Blake Shelton & Michael Bublé Both Recorded “Home,” And They Eventually United To Sing It As A Duet
Country singer Blake Shelton left his home state of Oklahoma to join Michael Bublé in Canada for a holiday duet of their heartbreaking ballad, “Home,” in dedication to the troops.
“Before we sing this,” said Shelton. “I know you’re very powerful, you’re Michael Bublé, and this is your special but if it’s okay with you I wanna dedicate this song to all of our men and women in the military over there lookin’ out for us right now because they’re a long way from home.”
As expected, Bublé responded “absolutely,” and they began their powerful performance. The two impressive vocalists’ voices intertwined flawlessly, making for a beautiful performance.
The “Home” duet with Blake Shelton was a part of Michael Bublé’s 2012 holiday special, Michael Bublé Home for the Holidays.
The Duo Dedicates Their Holiday Performance Of “Home” To U.S. Troops
The Canadian singer released “Home” off his 2005 album, It’s Time. Three years later, Shelton adopted the song and released it as a single.
Shelton’s rendition ended up reaching the top spot on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Today, fans know it as one of his signature songs. In fact, it’s one of the most beloved songs in his catalog.
Since “Home” is not traditionally a Christmas song, the two singers changed the lyrics slightly to make it more fitting for the holiday season.
You can watch Blake Shelton and Michael Bublé’s touching holiday performance of “Home” in the clip below. We won’t blame you if you find yourself wiping away a few tears from your eyes as they sing. No kidding, it’s that emotional. It especially tugs at the heartstrings if you’ve ever had to spend the holidays away from those you love.
Our hearts and prayers go out to all the troops who can’t come home for the holidays this year. This song is for you, and may you have the merriest Christmas possible.
