Michael Bubl\u00e9 knows how to make his musical heroes proud, effortlessly slipping into their styles with uncanny accuracy. From the velvet croon of Sinatra to the unmistakable vibrato of Elvis, Bubl\u00e9\u2019s talent for mimicking legends is more than a party trick\u2014it\u2019s been a cornerstone of his artistic journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Back in 2016, Bubl\u00e9 sat down with Dan Rather on AXS-TV and showcased these impressions while reflecting on how deeply he studied the greats. \u201cYou have a reputation for being a good mimic. Can you do a few?\u201d Rather asked. With a smile, Bubl\u00e9 recalled advice he once received from Tony Bennett: \u201cMichael, you steal from everybody, and it\u2019s research. You steal from one, you\u2019re just a thief.\u201d Bubl\u00e9 explained that by absorbing what he admired from his idols, he collected the essence of their techniques, slowly shaping it into his own voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He noted how Sinatra would \u201csing hard on his vowels\u201d before offering a quick, lively snippet of \u201cYou Make Me Feel So Young,\u201d a track Bubl\u00e9 would later cover on his To Be Loved album in 2013. He described Dean Martin\u2019s relaxed, open-throated delivery as something he loved, noting that Elvis shared a similar style but with a richer depth and a quick vibrato, which Bubl\u00e9 demonstrated with a heartfelt line from \u201cCan\u2019t Help Falling in Love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
