Michael Bublé is now a famous Canadian singer, songwriter, actor and record producer.

His first album reached the top ten in Canada and the UK, but the whole world got to know him a lot better after his 2005 album It’s Time. As the superstar that he is, it’s expected that Bublé makes many public appearances.

But the unexpected happened when he invited a 15-year-old fan to sing with him.

You’re about to hear just how unexpectedly good the boy can sing.

The adorable scene is a clip from Bublé’s ITV documentary This is Michael Bublé during one of his Birmingham shows.

The popular musician was just about to perform “Feeling Good” when he noticed a woman in the audience signaling something and waving. She wanted a word, and Bublé was intrigued. When she got her spotlight, the mom said her son has just turned 15 and he would love to sing with Bublé. Even so, she explained that her son was hiding.

The son is Sam Hollyman, and it’s been almost 10 years since he got the chance to join Bublé on stage.

Hollyman later released his own take on the classic hit that got him famous. The boy who timidly shared a stage with Bublé is all grown up now with 24,000 subscribers on YouTube and plenty of interesting performances worth checking out.

Still, let’s not get ahead of ourselves!

Bublé eventually invited Hollyman on stage, and the boy finally comes up.

Hollyman is humble and visibly nervous. Bublé seems like he has no expectations at all—he clearly just wants to do something nice for a 15-year-old boy. Still, even he was pretty surprised at how good the performance was!

Bublé sings the first line of the song and then gives the mic to Hollyman.

After hearing Sam’s voice, Bublé can’t help but say “wow.” He jumps up and down in excitement, and even lifts the boy in his arms.

Then he asks the band to start the song all over and gives Hollyman the spotlight.

We loved the moment when he practically pushes mic in Hollyman’s hands instead of holding it for him. It was a nice way to tell him that the stage was all his. Before long, the audience was going crazy for Hollyman, and all we could hear were screams of joy.

It’s safe to say that no one expected this little fellow to have such an amazing voice, which he controls effortlessly.

His mom must be proud! It’s really beautiful to see Bublé doing more than singing the best Christmas songs on Spotify. What he did for this guy will stay engraved as one of the best impromptu duets ever.

They shook hands and hugged after the show.

I’s easy to get nostalgic every time we remember that it was a beginning for someone young, talented and full of hope. Bublé reacted like a proud dad would, and the sincerity in his gestures was enough to bring a tear to the eye.

In the end, the audience loved every moment of it!

After accumulating 28 million YouTube views, it’s safe to say Hollyman’s popularity grew over time.

We just hope that this young man will continue on his path. We’re guessing that he’ll make his mother happy for many years to come!
