Frank Sinatra had an indisputable impact on Michael Bublé's music. In listening to Sinatra's crooner/jazz music, Michael picked up on his singing techniques, such as his breath management when singing vowels, as well as his ability to sustain notes for a long time.

In one article, it's stated from Michael himself on how Frank's prominent vocal abilities had inspired him in furthering his own singing capabilities, "...true understanding as a vocalist of how magnificent he was. Basically, God kissed this man's throat...breath control, singing on vowels. There's some beautiful sounds that he makes, the way he drops his epiglottis and moves his mouth" (Charlton, 2023).

Michael Bublé has taken and employed similar singing techniques from Frank Sinatra in songs such as "Everything" and "Home", showcasing the same vocal techniques that he praised Sinatra for utilising in his own music, including breath control and impressive sustained notes.

I grew to love how John's compositions create emotional attachments to the characters themselves, adding more to the story than simple background music. John is considered by many film critics as one of the most influential soundtrack composers in the world. I've found interest in John Williams ever since I watched the original trilogy of 'Star Wars', researching his other music pieces in films such as 'Indiana Jones' and 'Jaws'.

Antonin Dvorak was a Czech composer who had a profound influence on John Williams with the simplicity of his rhythms, which may have also inspired John to write simplier Melodies as seen in his tracks such as "Princess Leia's Theme" from 'Empire Strikes Back'. Dvorak's "Symphony 9." for example, can serve as direct evidence of his influence on John Williams' compositions, with the main theme of "JAWS" replicating the start of Dvoraks suite.

In particular, Antonin's influence on John Williams can be spotted in "Symphony No. 9 "From the New World," is a dynamic and intense composition that masterfully combines elements of folk music with the symphonic tradition...The most recognizable element of the "Jaws" score is the two-note motif that accompanies the presence of the menacing great white shark", (The Daily Jaws, 2023) which can showcase the Input that Antonin's music had on John William's film music.

Gustav Holst was an English composer in the 19th/20th century, best known for his orchestral suite 'The Planets'. John Williams stated that he had found much inspiration from Gustav's symphonic compositions, such as 'The Planet' suite itself, with pieces such as "Mars" inspiring the "Empire's March" from 'A New Hope', where he had employed strong engaging moments in the strings but also within the rest of the instrumental family; brass, woodwind, etc.

An article claims that "There are chord progressions in 'Mars' that are so similar to the 'Imperial March' that it's impossible not to hear the comparison. The same is true for the title theme of A New Hope" (Tubett, 2022), showcasing how John William's had utilised the same chord progression Gustav Holst had for his suite 'The Planets', in his musical compositions.

Growing up in a family where Michael bublé's songs were constantly played around the house, I gradually began to find interest in him and admire his musical talent. He's actually the reason as to why I love Jazz/Pop. His utilisation of accentuating his vibrato notes, made me want to pursue singing as a hobby! I love how his songs are always a mix of different genres, how you have songs such as "everything" and "Haven't met you yet", which are mixes of Pop, Seasonal and Jazz music.

Tchaikovsky stands out as another one of John William's inspirations, with his utilisation of Leitmotifs that William's had taken and employed in his film compositions. Songs popular from John Williams that can evidently showcase the use of Leitmotifs can include "The Imperial March" from 'A New Hope', "Raiders March" from 'Indiana Jones', and 'Jurassic Park's main theme.

In this article, it's states that "Tchaikovsky was a master of orchestral color, and when you listen to his score for the "coffee" interlude next to Williams's Jawa theme" (Gabler, 2023), which highlights the similarities between both pieces, due to John William's utilisation of timbre, or orchestral colour in his pieces.

Dean Martin stands out as one of Michael Bublé's original influences back when he first found his love in music. Similar to Frank Sinatra, Dean's musical talent in Jazz singing is what helped inspire Michael to pursue his musical journey. Known for his smooth baritone voice, his popular vocal style of vibrato added depth and emotion to his songs, which ultimately, Michael had taken and placed in his own music.

In one article, it highlights how Michael talked about his influence on him as a 16-year-old kid, where he first began his musical interest, "At 16 I was utterly in love with music. I was so ambitious in knowing exactly who and what I wanted to be. I was in love with Dean Martin, Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra, Harry Connick Jr, Ella and Louis Armstrong and Louie Prima, the great Italian-American singers" (Graham, 2023). Dean, as one of Michael's first influences, has stapled himself as a pivotal inspiration for Bublé.

Tony Bennett's influence on Michael Buble is well known, for not only has Michael incorporated musical styles from Tony's pieces, such as his nuanced phrasing, into his own original songs, he has also publicly stated how Tony had an impact on his love for jazz/traditional pop music.

In his post on twitter in 2023, Michael stated his love and admiration for Tony Bennett, "To say he was an important part of who I became is an understatement. My grandpa was constantly playing Tony Bennett records when I was growing up, and it was the honour of a lifetime to learn from him."(Bublé, 2023). This post stands as irrefutable evidence of the ture influence that TOny Bennett has had on Michael Buble and his Jazz/Pop music career.
