He found a worldwide audience with his 2005 album ''It's Time'', and his 2007 album ''Call Me Irresponsible'' which reached number one on the Canadian Albums Chart, the UK Albums Chart, the U.S. ''Billboard'' 200 albums chart, the Australian ARIA Albums Chart and several European charts. Bublé's 2009 album ''Crazy Love'' debuted at number one on the U.S. ''Billboard'' 200 after three days of sales, and remained there for two weeks.

When he was a teenager, he slept with his Bible and prayed to become a singer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Oprah'' interview video, "Measuring Michael Buble's success" )〕〔 Fekadu, Mesfin. (Q&A: Michael Buble talks new CD, love and religion ). ''San Francisco Chronicle'', 21 October 2009.〕 Bublé's interest in jazz music began around age five〔 when his family played Bing Crosby's ''White Christmas'' album at Christmastime.〔(MUSIC: Meeting Michael Buble ) ''New Straits Times'', 16 July 2009〕〔Hiltbrand, David. ("Croon prince: Canada's young Michael Bublé is an heir to Sinatra )", nctimes.com, 24 March 2004.〕 The first time his family noticed his singing talent was at Christmastime when Bublé was 13 years old, and they heard him powerfully sing the phrase "May your days be merry and bright" when the family was singing to the song "White Christmas" on a car ride.〔 Bublé had a strong passion for ice hockey and wanted to become a professional hockey player for the Vancouver Canucks growing up, but believed he was not good at it, stating: "I wanted so bad to be a hockey player... If I was any good at hockey, I probably wouldn't be singing right now."〔Armstrong, Denis. ("No time like now for Bublé" ), Jam.canoe.ca; accessed 10 April 2015.〕 Bublé often played hockey in his youth,〔〔Gold, Kerry. (Michael Bublé's Olympic gig ), ctvolympics.ca, 1 February 2010.〕 watched Vancouver Canucks games with his father,〔Canadian Press.(Singer Michael Buble named minority owner of Vancouver Giants ), SportingNews.com, 11 December 2008.〕 and said that he "went to every single home game as a kid... I remember I wanted to be Gary Lupul, I wanted to be Patrik Sundstrom and Ivan Hlinka. I used to think that being named Michael Bublé was pretty cool because I was close to being called Jiri Bubla."〔Pap, Elliott. ("New Giants co-owner Bublé 'eats, drinks' hockey" ), vancouversun.com, 8 December 2008.〕 Bublé shared his hockey interest with his grandfather.〔Harvey, Alec.("Crooner Bublé flying high, as is his popularity" ), Nola.com, 15 July 2006.〕 From age 14, Bublé spent six years working during the summer as a commercial fisherman with his father and crewmates.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nightline Playlist: Michael Bublé )〕〔Bierly, Mandi. ("Six Things You Should Know About Michael Bublé" ), ew.com, 4 May 2007. Published in issue No. 933; 11 May 2007.〕 Bublé described his work experience as "The most deadly physical work I'll ever know in my lifetime. We’d be gone for two, sometimes three months at a time and the experience of living and working among guys over twice my age taught me a lot about responsibility and what it means to be a man."〔 His first singing engagements were in nightclubs at the age of 16 and were facilitated by his Italian grandfather Demetrio Santagà,〔 a plumber originally from the small town of Preganziol,〔 in the district of Treviso, who offered his plumbing services in exchange for stage time for his grandson.〔 Bublé's grandfather paid for his singing lessons. One of his vocal instructors was Joseph Shore, the opera baritone.〔 His maternal grandfather never stopped believing that he would become a star. Bublé's maternal grandmother, Iolanda (née Moscone), was also Italian, from Carrufo,〔 Villa Santa Lucia degli Abruzzi, Italy. His father is also of Italian descent.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Onstage Offstage )〕 His original brush with entertainment was as a children's entertainer using the name Mickey Bubbles.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Michael Bubl� Biography )〕 Bublé grew up listening to his grandfather's collection of jazz records and credits his grandfather in encouraging his love for jazz music. "My grandfather was really my best friend growing up. He was the one who opened me up to a whole world of music that seemed to have been passed over by my generation. Although I like rock 'n' roll and modern music, the first time my granddad played me the Mills Brothers, something magical happened. The lyrics were so romantic, so real, the way a song should be for me. It was like seeing my future flash before me. I wanted to be a singer and I knew that this was the music that I wanted to sing."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bubling along nicely )〕 Bublé never stopped believing he would become a star but admitted he was probably the only one who believed in his dream, stating that even his maternal grandfather thought Bublé was going to be "an opening act for somebody in Las Vegas".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Smooth Operator )〕 He stated he never learned to read and write music, using only emotion to drive his songwriting ability.〔〔Nunez, Mike. (Q&A: Michael Buble profile ), brevard.metromix.com, 10 March 2010.〕〔Abram, Malcolm X. (Michael Buble turns on charm ), Ohio.com, 17 March 2010.〕 At the age of 18, Bublé entered a local talent contest and won. But after winning, he was disqualified by organizer Bev Delich because he was underage. After that, Delich entered Bublé in the Canadian Youth Talent Search, which he won. Following that win, Bublé asked Delich to be his manager. Delich signed on and represented Bublé for the next seven not-so-fruitful years. According to Delich, Bublé would do every gig imaginable, including talent shows, conventions, cruise ships, malls, hotel lounges, bars, clubs, corporate gigs, musical revues, singing telegrams, and even the occasional singing Santa Claus gig.〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=IMDb Biography/trivia )〕〔(), podcasts.magic.co.uk; accessed 10 April 2015.〕 In 1996, Bublé appeared in TV's ''Death Game'' (aka ''Mortal Challenge'') as a Drome Groupie. Also in 1996, he appeared (uncredited) in two episodes of ''The X-Files'' as a member of a submarine crew.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=IMDb filmography )〕 Bublé's first national TV performance was on a 1997 award-winning Bravo! documentary titled ''Big Band Boom!'', directed by Mark Glover Masterson. Beginning in 1997, he became a frequent guest on Vicki Gabereau's national talk show on the CTV network. During its first season, the Vancouver-based program aired live, which ultimately worked in Bublé's favour. When a scheduled guest was forced to cancel, the show's music producer often asked Bublé to fill in at the last minute. The Gabereau appearances provided Bublé with great exposure, but they also helped the singer hone his television skills as a performer and as an interview guest. In a mutual show of gratitude, Bublé appeared on the final Gabereau show in 2005, along with Jann Arden and Elvis Costello. Bublé received two Genie Award-nominations in 2000 for two songs he wrote for the film ''Here's to Life!'' ("I've Never Been in Love Before", "Dumb ol' Heart").〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=IMDb Awards for Michael Bublé )〕 He recorded three independent albums (''First Dance'', 1996; ''Babalu'', 2001; ''Dream'', 2002).〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=AskMen.com )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michael Bublé」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
