When The Voice burst onto the scene in 2011, OG Coaches Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton, and CeeLo Green joined forces for a rendition of Green's hit ''Crazy" (when he was in the duo known as Gnarls Barkley). 

How to Watch

Watch the Season 26 premiere of The Voice on Monday, September 23 at 8/7c on NBC and next day on Peacock. 

During their cover, Levine handled the introduction lyrics while the other Coaches hummed backup vocals. The crowd then went wild when Shelton started singing and Levine kicked in with the drums. Naturally, X-Tina riffed away while Shelton played his guitar with confidence.
