WATCH: The Voice's Blake Shelton And Usher Duet With An Emotional Version ...

The coaches performed Michael Buble's hit to raise money for the victims of the Oklahoma tornado

Following the tragic result of the tornado that ripped through Oklahoma earlier this month, celebrities gathered for the Healing In The Heartland' benefit concert to raise money for those who were affected by the natural disaster.

Included in the group of celebrities, who attended the benefit were The Voice coaches Usher and Oklahoma native Blake Shelton - organiser of the event - who took to the stage for an emotional duet of Michael Buble's hit 'Home'.

As Blake and Usher sat side by side as they sang, the audience cheered when Blake asked the audience: "Is there anybody in the world cooler than Usher?"

Check out Blake and Usher's performance:

However, Blake and Usher weren't the only ones who performed for the audience as Miranda Lambert also took to the stage. However, the star was so overcome with emotion that she had to choke back her tears as she sang her song The House That Built Me.

In the days that followed the tornado, Blake and Miranda performed a tribute on The Voice. Speaking about their reasons for doing so backstage earlier this month, Blake told E! News:

"There was a lot of different things we could have done as a tribute to Oklahoma. I'm from Oklahoma and Miranda's from Texas, but we both live in Oklahoma now as we speak and my home is in Oklahoma. When this is over with tonight, I'm going to get on an airplane and fly back there."

Explaining his reasons for deciding to perform 'Over You', Blake continued:

"We decided to do a song we actually wrote in Oklahoma that's about my family...and it just made perfect sense to do that particular song. We're just trying to raise as much awareness to the fact that there's still suffering and hurting back there and hopefully [viewers] picked up the phone and made a donation to the Red Cross."
