Michael Bublé experienced a jaw-dropping moment during his concert when he spontaneously invited fan Richy Brown onstage to sing, and Brown delivered an unforgettable rendition of “Fly Me to the Moon.” Bublé was left in awe, describing Brown’s performance as a fusion of Mariah Carey and Frank Sinatra.
What made Brown’s performance stand out was his unique interpretation of the song, incorporating jazzy scat singing towards the end, showcasing his distinctive style. The video capturing this magical moment has garnered 4.6 million views, highlighting the impact of Brown’s talent.
Prior to the performance, Bublé openly admitted that he had never heard Brown sing before, making the impromptu performance a risky move for both parties. However, Brown rose to the occasion, delivering a flawless performance that earned him praise from Bublé for his courage to sing without preparation in front of a large crowd.
Bublé is known for his penchant for spontaneous interactions with fans during his concerts, and this moment with Brown was no exception. In another concert, Bublé invited a 17-year-old fan to sing “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” another Sinatra classic, and the teen delivered a stellar performance, showcasing the enduring appeal of Sinatra’s music.
“Fly Me to the Moon,” originally written by Bart Howard in 1954, has become a timeless jazz standard, with Sinatra’s rendition being the most iconic. The song’s association with NASA’s Apollo space program adds to its significance, as it was played by astronauts during historic missions to the moon, further solidifying its place in music history.
