You almost had me fooled

Told me that I was nothing
without you

And after everything
you've done

I can thank you for how strong
I have become

'Cause you brought the flames
and you put me through hell

I had to learn
how to fight for myself

And we both know all the truth
I could tell

I'll just say this is
I wish you farewell

I hope you're somewhere
praying

Praying

I hope your soul
is changing

Changing

I hope you find your peace

Falling on your knees,
praying

Oh, sometimes,
I hope you find your peace

Falling on your knees

Praying

Find your peace, praying

[ Cheers and applause ]

Oh, no!

No.
He's disqualified.

[ Laughs ]

[ Gasps ] Oh, my God.

You got Adam!

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.

[ Cheering ]

Thank you. Thank you.

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!
