Their contrasting approaches drew praise from the coaches in preview footage, while Queen Latifah\u2019s response has prompted speculation that she might use her remaining Steal on the singer Adam Levine doesn\u2019t advance.<\/p>\n<p>The song, originally released in 2003, is known for its forceful vocals and dramatic rock arrangement. The Battle asks the two singers to share the stage and shape their own interpretations while competing for the same spot in the next round.<\/p>\n<h2>Contrasting strengths<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/parade.com\/.image\/ODowMDAwMDAwMDAyNTU5NTI0\/the-voice-dakota-cohen-destinee-monroe-nup_211394_01326.jpg?profile=w2560&amp;ar=16-9\" alt=\"Dakota Cohen, Destinee Monroe\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\"><figcaption>Dakota Cohen, Destinee Monroe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The preview presents the performers as bringing different qualities to the song. Kelly Clarkson praised Destinee\u2019s commanding presence from the opening verse, while describing Dakota\u2019s delivery as tender before it built into the chorus. Levine noted Dakota\u2019s distinctive style and power, and characterized Destinee\u2019s vocal strength as a superpower.<\/p>\n<p>Queen Latifah praised both singers\u2019 performance and said the choice ahead would be difficult. Riley Green also commended the pairing, highlighting Dakota\u2019s vocal moments and Destinee\u2019s stage presence. Clarkson added that she would take whichever singer Levine did not choose if she still had a Steal available.<\/p>\n<p>That feedback underscores the challenge for Levine: the coaches recognized different strengths in each performance, but his Battle Round decision determines which member of his team moves on directly.<\/p>\n<h2>A possible second chance<\/h2>\n<p>The remaining question is whether the losing singer could stay in the competition. The show\u2019s Steal allows a coach to bring a contestant from another team onto their own after a Battle loss. The preview identifies Latifah as the only coach with a Steal left, and her enthusiastic response has led to speculation that she could use it for Cohen or Monroe.<\/p>\n<p>Her praise, however, does not confirm that she will make a move. Levine must first choose which singer advances, and the preview does not establish whether the other contestant will be stolen.<\/p>\n<p>The Battle is scheduled for the next <em>The Voice<\/em> Season 30 episode, airing Monday at 8 p.m. ET\/PT on NBC. The episode will be available to stream on Peacock the following day.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"STANDING OVATION for Dakota and Destinee\u2019s Rendition of \u201cBring Me to Life\u201d | The Voice Battles | NBC\" width=\"820\" height=\"461\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YX1edQ7igEg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WILL QUEEN LATIFAH USE HER STEAL AFTER DAKOTA COHEN AND DESTINEE MONROE\u2019S \u201cBRING ME TO LIFE\u201d BATTLE?<\/p>\n<p>Team Adam\u2019s Dakota Cohen and Destinee Monroe take on Evanescence\u2019s rock anthem in a Battle Round of *The Voice*, bringing contrasting vocal styles to the same song.<\/p>\n<p>Their performance earns praise from the coaches, but Adam Levine still has to decide which singer moves on.
