Bublé: 'I didn't understand Susan Boyle'

Michael Bublé has admitted that he initially didn't understand the hype surrounding Susan Boyle.

However, the singer explained that he would now like to work with Boyle, who he described as "lovely".

"I didn't understand Susan Boyle," he told the Daily Express. "I was cynical and critical because I had never seen her in that first show where she comes up and says, 'I want to be a singer' and the audience looks at her and says, 'Oh please!' I got goosebumps.

"I'm going to go when this record comes out and buy 20 copies... because what a beautiful story of an underdog. It gives me faith in the human condition that we still have that kind of feeling that we actually want the good guy to win.

"It killed me. It really is a beautiful, beautiful story."

Bublé also praised Boyle's success after she rose to fame on reality show Britain's Got Talent.

"It's proof that they can be more than just a flash in the pan," he said.
