Michael Bublé: 'F*** the critics'

Michael Bublé has launched a broadside against his detractors, claiming that he will lash out at the next critic who calls him a "cheesy crooner".

The Canadian singer said that despite his nice guy image, he also has a nasty side and won't take criticisms of his music lying down.

"I think I'm a nice person but it'll only be a matter of time until someone tries to take away my dignity on film or on a radio station and I'll knock 'em out and then people won't think I'm the nicest guy in music anymore," Angry Ape quotes him as saying. "I absolutely will knock 'em out. It's just a matter of time my dear, it's just a matter of time."

Referring to a journalist who recently described him as being "as cheesy as a quesadilla", Bublé continued: "F**k them, what else can I say?

"Why doesn't that little bitch that wrote that try and write a song? Which they wont be able to do and that's why they're sitting behind their little computer, eating their little chips and writing that hateful s**t. Why don't they write their own song and see what they can come up with?"
