Levine Picks Voice Contestant After 'Changes' Cover

Dakota Cohen's striking cover of Black Sabbath's "Changes" earned her a spot on "The Voice" during Monday's Season 30 Blind Auditions. The 25-year-old contestant's performance of the 1972 ballad deeply impressed coaches Adam Levine and Riley Green, who both turned their chairs by the song's conclusion. Levine expressed immediate interest, stating the song choice alone made him want Cohen on his team.

Cohen's decision to join Team Adam was further influenced by a prior positive encounter with Levine, where he had encouraged her singing years ago. This performance took on particular poignancy, as Ozzy Osbourne, who originally sang the song, passed away in July 2026 at the age of 76. Following his death, "Changes" saw renewed attention on music charts, making a primetime cover of his tender vocal especially moving.
