JOE FRYER: You could call it a coaching duet.
GWEN STEFANI: There's nobody like Celine.
JOE FRYER: Gwen Stefani is teaming up with a mentor, known for her voice-- Celine Dion. Music to Gwen's ears.
GWEN STEFANI: To get like the prize right here, everybody is going to be so mad, the other coaches, that I got you.
CELINE DION: Yes.
GWEN STEFANI: Oh.
CELINE DION: Yes.
GWEN STEFANI: So excited.
JOE FRYER: When we sat down with the duo, it was less of an interview and more of a concert.
CELINE DION: That's why singing is so fabulous, that's the story of-- that's the story of Gwen.
GWEN STEFANI: Honestly, I've never met anyone like this girl here.
JOE FRYER: How well did you guys know each other before this?
CELINE DION: Well, I know Gwen very well. I mean I know her career. I know how beautiful she is all the time. And I'm still jealous that this is-- I can't see one thing.
GWEN STEFANI: I'm just not going to say a word. I'm just absorbing this moment right now.
JOE FRYER: If Adam Levine and Blake Shelton have a bromance, then this is a galliance. Celine even gushed over Gwen's style after buying a gold jacket from Stefani's L.A.M.B fashion line and getting quite the reaction when she wore it skiing.
CELINE DION: I hear people screaming, hey, we love your outfit.
JOE FRYER: She's clearly a big fan of you. I'm guessing you're just as big a fan of her.
GWEN STEFANI: You know what? I'll tell you what I think about her. I am blown away by her unbelievable story. To end up, like, having this unbelievable gift, to be able to speak through music, to the whole world.
CELINE DION: Gwen, I need love.
JOE FRYER: Is this what it's always like?
CELINE DION: I'm crazy.
GWEN STEFANI: I've heard music all day long. Like her brain, I don't know what's going on in there. But it's crazy inside there. And it's awesome.
JOE FRYER: A golden dream team passing along their wisdom.
CELINE DION: Even though I've been in the business for so long, I'm still learning.
JOE FRYER: While singing each other's praises.
CELINE DION: When I need you--
GWEN STEFANI: Oh, Gwen I need you?
CELINE DION: I just close my eyes and--
JOE FRYER: Two music superstars, truly giving a voice to The Voice.
