These are the same tracks from Totally Buble which was released without Buble's consent.

"Totally Buble" is not an album that I wanted to be released. They were songs I recorded for a film called "Totally Blonde" many years ago before I was signed to 143/Reprise Records. The decision to release it as an album was made by the film's producer, and I had no control over stopping him.
It is important for everyone to know, that I only want to release quality music to my fans by offering my best work and I sincerely apologize if you purchased this album." - Michael Buble

If you're reading this you probably have all the Sinatra tunes presented here. They are, without saying some of the best. Consider buying it for the Buble numbers that are up to par with his best work. Listening to them side by side is quite enjoyable. Funny there was no advance publicity on this one.

I was disappointed in the quality of this cd. Especially the M. Buble. Not a good buy at this price.

I expected this to be a duets album, where they magically blend the singers together. It was just alternating recordings by Sinatra and Michael B. Being a Sinatra fan, I already have plenty of his recordings, and some of the recordings on this CD were before the Nelson Riddle days (not great orchestration). Of course, Michael B is always enjoyable. I was just expecting a duet album.

Since I have loved everything that Michael Buble has done, I was intrigued to order one with him & Frank Sinatra performing. His style & Sinatra's are so similar. I love the CD & confess that I am enjoying Buble's songs even more than the one & only Sinatra!

This is an excellent collection of Frank Sinatra and Michael Buble recordings, although all of the songs can be obtained from other sources. If you like both of these artists, this is a good CD for you.

I absolutly adore Michael - he is the top performer of our current decade. Sinatra ruled and now it's Buble's turn! Talented just doesn't cut it when referring to Michael. Just a suggestion - perhaps you can perform a duet with Renee Olstead...your styles are complimentary to one another and I will purchase a ton of your duet CD's!!!! Love you, Michael and thanks for providing me with the milleniums newest and brightest talent!!!!

I saw it, I wanted it, I got it sent to my house fast
item as described and I am happy.

I understand that Michael's songs are available on the Totally Buble album, and I also understand that Sinatra's songs are available on other albums. So what's the big deal? If you, or someone you know, enjoys both of these fine crooners, and the "swing" style of song, then get the album!

I have a hard time believing that Michael would say such things as mentioned above - especially because the reviewer didn't cite the exact location of such statement in print or online. He's just not that kind of person to say such a thing seriously. (He may have been kidding around, as it's much like him to do so.)

Either way, songs like "That's How It Goes" and "I Get A Kick Out Of You" are true classics, and can be a major relief during a long car ride or even while prancing around cleaning the house. No matter - they're great songs, great music, and great voices.

These are the same songs from Totally Buble.
From review of Totally Buble
Although this CD is Michael Buble who does have a great voice, and shows to be a big star some day, he DID NOT wish to have this CD released! This is what he had to say about it himself:
