Blake Shelton sings with Michael Buble
Friday, March 14, 2008 – Blake Shelton has a hit single with Michael Buble's "Home," a song written by the Canadian singer. So when Buble played Nashville Wednesday night, he and Shelton met before the show.
Buble didn't expect Buble to invite him to come on stage and sing. According to a publicist at Shelton's label, the invite was entirely unplanned and unrehearsed, meaning they had no chance to rehearse.
After Buble introduced Shelton, they sat on stools and traded lines of the song. The crowd responded with a standing ovation - the first of the evening.
"I was so excited to finally get to meet Michael. He's a great guy, really funny and easy to get to know," said Shelton. "When he invited me to sing with him I was truly honored and a little nervous since we didn't rehearse. But it was an awesome experience."

Blake Shelton's 11th studio album finds The Voice advisor in a contented, one might even say homey, frame of mind. The opening track and first single "I'll Name the Dogs" sets the tone. It's a rollicking ode to domesticity that manages to make household chore distribution ("You find the spot and I'll find the money / You be the pretty and I'll be the funny") both romantic and amusing. The beat switches to hip-hop on "Money," but the sentiment ...
This six-song "Blake Shelton Live EP" seems a little odd. It's not as though Shelton had an especially noteworthy tour to document. Besides, at only six songs long, it's a relatively short document, anyhow. While it may be little more than a post-it note of a project, though, it also packs a powerful punch.
