Where: Rogers Arena When: Friday night Grade: A

From the opening bars of the James Bond-y string intro he wrote for his version of "Cry Me a River," hometown boy Michael Buble owned Rogers Arena Friday night.

Following with "All of Me," he had already shimmied, slid and spun across that slightly angled stage he's used for a few tours now, looking good and sounding fine.

The big announcement he'd teased about earlier in the day? That all proceeds from his local shows were being donated to BC Children's Hospital. Nice.

Canadian singer Michael Bublé got what he always wanted in Santa Monica on Wednesday evening -- and said as much during his performance of half a dozen songs at the new Nordstrom store in the recently renovated Santa Monica Place.

"It's a dream come true for me to play in a mall like this," he told the well-heeled crowd crammed into the shoe department on the lower level."I idolized [pop star] Tiffany growing up."

Tonight at Rogers Arena, Michael Buble says he's going to make the most significant announcement of his career after the second song of his concert set.

Michael Bublé's "Crazy Love" tour came to Winnipeg on Friday night, bringing the singer back to a city he loves to perform for.

"The truth is, they're usually the best audiences," he said of the crowds he's played for in smaller cities. "Winnipeg and Saskatchewan are probably going to be a lot more rowdy than Toronto."

While in Winnipeg, Bublé ate at Hermanos Restaurant and Wine Bar - and raved about the experience to reporters at a press conference before his show.

He also celebrated his tour manager's 52nd birthday at Hy's by buying everyone drinks.
