Michael Bublé gave the audience at the Tacoma Dome a night to remember when he invited a 17-year-old fan to sing with him. The teen, Ben Fagerstedt, didn’t just sing—he wowed the entire crowd with his amazing voice, proving he had the skills of an old-school crooner. The moment started off lighthearted but quickly turned into a magical performance.
The video of the special moment begins with Ben handing Bublé a sign made by his mom. The sign had an unflattering picture of Bublé, which made the singer laugh. Playing along with the joke, Bublé groaned and said, “Dude, your mom is brutal!” The audience cracked up as he sat on the edge of the stage and started singing the opening line of Frank Sinatra’s classic, “I’ve Got You Under My Skin.” Then, he passed the microphone to Ben, and that’s when the real magic happened.
As soon as Ben started singing, the audience erupted in cheers. His voice was smooth, rich, and filled with old-school charm. He might have looked like a regular high school kid, but the moment he opened his mouth, he sounded like a seasoned pro. Bublé, a huge Sinatra fan himself, was clearly blown away. He clapped along, grinning from ear to ear, letting Ben take the spotlight.
Ben’s performance just kept getting better. He nailed the deep, soulful notes in the verses, but when he hit the high notes, the crowd went wild. Bublé, who loves moments like this at his concerts, looked thrilled. He sang along here and there but mostly let Ben shine. It was the kind of once-in-a-lifetime moment that made everyone in the room feel like they were witnessing something special.
The video of this incredible duet has been viewed 1.4 million times on Ben’s YouTube channel. Fans online loved the performance, leaving comments like, “Bublé is so humble letting teens sing with him! They are all so talented!” and “Now that’s cool. These are the best kinds of musicians. I’d be floored to sing with his band.”
Bublé has always been open about his admiration for Frank Sinatra. In an interview with Cleveland.com, he called himself “one of the biggest” Sinatra fans and explained how much he has learned from the legendary singer. “I have a true understanding as a vocalist of how magnificent he was,” Bublé said. “Basically, God kissed this man’s throat.” He also shared some of the vocal techniques he picked up from studying Sinatra, like breath control and singing on vowels. “There are some beautiful sounds he makes, with the way he drops his epiglottis and moves his mouth,” he explained.
