Speaks for itself. Dont care either way because it was an awful performance whether mimed or live.

Cheryl pissed all over him.

They must have seen something different to me then.

And he was 100x better than Katy Perry the week before, what was her excuse?

Oh and Cheryl was autotuned the bits she did actually sing, the rest she was miming

[Vicky.]

Sorry but singing live>>>>>>>>>>>>>.miming.

Even if the singing is quite crap...

Otherwise, whats the point in them being known as singers?

The only time miming is acceptable I think, is if there is a very energetic dance routine. Which is why I didnt have a problem with cheryl miming...as noone could sing and dance like that and sound good...

Well exactly. Nobody watches Cheryl for a vocal masterclass. But like other popstars (Britney, Madonna etc) she puts on a show.

But with artists like Buble its supposed to be all about the voice. So if you can't deliver that then you FAIL. Just like Britney failed when she didnt put on a show..just walked around the stage like a dozey bint.

Again, I don't see why he should get a free pass when popstars like Cheryl always get slaughtered.

So should he have just cancelled then? because he was ill and his voice wouldnt be up to scratch?

Yes, if he cares about his rep and feels strongly about giving his best.

Otherwise just suck up the criticism! Like Britney had too and many others have even when they have their reasons.

And he didnt sound very ill in the interview imo.

[Jords]

I didnt think he was that bad at all, ill or not. Michael has a great voice, though not too keen on his new single if Im honest.

Not at all.

That is just silly.

If Cheryl has to take crap for her singing then so called accomplished singers like him should be called out too! Its not like he does any choreography or anything just stand there with a mic and sing a bloody easy MOR song.

His songs are easy listening anyways so hardly a stretch vocally.He was a sloppy mess and thats my honest opinion.

However, to sing dreadfully AND look like youre miming at the same time is a skill though!

He was flat, wasn't feeling very well.

[Livia]

If that's what he sounds like when he's not well, what does that say about the sucky bunch of amateurs on the show? Cheryl wasn't ill, she mimed. It's okay not to like Michael Buble, but be adult enough to give him the credit he's due.

Matt's already better than Michael Buble...and Rebecca will be too and maybe Aiden IMO

again, I'm not some Buble fanatic and wouldn't rush out to buy his next single either,
but,
saying Aiden may eventually be a better singer than Buble is like saying 'in theory anything can happen'.

Let's all come back to reality a little now.

[fruit_cake]

well I just don't think Michael Buble has the x-factor.. I don't think he'd win the competition if he were in it.. hes too boring IMO

To me I see him as about as interesting (charisma-wise) as Matt - which is not very much.

Having said that, women go mental for Buble. I mean he obviously has some kind of x-factor because he fills stadiums with 22-36 year old women with some freaky 'cult like infatuation' following.
He can go on Oprah and the women just lose their minds over Buble Day.

I don't see it but there it is.

People just presumed he was miming because he was good, usually the singers they have on their are **** so need autotuning.

Good? My only doubts about him miming were actually because he sounded awful! Like a poor mans James Morrison.

I mean you wouldnt mime to a bad vocal track.

[Kaaarenn!]

Michael Buble didn't mime. You can tell when someone is miming and he didn't this time and he didn't last year he was on either. Cheryl on the other hand, did.
