One of the many terrific aspects of Sandalford's Winery Concert venues in both the Swan Valley and Margaret River is that their size allows the world's leading recording acts to visit Western Australia and deliver truly spectacular outdoor shows in the most incredible natural locations.

Whether it's Sting, Simply Red, Spandau Ballet, Tears for Fears, Robin Gibb, Bonnie Tyler, Crowded House, Leonard Cohen, Lionel Richie, Tom Jones, Carole King, Ronan Keating, John Fogarty, John Mellencamp, The Motown Legends, Alicia Keys, Carlos Santana, Sheryl Crowe or Jordan Sparks, Sandalford Estate Swan Valley and Margaret River are now clearly established stopping points for the true musical megastar.

So it was no surprise then the Canadian crooner Michael Buble, who in the last few years has clearly established himself as one of the planet's leading recording artists and sits firmly at the top table of the abovementioned company of artists, travelled West to perform at Sandalford Estate.

With 25 million albums sold, a couple of Grammys (including the latest only a week or two back) and sold-out gigs across the globe, the former cruise ship singer has been transformed into a bona fide musical icon of a truly world's best standing.

Most of the gleefully expectant crowd at Sandalford Estate tonight were in their seats by the time vocal band Naturally 7 took to the stage to open the show.

The sort of band that the X-Factor is crying out for, the Americans raced through an undeniably entertaining set with an uplifting climax that was part American evangelism, part aerobics workout. As a wise man once probably said, "If God had wanted mankind to sing a capella, he wouldn't have invented instruments."

Naturally 7 is like no other a Capella group making music today. The seven group members not only sing, but also play their own musical instruments. To be more specific, the members of Naturally 7 play their own instruments by using their vocals to create the sound of instruments — drums, a harmonica, a bass and even an electric guitar.

Though the originality of Naturally 7's style was an absolute crowd pleaser, their popularity couldn't compare to that of the man of the hour, Mr. Michael Bublé.

On his website, Buble says: "One of the great challenges of a song stylist is to take highly familiar songs… already recorded by hundreds of artists and ask myself, can I bring something special to this song?"

As the lights went down and the 13 piece big band burst into a stunningly James Bond-esque "Cry Me A River" that was all nocturnal mood, screaming horns and thumping drums, it seemed as if the Canadian had risen to that challenge. Complete with dramatic instrumentation and a fantastic pyrotechnic climax, it was one heck of a way to announce yourself to the crowd. It was the most imaginative reading of a song that lost its meaning decades ago. It's already a Bublé career signpost.

Bublé attracted a diverse demographic of people to his concert at Sandalford Estate — mainly women of all ages, along with the occasional male dragged to the concert by his girlfriend or wife.

The 36-year-old singer is however certainly at the apex of his popularity, and his fans - particularly the female ones - are blindly adoring.

The term 'consummate professional' often implies a certain lack of sincerity, but Buble has charisma and personality by the bucketload. Likeable, charming and funny, the crooner did a super job of sprinkling enough local references through the show that it felt like less of a giant tour machine and exactly like a personal experience.

Bublé is not so much an interpreter of famous songs. He sings them too close to the originals to truly make them his own. A couple of examples were Van Morrison's "Crazy Love" and Ray Charles' "Georgia on My Mind."

Both songs were selections were from his recent album, "Crazy Love." He played to the female crowd, young, or, rather, youngsters, and older, which is to say, the mums in the audience. Both age groups loved it.

But the audience seemed most excitable with his self-penned hits. "Everything" was one of them, ending with an arena full of "la's" as his fans sang the fade-out. Another hit: "Haven't Met You Yet." The stylistic line seems to blur here. Is Bublé a jazz singer, performing standards, or is he a pop-music singer? Both.

Michael Bublé showcased a flawless ability to shift from one song to the next. Whether it was a lead in of the Black Eyed Peas' "I've Got a Feeling," his newest single "Hollywood," or classics such as "For Once in My Life," Bublé's vocals never wavered. The diverse singer acknowledged his similarity to Sinatra, but insisted it was Michael Jackson that inspired him as he was honing his abilities.

As the evening came to a close, Bublé ended with the biggest hit of his career to date, the radio smash, "Haven't Met You Yet" and then treated the expectant audience to the classic "Feeling Good," and Continuing with a sing along of "Me and Mrs. Jones"

No doubt for you and everybody else who attended, tonight's performance will long be remembered as another one of the GREAT shows (possibly the GREATEST??) to take place at Sandalford Estate in the 10 years since the first concert was held our at Swan Valley Estate.
