The Ultimate Crooner Anthem
Michael Bublé's 2005 rendition of "Feeling Good" revitalized the classic Newley/Bricusse standard. Featured on his breakthrough album It's Time, this track is a masterclass in dynamic control. It starts as a whisper and ends as a roar.
To sing this well, you need more than just pitch accuracy; you need swagger. The arrangement demands that you command the stage (or the microphone) with a rich, resonant tone that isn't overpowered by the heavy brass section. Let's break it down.
Phase 1: The A Cappella Intro (0:00 - 0:46)
The song begins with just the voice. This exposes every flaw. You want to aim for a "legato" feel—smooth and connected. The key is Eb Minor, which sits nicely in a Baritone's chest voice.
The Trap: Rushing the tempo. Bublé uses heavy rubato here, meaning he pushes and pulls the timing. Listen to the track and try to feel the space between the words.
Phase 2: The Groove (0:46 - 2:40)
When the bass and drums kick in, your vocal approach must change. You are now part of the rhythm section. Focus on crisp diction on words like "blossom" and "butterfly."
- Tone Color: Keep it warm but forward. Imagine smiling slightly while singing to brighten the sound.
- The "Hey": The interjections between verses should be punchy and short.
Phase 3: The Big Finish (2:40 - End)
This is where the song earns its difficulty rating. As the brass swells, you need to match their energy. The final belt on "Freedom is mine" climbs to a Bb4.
To hit this safely, drop your jaw and anchor your body. Do not strain your neck. Bublé also uses a technique called a "fall-off" at the end of the last note, sliding the pitch down rapidly for a dramatic effect.
