I ALMOST DID NOT BUY THIS DVD/CD BECAUSE OF THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS I READ ON AMAZON, HOWEVER AFTER SEEING MICHAEL BUBLE IN CONCERT , AND SEEING WHAT HE GIVES OF HIMSELF TO HIS AUDIENCE , I WANTED TO SEE ALL THERE WAS TO SEE AND BOUGHT IT, HOW BAD COULD IT BE? IT IS WONDERFUL , BESIDES HIS AMAZING TALENT , THIS DVD IS FUN, FUNKY , AND SO ENTERTAINING, YES THERE IS LOTS OF CAMERA MOVEMENT , WITH OFF STAGE ANTICS INTERSPURSED WITH ON STAGE MUSIC, NOT THE TYPICAL CONCERT DVD, FOR THAT GET THE WONDERFUL "CAUGHT IN THE ACT" BUT ANYONE WHO WANTS TO SEE ANOTHER SIDE OF THIS YOUNG, TALENTED, HUMBLE, GIVING, ENTERTAINER SEE THIS AND ENJOY !!! GLAD I DECIDED YES!!!
AMATUER CAMERA MAN!! - Review written on March 28, 2006

Love Michael Buble, but this was more like a home made movie of someone using their camcorder from the audience. Parts of Michael's head was cut off, and then; sometimes, his whole head was cut off. Most of the time, the camera man didn't expect where Michael was going to move to and you'll get a jerky movement of the camera man trying to get Michael back into the picture. I wish they would have said in the description that this was more of a documentary than a concert. That this was just home made videos. This was definitely not worth $20. If you want a professional quality concert, I would recommend buying Michael Buble's Caught in the Act. Caught in the Act was worth the $20 bucks. You get professional camera men who anticipated Michael's movements, and parts of his head was never cut off like Come Fly with Me's DVD. Also, the sound quality on Caught in the Act was way better. Now, I understand why some places sold Come Fly with Me DVD's and had the word enhanced after it. The DVD that I received was not enhanced. Anyways, skip this one, and get "Caught in the Act" instead.
Michael Bublé Shines Again! - Review written on May 06, 2005

Michael Bublé shines again with this wonderful CD/DVD treat! Produced by David Foster and Humberto Gatica and backed-up by a full big band orchestra, this is a follow-up to his successful and most raved-about CD "Michael Bublé."
Listening to the CD is just terrific with eight fabulous tracks, but the DVD is a real delight watching him perform twelve timeless classics and not to mention the interview footages in between his outstanding and remarkable performances.
One of the songs Mr. Bublé performed on the DVD is very memorable and brings back a lot of memories to me, "The Way You Look Tonight," which is my all-time favorite and so much a part of my life! And it is the very first non-classical piece that I learned to play on piano. I remember my sister Ruth arranged a medley of this lovely song with "Blue Moon" that we both loved to play together.
"The Way You Look Tonight"
~ Words and Music by Jerome Kern & Dorothy Fields ~
Someday, when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight...
You're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
And the way you look tonight...
With each word your tenderness grows
Tearin' my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart...
Lovely, never ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it 'cause I love you...
Just the way you look tonight.
Most of the songs rendered are included in his "Michael Bublé" CD with the exception of "Can't Help Falling In Love," "Mack The Knife," "You'll Never Know," "My Funny Valentine" and Sinatra's signature song and one of my all-time favorites, "Nice 'N' Easy," which he performed splendidly in every way. There's no doubt that Mr. Bublé is a total performer with his amazing stage presence and his marvelous voice, which is his greatest asset.
I've ordered this CD/DVD combo from Amazon.com over a year ago and that makes this review a "late-bloomer" but as the saying goes. . . "It's better late than never!"
Strongly recommended!
The producers should be shot - Review written on March 03, 2005

Take classic material, give it to a decent voice, and put video cameras in the hands of idiots and this is what you get. The editing is totally disrespectful to the material; and, then, you have to wonder why Buble didn't have the brains to realize that it's dispresectful to him, as well. Why would anyone with a measurable IQ ever consent to a project like this one, in which the goal was obviously to distract the listener's/viewer's attention from the performance? You've got to wonder.
Well, the goal was achieved. And that's for starters. It gets worse. Shameful. What a waste. Next time, Michael, hire a producer who's stopped sucking his thumb and who's old enough to drive.
