The Flemish Michael Bublé is what he is invariably called. And there are worse people to be compared to. But for Yannick Bovy (25) the comparison is hardly far-fetched: he has the looks and the voice. Which means that the chances of this young Belgian crooner soon becoming a national and international rising star are very strong. ‘I take it as a major compliment and in a way it’s logical, there aren’t that many young crooners around’, says Yannick. ‘The timbre of my voice resembles Michael’s, but it’s not a matter of conscious imitation. I just feel completely at home in this genre. There’s a good reason that my motto is It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing.’
