But I do think that he gets a little extra love from being fat-faced, so girls assume he's sweet and sincere and not getting slapped in the face with puss all day. Which you know he is. It's John Mayer syndrome. Sussy - RIGHT? We should host a video show, except it would mostly be us jumping up and down and clapping and saying "YAY!"(me) and "OMG!"(you) and playing the same song 40 times. Oh, but I have heard that Emily Blunt & he are beards - another reason I don't want to meet him. I need to imagine Michael Buble is straight. And older than me. Joe G. - I love an unnecessary key change almost as much as I love an acappella break. Musical drama! Tony - Thanks a lot. You RUINED it. Amblus - I know!

Nice and simple and poppy but good pop. the key change at the end is a little overdoin' it but its not as bad as the key change at the end of "livin on a prayer" (another great pop song with a kickin yet oft-overlooked bassline) although in the realm of unnecessary pop key changes I think Lonestar's "Amazed" is by far the most offensive key change I've ever heard and in the realm of necessary, wonderful, and seamless pop key changes I think Stevie Wonder's "you are the sunshine of my life" is pretty great, the part towards the end that just gets happier and happier buble's is kinda okay, somewhere between the two i agree, its a really good song in an songwritey kind of way.

buble’s is kinda okay, somewhere between the two

This is a completely involuntary reaction but I can only give in, you know? I love Harry Connick Jr. the same way. Oh, and I once had a chance to meet David Bowie (who I love above and beyond all) and I didn't do it because it would have killed me, KILLED ME if he turned out to be a douche. Or, he would have been charming and I would have puked on his shoes. When he smiles into the microphone my knees go tingly. This is a completely involuntary reaction but I can only give in, you know?

Eliza! You don't know how happy it makes me to know that some other normal, respectable, non-tron person loves this song as much as me. I discovered it on a JetBlue cross-country flight on VH1's "after-hours" videopalooza. They played it at least once an hour for five hours and I have been smitten ever since. Yes, it is super extra double-plus cheesy with a side of cheese, but I still can't stop playing it. I also can't stop thinking about what it must have been like for Emily Blunt, his gf whom he supposedly wrote the song for, to hear it for the first time. Can you imagine if your boyfriend said to you, "Hey, I wrote this song for you" and then he gave you the headphones and played you this piece of POP PERFECTION??? How did she not melt into a pile of goo on the floor? How is she still out and about at movie premieres and stuff? Are her insides made of steel? These are the things I think about when I have this song on repeat for an hour at a time. SIGH. OMG! Eliza!
