The Voice season 23 premieres on NBC on Monday, March 6, and before the competition heats up on the stage, the coaches took a moment to perform a collaboration together. Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, Chance the Rapper and Niall Horan performed Frankie Valli's "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" in a recent video shared by the show.

The judges sat in a circle on the stage to perform, each taking turns to sing the classic 1967 tune. Each singer took a line during the first verse of the song, and Shelton immediately infused his signature humor, singing the romantic lyrics directly to Horan. Chance the Rapper then brought the group into the chorus, showcasing his soulful voice, and Clarkson, Horan and Shelton followed him.
The singers continued through to the end of the song, continuing to laugh as they sang to one another. A standout moment in the tune came when Clarkson belted the classic chorus and Chance the Rapper added his own harmony. The four coaches then sang the final notes of the tune together in harmony.
The collaboration gives a taste of what is to come from the judges on season 23. The new season is welcoming Horan and Chance the Rapper as coaches for the first time, and it is the last season for veteran judge Shelton, who has starred on the show since the inaugural season on 2011. The show has shared a few interviews and previews to give fans insight into the new season, and although this is Shelton's final run, Clarkson won't be letting up on the competition.
In a recent promo clip for the show, Clarkson said in regards to Shelton, "I won last time, I'm wanting to win again. I know it's the cowboy's last season, but I'm not going easy on you."
Shelton responded, "It's exciting to have Kelly back, because when she's gone, I really don't have anybody to truly fight with. When she's here, the fight is on."
The Voice airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on NBC.
