[[Michael Bublé]] (pronounced Boo-Blay) is a [[Canadian Music|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 [[Grammy Award|Grammys]]. He sang the [[Spider-Man (film)|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.
