DALY: Adam needs two more artists to fill his team
while Alicia, Kelly, and Blake each have one spot left.
- Yeah! - KELLY: I know the battle rounds are coming up,
so I'm looking for people that are different
and that will elevate the rest of my team.
That was from the soul, like, down here,
like, "Watch out!"
Your voice sounded like perfection to me.
I am so beyond stunned.
I'm sorry. I'm totally gonna cry.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
I'll be over here. [Laughter]
DALY: Who will get the final spots...
My team is full!
...and the opportunity to work with our superstar coaches
- in the upcoming battles? - Yes!
DALY: Find out right now!
Let's see if the first artist of the night
has what it takes to fill a team.
I'm Genesis Diaz, I'm 19, and I'm from Miami, Florida.
My parents were born in Cuba, and I was born here,
so I'm first-generation Cuban-American.
[Speaking Spanish]
My parents were both in the same band in Cuba
for their whole entire childhood.
And my mom came to America
to pursue her singer-songwriter dream.
And then, a few years later, my dad came in a sailboat
that he made himself for the same thing.
He risked his life. He's my hero.
Doing music here is a lot harder than in Cuba,
so both my parents, they had to give it all up for us.
So, this is definitely an American dream coming true.
[Speaking Spanish]
[Singing indistinctly]
I sang once when I was 6, but I didn't really know
I had it in me until, in high school,
I joined a band called The Band Sisters.
I was in that band for about a year,
and we would play in restaurants, charity events,
but I just wanted to explore the soloist world.
After high school, I would just do little gigs around Miami.
"The Voice" is the biggest opportunity I have ever gotten.
I've had the greatest support system
[voice breaking] any human can ask for, which is my family.
They've given up so much for me so I can be here.
Sorry.
Having a chair turn, just one...
it would just mean the world to me,
and I just want to make them proud.

What is your name?
I'm Genesis Diaz, I'm 19 years old, and I'm from Miami.
Genesis... that's my son's name, too.
- Ooh. - Really?
That's incredible.
Genesis, well, you want to be with a leader or a follower?
[Laughter]
I was the spark, and Blake came smoldering after.
So, you should remember that when you're picking your coach.
I think you're tremendous.
What are your biggest influences?
Alicia, um, my first song was "If I Ain't Got You," so...
Oh, my gosh.
...it means a lot just being right here in front of you.
Oh, my gosh. You are so beautiful.
And you are so unique, so I'm so excited for you.
- Thank you for your love back. - Thank you so much.
- Yes. - Thank you.
[Applause]
- Did you say you're from Miami? - Yeah.
The only thing that makes me a little bit nervous is,
Adam looks like he works at a resort in Miami right now.
So, I'm afraid there might be some sort of a connection.
Genesis, I have one spot left on my team,
and wouldn't be possible for me to be happier
for you to be the person
who completes Team Blake this season.
[Cheers and applause]
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you, guys, too.
Yes. You may be seated.

Go ahead, Adam. I'm sorry. Go ahead.
You weren't just cranked up to 11 the whole time.
When you were soft, you were soft.
When you were in your false, you were in your false.
I really started thinking about all these ideas
and all of these ways in which you can thrive on this show.
You are amazing.
[Applause]
That is a big song, and you nailed those notes.
Also, something about you is just so captivating.
- Thank you. - Genesis, who do you pick as your coach?
[Audience shouting]
Come on, Genesis!
♪♪
Come on!
Uh...
I'm gonna have to pick...
Come on.
- ...Adam. - Yeah!
Boo!
Genesis is awesome.
Singing any song that's that dramatic
requires a big voice, and she had it.
Super, super talented.
You did such a beautiful job.
She did a really great job, but I have a lot of singers
that are kind of similar to her,
so that's the only reason why I didn't turn.
This is incredible. I can't believe it.
Ha-ha!
[Laughter]

DALY: Coming up, Kelly can't take it anymore.

DALY: Welcome back to the blind auditions.
Let's meet the next artist of the night.
SHARANE: My name is Sharane Calister.
I am 24 years old, and I am from Des Moines, Iowa.
I grew up mainly on gospel music.
My grandma forced me and my twin sister to be in the choir,
and then we just grew to love it,
and I couldn't sing without her.
My childhood was difficult.
My parents dealt with substance abuse, so me and my sister
lived with our grandma from 3 to 6 years old.
But she got really sick,
and, um, she just wasn't able to take care of us,
so we got placed in foster care.
And at age 10, I was adopted,
but my twin sister was not able to live with me,
and... it hurt.
[Voice breaking] Being away from your twin is so hard, you know?
Sorry. [Sniffles]
Growing up without your siblings,
growing up without your parents,
was like taking away my life.
But when I got to high school, the best day of my life
was the first day in choir class
when I see my twin sister there.
[Chuckles]
SHANICE: For five years, I didn't get to see my sister.
There was times where I didn't want to go home,
you know, because that's the only time I got to be with her
was at school.
SHARANE: I was pretty happy that we were able to experience
music together again.
After high school, I wanted to study music,
but unfortunately, I wasn't able to afford it.
Now, I'm a security guard.
They let me perform if I need to take time off.
So, I love my job, but if I could do music full-time,
I would be the happiest girl in the world.
I am singing "Make It Rain" by Ed Sheeran.
The song has so much meaning to me.
Make it rain... like, make all the pain just come out.
So, I'm gonna release all my pain out on that stage
and leave it there.
You only have one left.
One left. You too, right?
Yeah.

[Alicia laughs]
Alicia Keys. She was like, "Kelly!"
- [Laughs] - What's your name?
My name is Sharane Calister.
I am 24 years old, and I am from Des Moines, Iowa.
Yeah.
Oh, my God! Go, twin!
I'm gonna tell you, I turned around not because...
I mean, she was hilarious. She loves you, obviously.
She yelled at me to turn around.
But it's disrespectful
when you don't turn around for someone
- with that kind of talent. - Yes, Adam.
So... So, I tur... You didn't, either!
You didn't, either.
[Applause]
It took me forever just because I am weary from getting, just,
not picked when this girl turns her chair.
[Laughter] I didn't read, like, the life-coach book
before I came out. I don't know.
I can obviously tell you're a fan of her. There you go. Yep.
I'll be over here. [Laughter]
I have never in my life heard someone...
say things like that before.
- 'Cause I'm broken, y'all. - Alicia, look what you did, man.
- You broke Kelly Clarkson. - I'm broke. You broke me.
I didn't. Okay, let me tell you something about Kelly Clarkson.
[Cheers and applause]
ALICIA: Come on. Tell her.
Tell her about Kelly Clarkson, Adam.
Kelly Clarkson... number one... is a saint!
- That's true. - She sings like an angel,
or like a lion... whatever she feels.
[Laughter]
And by the way, she is absolutely incredible.
Don't you love Kelly Clarkson?
[Laughs]
I do love Kelly. I'm a big fan of you, so...
- Okay. Thank you. - I love your voice.
So, you're sayin' there's a chance.
[Laughter]
That was so powerful.
Your voice sounded like perfection to me.
The low notes were so passionate and genuine,
and then when you went high, it was like bangin'.
Whatever your journey has been
has absolutely led you to be able to share
that type of performance.
Can you tell me a little bit about your story?
I'm adopted. Me and my twin sister got separated.
I wasn't able to grow up with my family.
I wasn't able to grow up with a mom or a dad.
I was finally able to actually see my twin sister
and actually be with her at the age of 18,
so I just put all of that... that pain into my music.
Okay.
You go, twin!
I'm sorry. I'm totally gonna cry.
- But I'm not. - I'm gonna cry.
But that was a really remarkable story.
That's what makes great artists...
having all those hurdles
and just see what you're gonna do with those cards,
and I-I'm curious.
- Does your sister sing? - She sure does.
Wait! Will you be on my team?!
Yes! I sure will!
[Laughter]
Okay. For God sakes, who do you pick as your coach?
Please. I-I-I need you.
I would love to have you on my team.

You're amazing, incredible.
I love you, Kelly...
but I have to go with Alicia.

DALY: Welcome back to the final night of the blind auditions.
Hi. [Laughs]
This is crazy. This is, like, a dream come true. Oh, my gosh.
I'm Dallas Caroline.
I'm 17 years old, and I'm from Santa Rosa, California.
TARA: Dallas was actually named after a country song...
Alan Jackson's song "Dallas."
It's kind of funny because
now Dallas wants to be a country artist.
DALLAS: So, I started singing when I was 8,
and I started playing guitar when I was 12.
In eighth grade, I started homeschooling
because I wanted to be able to really devote to my singing.
She would, you know, stay up late and play guitar
and write music, and it would just seem to be
the only thing she wanted to do.
This is in her heart. This is in her soul.
We wanted to support her all the way.
DALLAS: Last summer, I took the high-school proficiency exam
and I passed, so I'm a high-school graduate.
Last June, I was able to play CMA Fest in Nashville.
To be around country-music superstars
and play the same festival as them
was such a dream come true for me.
Last October, my hometown was hit with
the second-biggest wildfire in California history.
There was a lot of lives lost.
I have so many friends who've lost everything,
and while it's so devastating, it's also beautiful
to see the community come together and help each other.
I'm singing "Always On My Mind" by Willie Nelson
to represent my community and just be able to say,
"You're always on my mind."
ADAM: Try to fill it up.

The boots, the song, the Blake, the Kelly, the me.
I don't know about how this looks for me, but you are so great
and I believe that... Were you nervous?
- Yes. [Chuckles] A little bit. - You were nervous,
'cause you were literally shaking in your boots.
[Laughs]
But the core of... of who you are as a singer is there.
When I see cowboy boots, I usually run for the hills,
but... I don't care... I'm gonna fight for you, Dallas,
because you're awesome, and you should be on my team
- 'cause it will be different. - Thank you so much.

We only have one more person available on each of our teams,
so that says something about your talent, so there you go.
- Thank you. - That's awesome.
This is a nerve-racking situation. I've been you.
But I will say, you have a beautiful quality
that is missing in country music.
I know you got boots on.
I've been to his shows. I've sang with him onstage.
I see all the girls like, "Oh, my God, Blake."
Well, I love country music, too. I've sang with Reba.
- I've sang with Jason Aldean. - Hey, by the way, I'm Adam.
I'm Adam. I just want to let you know I-I, uh...
I pushed my button, too.
[Laughter]
I'm gonna give you a number, Blake... 7,476.
What do you think that number is?
If you say it's how many words I just said,
- I'm gonna kick you. - It is!

You know what? You talk just as much as me!
For God sakes, can I talk to Dallas?
Can I talk to Dallas? Can I talk to Dallas?
- Shut up. - Can I talk to Dallas?
You should be an auctioneer.
[Imitates auctioneer] Sold to Blake Shelton!
[Laughter]
Hi, Dallas. When I see somebody young like you
performing "You Were Always On My Mind"...
I mean, that's one of
the most sacred country songs of all time.
And I can go, "Wow, there's our next LeAnn Rimes.
- There's our next Tanya Tucker." - Thank you. Oh, my gosh.
"There's our next hero in country music."

PRIDE: I chose the name Pride because it's the way you live your life
that you should really take pride in
and that will really, like, create results for you.
I'm Allen Pride Bowser.
I'm 24, and I'm from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
My parents divorced when I was 8,
so we moved back to my grandmom's.
My grandmom was, like, everything for me.
She taught me how to read. She taught me how to write.
She taught me how to cook.
My mom was like his third parent,
and she gave him a keyboard
and said, "Learn this, and stop getting in trouble."
That was his outlet to really express hisself.
I started singing at my grandmom's church,
and I really loved it,
but as I matured, I did hit a low point in my life.
When I was 17, I got into an altercation
trying to protect one of my friends.
I got sent to this disciplinary high school.
My grandmom really wanted me to become a person
that was able to deal with these things
without lashing out at school.
So, I started taking pride in who I am
and got, like, straight A's.
I was able to graduate early,
and I performed at my graduation.
So, I think my grandmom is proud of me.
She was always there for me i-in various ways.
Um...
Hold up, hold up. Wait.
Can I just get a moment, here?
So, right now, she's, um...
she... she has stage-four cancer.
It went to her brain.
So, she just completed radiation yesterday.
She really wanted to be here.
Even though my grandmom can't be here,
I know she's home praying for me,
so I hope I'm making my grandmom proud.
Right now, I really just want to get on the stage and perform.
I'm ready to go.

to really make it happen.

I'm from right outside Philadelphia.

JACKIE: If you go to Philly and not try the cheesesteaks, you're not doing it right.

Hey, I'm Jackie Verna.
I am 22 years old, and I'm from West Chester, Pennsylvania.
[Laughs]
I am a country-pop artist.
I was the little girl who would jam out to Britney Spears
and Kelly Clarkson in my bedroom.
My biggest goal is to be an Alabama cheerleader.
I applied to the University of Alabama,
and I got in.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to go
just because...
I got in a car accident.
I just remember waking up
on the floor of the passenger's seat,
hanging half out of the car.
And the next thing I remember,
I'm getting put into an ambulance
and I wake up the next morning in a hospital.
I just see the entire left side of my face in these bandages
and I'm just wondering what's underneath.
[Sniffles]
The muscle tissue was ripped apart.
My nose was broken.
I also had a head injury
that left me with short-term memory loss.
I didn't know if I would ever do music again,
and it wasn't because I couldn't sing,
but it was because I was so scared
of what people were gonna be looking at.
The head injury... it took about two years to recover from.
My aunt, one day, came and brought me a keyboard.
I saw a sparkle in her eye
when she put her fingers on the keyboard.
From that day on, she didn't stop playing.
Just getting that confidence back, it was a long time coming.
But music is what I've loved my whole entire life.
It's like, literally, music therapy.
- And it's what gave me... - Wow, that's so powerful.
...the drive to just keep going.
Right.
To get a chair turn would bring me full circle
because I've struggled so much with self-image.
So, for that to happen, would be so cool and so awesome.

I do not understand how I just got away with that one.

DALY: Welcome back.
This is an intense amount of just, like... 'cause I'm the only one.
You just take your time, sister.
[Laughs]
DALY: While Kelly tries to keep it together,
let's see if this next artist... 35-year-old Amber Sauer...
has what she's looking for.
Growing up, I was moved by all of the big divas...
the Arethas, the Chakas, the Whitneys, the Mariahs.
And I grew up in Paradise, California...
super small, country town.
I knew that there was something bigger out there for me,
so in August of 2009, I packed up everything I could
and moved to Los Angeles.
Within my first week of being in L.A.,
I got my first gig, which was with Natalie Cole,
which led me to sing background vocals
for Angie Stone, Kelly Price.
One thing just led to another.
I'm constantly amazed when she calls and goes,
"Dad, I'm on tour," and it's like, "Wow."
She has moved forward despite all the challenges.
I've always known I was adopted,
and I have two of the most loving adoptive parents.
But I struggled with wondering where I came from
and how that contributed to the person that I am today.
I knew I had a sister... same mother, same father.
And of course, I struggled with why our birth mother kept her
and gave me up for adoption.
[Voice breaking] I always felt like there was something wrong with me.
Maybe I wasn't good enough?
In 2009, I met my biological family for the first time.
It was the most nerve-racking and happiest moments of my life.
MOLLY: Getting to know her
and being able to see her follow her dreams is pretty amazing.
- I'm so proud of you. - Thank you.
