Phoenix Suns newcomer, Dario Saric, is Michael Bublé with a basketball—nothing spectacular, but he gets it done.
Bublé made a choice in his rendition of the Mariah Carey classic, All I Want for Christmas Is You. He decided to take the upbeat toe-tapping tempo and driving piano through-line and slow it down. Way down. Taking the ultimate Christmas party thumper and marketing it a melancholy reflection of longing and loneliness during the holidays.
The lyrics are the same but the approach differs.
Maybe it’s a personality thing. Or maybe Bublé just isn’t capable of keeping with the breakneck pace and vocal athleticism of Mariah Carey.
