Come Fly With Me (CD & DVD)Amazon.com
A year after his slickly produced recording debut launched him on a meteoric course to stardom, this combo CD/DVD set chronicles Michael Bubles crowd-pleasing live performances before amphitheater-sized crowds on a triumphant national tour. The audio portion kicks off with pair of new studio recordings again reinforce the 20-something Canadian heartthrobs 1950s-something artistic tack with mixed results: "Nice n Easy" has a Sinatra-faithful jazzy swing the overproduced, somnambulistic "Cant Help Falling in Love" evokes Perry Como more than Elvis. The remainder of the audio CD is comprised mostly of live versions of songs from Bubles debut, with his takes of "My Funny Valentine," "Fever," Van Morrisons "Moondance" and "Mack the Knife" again suggesting that Buble has an ear cocked wisely towards the Bobby Darin oeuvre. But with the notable exception of three elegant live-in-studio performances culled from
Sessions@AOL, the live DVD does Bubles undeniabl! y charming stage presence a great disservice. Intercut awkwardly with offstage comments by Buble and his band, the balance of that disc suffers from an MTV-inspired, cut/dissolve-every-three-seconds style thats intended to focus ones attention, but does exactly the opposite. If sudden stardom virtually guarantees that Bubles impossibly smooth, expressive voice seldom ventures very far outside the Sinatra/Darin mold here, hopefully hell leverage that fame towards greater artistic challenges in the near future.
