Not the ones I've heard; Home, Everything. Haven't heard his covers. Lucky me :biggrin1:
You listen to too much popular music, then. Very seldom will you hear his covers of the "standards" on the radio. Damn good performer, IMHO, not to mention he's got some rather talented musicians backing him.

Don't be bitter just because the chicks are ga-ga over him. :tongue:

"Home" is the only one I've heard on the radio. Unless you come across a station that plays standards, which is kind of rare these days, you won't be hearing standards by Buble or anyone else for that matter. The songs he records would be similar to Rod Stewart's three albums featuring the American songbook.

I saw his show on PBS and he is a good performer, but there are other singers doing standards who I prefer over him. I give him a lot of credit though for carving out a niche for himself at such a young age. He appeals to young chicks and older ones; I know some women in their 70's who are ga-ga over him.

Two videos that visually are more that I could ask for:

Grace Jones -Slave to the Rythm

The The - Out of the blue (Into the fire)


I love these lines from the song:

Don't tell me what your name is--
I want your body, not your mind,
I want a feeling, worth paying for before I say goodbye

and

She was lying on her back with her lips parted.
Squealing like a stuffed pig!
I was going through the motions faking the emotions

Honestly, I've been there many a time and it just strikes a chord in me.

The way I see it every idol has to get his or her start somewhere. If you take Tony Bennett for example, I don't care much for his early stuff and it was only after he revived his career once or twice that he became the idol he is today. And Sinatra, well, I've never thought he was much of a vocalist. His persona made him a star. I much prefer female vocalists when it comes to the standards, anyhow.

Sinatra had charisma and I liked his vocals better than Tony Bennett, although Bennett has some standards that stand out above the rest. I always thought that Sammy Davis never got credit for his voice. I loved his voice, but people focused on his performances more, which were also incredible. I love the female vocalists too. One of my favorite CD's of standards is "My Romance" by Carly Simon. It's not a well known CD, but the song selections, her voice, and the orchestrations are beautifully done.
