With two more rounds of singing to go, I'm putting all my eggs in the Blake basket. This boy is an artist and a songwriter. He understands music and its nuances. He can fill a stadium electric. It's about time American Idol puts in a performer, one who fearlessly redesigns his songs and not just one who'd belt them out—those are a dime a dozen. Let's find those who'd leave a legacy of music, not just singing.And such a gentleman. Given the chance to sing last, decidedly a better slot, he opts to let Jordin choose.
Even if he doesn't win, he'd have a good career.*
Team Villa is divided on the issue; The Coach leaves the room when Blake sings. He's a Melinda Doolittle fan, like I am. I tell him mixing is an art, and so is beatboxing. (And then he turns on the other TV.)

*Postscript: Yeah, give the boy a ballad he can't sing, and let Jordin, who sang nothing but, run away with tears at the end. Don't get me wrong: I do like Jordin and she's fantastic, but I'm up to here (see me slash my neck) with mere singers.
Postscript ad nauseam: Oh man, that Chris Daughtry should win tonight, hands down. Love him.

The Coach's Wife: certified Blaker Girl. Just like Paula Abdul. Ü And is it just me, or did some make-up artist applied some thin eye make-up on Chris Daughtry?
Alvin: Thin? That was some heavy eyeliner! :) Loved Melinda Dolittle in tonight's show: she can sing with the best and can hold her own. She rocks!
