Cee Lo Green says he'll stick with "The Voice" singing competition "as long as it's fresh."

The rapper turned singer joined the show last year as coach and judge alongside Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton and Adam Levine.

"I would like to think that we were irreplaceable, you know what I'm saying?" he said. "But the truth of the matter is, we're still working-class artists and artists can be very fickle."

Green, 37, said considers the gig a "day job" and expects that NBC has plans in place should any of the judges decide to leave. But for now he's happy to continue "building the brand of Cee Lo Green" on the popular TV series.

Aguilera's appearance on Maroon 5's hit from last year "Moves Like Jagger" has led to further musical collaboration among the show's stars. Green said he'd recently recorded a tune with Aguilera and has been in discussions with Levine.

"And I have a song for Blake Shelton that I gave to him. And I'd like to do it alongside him," he said.

And what about a supergroup featuring all of the coaches?

"Why not, man? Why not? Everybody's talented. Everybody's available and highly enthusiastic," he said. "I think everybody would be up for it, man, because it's a great idea."
