitter)
well then he was goingto mohegan sun (april 08) got my tkts from a guy on craigslist-mailed cash and hoped i would get the tkts and that it wasn't a scam....it was a great show!
went to mohegan sun again on 12/3 and was suprised with a set of tkts from husband to see him on 12/5 at MSG

i guess you could say "he had me at home"!! (hahahaha like from jerry mcquire she had me at hello)

can't wait to hear your story

[sdijker]

I'm really a pretty new Michael fan. I've been aware of him...and loved his songs (the ones that made it on radio here, Everything, Lost, Home, etc.) but really didn't find out who sand them. I have been a Grobanite since the Ally McBeal days. I was surfing youtube.com for Groban video's and I found clips of the times that Josh Groban appeared during Michael's 'Caught in the Act' PBS special and they were so fun. I checked out some more of his video's and I was hooked. To be honest he is the only musician that I like that I like as much when he talks as when he sings! He was so funny, modest, self-deprecating, slightly lewd, hockey-odessessed, like he could have been any of the guys that I grew up with...only a fabulous singer. I think that since I became a fan this summer I have seen every interview that is available to watch online. I haven't been able to see a show yet but I want to take this time to thank any of you fans that post video footage of the concerts that you have been to. I have watched insane numbers of them. I have become more than slightly obsessed. I am annoying friends and family with how much I play him. But I can't help it...I am in my last year of nursing school (so stressful!) and nothing soothes me like Michael's voice! I realize sometimes that I ame listening to much and try to listen to someone else...then halfway through another song i think to myself "You know what I really want to listen to...(Insert various Michael Buble songs here)" I might as well take every other artist off my Ipod for a while. lol

Since becoming a fan I have bought:
1. Micheal Buble
2. It's Time
3. Caught in the Act
4. Call Me Irresponsible
5. Let It Snow EP
Which is quite a lot since I don't have a lot of money as a student with debt up to her eyeballs.

i remember reading a very, very short article in a german magazine in 2005 when his 2nd album came out...also, there was a tiny picture of him, and i thought...that doesn't fit singing standards and him being soo young! my mum also read the article and both liking the style of music we talked about buying the cd but later forgot about it again. a few weeks later michael appeared in the german tv show tvtotal...he was soooo funny, totaly different from what i had in mind from the short article...talked about puking into leonardo dicaprio's pool...(if you don't know it, it's probably on youtube...it's worth watching!) then he started singing and my mum and i were awestruck!!!
well, my mum got the it's time cd for mothersday (perfect gift isn't it ). again a few weeks later my mum told me that mb will be touring germany later that year. you have to know that my mum is sooo not the type to go to a concert..too expensive, too crowded...her birthday was in september, so i told her be careful what you wish for, it might come true!!
and so i got us tickets for his 2005 tour. it was AWESOME...my mum loved it, and i was hocked too!

so, i guess thanks mum...

I first heard Everything on the radio a few months ago, maybe a year. Some how, it got stuck in my head in mid October, so I looked it up on you tube until I finally found the right video. After downloading it, I started downloading some of his other songs, which after listening to, I was hooked.

I know exactly when it was.
In 2004 when i saw Michael on the Royal Variety Performance, i Thought he was so amazing and so hot (hehehe) i and bought his cd the next day!

I love reading all of the stories about how you came to be a Bublé fan - some of them remind me of my own experience. (It's a bit long, and it involves a lot of head-smacking in hindsight, but it's all worth it in the long run...)

A few years back (I'd say it was 2007. but I honestly can't remember) my family and I went to Best Buy to get some info on laptops. As we were leaving the store we saw a really awesome big screen LCD TV - and because we were planning on eventually buying one, we decided to go to the TV section instead. Well, the TVs were playing a concert of some guy that neither of us knew, but my Mom and I were just mesmerized. Girls were cheering for him in the audience, he sang beautifully, and we had no clue who he was. My My and I asked one of the Best Buy workers who was singing and the guy didn't know... so, we eventually had to leave, and I never knew who we had seen on TV (*smacks self on the head* why wasn't I more persistent?).

Flash forward a few months, and I'm at a different store (I think it was Walmart, but that's neither here nor there), looking at the CDs, and I see Michael Bublé's CD. I tell my Mom that I think he's the guy we saw on TV at Best Buy, but there was no way to confirm it, of course - I am so sure it was him - but because we weren't sure, we didn't get his CD at that time (*smacks self on the head*).

Flash forward once again, and well, I work at the local PBS affiliate in my town, and on the first or second night of our winter membership drive, we aired "David Foster: Hitman" - this was only about a month ago... Now, I knew David Foster's name, I knew about Celine Dion, Andrea Bocelli, Babyface, Michael Johns... and even Blake Shelton. I like country music, and I'm always looking at the CMT channel. I happened to see Blake Shelton's video for "Home" prior to the airing of this program. So I'm busy working, but during a break, I got to watch a bit of the the show, and Blake Shelton surprises everyone and sings "Home" with Bublé - I stopped to listen first because Bublé was being goofy and singing in a "country" voice, and then I continued watching because I knew Shelton's version of the song. Needless to say, I really enjoyed the performance.

Then about a week later, as I was listening to my Pandora radio, and due to my music preferences, Blake Shelton's version of "Home" played, and I remembered the PBS special.... I was so excited about the song that I went on YouTube and specifically looked for the "Hitman" performance. I once again enjoyed the song - and was surprisingly hungry for more Michael Bublé - his voice is just beautiful - so I clicked on the link for his performance of "Feeling Good," which I somehow missed that night (*smacks self on the head*) and fell in love right then and there.

After that, I had to know more about him, I had to see interviews, listen to other songs - YouTube became my new best friend in a matter of a weeks. I haven't seen everything, but I later talked to my friend from work who apparently was a fan all along, but never mentioned it, and she told me that he had come to Arizona earlier last year (I checked on this site - it was in March of 2008) - not just in Phoenix, but in my town of Tucson (big acts seldom come to Tucson - it is so rare)! (*ugh! smacks self on the head!!). How could I have missed such great music? ... and to add insult to injury, on one of the days I was channel surfing and watching CMT, I landed on VH1 and a Michael Bublé video was starting (which I now know was for "Everything") and I changed the channel to watch something else! ...but in my defense, I had no idea what I was missing. I am such a huge fan of his now. I think I've heard something by him everyday for the past week. I keep thinking I'm going to annoy myself silly because I've heard the same songs over and over again so many times, but I can't help it, every time he sings "Feeling Good," my heart flutters and I just can't look away. He's amazing and I can't wait to own his music. Just about two years ago, he was a face and name I thought I liked - but wasn't sure - to a guy that I can't get out of mind in just a matter of weeks. My head hurts a little, but I think it's safe to say I learned my lesson.

[/end rant] Sorry if this make absolutely no sense. I just had to get this story out of my system! I feel good, now... LoL

I'd be careful about claiming an affair with him. Them's FIGHTING words on the board here. Just kidding.

I think that we are all considered NERDS to a certain extent for liking MB as much as we do. I am 23 and I still think that my friends think that it is slightly nerdy to like MB as much as I do...and I'm not even having and affair!

But I'd rather be considered a Buble Nerd than listen to most of the pop music there is out there right now. I like it for casual listening occasionally but you just know that barely any of it will stand the test of time.
