Now it's time for a song selected by "the producers." Wonder if that includes Clive Davis...
4. Jordin...is lucky enough to get a viewer question. What is your fave song of all time? Her answer is "Mmmbop." Wow. My respect for her just increased exponentially.
Song: "She Works Hard for the Money"
Me: Suddenly, I'm smitten over Jordin after learning she's a fellow Hanson fan. Seriously, though, this is an especially good performance and I like it much better than the first one. The edgy, up-tempo stuff, in my opinion, is a stronger fit for her. She's not trapped in the belting diva stereotype. Plus, this performance is edgy and fast-paced without the screaming we saw in her take on Bon Jovi.
Randy: "That was hot, too."
Paula: "You worked hard for the money tonight."
Simon: "Actually it was a very good performance."
Score: 8/10
5. Blake...also gets a viewer question. If they were to make a movie about your life, who would play you and what would it be called? "Organized chaos" starring Jim Carrey, he says.
Song: "This Love"
Me: Again, good song choice. Standard vocals, and -- wow -- the beatboxing resurfaces mid-song. All in all, I think Maroon 5 is a good match for Blake. The nice thing about this performance is that he does a nice balance of beatboxing and real singing without being over-the-top or using the whole beatboxing thing as a vocal crutch.
Randy: "Very nicely done."
Paula: "You're totally in your element. This is a good night for you."
Simon: "Actually, I prefered that song to the first one."
Score: 8/10

you forgot to mention that the judges told Blake that if he were to make an album, it would need to be with this style of music. What to you think, would he go for that? I don't know. I think he might be too edgy and punkish... would he really want to be a pop singer? But I probably would buy it on itunes.
