Michael Buble and hob-nobbing with Canadian celebrities
On Saturday night me and some friends took the ferry to Vancouver to see Michael Buble in concert. We had a nice dinner in downtown Vancouver, and then headed to GM Place for the concert.
It was fantastic. He can really sing, and he’s entertaining! Surprisingly entertaining. I had expected him to basically sing for the entire time and not really have that much to say, but he was funny and quirky and the show was worth every penny I spent on it.
He was also incredibly gracious. He jumped off the stage to have his picture taken with a little 8 year old girl in the second row, and when another fan rushed the stage and security went to stop her, he said “no, no, let her take the picture – wait! I’ll pose!”. When he jumped off the stage I said to my friend that it was amazing to me that no one was mobbing him – that’s Canadians for you!
Plus he could make fun of himself. He commented on the fact that he knew that there were many men there that night who didn’t want to be there but he assured them that it would be worth their while considering they were all going to get lucky that night 
.
We were feeling a little sheepish about seeing Michael Buble to begin with. A lot of folks would mock us (to my surprise, actually, because I think he’s a fantastic singer and who doesn’t like a little old school crooning from time to time?!) but in the end, I think they missed out!
On the ferry ride home we were hob-nobbing with Elvis Costello, Diana Krall and their twin boys (they have a home on Vancouver Island). Again, to give credit to Canadians, no one was bothering them while they dealt with their twins and just did child minding stuff that has to be done. We were a little surprised they were on the ferry but figured its easier than taking twins on a plane… hey! Maybe they were at the Michael Buble concert too?!

First of all anyone who says The Bube sucks can blow it out thier arses as far as I am concerned. I am so glad it was a good concert, I am so excited to go tommorrow night. As for Evis Costello and Diana Krall…that is super cool. Did you actually talk to them?
oh god, no. I didn’t talk to them! I just people-watched for a bit while we were eating our lunch. Actually, no one seemed to be bothering them at all. Their kids are pretty cute!
I’m so jealous! I hinted very hard about wanting tickets for Christmas but nay. I’ve heard he’s very entertaining – next time he comes round, I’m there!
I won’t make fun! Ha. He does have a great voice. I personally like Josh Groban a little better (equally as embarrassing)!
Awesome that you got to see him in concert!
I think Josh Groban is an amazing singer, although I’m not sure how much of him I can listen to at one time, you know? I find that true of anyone with a super rich voice, after a while, I have to turn them off and listen to some crap
. Weird.
Callum seems to love Josh Groban. Must be just the right sound to catch a toddlers attention! For that 5 seconds they pay attention to anything!
