0:06:17 > 0:06:20And then she just started following us on Twitter
0:06:20 > 0:06:21and the whole family's come to the show,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- Dannii and I have sung a duet together at a show.- No!
0:06:24 > 0:06:26It's a crazy, crazy, crazy world.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28You're like the third Minogue sister.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Yeah, kind of the disowned one. - LAUGHTER
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Because it's strange. With all the tributes,
0:06:33 > 0:06:35when I talk to you all and I'm looking at you, it's kind of spooky
0:06:35 > 0:06:39because I've met Kylie before and spoke to her and it's so uncanny.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41But that was one hell of a performance, that -
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- let me tell you that.- Thank you.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07Are you competitive yourself?
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Look, I think everyone here is so super friendly and it's a great
0:07:10 > 0:07:13atmosphere, but I think deep down everybody kind of wants to win.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- Absolutely.- I'm watching my back.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17If Bruce Springsteen is behind me.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Kylie Minogue, everybody!

0:07:52 > 0:07:56I've been singing as Michael Buble for around seven years now.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Singing to thousands in my hometown theatre was probably
0:08:01 > 0:08:03the highlight of my career so far.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08I've performed in many different countries around the world,
0:08:08 > 0:08:09but never on TV.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14I just can't wait to go out there and be the best Buble I can be.

0:08:51 > 0:08:55# Toys in every store
0:08:56 > 0:09:01# But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
0:09:01 > 0:09:06# On your own front door
0:09:06 > 0:09:09# A pair of hop-a-long boots and a pistol that shoots
0:09:09 > 0:09:12# Is the wish of Barney and Ben
0:09:12 > 0:09:15# Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
0:09:15 > 0:09:18# Is the hope of Janice and Jen
0:09:18 > 0:09:23# And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again
0:09:23 > 0:09:28# It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
0:09:28 > 0:09:32# Everywhere you go
0:09:32 > 0:09:38# There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well

0:10:48 > 0:10:49You all right?
0:10:51 > 0:10:52How are you doing, all right?
0:10:53 > 0:10:57So, when you are not being Canada's favourite crooner, who are you?
0:10:58 > 0:11:01My name is Pete. And I'm a Paddy McGuinness tribute.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04You look it. Yeah.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08- You've got more hair.- Yeah, just about.- OK, where are you from, Pete?
0:11:08 > 0:11:13- I'm from Wales. I live in Spain right now. So...- OK, all right.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Is that where you kind of perform, you do all round Europe?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Yeah. I sing all around the world. I'm really, really fortunate.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23But my base is Marbella. I sing there a lot, too.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25In fact, they don't even know me as Pete over there,
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- they just call me Buble.- Really? Yeah.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Did you always start off as Buble or were you someone else first?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Yeah, I did, yeah. My brother-in-law is a Robbie Williams tribute.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35So he's been doing it for a long time,
0:11:35 > 0:11:39- like for 35 years or something. - I don't think Robbie's 35, is he?
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- Just checking. - And he suggested that I try it out
0:11:43 > 0:11:46and I gave it one go and here we are.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Well, it's absolutely fantastic.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- Give him a round of applause. Michael Buble, everybody!- Cheers.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53Thanks, Pete.

0:12:05 > 0:12:09- How was that? How was that? - That was absolutely beautiful.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12You can tell he puts so much work into his singing.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16- You sounded even better than the real thing.- Ooh!- Marry me!
0:12:16 > 0:12:17Ooh! Ohh!
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Wrong show. Wrong show, Adele.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22CHEERING
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Tributes are everywhere.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01- What do you do in the day, Stevie? - Sit on the settee, watch the news.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06People have thought that I was Britney's mum,
0:13:06 > 0:13:09because I'm obviously a lot older than Britney.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Merry Christmas to you, Ned Sheeran.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22- My family call me Jerry.- Jerry.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25And when did you decide to sort of let loose your inner Bruce?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27When did you start performing?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29I've been doing the Springsteen thing for about four years.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Yeah, I wanted to do a Springsteen tribute for quite a while
0:23:32 > 0:23:35and I finally got my act together, so to speak.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36So you're a big fan of Bruce Springsteen?
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Yeah, I've been a big fan for most of my life. Yeah.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Some friends and things turned me on to Bruce Springsteen
0:23:41 > 0:23:42when I was quite young.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- And do you follow him when he tours?- Yeah, I did.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07So six-year-old Jack thinks you are Bruce Springsteen?
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- He thinks I'm Bruce Springsteen, yeah.- That'll be hilarious,
0:24:09 > 0:24:12especially if you ever meet the real Bruce Springsteen
0:24:12 > 0:24:13and he's calling him Daddy.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15You'll be like, "Whoa, what's going on here?"

0:28:13 > 0:28:16I went to watch his band, Beady Eye,
0:28:16 > 0:28:18and the next thing you know Liam pops in,
0:28:18 > 0:28:20having breakfast in the morning with him
0:28:20 > 0:28:24- and three years later jamming with him in Hamburg backstage.- No?!- Yeah.

0:29:10 > 0:29:12I'm a massive Beatles fan and, like,
0:29:12 > 0:29:15from the tone of his voice to his mannerisms, he just got it spot on.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18And, do you know, I would've loved to have seen the real John Lennon
0:29:18 > 0:29:20- and I kind of feel like I have now. - Yeah, he was amazing.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Everyone loved it. Our tributes, everyone.
