The late Leonard Cohen was honored Monday night (Nov. 14) when contestant Ali Caldwell covered his song, “Did I Ever Love You?,” from the 2014 album Popular Problems.

Coach Miley Cyrus — who referred to the song as a “cosmic coincidence” — was up on her feet dancing, as was Alicia Keys. The entire performance ended in a standing ovation from all four coaches.
“That was a real moment,” said Keys. “This song choice couldn’t be better timing.”
“I’m proud of you every single time,” said Cyrus. “I told you this song was a little bit scary. I’m happy that Leonard was able to hear this.”
