When Michael Bublé and Blake Shelton duetted in 2008 and sang a stunning rendition of Bublé’s “Home,” their chemistry was off the charts. The nostalgic duet continues to win over admirers worldwide, with an astounding 40 million views to date. Many have remarked on how wonderfully the two voices mesh together. The vocal prowess of the vocalists will astound readers of Music Man; it’s a breathtaking moment in the history of live music.
Both Michael and Blake’s enchanted vocals captured the attention of the live audience throughout their performance. While Blake’s voice is more country-feeling, Michael’s is jazzier. The mix of these two vocal styles creates a duet that fans are calling the best they have ever heard. Both Michael and Blake sing the touching yet depressing song note-perfectly, as if it were the easiest thing in the world. It is undoubtedly a lovely performance.
The duet was a part of the one-night-only “Hit Man” event, which included Canadian pianist David Foster and several of his extraordinarily gifted colleagues, such as Michael Bublé, Paul Simon, and Celine Dion. As one of the first performers to go on stage, the latter joked with David about how similar they both looked in suits. Blake joined the two onstage as the band began performing “Home,” looking very gorgeous in a blazer and fine shirt.
Legendary soft rock singer Peter Cetera joined David onstage that evening and they sang a lovely song medley. David and Peter had previously collaborated on a number of songs (‘You’re the Inspiration’ by Peter’s former band Chicago, for example), and it’s evident that their friendship is still strong as they exchange smiles and acknowledge each other’s performances on stage. One fan says, “This is why the repeat button exists,” and we have to admit, we kind of agree.
The duet of “Home” by Michael Bublé and Blake Shelton from that same evening, though, is what has the internet buzzing. Both singers, especially Michael, whose signature, silky smooth vocals glide through the exquisite melody of the song he co-wrote, make singing with such emotion look so effortless.
