Queen Latifah’s Reaction Has Fans Wondering About a Possible Steal
The performance immediately caught Queen Latifah’s attention. In the preview, she enthusiastically praised the singers for their stage presence, vocal control, and ability to bring Evanescence’s powerful rock anthem to life.
Queen said the pair performed exceptionally well together, making the decision difficult. Her reaction has raised an important question: could she use her remaining Steal to keep one of Adam Levine’s singers in the competition?
Each coach has limited opportunities to save a contestant who loses a Battle. Queen’s decision could therefore make a major difference to the future of either singer.
Dakota Cohen and Destinee Monroe Deliver Two Different Strengths
Although both contestants tackled the same challenging song, the coaches noticed different qualities in their performances.
Riley Green praised Dakota’s impressive vocal moments while highlighting Destinee’s ability to command the stage as if she were performing at a major rock concert. His comments made it clear that both singers had delivered memorable performances.
Kelly Clarkson also offered a detailed assessment. She praised Destinee’s commanding opening and described Dakota’s approach as more tender before the song built into its powerful chorus. Kelly indicated a slight preference for Dakota, while still expressing admiration for Destinee.
Adam Levine faced the difficult task of choosing between his two team members. He praised Dakota’s distinctive voice and power, while describing Destinee’s vocal strength as one of her biggest assets.
With both contestants receiving strong feedback, Adam’s decision is unlikely to be easy.
Will Queen Latifah Save the Singer Who Loses?
The biggest question surrounding the preview is whether Queen will use her remaining Steal. If Adam chooses one contestant to advance, the other could become available for another coach to save.
Queen’s enthusiastic reaction suggests that she was impressed by the performance, but praise alone does not confirm that she will press the Steal button.
The outcome will depend on Adam’s decision and whether Queen decides the losing singer would be a valuable addition to her team.

The Battle is scheduled to continue on Monday, October 26, on NBC, with episodes available to stream on Peacock the following day. Until the episode airs, fans will have to wait to discover who advances and whether Queen makes her move.
Who deserves to win this Battle: Dakota Cohen or Destinee Monroe? Both singers have demonstrated impressive talent, but only one can be selected by Adam Levine. The possibility of a Steal could make the result even more exciting for viewers.
