blake cuts it up

Wow. We're off to a great start. Quick reminder that Tony Bennett (aka: "The King of Swing") is mentoring the kids tonight. He's probably the hottest 80-year-old guy in the entire world.

1. Blake Lewis
Song: "Mack the Knife"
Me: A good performance overall...by now we pretty much know what to expect out of Blake. I think he played it safe with this take on the song, with the exception of some toned-down beat-boxing at the song's conclusion. The beginning of the performance seemed a bit off, but he ended well. Bottom line? We know Blake has a pretty consistent fan base. This song should give him no problem surviving another week.
Randy: "That was a very good way to start off the evening."
Paula: "Tonight you personified jazz. You're a hip cat." (And Paula's apparently also 80 years old.)
Simon: "Good choice of song, you performed it well."
Score: 7/10 (same as Simon, I might add)
