  • The brass ruins it for me. And I think no one will ever beat George Michael singing this song.

  • like like like like

  • Georgios Kyriakos Panayiotou...

    4 Ever... !

  • wow great job!!

  • what a clown...

    pffffffffff!

  • *swoon* love it. can't stop playing on repeat!

  • Stop hating. I love George but he did this song justice. I'm just happy to hear a baritone using his real range and not forcing himself to be a tenor.

  • George michael is 100,000 times better than you can not compared

  • Not as quite good as George, but still amazing! Michael is the only one, who is able to be compareable with George! The outmost respect for Michael Buble!!!!!

  • Haha, he has a volume mixer in his finger.. First minute he cant stop twisting it.! But great song again, love them all!!

  • you are far.....

  • I'M IN LOVE

  • Love Michael Buble but it just doesn't compare to the original George Michael....

  • George Michael, shoot this dog!!!!! LOL.

  • lovely..

    

  • spettacolo.

  • I'm torn--I love the George Michael original but Buble also did this song justice! Kind of glad there are two versions from two vocalists I admire! 

  • 38 people who loves Justin Beaver

  • @TheKuza123 LOL

  • @TheKuza123 38 persons who know what is music (not Gayber) George for ever!

  • Sounds cool, but the original (George Michael) will never be duplicated.

  • I just realized from wikipedia that George Michael wrote this song in 1980s. This is about his personal experience. That's why Michael may sing it with more "soul"...

  • buble is the best!!! i love him!!

  • I think George Michael just has a voice with more rough tones which gives the song more personality contrary to Buble's silky, smooth voice. It doesn't mean that Buble sings with less emotion. It just makes Buble's version a lot more cookie-cutter which doesn't give the song the right mood or feel for lack of better words.

  • I understand people saying that George Michael sings this better in that he puts in more emotion into the song. But to discard completely the beauty in this interpretation is to be musically deaf. I dunno how it's humanly possible to listen to this clip without feeling even a tiny bit touched.

  • No offense but George Michael sings this better...

  • 38 people are blind to great talent.

  • too slow - he should pick up the tempo a little bit.

  • This is good but yeah, George Michael's original is WAY better

  • Nice Version

  • Michael buble is a beautiful singer x and i love him soooooooooooooo much xxx

    

  • I love this song. Every time I hear it, It makes me think of Winter of Innocence by Ken Koenig. If you haven't heard that song then you should check it out just search: Ken Koenig - Winter of Innocence &Let me know what you think! :)

  • a beautiful song.... Kissing a Fool... You'll never find peace of mind.. till you listen to your heart...

  • @629lalo "I still haven't met you yet", is a jazz piece?

  • Comment removed

  • shit version....George Michael is another level

  • Beautiful. =)

  • Michael Buble is a very good singer but this doesn't even come CLOSE to George Michael's version

  • 2:34 BREATHTAKINGLY AMAZING!

  • The canadian Luis Miguel

  • Obviously George´s song is better, but this song is nice too, good for Buble

  • A new Tony Bennett has born

  • I've just spent nigh on 3 days listening to the george michaels. I love the bloke, a voice like silk, velvet and chocolate mixed with a dollop of class. ........however, the bubble wipes the floor with him on this one, its the lower bass tones, he can't match the greek on the high bits, but for 90% he's on the money, its a jazz standard, and as a standard the boob gets it.... cheers

  • I was so excited when I came across this but it wasn't quite what I was expecting. Michael Buble sings beautifully and with feeling but what exactly is he feeling? He's definitely not conveying the kind of emotions I picked up from George Michael... It should be sung full of regret and mourning. This cover just falls flat :(

  • First time I've heard this guy and now I wonder where I've been. I LIKE HIM!! Classic style, lovely voice strong choice of tunes;think I'm a new fan. I just have to go out more often.

  • i don't really care what anyone says. Both George and Michael are amazing singers! Michael does a great cover of the original and in my opinion it is done beautifully. So lets all stop the hate shall we and enjoy this amazing song :)

  • I love how this song has become an old fashioned standard. It was always my favorite song on GM's faith album.

  • surprised by the criticism. this is one of the few songs i think buble gets right. i love this version. as well as the george michael's version. just two different feels.

  • Obviously a different style of singing, a little too jazzy with the horn section; not soft enough. Though this one isn't that bad, George Michael's original is definitely the best. Michael Buble would do great singing big band if he wanted to try something a little different.

  • any debate that tried compare Buble's version with GM is completely useless and brainless. they both great singers and i dont think that GM is objected that Buble covered his song. so bring your brainless debate to other videos but this beautiful song.

  • Obviously it's not up to par with the original, but not a bad attempt I say.

  • AMAZING.. GREAT.. FABULOUS.. WonderFul .. SPECTACULAR !!!!!

  • George did it in '88 it was GREAT..now buble in '09 with new musical technology..But it SUCKED

  • "there's something there, that can't compare with any other...."

    Too true!!!!!!

    GM ownes this song. He wrote it, sang it and arranged it.

    Faux crooners need not apply!!

  • Am I the only one who loves his version? Shoot...

  • In other style than George Michael but its also good I think :)

  • You are far

    I'm never gonna be your star

    I'll pick up the pieces

    And mend my heart

    Maybe I'll be strong enough

    I don't know where to start

    But I'll never find

    Peace of mind

    While I listen to my hear

  • Anybody know if this version come in an CD or DVD?

  • I love buble.....What Of it >?<

  • wow suddenly ppl cant cover other songs? seesh chill out people, regardless of which one u think is better, u cant deny buble IS talented and this version is well done

  • Lets not forget this was early in Bublé's career so thesedays he would do a better job. He still covers this song brilliantly! :)

  • fucc georgie, buble is so much better. at least he's got talent. georgie is only famous coz he's a homo pervert.

  • @navegamadrid cmon dont talk about George Michael like that... please show some respect..

  • @navegamadrid I think both of them are very talented and amazing singers just they are singing in different style. Its like compare a chocolate cake with a strawberry cake... impossible.:)

  • lovely!

  • absolutely fantastic voice! it can tone down your stressful mood.. :-)

  • Really? Gotta be kissin a man sorry. Listen to lyrics. Lov ya Buble otherwise.

  • I prefer George Michael's version, but this is still gorgeous to listen to. Such a sad break up song......I speak from personal experience :)

  • im a huge fan of George Michael and obviously he sings it better but Buble does a great job!!

  • I honestly don't understand why people are so offended by this. This is perfect

  • I really love it. I don't know how some people can dislike it but for me it's really great.

  • LOVE THE VERSION GEORGE MICHAEL DID, BUT BLUBLE`S VERSION IS MUCH BETTER, HE HAS THIS SPARK, HE HAS A VOICE THAT MELTS ME....

  • @romanguy73. Frank Sinatra has never been near this song. George Michael wrote the song and first recorded it around 1988. Michael Buble covered it around 2002 (ish). I'm sure this was just an oversight on your part.

  • This song was a huge mistake. A total travesty. UGH!

  • I completely disagree. I love George Michael, but the booble has made this his own. It's a jazz standard and I'd sooner hear him sing this than GM. More than happy to hear GM do his other stuff like listen without prejudice vol1, wonderful.

  • amazing voice. just like Frank Sinatra !

  • They don't have to sound alike. Their styles and impressions are different. I thought he did a great job.

  • Nu-uh... Buble sounds like a lounge singer with this song. George DOESN'T sound like a lounge singer, he sounds fabulous.

  • @amyanda yeah but buble isnt a coke sniffin, stoned driving ass renderer

  • His voice sends you into a trance *___* <3

  • Man If I were a singer, I'd like to follow his style

  • Man If I were a singer, I'd like to follow his style

  • I actually enjoy this version very much. Yea, Michael Buble is mostly a cover artist, and there's nothing wrong with that. Just take him as he is.

  • i mean SING people;)

  • I love Buble,but never do this again;)

    Nobody can sinf this as good as George Michael....not even close!

  • @willeke88 I coudnt AGREE WITH YOU MORE! GM Will always be the Don of this song!!

  • digan lo que digan michel buble tiene una particularidad de feeling...que no tiene G.M.

  • До Джорджа Майкла похоже ему далековато,хотя и не плохо исполнено...

  • while i think buble is a decent enough singer, and i've enjoy a few of his songs, this cover still falls far short of George Michael's rendition. Every change that buble enacts just seems to subtract rather than add to the original. GM really nailed it, in my opinion, and there's really no way to change it or view it in any other interpretation.

  • Both versions are brilliant. Each performer has their own interpretation...George gets the royalties and can crash into as many supersnaps as he wants....and let Mikey do the donkey work.....it's all good!!

  • Buble really brings this song to life...George Michael is the genius songwriter who penned it and first recorded it...George gave it a life of its own...and now Buble really shows what a great cabaret number it can be. Stop hatin', people. There is room for both versions...each may have his or her favorite, but they both do it justice.

  • @sign543 Incorrect. This is like karaoke compared to George.

  • @Snackay Oh, that's just goofy. I can understand being a huge fan of somebody...being so loyal that you can't even objectively listen to anybody else is a pathology. I am a big fan of George Michael...have been since 1984 when I was 13...but, I also can listen to Buble and hear his great talent, as well. Both versions of the song are really good, IMHO.

  • @sign543 Thank you for making some sense. Not, there are a lot of people who are getting way to heated about this one.

  • @Snackay Okay, I went back and listened to them both again...and I admit that I love George's far better...the original is by far the more sensual, George's voice has a depth that Buble doesn't reach, but I still like Buble's version for what it is. It's a different feel and it works. I stand by the original, though.

  • I wasn't even aware there was a George Michael version of this song ... I've only heard of Buble's version and I fell in love with it. Mind you, I'm referring to the recorded version and not this video in particular. I think the recorded version is a lot better.

  • go fuck yourself Buble....no wonder culture sucks these days

  • Not feeling this version, but Wesley Crusher is doing a bang up job on the piano

  • good voice, but the feeling is wrong. he didn't sink in the song, so didn't the audiences can.

  • Ripping off "THE VOICE" , ripping off George Michael.

    Making a career out of bunch of classic songs with no style of his own.

    Still don't get the fuss around this lad.

  • @smiley77pp He has a very awesome and refreshing style

  • @smiley77pp Though I agree he has no style, I don't think that he's that bad.

  • @AkvileAlex he was marketed like that, a lot of artists start off by doing covers but he is in fact a great singer & has a lovely personality unlike tons of pop divas with no personality and/or talent whatsoever n.n

  • @smiley77pp "this lad" as you call him has done other songs than just old classics, he has at least 5 pop hits he has written/co-written "Hollywood", Home", "Haven't Met You Yet", "Hold on" and "Everything". "Home" has been recorded by no less than 5 other artists that have made a hit of it too in their genres. If you think that his versions of the classic songs sound exactly the same as the originals, then you might want to go find them again, because he does have a style of his own.

  • I swear this song is the best next to a fewother sons he does but every time I listen to this song it makes me think of a few guys

  • The trumpets blaring over his voice at parts kinda killed it and he didn't show the same emotion like George Michael did with this song.

  • Sinatra did this song first and owned it. George Micheal stepped it up a notch. Buble ruined it.

  • awsome

    

  • why's it a competition between him and george?

    i love buble.

  • Amazning how there so much talent out there. Never heard of you Michael Buble, but you are good! Keep up the good work. I will be checking for your name and listening at your music. I am sure you must write your own music. wow! Well, take care and God bless you and your work ~ g2000edwin

  • I just love the song :D♥

  • 20 people hate Canadians

  • BORINGGGGGGG lol george rules

  • Michale Buble is very good. Give him credit. Sure it aint ANYWHERE NEAR George's version....but its ok :)

  • I like it. It's just a different manner of performing this very wonderful song. Buble does it with such simplicity very reminiscent of a period of time decades before George Michael. Of course George Michael is fabulous too.

  • He lacks the soulful sound that George Michael has.

  • c'est un merveilleuse chanson et j'adore Michael!!!!tu es super...

  • He's got a good baritone voice,but has no high or falsetto abilty like a lot of baritones possess,so has to back out of the high parts,George gives this a nicer haunting sound to this song.Doesn't Buble look like Matt Dillon's not so cool brother!

  • i love michael buble singing this

  • @missustamang

    yuckyy! xD

  • Obviously George's version is better he's freaking George Micheal!

    Michael Buble did a good job though considering no one can top George.

  • covering george michael's songs doesnt always end up in joy. period.

  • @dewy200884 our your one def or what. I'm not even a Buble fanatic, but I can appreciate his tone and delivery. Its rare to cover and song and be able to give it the justice that the original gave it. But Buble does a supreb job.

  • Buble' is just maaarvelous!! He is also sooo hot! I am not young either, just young at heart!! ;)

  • Indeed George's version is better :/

  • Buble's RECORDING is fantastic, but this lowered key he uses to cheat through live performances leave much to be desired.

  • eeeeeeeeeeeee George does it much much better!! Guy hide!!!!!!!!

  • @LiquidSexWax

    U said it!!!!!!!

  • @LiquidSexWax If you hate him so much, then you don't have to write negative comments about him! Geez! And BTW, Michael Buble is WAYYYY more popular now.

  • @LiquidSexWax He's not trying to out-do him. It's alright. A lot of people cover older musician's or artist's songs. It's a sign of respect, and honor. Don't worry, I'm sure he got permission.

  • @LiquidSexWax

    But George Michael is gay! Michael, isn't!

  • @bpuccia87 Oh god... SO? Does that make him incapable of feeling love? Give me a break xD They're both amazing singers, I LOVE this song and I actually think that Bublé did a really nice job with the cover. But I also think that your comment was WAY out of line, sorry.

  • @bpuccia87 What exactly does sexual orientation have to do with talent? George Michael can sing.

  • @LiquidSexWax 100% agree .... any other posers that attempt this song are just sorry wannabes.

  • are you kidding?? He does do a lot of covers but its ALWAYS some hardass song that only huge talent could pull off, songs that ordinary singers don't sing..because they'll mess it up.. he has a real quality voice. sure this is one of them. don't be angry, be glad michael buble did it, he usually only sings difficult songs others will mess up if they try, so, it is a further compliment to georgie, frank sinatra etc.. and yes, georgie is ah may zing!

  • At least I can share Buble. I can't share anything by George on facebook.

  • @SuzLa1 LOL

  • His voice is so beautiful...

  • Nobody can do it like George Micheal!

  • i can't stand this talentless fake.George Michael wrote this and performs it with originality and talent. Watch it and compare them. Buble needs to accomplish something on his own. Bubles version stinks. He's an embarassment to canada.Just because you quote Ghandi doesn't make you Ghandi . Get your own song. Then we can see what you're made of.

  • @thisguyhereok Talentless? Before even mentioning his amazing voice and song interpretation skills he has wrote countless number ones such as Everything, Home, Haven't Met You Yet so he is not talentless and he has done his own songs so you have no place to say such bold statements as you just did.

  • @thisguyhereok hahaha you might want to open your eyes and ears, Buble has written a number of original numbers and made millions of dollars touring the WORLD. Something about this says success and talent, while you are dissing him via youtube, sure you have tons of musical talent! ;) So perhaps you should study before you critic, then we can see what you're made of. :D
