Michael Buble concert review,
Birmingham NIA
The collective cries of "Marry me Michael" said it all. Buble was back in town. And boy do the ladies love him.
Smouldering with sex appeal and with a mesmerising voice to boot, if anyone knows how to seduce an audience it's this guy.
Deafening screams greeted the silhouetted heart-throb as he launched into the first spine-tingling bars of Cry Me A River before the curtain opened and his truly spectacular 13-piece big band - including Wolverhampton trumpeter Josh Brown struck up.
Buble's meteoric success may have been launched by putting his own stamp on Rat Pack classics, but there's so much more to the Canadian than copycat crooning.
Just a handful of covers featured in the two-hour tease that followed, with Buble's own catalogue of hits and boyish charm sending fans ballistic.
Home, Everything, Hold On - the highlights just kept on coming as the crowd delighted in Buble giving himself over to be mobbed during 20 magical minutes on a satellite stage in the thick of the audience.
Hell, he's such a nice guy he even happily crooned It's A New Dawn with a 15-year-old sensation called Sam after the schoolboy's mother burst to the front of the stage and begged him to hear the kid sing.
The high continued for the sell-out audience with the feelgood Haven't Met You Yet before goosebumps filled the arena for encore Me & Mrs Jones.
