Michael Bublé causes a scene in NYC subway with acapella performance

Canadian vocalist Michael Bublé generated significant excitement in a New York City subway station with an impressive unaccompanied vocal performance alongside the group Naturally 7. The pop vocalist displayed exceptional talent, his magnificent voice creating a pleasant bottleneck of transit users, all displaying evident enjoyment. Bublé delivered "Who's Lovin' You" from his collection To Be Loved, which also gained substantial online appreciation, with the recording attracting 5.6 million views. The rich vocal blends from Naturally 7, similar to church choir sounds, significantly enhanced the presentation.

Bublé, known for unplanned public displays, expressed clear enthusiasm about the event. Following the performance, he remarked, "That was the most incredible experience ever. This confirms your success. Performing in the New York subway represents a tradition spanning decades. I consider this the most genuine, natural method of creating music. You observe some globally renowned musicians coming here to perform."

He noted that the structural features improved the acoustics, stating, "The tiles provide excellent sound reflection. Among all media obligations in Europe and America, this excited me most." With playful humor, the performer added in an exaggerated dialect, "I now feel like an authentic New Yorker."

Interestingly, the completely unaccompanied subway rendition of "Who's Lovin' You" achieved greater YouTube popularity than the fully produced studio version, garnering over twice the viewership. Singer-songwriter Smokey Robinson initially composed and recorded this song in 1960 for his Motown vocal ensemble The Miracles. "Who's Lovin' You," which expresses regret over a dissolved relationship, was published as a secondary track to their first Motown success "Shop Around" and also became independently successful.

Beyond becoming one of the group's most beloved selections, numerous famous performers have since interpreted it, including The Temptations, The Supremes, Human Nature, John Farnham, and Jessica Mauboy. The Jackson 5 recorded the most recognized interpretation in 1969, featuring Michael Jackson as lead vocalist. This version, released alongside "I Want You Back," reached the top position on the Billboard Hot 100. Additionally, 12-year-old Shaheen Jafargholi delivered a memorable performance of this song during Michael Jackson's public memorial event.

"Who's Lovin' You" appeared as a track on Bublé's eighth studio collection To Be Loved. This Bob Rock-produced work contained ten classic songs plus four original Bublé compositions. The release became Bublé's fourth straight album to achieve the top position on the Billboard 200. It repeated this achievement in the UK and became the third highest-selling album that year.

Naturally 7 served as the opening performers on the To Be Loved Tour, and Bublé performed "Who's Lovin' You" at each concert throughout the tour. Fans wanting additional Michael Bublé content can follow his YouTube channel. They can also check his official website for further details.
