At his Tacoma Dome concert, Michael Bublé shared a heartwarming — and hilarious — moment with a 17-year-old fan that quickly became a viral sensation. The Canadian crooner invited teen Ben Fagerstedt on stage for a duet of Frank Sinatra’s timeless hit “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” and what began as a cheeky exchange soon turned into a showstopping performance.
The video opens with Ben handing Bublé a sign his mum made — complete with an unflattering photo of the singer. Bublé, ever the showman, laughed it off, quipping, “Dude, your mum is brutal,” before perching on the edge of the stage to sing the song’s opening line. When he passed the mic to Ben, the audience expected a fun moment — but what they got was pure magic. The teen delivered a stunning rendition of the Sinatra classic, his smooth, vintage-style voice instantly winning over the crowd.
As soon as Ben began to sing, the arena erupted in cheers. Bublé beamed with pride, clapping along and occasionally joining in, but mostly letting the young performer take center stage. Ben’s rich, velvety tone and effortless high notes wowed both the audience and the star himself, proving he’s got the voice — and confidence — of an old-school crooner.
Bublé, a longtime admirer of Frank Sinatra, was clearly impressed by the teen’s song choice. Known for his love of fan interactions, Bublé often brings audience members on stage for impromptu duets, something fans deeply appreciate. Comments on Ben’s video — which has already racked up over 1.4 million views — include, “Bublé is so humble having teens sing with him at his concerts! They’re all so talented,” and “Now that’s cool. These are the best kinds of musicians.”
Bublé has often spoken about how profoundly Sinatra influenced his career. In an interview with Cleveland.com, he called himself “one of the biggest” fans of Ol’ Blue Eyes, saying, “Basically, God kissed this man’s throat.” He credits Sinatra with teaching him vital vocal techniques like breath control and vowel phrasing, admiring the way Sinatra could “drop his epiglottis and move his mouth to create those beautiful sounds.”
