Michael Bublé may be known as the king of Christmas music, but that doesn’t mean the holiday is easy for him. In a new interview with his fellow “The Voice” season 27 coaches, the singer admitted that Christmas is a “difficult time.”

Michael Bublé Said Christmas is a ‘Difficult Time’ for Him

Bublé’s Christmas songs have become so popular that they’re typically heard in stores the second the first holiday display goes up.

In a January 2025 “Behind the Mic” video, “The Voice” coaches dished about their music careers. A nerve was struck when Bublé talked about how it’s challenging to hear his songs out in the wild.

When asked about the most unexpected place they’ve heard their music played, Bublé shared, “Elevators are never a great place, let’s be honest.”

He continued, “But I can’t lie — I’ve heard a few of my songs in the elevators.”

The crooner noted, “Christmas is a difficult time for me.”

John Legend joked, “How do you define ‘difficult’? … As in lucrative?”

Bublé explained, “When I hear it, I have a hard time not … it sort of just takes over. And I get very critical of myself and I get very shy.”

“And so, like I said, Christmas is like just literally me going shopping for my wife in a perfume shop going like ‘Oh god. There I am, there I am,’” he said of the the cringey experience.

Michael Bublé and Adam Levine Have a Bonding Moment

Adam Levine returns as a coach on “The Voice” season 27 — and he and Bublé are already hitting it off.

In a video posted on “The Voice” Instagram account, the two singers bonded over their love of music — and their love for one Maroon 5 song.

Bublé asked Levine his favorite Maroon 5 song and told him that “This Love” is his favorite — and he’s sung a cover of it.

“‘This Love’ might be my favorite Maroon 5 song,” Levine said.

“I used to do it my show, you know that,” Bublé shared.

Levine noted, “Do you want to hear a confession? I’ve seen the cover of that song and you do something before the chorus of that song that I actually sometimes do.”

When Bublé performs it, he says, “Sing it if you know it” right before the chorus. He explained, “Yeah, because the audience would go crazy.”

He added, “This is a full circle moment.”

When Levine asked what his favorite Michael Bublé song is, he answered, “That’s easy,” before Levine joked, “The cover of ‘This Love’ by Maroon 5.’”

Bublé remarked as they high fived, “Dude, it’s like our brains are so … boom.”
