"Hollywood" Michael Bublé

"Hollywood" is a 2010 hit song by singer/songwriter Michael Bublé and pianist/songwriter Robert G. Scott.

A snarky ode to the California entertainment mecca of Tinseltown, "Hollywood" is the fifth single from the smash Bublé album, Crazy Love.

Michael Bublé says that the catchy pop single, originally titled "Hollywood Is Dead", is a well-intentioned statement on today's rampant celebrity culture.

"People will do anything for their 15 minutes, and you have to remember who you are and why you wanted it.  At the end of the day, you should be careful.  You might get what you wish for," states the Canadian pop/jazz superstar.

"Hollywood" was originally planned to be released as a stand-alone single later on because the song did not fit in with the rest of the album's typical Bublé style.

The song is very pop.  So pop, in fact, that it sounds like a Lennon/McCartney composition --- which is totally cool with me.

I love this new Bublé sound.  The artist's technically-detailed voice goes well with the quick twists and turns of the melody.  He sings it like he owns it.  Jazz is hip, but I prefer the more pop-tinged Bublé, personally.

The music video for the "Hollywood" single was directed by Rich Lee and, if you ask me, it fashions Michael Bublé into a bit of a sexy Hollywood star himself.

How totally ironic.
