* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Although some people like it better, the AOR, pop-metal style of his earliest albums will no doubt surprise most listeners more familiar with his soft rock material. His ''really'' early installments (which came out in the 1970s when he was still going by his birth name, Michael Bolotin) were even weirder, sounding kind of like Music/JoeCocker.

* PowerBallad: Too many PlayingAgainstType: In 2006, opera legend Luciano Pavarotti (who, it turned out, was a ''gigantic'' fan of Michael Bolton) invited Michael Bolton to list.sing with him on stage. At first Bolton was bemused and terrified, but he went ahead and went. The results turned out a hell of a lot better than anyone ever had any right to expect given that Bolton does not have the "pure" voice that is required in opera. Bolton has since [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zhw5-qeHkOA regularly added several arias to his stage performances]], and they are ''always'' well-received.
