Blake: Beatboxing his Bon Jovi cover. I think I liked it better the first time through. He seemed a bit out of breath. Not wearing a vest. Doesn't look comfortable in a sports coat, tho.
Jordin: Singing Christina Aguillera. I didn't care for it one bit. But I do dig the tunic top she's got on. Her hair is absolutely lifeless. Not her best - not by a long shot.
Round 2
Blake: Singing Maroon 5 - and I mean singing. It was nice. Smoove. But, urgh! Argyle sweater and striped low-rider pants???
Jordin: Go'un country singing "A Broken Wing". Loved the outfit - she's letting her AZ roots show. The song was excellent.
Round 3
Blake: Singing the finale song, "This is My Now". It's a yawner but leagues better than "Do I Make You Proud?" But the cheese of the song was overshadowed by the sparkling metallic argyle sweater vest. Looookatit glitter!
Jordin: Hey - did you know she's 17? Killer dress. Singing the finale song, "This is My Now". Did a much better job vocally with the cheese. (it's still cheese) This will win it for her.
Blake mailed it in. Melinda's got to be pissed.
Daughtry’s in the house!!!
ROCK ON!!!
Well NOW I know why someone said that song sounded like something perhaps having had Melinda in mind (the final one)...
I’d almost wager it WAS designed for Jordin and Melinda.
One of the guys who wrote it is a Christian recording artist and songwriter. Scott Krippayne. His most known song is “Sometimes He Calms the Storm” (”and other times He calms His child”) from probably about 10 years ago. He’s not doing nearly as much lately, but as soon as I heard them introduce the guys it made sense.
I didn’t even catch the other name, but it’s definitely the same Scott Krippayne. And with Melinda and Jordin both being outspoken Christians, and both having ties to the Christian music industry (both have toured with multiple Christian artists at different points doing background type stuff).
It’d make sense that given that the early predicted final 4 included FOUR girls who all tended towards Gospel/Christian music roots, AND we had two other outspoken Christians and worship leaders (Phil and Sligh) that when they announced the contest, it might have prompted some in that part of the music industry to have written something that might be more ‘geared’ to AT LEAST one of those five being one of the finalists so it ‘suiting’ them more (heck, I think many expected it to be TWO of the girls so then it’d REALLY fit)
Too bad the song wasn’t that great. I know several who submitted some...that were GREAT and NOT all cheese! Scott’s often got good stuff... :-(
Anyway, just thought that was interesting now that I’m finally seeing the show!
