Michael Buble was in fine form in Newcastle on Monday, immediately getting his captive audience on side, after arriving on stage over half an hour later than billed.
The Canadian singer is known for his suave and slick shows and his Higher tour is no different. Michael is the prime example of someONE with that certain je ne sais quoi. Whatever 'it' is, he has it in abundance, with undeniable talent, star quality and boat loads of charm and charisma.
Opening his account on night one of two at the Utilita Arena with the sizzling Feeling Good, which while, of course, isn't one of his own compositions, is very much one of his calling cards and has been for years now. Michael is often pigeon holed as a 'crooner,' but while it perhaps is on the jazz classics in his repertoire that he particularly excels, he can also bring the party in abundance, with the still insanely catchy and totally joyful Haven't Met You Yet an early highlight of the evening, swiftly followed by the equally crowd pleasing L.O.V.E and Sway.
