Anyone heard the final version of "White Christmas?" Was that woman's voice in the video actually Shania or not?

Weird that they would do that. *sigh of relief* Maybe they just needed an in-house singer to have vocals on the track so others could hear it for something. I don't know. Glad it wasn't her voice, though! haha

Interesting that he covered "Santa Baby"- I guess guys have done it before, but far more ladies. In addition to "Baby," he does use "Buddy" and alters some of the lyrics to fit him.

The only Spanish track in the album. MB did the first few lines of the song, with the help of her Argentinian wife. His wife somehow "requested" for Thalia, a huge star in Latin America, to appear on his album because his wife is a big fan of Thalia.

Buble's version of "All I Want For Christmas is You" currently is No. 21 on Medibase's 7-Day rolling chart (published panel), with 115 spins (+109 from a week ago); it has 280 spins on the "All-Stations" rolling chart (and sits at No. 15).

Glad it wasn't her voice, though! haha Sorry but it was Shania's voice. They recorded her voice via Skype. www.contactmusic.com/news/michael-buble-duets-with-shania-twain-on-skype_1252510 . By the way, Michael Buble will perform and sing some songs from his Christmas album in a Christmas special aired via NBC this December 6, 8-9 pm, ET.

Looks like Buble's version of "All I Want For Christmas is You" could be this season's top new AC holiday entry. It's already at 338 spins on MB's 7-day rolling chart. Spins counts are a lot lower than usual in November/December on the chart, because most of the music AC plays is old Christmas songs. Wonder if it will reach 1,000+ spins in a week?

Break Out the Bubbly - Michael Buble's "Christmas" CD is No. 1International Sales Pass 4 Million Units And CountingNEW YORK, Nov. 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Michael Buble's new holiday CD "Christmas" jumps up another notch to No. 1 on next week's Billboard Charts with sales of 227,133 units according to his label Warner Bros./Reprise Records. The multi-Grammy winning Canadian superstar is scheduled to perform tonight (November 30th) on NBC's Christmas Tree Lighting at Rockefeller Center. "I feel like Christmas has come early for me...I'm really proud of this record so this is icing on the fruitcake. Thank you America and Happy Holidays," commented Buble on the stunning success of his CD which was released five weeks ago. Buble described his "Christmas" CD as "the album I dreamed about making my entire life." With a 60 Minutes profile scheduled to take place this Sunday, December 4th, his own NBC Christmas Special December 6th, a guest host stint on "Live" with Kelly Ripa on December 15th and 16th and the musical guest on Saturday Night Live on December 17th, Buble is expected to continue to reign supreme on the charts through the end of this year. Michael Buble is also ruling the radio as his version of "All Want For Christmas Is You" reaches No. 1 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary radio airplay chart. The song first appeared on the charts in 1995 and was written and recorded by Mariah Carey. It's Buble's 4th No. 1 A/C hit following Buble penned songs "Home," "Everything" and "Haven't Met You Yet." The "Christmas" CD is also a global hit and reached No. 1 in the UK and Canada charts and is Top Ten in every major market. Previous Michael Buble No. 1 CD's include "Call Me Irresponsible" and "Crazy Love." International sales for "Christmas" have passed the 4 million mark. "Christmas" was produced by David Foster, Bob Rock and Humberto Gatica and includes such holiday classics as "Jingle Bells," "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," "The Christmas Song," "Silent Night," "White Christmas" featuring Shania Twain and an original song written by Buble called "Cold December Night."

Special aired tonight- was alright. Not sure why Justin Bieber had to chime in and perform his latest single (it's not like he hasn't performed at enough places already) but...

Entertainment Weekly did "Five Awkward Questions with Michael Buble." I've never heard him speak or read any interviews, but it was actually pretty hilarious. He really knows how to poke fun at himself.

I really like this album. He has done some interesting arrangements of some of the old standards, as well as performed some of the newer Christmas songs that are becoming classics ("All I Want For Christmas Is You", "Christmas Baby Please Come Home"). I'm not surprised that it's doing as well as it is. I can see it being a big seller for years to come.

He is slaying the AC charts with 3 tracks in the Top 5 (#1, #2, #4) and 3 more inside the Top 30 (#14, #21, #30).

I was blown away by both his voice and his personality

His Caught in the Act concert video is actually his best record. People can get pretty good idea of why Buble successfully carved a niche when lots of other much more talented singers fell by the wayside.

^^ I think his voice is pretty great but his looks and charm definitely give him that extra edge.

I thank Michael for being the sales force I missed and much needed for the holiday season I wouldn't have bared yet another 250K as the highest selling album on December!

Will his version of "All I Want For Christmas..." chart on the Hot 100 this week? It bubbled under at No. for the 12/24 chart. It's crossed 10m audience at AC (via Mediabase) and is charting in the Hot AC top 50.

NO words. I have only known Michael Buble as a correspondent on I Love The 90s or 80s, so I have always lauded him for his comic gifts. I knew of his existence as a singer and his style of music but it has never been for me...til now. He is officially the King of Christmas. Mariah Carey is my favorite artist and there are times when I think his version of All I Want trumps hers, which is no small feat. I am extremely impressed with the CD overall and I had NO idea that was Shania. I will have to listen again. I miss her! He supports his fellow Canadians!

Not sure about all that, King of Christmas after one season? And as for his version of AIWFCIY, it's totally different, it's definitely one of the best covers of the song ever but better than the original? Nah. Matters of opinion, I guess, I mean it's just fresher at the moment, let's retread this ground in a few years.
