This guy did a great job on Saturday Night Live but not during his performance. Rather in a comedic spoof of duets in which Lady Gaga was a moving tree. Pretty funny stuff. Apparently the ‘Just Havent Met You Yet’ Canadian crooner has an interesting (if not self depreciating) view of himself.
He wants to be remembered for his Christmas songs.
Say what? 364 other days in the year and this cat wants to be the next Bing Crosby. I figure Buble’ is a lot like Harry Connick Jr, in that they both ripped off the old school swag of the likes of Sinatra and modernized it just a tiny bit. Buble’ is engaging enough but not cute enough to pull it off so perhaps he can be an Andy Williams or Crosby, who were known most for their Christmas songs.
'Artists mostly don't care about Christmas records. They just put it together and put it out there because they know it will sell,' he told BBC Radio One.
'Me, I really cared; I took six months to make it. Christmas music is the reason I started singing. Bing Crosby is one of the first albums I heard. I didn't want to make a Christmas record; I wanted to make the Christmas record. As an artist you want to make an impact, a legacy. These days you make an impact through sex tapes and cocaine and I wanted this to be my impact. But this will probably all fade out with my hookers and cocaine bust…'
Ah, a funny guy no less and heres one last corny quote to complete that holiday feel good
'Christmas is all about warmth and love and people are kinder to each other and you get to eat and drink a little more. It's about family, about being home with the people you love. There's presents, Santa Claus…' he listed.
'Isn't it amazing this person [Santa] we end up idolising is scaring the hell out of us? It's this big bearded man. When I first saw him I was like, 'What did I do wrong?''
The Album "Christmas" has been re released with an additional bonus track… oh Lordy…
