Should we move all of the discography stuff to the Michael Bublé albums page? 12:41, 7 April 2007 (PST)
Is this the most accurate picture in terms of how Michael himself dresses and portrays himself? He always performs in a suit with a loosened tie. Perhaps we should have a picture of that, or an album cover or something. Travisritch 03:31, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
Just curious, does anyone know which elementary school Michael Bublé went to? Alex Ng 06:16, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
I just deleted the "Michael Buble is hot!!!" comment at the top of the article because I feel it unnecessary data in what is supposed to be an informative piece about Michael Bublé. Whomever wants to post said comment over again on the discussion page is more than welcome to do so, but I feel it'd be a bit gauche appearing on a main article page.

[edit] Dumped by Emily Blunt
Rumor is that Buble got dumped by his girlfriend Emily Blunt, the red-headed co-secretary in the movie, Devil Wears Prada, for the other co-secretary, Anne Hathaway.
Guess the emotional turbulence created by being dumped by a lipstick lesbian will find its way into his music pretty soon.
- Well, there's always been rumors he's gay, so maybe it was just a beard relationship to begin with... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Danflave (talk • contribs) 22:18, 24 January 2007 (UTC).
Can you give the source? Anybody can say "always been rumors" about anything.
This is completely false. I saw Michael and Emily in Toronto this weekend (Jan 28) and they seemed at ease and very happy together. They are both extremely down to earth and do not come off as the usual high-profile couple.
Just because they appear in public as a happy couple doesn't actually mean that they're happy or that they're "together."
This is an encyclopaedic article, not a tabloid. Unless these allegations are confirmed, they are RUMOURS, which have no place here. Salaskan 20:30, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Sorry but rumours exist in almost all the articles of celebrities in Wikipedia, it is only when the rumour has to do with homosexuality that it is taboo. If they can discuss Brad Pitt, Ben Affleck and the others and who their dating or not and why, they can discuss Buble's supposed heterosexuality.
Buble's performances always recongnize he realizes his fan base is almost all woman. With each concert he thanks the boyfriends for giving in and accompanying the girlfriends to see him.
Also the "He needs to lose weight" thing should be mentioned. Buble was sited a lot for being talented, handsome, but could lose a few pounds 4.142.78.130 00:18, 13 September 2007 (UTC)eric

Why is this even a topic here? There is guide line right on the top of this page concerning UNSOURCED info. Read first before you post.

Material such as rumors about relationships does not belong in Wikipedia as per Wikipedia:NOT#NEWS. Specifically, that section covers the fact that Wikipedia is not a tabloid. USS Stingray (talk) 06:59, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Wedding Singer
I removed the words "The Wedding Singer" from the section heading on his "Career Breaktrough." Including the words Wedding Singer in ittalics implied that this was the name of an album, book, or movie with which he is associated, which is not true. 72.85.178.73 05:12, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Timeline discrepancy
The text says that his self-titled album came out in 2000 but the discography has 2003. Corvus cornix 23:32, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] His music
Is it all covers of old songs? Or does he record any new material? It seems from the article that he redoes classic songs, but it's not totally clear. 65.93.223.70 21:00, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- Buble records new songs and redone standards, that is his big critisim, he does an excellent job on new songs but comes off as copying Frank Sinatra on the redone old standards

Can anyone tell me what movie may have used "Home" as an ending song. I seem to recall that, but I can't recall what movie it was?
In the text where it mentions "Let it Snow" it also states that "the title track reached the top 40 of the Australia singles chart, ironically in mid-summer in that country". Since Australia is in the southern hemisphere, mid-summer is the coldest part of the year for them! How is that then ironic?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.77.24.184 (talk) 09:16, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
The hype surrounding this young man is very much undeserved and the comparison to Frank Sinatra is a particular insult to Fra and those established and aspiring jazz vocalists everywhere who really study, live and breathe the genre. While he has a pleasing voice, he has no concept of swing, groove or hipness whatsoever. His album arrangements swing like a brick, then coupled with his inability to communicate a musical idea or feeling. Together, this sound is unbelievably square, like a stale piece of bread. If he really took the music seriously, then he would study the elements of jazz and the jazz idiom itself so that he clearly demostrates that has some knowledge of what he's singing about during performances.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Micaelbublemb.jpg
Image:Micaelbublemb.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Will someone please fix some of the information in this page

[edit] It's Time: Bublé goes mainstream
Most of this section reads like trivia, and none of it is referenced or cited. I am removing most of it per WP:BLP, and we can discuss how to go about putting this information in a better, more verifiable format. -- OranL (talk) 18:28, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] External link to ZotFish?
Hi, I was wondering if it would be appropriate for someone to add an external link to the ZotFish page for Michael Bublé?. I believe it's of genuine interest to readers, but I want to make sure I follow Wikipedia policy and not post it myself -- more info on the site can be found at Mashable.
Zotman (talk) 03:36, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- The site violates WP:ELNO and WP:NOT#REPOSITORY, and it does not enhance the article. It should not be added. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 15:33, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] "Lost" written for?
The article states that Michael Bublé wrote "Lost" because of breaking up with Debbie Timuss, while the article on Lost says, that is was for breaking up with Deanna Perez. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xiborg (talk • contribs) 08:50, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
