Beat boxing does not make you a good god damn singer..... (neither does hoopin and hollering like the "powerhouses" try to do).

And this vocal by him isn't that damn good. He's just imitating them and it's annoying.

He didnt beat box in the second song. I know alot of people dont like it but face it his fans love it. I know I felt like he was losing his identiy out there when he stopped it for a few weeks and loved when he brought it back. Its part of what makes him unique and different and its his signature. Its safe to say that there hasnt been any AI finalist like him before and he is memorable.

Oh, listen to Blake trying to sing a slow song. GET OFF THE DAMN STAGE, MORON! You're note cute! And THANK GOD "Best WEek Ever!" did that expose on what Blake will look like in thirty years. TAKE THAT, teeny boppers who are ruining Jordin's dream by supporting that simpleton!

WOW! Blake sounded great in that last song and amazing they slam him yet tell Jordan she is better than the original, this show is so rigged.

And sorry Jordan but Melinda is 500 times a better singer than you will ever be. But we will find that out once she has number one after number one.

To quote Shrek....

"Alright...you're gettin on my last nerve" Simon.....quit making excuses....you're just pissed because Melinda's not in the finale.

A versatile singer can make anything he/she gets sounds good. Blake IMO (though I love him) isn't a versatile singer. He has one thing he's good at and that's not necessarily a bad thing. However they sing different genres each week to show their versatility and he hasn't done that.

Jordin on the other hand isn't the best showperson, but she has really good vocal ability and that has proven successful (minus last year w/ that god awful Taylor.....) in the past. The singers can develop their stagepresence after they win. Kelly did it, Ruben did it, Fantasia enhanced hers, Carrie's gotten better (but she ain't great), Chris rocks, Katharine has gotten better to.

Round 1 - Blake

Round 2 - Jordin

Round 3 (Based on Blake's performance it goes to Jordin by default)

    • I do agree that I wish there was more gay representation in terms of singles. I also had hoped we'd get a Black couple since it was a Black soap and I don't know that we've ever seen that on a US soap.  With that said, it's still early days so I can imagine we'll get that at some point. I am impressed they launched with as much LGBT representation considering how US soaps can be.
    • Thank you. I know we're all supposed to see that BTG is progressive when it comes to queer characters, but it's telling that they won't commit to showcasing gay or bi males who are single and looking. That relationship couldn't be any more traditional. Will we ever get a bedroom scene with Smitty and Martin? I have my doubts.
    • This is a pretty huge thing IMO, but I guess we will see what happens? Can't get any worse then already. 
    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.
    • Jordan was gone from '87 to mid-'89. He left just weeks after Robert's late '86 return.

    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
