The Voice judges Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton, Adam Levine and Pharrell performed their version of Drake's latest hit "Hotline Bling" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday (Oct. 26). But "Hotline Bling" wasn't the only song that the quintet performed during the tongue-in-cheek marathon of various tunes.
The main premise of the segment was a musical rendition of teen favorite "Spin The Bottle," but the contestants instead had to pass the microphone around. Instead of a kiss each contestant was forced to sing the following song written on a card. In short The Voice judges didn't seem thrilled about the game, but played along with Fallon anyways.
Adam Levine had to go first with his own take on "Oops I Did It Again," by Britney Spears and as he took the stage was told by Fallon that, "He already looked stupid," but Levine seemed to take the whole thing in stride and opted to do the song in an off-key voice. Stefani's arrow then landed on "YMCA" by the Village People, "No I'm definitely not singing this, Blake is going to sing this," Stefani said just before Shelton gave it a surprisingly enthusiastic spin, warming up for their duet that occurred a few spins later.
The highlight of the game was by far when Stefani and Shelton agreed to do a rendition of "Hotline Bling," with Stefani pushing Shelton to embarrass himself on TV one last time. The "Used to Love You" singer seemed to know the words to the Drake song far better than Shelton and did a nearly perfect cover of the hook. Shelton, however, did not fare so well and awkwardly said a simple "Bling... bling," meekly into the microphone as Fallon laughed.
