Chris took me to see Michael Bublé in Atlanta!!! It was, seriously, the BEST concert I've ever been to in my entire life. He didn't tell me until we were finding our seats at the Atlanta Symphony Hall. It was such a great surprise. Bublé sang so wonderfully and his crowd interaction was freaking awesome, the best I've seen. There was a comedian who was the opening act, and Bublé tied in some jokes with the comedian's jokes. It was very funny.
People were taking pictures (illegally) and Bublé stopped after one of his songs and said, "Now... I know they said no flash photography... but you don't really care do you?" and there was this lady standing up near where chris and I were sitting taking pictures of him at that very moment and he looked right at her and said, "YOU!! You don't even care, do you?" and she said no and kept taking pictures, and Bublé was like, "that's it!" and he put the mic down and came over towards the lady like he was gonna fight her, she started running toward him to get a hug, and then he started running away, but came back towards her and hugged her and started dancing with her as the band played some music in the background. Then he took a picture with her (right in the middle of the concert) and they danced a little more and she grabbed his butt!! I was so jealous. He went back to the mic and was like, "that.... was great!!" I wish I would have known to bring my camera.
He also said he was going to quit singing jazz. He said he decided he'll go into opera, and that he was gonna "kick Josh Groban's ass". Then he proceeded to sing, in an opera voice, "I Will Survive". Then he was like, "actually, i think i'll become a pop star" and he sang Maroon 5's "This Love" and little bit of Michael Jackson's "Billy Jean". It was hilarious and lots of fun. Right as he was getting back into singing a regular song he sang "my milkshake brings all the girls to the yard..." and then went on to his normal singing voice and normal songs.
When Bublé got to the song, "Save the Last Dance for Me" he stopped and pointed at a girl near the front who was shaking her booty in the chair, and said something in regards to her and said, "you know, a lot of people say to me after the show, 'i wish we could have danced!" and i say, 'well, why didn't you?' if you want to dance, that's what these aisles here are for, go ahead, get up and dance" so people did, and I would have if Chris would have danced with me. I think I might get him to attend some dance classes with me.
Anyway, I wish you could understand how awesome this concert was by my words, but it's obvious that my words do no justice to a Michael Bublé concert. Just trust me when I say it was the BEST concert I've EVER been to. It was sold out, and Chris had to get the tickets off ebay. The original tickets where $60, so I don't even know how much Chris paid for them. He's crazy in love with me.
