The coaches praised Cohen’s rendition of “Hemorrhage (In My Hands).”

Wearing black, Cohen moved from the song’s tender passages to its more powerful vocal sections. As the performance intensified, her stage presence became more animated, and audience members could be seen standing; Queen Latifah appeared particularly moved.

Latifah told Cohen, “It was so much fun to see you sing that song. I love that song. I was trying to stay in my seat, like, ‘C’mon, let’s go.’ Thank you for sharing that with us.”

Adam Levine said Cohen’s song selections reflected what she wanted to do and congratulated her. In a separately taped comment added after the performance, Levine said there was nobody else like Cohen on his team and described her as carrying the “rock torch” with a cool, interesting voice.

Which other rock songs were performed on The Voice?

Other contestants also performed rock songs during the episode, including songs by Evanescence, David Bowie, The Cure, Switchfoot, Blind Faith, and Elton John.

Rock performances included Destinee Monroe’s “Bring Me to Life” by Evanescence in the previous week’s Battle Rounds. Levine kept Cohen on his team, while Latifah stole Monroe for her own team.

Monroe later competed for the remaining place on Queen Latifah’s team with a performance of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity.” The song kept Monroe in the rock genre.

Lillie Kolich was ultimately saved by Latifah after performing an intimate, airy arrangement of The Cure’s “Friday I’m in Love” that changed the original arrangement.

Other performances included Brandon Diaz singing Switchfoot’s “Dare You to Move,” Kyle Davis singing Blind Faith’s “Can’t Find My Way Home,” and Brooklyn Marie covering Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.” None advanced at that stage.

Fan voting was set to bring back one eliminated contestant as the 13th finalist, joining the other 12 the following week. Monroe and the other eliminated contestants therefore still had a chance to return.
