[[Michael Bublé]] (pronounced Boo-Blay) is a [[Canadian Music|Canadian]] Jazz/Big Band singer and occasional actor from Burnaby, B.C.

Michael Bublé (pronounced Boo-Blay) is a Canadian Jazz/Big Band singer and occasional actor from Burnaby, B.C. Bublé is known for his easy-listening covers of popular jazz standards from the Sinatra-era, which he gives a contemporary touch. He's won seven Junos and two Grammys. He sang the Spider-Man theme played during the end credits of Spider-Man 2. You might recognize him for his Canada, Eh? performance during the 2010 Winter Olympics closing ceremonies. Jazz aficionados are not often fans, as they feel Bublé's takes on classic songs aren't purist enough, but he's won over large audiences as much with his boyish good looks, laid back charm and sense of humour as with his singing.
