The Voice is back for Season 12. The original coaches Adam Levine and Blake Shelton will return to their chairs as will Season 11 coach Alicia Keys and returning coach (and Blake Shelton’s girlfriend) Gwen Stefani. During the Season 12 premiere, the four coaches will be seen performing TLC’s 1994 song “Waterfalls.” In the middle of the song, Keys raps and then Stefani chimes in.

At the end of the video, Adam Levine says “that was it.” And adds, “That’s how you sing, America.” The video has been watched more than 35 million times, and that’s before the season premiere has aired. The Voice airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8pm on NBC. (PS: Fellow coach Adam Levine says he used to go to Gwen Stefani concerts — get a feel for why at he Gwen Stefani iTunes page.)
