On \u2018The Voice,\u2019\u00a0Blake Shelton\u00a0proved that he\u2019s more than just an all-star coach on the reality television show \u2014 he\u2019s an all-star performer, too. The country crooner teamed up with pop star Shakira to put on a smashing rendition of\u00a0Lady Antebellum\u2019s \u2018Need You Now.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The duo\u2019s performance came in the midst of the first week of live playoffs on the show. Both Shelton and Shakira\u2019s teams competed on stage to win a shot at next week\u2019s Live Round of performances. Eight of the top 12 spots are up to the audience, so the coaches and contestants have been working hard to win over viewers.<\/p>\n

To ease the tension a bit, the country star teamed up with the Latina pop singer to show their contestants how the pros do it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s no surprise that Shelton has the chops to cover a popular country song. He played the lead guitar and sang a dependable lead part, while Shakira truly shined. Shakira\u2019s voice is pretty unique, so her talent doesn\u2019t automatically carry over to all genres. Fortunately, she can pull off a little country twang every now and then!<\/p>\n

\u2018Need You Now\u2019 was Shelton and Shakira\u2019s first duet since Shakira joined the cast as a judge on the show this season. Their performance came the night after Adam Levine collaborated with Usher to sing \u2018Superstition.\u2019<\/p>\n

While we love to see our favorite stars coach contestants on \u2018The Voice,\u2019 it\u2019s a nice change of pace to see them out on stage!<\/p>\n
