“We hope you love it as much as we do,” Pearce said about their duet.
Carly Pearce returned to NBC’s The Voice on Monday (Dec. 10) for a standout performance of “Maybe This Christmas,” joining Michael Bublé on stage.
Pearce, who had previously served as a Playoff Mentor for Team Bublé, performed with the fellow GRAMMY winner during the first night of the show’s finale. This marked the television debut of their holiday collaboration, which was released late last month after the two connected on the set of The Voice.
Michael Bublé began the performance seated on a stool next to a grand piano. As he sang the heartfelt first verse, dim candles illuminated the intimate setting, while fog gently rose from the stage.
Carly Pearce joined in for the second verse, seated across from Bublé on a stool, mirroring his position. As the performance reached its emotional climax, the two stood and moved to the center of the stage, with snow falling around them.
The setting was ideal for the poignant Christmas song, which perfectly captures the bittersweet emotions that can arise during the holiday season.
In her verse, Pearce offers a message of hope to those spending the holiday season alone, singing, “You’ve been running through my mind/ No matter how I try/ When the bells on Saint Pat’s start to ring/ And it’s so hard for me to hear/ You’re alone this time of year/ And the bitterness that that cold must ring/ And you’re sitting in the dark/ And it’s falling all apart/ I’ll be lighting up a candle for you/ I know it’s sad to be alone/ I wish you joy and peace and hope/ Wish you all the love that your heart can hold.”
Pearce and Bublé’s performance of “Maybe This Christmas” was part of the first night of The Voice finale, which also featured a special appearance from Martha Stewart and a performance by Season 24 winner, Huntley.
The season will wrap up tonight with the second finale episode, showcasing performances from Dan + Shay, Kelly Clarkson, Myles Smith, Riley Green & Ella Langley, and Tears For Fears.
