Michael Bublé performed Frank Sinatra’s classic song “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” with a 17-year-old fan during a fun part of his concert at the Tacoma Dome arena. The audience was laughing a lot during this playful segment, but when Ben Fagerstedt started singing, the laughter turned into loud cheers because everyone realized he had an amazing voice like a classic crooner.
In the video, Ben gives Bublé a sign made by his mom, which had a funny and not-so-great picture of the singer. Bublé played along and joked about the picture, saying, “dude, your mum is brutal.” Then, he sat on the edge of the stage, sang the first line of the song, and passed the microphone to Ben. The teenager then wowed everyone with his incredible rendition of “I’ve Got You Under My Skin.” You can check out the video below, which has already been watched 1.4 million times on Ben’s channel.
Bublé was obviously impressed with Ben’s choice of the Sinatra classic since the Canadian singer is a big fan of Ol’ Blue Eyes. Ben looked like a typical tall high school student, but when he sang with a smooth, sweet voice, Bublé was super excited to see that the kid could really handle the song like a pro. The audience was also blown away by Ben’s singing, and they erupted in cheers as soon as he began.
Bublé clapped along and joined in on a few lines, but mostly he let Ben take the spotlight. The teenager showcased a deep, rich voice during the verses and completely amazed everyone when he hit the high notes perfectly. Bublé is known for enjoying moments like this with fans, and it was clear he was having a great time. You can check out Bublé singing the full song in the video below from his live DVD, Caught in the Act.
Bublé loves to sing duets with his fans during his concerts, and people online really enjoy it. They leave comments like, “Bublé is so down-to-earth for letting teens sing with him! They’re all super talented!” and “That’s awesome! These are the best kinds of musicians. I would be amazed to sing with his band!”
Bublé has openly shared how much Frank Sinatra has inspired him. In an interview with Cleveland.com, he mentioned that he is “one of the biggest” fans of Ol’ Blue Eyes. Bublé expressed that he truly understands how incredible Sinatra was as a singer, saying, “It’s like God kissed this man’s throat.”
The trad pop star added that he had learned numerous techniques from Sinatra, such as “breath control, singing on vowels. There’s some beautiful sounds that he makes, with the way he drops his epiglottis and moves his mouth.” If you would like to see more from Michael Bublé, you can subscribe to his YouTube channel.
