No.

Yep deffo

Since he has removed his mullet,donned the Iggy styles leather kecks and written tunes with Bob Dylan he is ripe for a ------------- ???Good Kicking ????

I'm not familiar with his music but the excellent film "Office Space" gives him a good kicking. Essential viewing for Bolton haters.

Some items of recieved musical wisdom exist for a damn good reason and the collective scorn held for the likes of Michael Bolton, Kenny G and Emerson, Lake and Palmer is rightly non refundable.

...it raised a laugh from me, anyway!!

Mais je crois que le output de Michel Bolton est completely indefensible.

Who you callin' vieux...

No way, Bolton must be stopped from making music at all costs and must be exterminated right now. Make this madness stop!

And you can take Shakin' Stevens and stick him where the sun don't shine.

Is he any good?

hear a word against Shaky.

...I once met a bloke in a charity shop who claimed to me "I taught Shakin' Stevens a guitar chord" when I had one of those early albums he did with The Sunsets in my hand. Even that lofty claim is perhaps more likely than a guy at a boot sale a few years back who swore blind to me that he got up and had a jam with Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix at the Flamingo Club!

Interestingly (or not) the former manager of Shakin' Stevens and The Sunsets is a regular face at a local boot sale I always frequent.

First it was Phil Collins, then Mick HucKnall, the Lighthouse Family and now it´s Michael Bolton. Are you having a laugh ? I´m all for irony and whatyamacallit as the next man but where does it all end ? Spandau Ballet ?
Let´s talk about books, cinema, music, poetry , art, face-painting, WWII, human embryos. Anything , anything but this.

were when Mrs. F persuaded me to take her to see Michael Bolton at the Wembley Arena. Two hours of relentless, unmitigated dirge. Crap covers of great songs and OTT emoting in place of singing. Ghastly. I'll defend Phil Collins (great tunes, good writer) and Mick Hucknall (great voice) but I draw the line at Michael Bolton. What next? Foster & Allen: their influential and pivotal role in the nu-folk movement?

(Come to think of it, Mrs. F also got me to take her to see Foster & Allen up in Stoke. That was the second worst 2 hours of my life.)

Micky,Micky,Micky based on the above evidence he must have caused the destruction of more marriages than research on Uganda (see Private Eye). From my experience it is very rare that man and wife enjoy the same music and putting either together is like petrol and dynamite. Asking for trouble. I wish I could understand what any one can enjoy in the works of Michael Bolton, but thankfully there is a lot of other music I can enjoy and just ignore him.

Michael bleedin' Bolton ???? He can't sing, he just shouts! Separated at birth from David Hasselhof, how on earth can anyone put themselves and their loved ones / neighbours listening to that? AND he dares to try to sing classic style love songs, with absolutely no trace of style, subtlety or feeling.
For those misguided musical cretins that actually like his 'music', just try Michael McDonald. Now THAT is a singer, friends..

in that he can hold a note and follow a tune.

However (he says quickly before the kicking starts) it's all technique and no emotion, soul, balls, or any reason to listen apart from using it as a story to tell your children if you don't want them to become corporate record company marketing executives. (Imagine if your career depended on Michael Bolton selling records. You'd give it all up and go live in a cave, wouldn't you?)

Put him in the same bag as Mariah Carey, then tie an old aga stove to said bag, which is then to be turfed in the nearest deep body of water. The sound of Carey and Bolton drowning... that I would pay money for.

...although I really loathe his output, he has a technically fine voice but he lets you know about it and over-emotes to the point that, as you say, there's actually no emotion in it. His version of 'When A Man Loves A Woman' is particularly bad, and 'Can I Touch You There' achieves the remarkable feat of being a serious contender the worst song title, worst song and worst video of all time!!
