Michael Buble Joins Team Blake

Lydia Picknell — Tue, 10 Jul 2012 13:54:59 +0000

Blake Shelton is bringing a powerful vocalist on Team Blake next season. Blake invited Michael Buble to serve as an advisor on NBC’s The Voice’s third season, which premieres September 10th. The pair were caught taping together in Los Angeles this week. Last season, Blake had Kelly Clarkson and Miranda Lambert serve as advisors to his team. Blake’s Jermaine Paul was crowned the winner of The Voice’s second season.

This isn’t the first time the pair have teamed up together – they sang a duet in 2008 on a David Foster special.

Blake recorded his own version of Michael’s “Home” with his wife Miranda Lambert singing backing vocals in 2008. Watch the music video below and let us know what you think of this new team. Will you be cheering for a second Team Blake victory in a row?

Recap of The 2012 JUNO Awards

Tia — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:48:15 +0000

Last night, the JUNO Awards took over Ottawa. Fans and artists came together as one to celebrate the tremendous musical talent this nation has to offer. While our U.S. friends may have been watching the ACMs, all eyes above the border were on the JUNO Awards.

The energy was electrifying inside Ottawa’s Scotiabank Place. The performances and winners of the categories were true testaments to the diversity and appreciation of such within the Canadian boundaries.

…

Some of our Canadian country faves attended the show and were lucky enough to pick up a JUNO of their own. Terri Clark took home the award for Country Album of the Year for her album Roots and Wings. Michael Buble, who was not in attendance, won Album of the Year for his record called Christmas.

One of the most memorable moments of the show was Blue Rodeo‘s performance of “Lost Together” with Sarah McLachlan. The band was also welcomed into the Canadian Music Hall of Hame by McLachlan.

Johnny Reid, a multiple nominee last night, took the stage to talk about Musicounts. He performed for students and faculty at the Museum of Civilization just a few days ago to perform and celebrate the monetary donation for local children to receive new instruments from the Band Aid program.

All in all, the show turned out to be a memorable night for both the fans and the musicians. Even if a certain Bieber wasn’t in the room, Ottawa still managed to go wild for their country’s musical talent.

Shania Twain Teaming up with Michael Buble

Lydia Picknell — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 16:48:56 +0000

Looks like Michael Buble really is a country music fan. A few years after letting Blake Shelton record a country version of his hit song “Home,” Buble has agreed to be part of another country music project… this time with fellow Canadian Shania Twain, CTV is reporting.

The pair have recorded a duet version of “White Christmas” for Buble’s Christmas album, which he sounds to be pretty excited about.

“There’s a couple duets that I really like,” Buble said of the new collection. “One with Shania Twain, which is really fantastic. ’White Christmas,’ we did. We did it bouncy. I was inspired by ‘Home Alone,’ the Drifters.”

There has been no official release date for the album as of today, however, it’s pretty safe to assume it will be out for this Holiday season. The album will be produced by David Foster and Bob Rock. The track list hasn’t yet been finalized, but other songs already recorded include “Jingle Bells” with the U.K. swing trio the Puppini Sisters, “Blue Christmas,” and his version of Mariah Carey’s hit “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” Buble also has an original tune penned for the record.

Buble previously released a Christmas EP in 2003, but says that this is what he wanted to do when he established himself as an artist.
