The chemistry between Michael Bublé and Blake Shelton was absolutely off the scale when they duetted together in 2008, singing a gorgeous version of Bublé’s ‘Home’. Having already racked up an incredible 40 million views, the throwback duet still has the hearts of fans all around the world, with many commenting on how well the pair’s voices blend together. It’s a stunning moment in the history of live music that will leave Music Man readers in awe of the vocal talents the singers share.
Throughout their performance, both Michael and Blake had the live audience hooked on their magical voices. Where Michael has a jazzier voice, Blake brought a more country feel to the track, with the combination of these two styles resulting in a duet that viewers are describing as one of the best they have ever heard. It is certainly a beautiful performance of a heartwarming but melancholic song, which both Michael and Blake sing note-perfectly as if it is the easiest thing in the world.
The duet came as part of a one-night-only concert called ‘Hit Man’ featuring Canadian pianist David Foster and some of his inordinately talented friends, including Celine Dion, Paul Simon, and of course Michael Bublé. The latter was one of the first artists to take to the stage, sharing some banter with David about how similar they looked in their suits. As the band started playing ‘Home,’ that was when Blake joined the pair onstage, looking utterly dashing in a smart shirt and blazer.
Also joining David onstage that night was legendary soft rock singer Peter Cetera, who performed a beautiful medley of songs. David and Peter had previously written numerous tracks together (they co-wrote ‘You’re the Inspiration’ by Peter’s old band Chicago, for instance), and it’s clear that they still have a strong friendship, sharing smiles across the stage and appreciating each other’s performances. “This is the reason the repeat button exists,” claims one fan, and we can’t help but agree.
It’s Michael Bublé and Blake Shelton’s duet of ‘Home’ from the same evening, however, that has really captured the Internet’s attention. Both performers make singing with such emotion look so incredibly easy, particularly Michael, whose iconic, silky smooth vocals sail through the gorgeous melodies of the song he co-wrote.
