The kid's go an amazing career ahead of him. He's got enormous talent and
seems to have his head screwed on right. If you ever get the chance to see
him perform live, don't turn it down. It's a show you will not forget. His
CD's should be a part of the collection of anyone who appreciates a
masterful presentation of the standards. It's truly exciting to see someone
of his genre getting so much favorable press, critical and commercial
success, given what else passes for commercially successful music these
days.

Never heard him or of him, other than here.


A 'Sinatra' type of singer, in fact I believe he does some of his songs. I
prefer the original though.

Ahh, thanks. Yeah, I prefer Sinatra myself.

Have you checked out Ronan Tynan? No one sings "Danny Boy" like Tynan.

No, because they *both* sing in Sinatra's style, but Conick did it
first. Therefore, it appears that Buble copied Conick.

Wrong again, Bassy. Sinatra didn’t start it, he is simply one of the
most popular of the crooners. It’s a complex concept, and I realize
you and Don prefer the simple ones, but try to follow along…

Rudy Vallee is considered to be the first crooner, starting the style
10 years before Sinatra ever came on the scene. Bing Crosby is
considered the “king” of the crooners, and is who Sinatra copied when
he got his start. Sinatra was one of the last and best known today.

Now fast-forward to 1989, and Harry Connick, Jr. Connick revives the
style of crooning and introduces it to a whole new generation of fans.
He builds quite a career out of it over the last 17 years. Buble is a
johnny-come-lately who is riding Connick’s coattails. Without
Connick, you’d never have heard of Buble. Therefore, a “Connick
clone”. Can you think of a quicker, more succinct way to describe him
to someone who’s never heard of him?

Besides, I never said Buble was bad, or had no talent. In fact, I
have one of his CD’s; it’s pretty good “dinner music”. It’s you guys
who are getting your panties in a wad over this. Why are you guys so
full of bile? The rest of the NG has grown up, so when are you guys
going to join us?

Anyway, it’s been pretty entertaining. Thanks for the laughs.
Consider yourselves educated... on at least this *one* thing.

Sorry, but YOU are wrong. Sinatra's style was unique.

Rudy Vallee is considered to be the first crooner, starting the style
10 years before Sinatra ever came on the scene. Bing Crosby is
considered the "king" of the crooners, and is who Sinatra copied when
he got his start. Sinatra was one of the last and best known today.

Sinatra's style, tempos, pitch, and vocal range were not copied nor
sound anything like either Vallee, or Crosby.

Now fast-forward to 1989, and Harry Connick, Jr. Connick revives the
style of crooning and introduces it to a whole new generation of fans.
He builds quite a career out of it over the last 17 years. Buble is a

Connick, you'd never have heard of Buble. Therefore, a "Connick

Yes, and quite easily. Big band genre.

who are getting your panties in a wad over this. Why are you guys so

What makes you think I'm all upset over this? I could really care less
if you are wrong. Perhaps you should follow your own advice to grow up.

Anyway, it's been pretty entertaining. Thanks for the laughs.

You said "Sinatra did it first", and he did not. Besides, everyone's

Yes, and quite easily. Big band genre.

Buble would be quite amused, as you just called him a band leader or
musician. Big Bands are just that... big jazz bands headed up by a
band leader. Think Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington.

Crooner is the genre that Sinatra, Connick and Buble belong to. That
style originated in the big band era, and the crooners were typically
backed up by a big band, but not always. In the end, Buble is
definitely not "big band", he's a crooner. From Wikipedia:

"However, crooners have not completely disappeared, with contemporary
performers such as Tony Bennett, Harry Connick Jr., Michael Bublé, and
Rod Stewart keeping the form alive."

And about big bands:

"A big band is a large musical ensemble that plays jazz music."
Nowhere do they even mention a singer.

Iit took you two days to find a site that had all those words

release of some Big Band Genre *sheet music*, note there's no mention
of LYRICS, and it's in, parenthetically, the Connick/Buble STYLE.
Someone is peddling some sheet music arranged for a Big Band, and is
using two big names to advertise it. He's hoping people will think it
might sound similar to the music to which Connick and Buble apply
their crooning skills. Do you understand, or are you stupid?

You're kidding, right? That's a news flash for the entire music

artists, newspapers, and music websites all referring to, and
describing themselves as, the "crooner genre".

Evidently, more than you. We've now established that while there is a

croon to big band music, but big band does not define crooning. Buble

came ten years after the first crooner. All these things are facts,

I hope you expand your horizons, and come to realize that genres are
created all the time. It's not something that's static, it's
something that grows everytime that a new art form is created.

But "Crooner" is a genre, Sinatra was not the first, and Connick and
Buble are correctly defined as "Crooners", not "Big Band".

created all the time. It's not something that's static, it's
something that grows everytime that a new art form is created.

But "Crooner" is a genre, Sinatra was not the first, and Connick and
Buble are correctly defined as "Crooners", not "Big Band".

Care to differ? Provide a cite, please.

I gave you a site. You've given me nothing.

Note that Fred will probably
cuss at you, however...

On that we agree!

Any Michael Buble fans?

There's NO SUCH THING as a "crooner genre"!!!!

Giggle. Indeed.

Cite?

I'm not going to do your research for you. If you want to go through
life ignorant, that's your choice.

As suspected.....you have nothing.

"There's something about the crooner genre that just brings out this
timeless feel, as though nothing has changed. Bublé, however,
proclaims, "It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life," and
with the way things are looking for the singer, a successful future
may be on the horizon."

Happy now? There's plenty of others.

One reporter errantly calls it 'crooner genre' and you take that as
gospel? Here's some real stuff on music history:

Oh, and here is Yahoos genre listings:

Bassy, those were a couple of interesting links you provided. I
noticed a couple of interesting things:

1. Neither list claimed to be a complete list of music genres. In
fact, there were many singing styles notably absent from those lists.

2. If you're still touting those lists as being the final word on
music genres, you should notice that neither one contains "Big Band"
as a genre. So you were wrong when you called Buble "Big Band genre",
since by your own proof that genre doesn't exist.

Besides, there is no authority on what can, and can't be a genre. A
genre is: "A category of artistic composition, as in music or
literature, marked by a distinctive style, form, or content."
Crooning is an artistic style, and therefore is a genre. Hell,
yodeling is a genre.

Finally, maybe you should tell Buble himself that he's "Big Band".
He, on his own web site, describes himself as a crooner. Look at
http://www.michaelbuble.jazzyutopia.com/index2.html
where he bills himself as a "21st Century Crooner". Not a 21st
Century Big Band, huh?


Relax Fred, this is my last post in this thread.
