Title: Boy is this generic.
Product review: Does he have a pleasant voice? Sure. But while Mr. Buble can carry a tune, he is completely void of any CHARACTER! What made Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. etc so popular is that they performed these songs with thier own style. Each sounded different from the others without stepping on anybody elses toes. Michael Buble gives sterile, boring renditions of these timelss classics. On "Nice and Easy" he's anything but. Good lord boy, stop trying to crisply enunciate every single syllable! It's nice and easy, sing it that way. If you've never spent any time listening to these classics, it's an ok starter album, but I would bet that any long tiime Sinatra listener won't give this much of a listen. If the Josh Groban sheep think that this is torch music, that's a sad state of music knowledge these days. Do yourself a favor and buy "In the Wee Small Hours" and hear a true master at work, one who sings from his heart and not from a production board.
