Mike you are an Arch Angel. Your voice is a gift. I lived in a house filled with all those old great musicians on vinyl. Paul Anka although a pop singer when I was young was my favourite. You did it your way. Loved Frank Sinatra, Louie Armstrong all those and even the three Tenors.🎉 Much respect. Sending love and light to you and your amazing wife and family. Blessings fm NZ.

I was never a huge Michael Buble fan; I liked 'Home' but didn't listen to much of his music. Then I took my wife to a concert of his. It was in a huge stadium that is known for its lack of intimacy and poor sound quality. He came on stage alone and started singing to what I thought was a backing track. 'oh boy,' I thought - his singing was good...but... Then, a curtain dropped. There was a small band, and he went up a notch. Then another dropped, and by the third or fourth song, there was a full band, and he had me. We were in the last row, and I felt as if I was in the front row. He sang to us. Directly. In the final song, the band disappears; it's just Michael. Then, he dropped the microphone and sang the last few words of the show. We were the only people in a small room with Michael...and at that moment I fell in love with Michael Buble. And I'm not afraid to admit it. Since then, I have watched several videos of him - I especially like the one where he plays Deon from South Africa, selling hi-fi in a London store. I will even tolerate him singing Christmas songs. That takes real magic.

Hello Steven , I’m Reggie. I’m 57, gay,dealing (currently) with physical disabilities mental health issues and I’m homeless. Well technically I’m in an assisted living facility. I say all of this to say that though I’m in a challenging place in my life as so many of us are, that your podcast pulls me up! It pulls me up and lifts me out of my self doubts and depression and allows me the space to see that I’m not alone and understanding that I have the capacity to reframe what I know happiness can be for me. Your interviewing style is BRILLIANT! You are so tuned into your guests and the thing I’m most impressed with is that you don’t have this need to make it all about you. You understand on a very deep level that people like me really need to hear what the guests have to share . You don’t need their story to make you look good or cool or important. You listen and you adjust to what they’re sharing and it’s very moving. I will say though you do from time to time piss me off because you make me like people that I don’t want to like or empathize with people I didn’t think I would. I writing this as I’m watching Michael Buble and I’m blown away by his story. So bravo to you ! I’m proud of you as a YOUNG BLACK ACCOMPLISHED AND TUNED IN MAN! I make a point to emphasize black man because I feel we don’t say it enough to each other and I feel that it’s tantamount to our self worth. Thank you, keep doing you and BTW I LISTENED TO THE BOOK 3 TIMES AND ITS WORKING FOR ME AND THE HUEL SITUATION IS VERY GOOD….PEACE. RS

[@Teach.Experience.Dance-Vicky]

What a lovely comment to give someone. I am sorry you are in such a difficult place right now, but here’s what I thought : Your post is incredibly observant, insightful, articulate and positive. You stand up for what you believe in and I agree , you don’t need to apologise for celebrating a young black man succeeding - positive role models are SO POWERFUL My point is - that all of this is testimony of admirable qualities that so many people don’t have. These are riches that YOU have . Use them and feel proud that you really do have lots to offer this world a🌍. Happy Xmas and happy continual reframing

[@gaylebrady2678]

I have always felt Michael was in his own class. For me that is what makes him SPECIAL. I have always thought this when ever I hear him singing. I'm so glad that he is in his own class. I love and grew up with Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., etc. They are much older than me. I was born 1957. So they were already in their 20's. But sadly we are losing these wounderful artists. Time waits for no man. Even I am in my older age now but as long as I am here I still want to hear those old song. I just as much enjoy Michael's original songs too. I want to go home, is my favorite song of Michael's. I think that's the name of it. Well anyway❣️ I appreciate Michael Bublé and all his songs he sings because he has such a fantastic beautiful voice❣️🫶

I went to his concert in Ft Lauderdale many years ago with my then teenage daughter. We were in the nosebleed seats completely across from him in what is usually our hockey arena (GO PANTHERS!). He looked like a little ant he was so far. After a few songs he put his mic down and sang directly to the audience. His voice went directly from his mouth to our ears. It was so authentic and so beautiful. Best concert moment ever. ❤

We've had the best life and out of nowhere a dementia called Lewy body invaded our lives. Regardless I feel seeing him through the darkness of this disease, to love him while his brain is being destroyed day by day feels like the best and only thing I could do.My final dream is that I can outlive him to hold him to the end, as this is a fatal disease. THIS is life and Michael with his HUGE success and brilliant talent taught this lesson from his experiences and at his young age through his appearance on your show. You with your show is doing God's work!

I love that he has no regrets, I’m 72 and I regret nothing in my life, it’s made me the person I am today and I’m told that’s a nice, kind, caring person, so I’m lucky to have the people I have in my life! I’ve never had a chance to go to a concert of his but, watching him on TV concerts, I saw him as a down to earth lovely man, and this podcast has proved it!

[@jessicacarron8117]

I have been listening to Michael since that first album. My record collection is so much of those swing/jazz/big band influences. I was so happy to have a living singer to listen to new music. Finally got to see him on tour in Hamilton with the teen and a good friend. My mom was supposed to go, was so excited but passed a couple months before the show. The show was everything I had hoped for. He is such a tremendous showman. Mom would have loved it. The fact he is also a Canadian and such a kind, funny, talented human is a joy.

[@niomibandara4030]

This will probably sound weird but I’m a spiritual person (I’m a reiki master) and I also have a career in big corporations as a day job which you wouldn’t think could go hand in hand but I do love both worlds. I feel like your podcast spans two worlds too. The meaning of life (what makes you happy) and also business which honestly I really enjoy. I feel like I don’t belong anywhere and all I can say is that we probably all think we don’t belong and that’s why this format works so well ❤ You’ve carved your own path and that is amazing so thank you!

I am speechless..wow! What an INCREDIBLE guest and interview. I hope he comes back to talk about how he met his wife, knowing that she is the one, family life, etc. It seems like he has a fountain of information about real living. Amazing interview that stays with you.. the joy!🩷

Michael you are so amazing singer and husband, dad ❤️❤️

[@stellaswancounselling]

Oooh I wonder if Mike will do a musical I would love to see him do a remake of an oldie such as singing in the rain. ❤❤

[@staceyahola4926]

Absolutely awesome interview with Mike… I’ve never had the pleasure of knowing you before, sir and I’m looking forward to making that happen. Thank you so much.

[@tanyatj7121]

Thank you Steven! What a truly Beautiful and inspirational human being Mike is. This podcast made me feel so alive for reasons I will certainly reflect in a quiet moment or two. With much love and appreciation to you and your team ❤🇦🇺🌻

Merry Christmas, Steven! You have made this year go round. Enjoy your holiday and yes, Michael Bublé is such a gift. Thank you!

[@christeenrenay22]

I love buble!!! His voice. His humor! What a gent!

[@tygandaproductions]

I must say, as a South African, his impression of "Deon" is spot on! Michael, your message, your life journey, your music, is just amazing. I don't even know what else to say, your Xmas song is literally the theme song for when Xmas season is starting here, not even Mariah Carey can compete

[@Corrans]

Fellow South African here and I agree! Yes!

🌞Michael, you are a ray of sunshine ❤ beautiful interview Stephen 😊

[@suren1987]

Michael Bublé's - "I'll be seeing you" is a song till this day that gives me goosebumps and takes me be back to the day I proposed to my wife, idk how but this song together with "just like a star" by Corinne Bailey Rae had become our songs, and I had them played in the museum where I took her the day I purposed. Even though we are divorced now, the song will always bring me back the joys of those days and that stage of my life. My only concern really is why this version of "I'll be seeing you" is only available on KZbin these days.

This interview made me smile the entire time. Love it

[@todayiwearfuzzyducky]

What a beautiful story or family, love, and resiliance! All the music throughout the episode was EPIC!!! Thank you

[@RobertLongley1]

You both are defining your own space, and I suspect weirdly connected. This was awesome.

[@seanchristopherjohn]

I gotta leave another comment. Honestly the ease of this interview was great to watch. He Honestly loved being there and talking with you. Great to watch. #BeMoreLikeMike

[@kman8271]

I just love this man. Like for real. His voice and the way he makes cleaning the house such a joy. Can’t wait to watch this!

[@genadij116]

I love Michael, with all my heart, since I heard Everything for the first time when it was just out, I never looked back since. I don't listen to music as much as I used to, but everytime I see this beautiful human being of a Mike, or hear his beautiful, most amazing covers of Christmas songs, that made me fall in love with music and sinning, and being myself. I am like whole again, and everything is ok! God bless you Mike and thank you Steve, very much for Inviting one of our heroes.

[@jane-BKK]

One of the best interviews ever on CEO Diary ❤

[@mariascalise]

So much truth spoken in such a short space of time, Michael is a wonderful role model. Life threatening/transforming experiences often trigger re-evaluation and re-prioritisation in our lives. Life can throw a curveball at any moment, that's why it's important to never take anything for granted and always prioritise what we deem important to us, both for the soul and in our physical reality 😊.

I rem first seeing MB one afternoon on a show and fell in love with his voice ,proud to have seen him live in the O2 in London ,an amazing artist and respect for his humbleness and love for family .

[@jennywoodward7814]

What a Christmas Special! Boy did you deliver!! There's way too much to say about this awesome Buble treat! What sheer determination chasing your dreams, Michael! Love the family values propelling you but even without that it sounds like you had the grit! And those friends you met along the way maybe wanted it for you almost as much! I think having friends like that is a reflection on yourself, a shared energy between people. And Steven! What a podcast you and your team have put together, keep following your inner voice and you can't go wrong. I bet that person "interviewing" you those years back won't ever get over it! But it is a perfect example of what seemed like the right road at the time to the one you're on now. Massive Merry Christmas to Michael, Steven, all the team and family! Now where do I buy that Whiskey?!!!
