will blake be loved?

3. Blake
Song: "She Will be Loved"
Me: Whoa. Blake chooses a song designed to showcase his vocals. This might be disastrous. And I'm right. I see what he was going for, but he should have opted for more of the catchy beatboxing stuff that got him into the finals in the first place. This song is all about vocals, and even though Blake might still be living off the high of the new Maroon 5 CD, he's certainly no Adam Levine. He should have learned his lesson with the mixed reaction to last week's "This Love." Plus, I think it's always a good practice to not choose songs by the same band in back-to-back weeks. He's OK on the chorus, but it safe choice that lacks his characteristic uniqueness. But he's wearing argyle, and that's always hot.
Randy: "Great song, and a very nice vocal."
Paula: "You sounded great."
Simon: "I actually wouldn't have chosen that song in the final."
Score: 7/10

OK on the chorus??? That was the worst part! Those high notes were HORRENDOUS.. ..."she WIIIILLLL be loved...." Like fingernails on a chalk board. And then the judges all said it was a good vocal. I honestly think they're hearing something different than what comes over the TV for the rest of America because THAT was terrible. I laughed outloud that he's in the top 2.
