And let's not forget the band/orchestra..they did an amazing job too. I can hear every instrument. So clear, so crisp, simply S'wonderful. And I've always listened to the song but never delved into the meaning of the song... never actually thought about what the lyrics meant. I gained a whole new respect for this song..because of Michael❤
The music is good, yes, but I still prefer more minimalist renditions of the background music, like shet baker. My main issue with this cover of the song puts too much emphasis on the music, and the words. This is a very melancholic piece that sounds best when sung softly, with soft and gentle background music. He did astounding when it came to vocal work, yes, but I feel he didn't capture the essence of the song in and of itself as due to the show-offy-ness of the vocals. Great for a talent show? Yes. Good if you want to grab the hearts of listeners? Not so much. This is my opinion, and it should not be stated as fact.
I can barely breathe. I’ve heard so many versions of this timeless masterpiece. I absolutely adore this one. I saw Michael Buble in concert, and he was beyond genius. Not to mention he was so gracious and humbled by the audience, it made him that much more phenomenal.
(Lyrics): My funny Valentine Sweet, comic Valentine You make me smile with my heart Your looks are laughable, unphotographable Yet you're my favorite work of art Is your figure less than Greek? Is your mouth a little weak? When you open it to speak Are you smart? But don't change a hair for me Not if you care for me Stay little Valentine, stay Each day is Valentine's Day Is your figure less than Greek? Is your mouth a little weak? When you open it to speak Are you smart? But don't change a hair for me Not if you care for me Stay little Valentine, stay Each day is Valentine's Day Each day is Valentine's Day
I love how while Ella Fitzgerald's and Frank Sinatra's were very jazzy and melodramatic, Michael Buble's is suspenseful and thrilling. I love all of then.
Lyrics: My Funny Valentine Lyrics My funny valentine Sweet comic valentine You make me smile with my heart Your looks are laughable Unphotographable Yet you're my favourite work of art Is your figure less than greek Is your mouth a little weak When you open it to speak Are you smart? But don't change a hair for me Not if you care for me Stay little valentine stay Each day is valentines day Is your figure less than greek Is your mouth a little weak When you open it to speak Are you smart? But don't you change one hair for me Not if you care for me Stay little valentine stay Each day is valentines day
This cover has such a sinister feeling to it. It's beautiful, but also incredibly ominous. It reminds me of an abusive relationship. The way the lyrics rip apart the "Valentine's" appearence is incredibly cruel. I emagine a man tearing down his partner, only to build them back up again. This constant shift between "you're unworthy and dissapointing" and "I love you so much, and I'm the only one that ever will." is a common maipulation tactic to keep people in relationships. It destroys the victims self confidence and makes them feel dependant on the abuser, it's horrible. This song also places a lot of expectations on whoever the valentine is. "are you smart?" Placing doubt in their mind. "Are you good enough? Are you pretty enough?" And then the song gives the answer. No. You aren't. But don't change. Stay with me, because no one else cares. You should be thankful. I've always thought this about My Funny Valentine, but I finally found a cover that fully leans into this feeling, and it's incredibly powerful. Beautiful song.
The most hilarious thing is that Billie Eilish will do the Bond song and not Michael haha Maybe one day they will realize that Mr. Buble is a perfect fit!
Did I heart it in a bond-movie maybe. OMG. That's so perfect. Michael sings perfect. And - yes - the arrangement is so absolute Bond-perfect. Wow. I like all: Song, voice, arrangement.
There’s a full moon out tonight over Hawaii. I am by myself thinking of you, Michael Buble, longing to share a cup overflowing with your favorite champagne, lonely for all of your sing-song sonatas, longing to see my smile to change our ☮️ful 🌎, one time at a time
