Michael Bublé Expresses Mixed Emotions on Shohei Ohtani Using His Song

Canadian singer Michael Bublé recently shared his mixed emotions regarding his jazzy cover of “Feeling Good,” chosen as Shohei Ohtani’s walk-up song. With the Toronto Blue Jays set to face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series starting October 24, Bublé expressed pride and conflict when discussing Ohtani’s decision to use his song.

Bublé’s Reflection on Ohtani’s Choice

During an appearance on “The Stephen A. Smith Show,” Bublé conveyed his feelings about the World Series matchup. “I’m conflicted,” he admitted. As a Canadian, he feels a deep connection to the Blue Jays. However, he also praised Ohtani, calling him “the best ball player who’s ever lived.”

Support for the Blue Jays

Bublé identifies strongly with Canada, saying, “I bleed the red and white.”
He confirmed his support for the Blue Jays despite his admiration for Ohtani.

Ohtani’s Song Selection Process

Ohtani switched his walk-up song earlier this year, moving from Lupe Fiasco’s “The Show Goes On” to Bublé’s “Feeling Good.” When asked why he selected the song, Ohtani simply stated, “Nothing in particular. I chose it because the feeling was good.” This reflects his appreciation for the positive energy the song brings.

About “Feeling Good”

Originally composed for the 1960s musical “The Roar of the Greasepaint – The Smell of the Crowd,” “Feeling Good” has been covered by various artists since its release. Bublé’s rendition has achieved over 646 million streams on Spotify, underscoring its enduring popularity.
