“Home” Like You’ve Never Heard It: Blake Shelton & Michael Bublé’s Duet Heals a City — and Breaks a Heart
LOS ANGELES — Under soft lights and a sky heavy with sorrow, Blake Shelton and Michael Bublé stood side by side onstage at the “Voices for Hope” Benefit Concert, a one-night-only event to raise funds for communities devastated by the recent Los Angeles Immigration Riot. But the moment that will live forever in music history came when they performed a song that had already carried so much emotional weight — “Home.”
“Another summer day / Has come and gone away / In even Paris and Rome…”
“But I wanna go home…”
Their duet blended country grit and jazz warmth in a way no one could have anticipated — like two worlds meeting under the same sky. Tears flowed freely, but the moment that truly shattered the room came when the camera slowly panned to the audience and landed on one familiar face: Miranda Lambert.
Seated quietly in the third row, the country star — and Blake’s former wife — dabbed her eyes with a tissue. She had once shared the stage and that very song with Blake during their years together. To hear it now, in this setting, with him singing it beside someone else — and for a city in mourning — seemed to unlock something buried deep inside.
“It was the look of love once lived, of memories folded away like stage clothes,” one concertgoer told reporters. “You could feel her heart cracking — and you could feel her pride in him, too.”

For Miranda, the performance wasn’t just a reminder of the past, but a symbol of how far they had all come — separately, and together.
Later, Bublé told the press:
“We didn’t just want to raise money — we wanted to give people something they could feel. Home has always been about longing. Tonight, it became about healing, too.”
Blake, when asked about the emotional weight of the performance, simply said:
“We’ve all been through a lot — me, this city, and the people in it. Music’s the only thing I’ve ever had that could carry that kind of hurt and make it feel like hope.”
