Michael Buble is performing "Haven’t Met You Yet" and "Feeling Good" on Dancing With The Stars Tuesday, November 10th 9/8c!

Michael Buble wanted the doors of the studio left open during the recording sessions for his latest release: “Crazy Love.” He wanted to hear the drums bleed into the horn section. He wanted his fans to feel what it was like in the studio - to feel like they were sitting with him - to have them be part of his experience. So the engineers miked the floor and put up sky stand microphones and it was all recorded just like that with the thrill of the moment in mind – even though the songs were written over the course of 80 years. It wasn’t all that different from the way it might have been in a Louis Armstrong session in the '40s or even Elvis Presley in the late 50s. The strings would get to carry an extra micro-vibration along with the bows. Sometimes acapella - other times with live bands and even huge orchestras - even some sessions with primitive 8-track recording devices that are a rarity in the crystalline perfection sound of 2009. But it isn't just the time period that is crucial but the breadth of emotional territory a man is willing to live through and share by coming clean emotionally -- in front of a bunch of strangers no less.

Aside from discovering a fresh way to deliver the live authentic feeling musical goods he is known for, his choice of material shows an artist still hungry to innovate and make his mark both as a stylist, but also as a songwriter. He has already proven his mettle composing the smash “Home” that is the remembrance song for so many soldiers and their loved ones in these times of war. The homesick homage scored as a number one hit around the world. More evidence of the song’s power would come from cowboy crooner Blake Sheldon's No. 1 country version of "Home." And lest we forget Michael's performance of his song "Everything" which launched gazillion of newlywed’s first dance as Mr. and Mrs. That voice has evolved from breezy, funny, and passionate. Now it’s sometimes as strong as a hockey player with a stick. Old fans will quickly notice that the callow youth of MB yore has given way to a complex man who takes the stage in top form even in the recording studio.
