t’s no secret that Blake Shelton has many memorable performances under his cowboy belt. But no one can deny that one of his most legendary career highlights was when The Voice Coach collaborated with jazz’s slickest vocalist, Michael Bublé, for a jaw-dropping duet of the hit “Home.” Once upon a time, two of jazz and country music’s best vocalists teamed up for a chilling performance.
Let’s rewind, shall we? The year is 2008, many years before Shelton decided to take a seat in the red chair as a Voice Coach. Canadian musicians David Foster and Bublé were performing for a concert when they introduced Shelton to the stage for a duet of “Home.”
Bublé penned the tune, releasing the track on his 2005 album It’s Time. The song is centered around building a home and missing your family, making it the perfect candidate for a country Artist like Shelton. Shelton released a cover of the song in 2007, included on his album Pure BS. Shelton and Bublé were natural collaborators, making their 2008 live show a treat.

Shelton and Bublé look like babies in the throwback video, where Shelton smiles while approaching the stage. The pair instantly clicked as they started the song, with Bublé’s silky vocals and Shelton’s rustic timbre making for the perfect combination. Shelton and Bublé tease each other throughout the ballad and allow their vocals to speak for themselves.
Not a single note was missed throughout the show-stopping duet, with Bublé and Shelton’s harmonies sounding like butter as they slid between verses. From their smiles alone, it’s evident they were having fun with the performance while simultaneously sounding like angels. It’s always exciting when two vocal legends collaborate, making Shelton’s duet of “Home” with Bublé a must-watch for all Voice fans. Years later, Shelton prepares for his final season as Coach, and Season 23 is bound to have some exciting performances just like this.
The Voice Season 23 premieres Monday, March 6 at 8/7c on NBC and next day on Peacock. After that, watch The Voice on NBC Mondays at 8/7c and Tuesdays at 9/8c and next day on Peacock.
