Blake Shelton & Gwen Stefani Join Voice Coaches For Brooks & Dunn Duet
Before The Voice‘s 17th season kicked off, coaches Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, John Legend, and Kelly Clarkson united with host Carson Daly for a performance. The group sang the 90s hit “More Than Words,” which was released by the rock band Extreme.
The performance was intimate, and the coaches had minimal instrumental backup.
That performance made it clear how well the four coaches work together. So when Shelton, Stefani, and Legend all stopped by to visit The Kelly Clarkson Show, they decided to orchestrate another collaboration.
A Little History Behind “Neon Moon”
This time, the group sang one of country music’s most iconic songs…“Neon Moon” by Brooks & Dunn.
Brooks & Dunn released “Neon Moon” in 1991 as a single from their debut album Brand New Man. After its release, the song went on to top the country charts in both the U.S. and Canada.
Recently, the duo remade the song for their album Reboot, which features reworked versions of their biggest hits. Kacey Musgraves joined them for “Neon Moon,” and the recording earned a wealth of praise.

The Voice coaches’ rendition of “Neon Moon” also deserves compliments. The quartet performed the song as part of the “Kellyoke” segment of The Kelly Clarkson Show, during which Clarkson puts her own spin on other artists’ songs.
Since it was her show, Clarkson opened the performance.

One by one, the other coaches joined in, starting with Shelton, Stefani, and finally, Legend.
Each coach got the chance to sing solo for a little while before they all united and sang together. Daly strolled out on stage to join them mid-performance, and played guitar while they continued to sing.
The coaches’ rendition of “Neon Moon” was enchanting, so check it out in the clip below. We hope to see the four of them collaborate with each other again in the future!
