As season 13 of NBC’s The Voice finds its final 10, the coaches featured on the reality competition series couldn’t help but hit the stage themselves for several star-studded performances. Among those taking the stage to perform was coach Blake Shelton, who sang his latest smash, “I’ll Name The Dogs.”

Shelton wasn’t alone on stage as he was joined by fellow coach Jennifer Hudson. While Hudson is known for her powerhouse vocals, the American Idol alum kept harmony with the Oklahoma native.

The combination of the two coaches wasn’t the first time Shelton has teamed up with one of his comrades. Previously, he appeared on Christina Aguilera’s Lotus album on a song called “Just a Fool.” He’s also collaborated with Gwen Stefani for songs on each of their records, including “Go Ahead and Break My Heart” on his If I’m Honest project and “You Make It Feel Like Christmas” on her album of the same name.

The easy-going performance may have been the most stressful part of Tuesday night’s (Nov. 28) episode as Shelton’s entire team was declared safe to move on to next week’s shows. The contestant eliminated was Janice Freeman, from Team Miley Cyrus.

“I’ll Name The Dogs” is the lead single from Shelton’s latest record, Texoma Shore. Upon its debut, the album went straight to No.1, marking the Sexiest Man Alive’s sixth consecutive No.1 release.

The Voice airs Mondays and Tuesdays on NBC.
