It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life for me and I’m feeling good…and so was Cardiff after a stellar performance by Michael Bublé. Known by many as Mr Christmas, Michael very quickly proved he was so much more than that, after just one line of his show on Thursday, May 4 at Cardiff International Arena.
The singer who is back on tour in the UK after four years kicked off the show with no support act but instead a countdown and a very dramatic lighting sequence. Emerging from the smoke came Mr Bublé and from the first note it was strikingly obvious how powerful his voice was.
Michael commanded the stage all night, quickly making himself at ease with the crowd making jokes from talking to the 11-month baby in the crowd, who he wanted to hold but said he wouldn't to resist the urge to re-create the iconic Lion King scene, to throwing a towel at a man named Richie to even taking the mickey out of his Christmas reputation, telling the crowd: “Santa Claus didn’t bring s**t in his sack tonight!”
