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)

    • Definitely wouldn't trust Dinah right now haha.  But that's great to know Billy comes back soon!  I'm excited for that. If he's at the boardinghouse, then I guess he does get closer to Nola perhaps, and then he'll be around Peter/Bridget and J, who is currently in his orbit along with Michelle and Dahlia, and Marcus is at the boardinghouse, so maybe they go the teenage story route most of this time until Billy gets back.
    • Sounds like me, but I prefer to be referred to as Contessa. We all know I can go a long time not paying attention to certain things.  And, if I might add, hey there dude, you effed up pretty good this time and I think this was your last chance. So don't let the door hit you in your behind as you go BYE MOMMY!
    • That did cross my mind at first, but I'd be more inclined to believe it if this didn't involve Trump. I'm not at all sure he is capable of being that sneaky. Of course, there's always a possibility I guess that his advisors are doing it without telling him, but that seems awfully risky. Trump is such a loose cannon you can never predict what he's going to do or say.
    • Whoa. She should have fought like hell to get that. Was it the greatest show ever? No, but it had a fantastic cast and was practically guaranteed to last multiple seasons because of its star power. Could have certainly led to bigger and better things. If it had flopped she could have always gone back to soaps. Judith Light broke through on a sitcom where she was basically second banana to Tony Danza. That grew into a very busy and distinguished career. The woman is still regularly booked to this day.
    • I could understand her being frustrated by the fact that she'd been in the business 10+ years at that point, and probably couldn't even get in the door. But then again, she'd already gone out for pilot season once (that we know of) and she and  her agent knew a 35-ish woman had a very difficult time in Hollywood. I know she did a few guest spots, but other than Designing Women, nothing I saw--not even a Murder She Wrote, and that show had tons of ex-soapers on it. I mean, God bless Marilu Henner, but even having been on Taxi, she couldn't get arrested for years either.
    • I didn't rewatch that period, so I'm not really sure how much Bill is on. I recall something about him living at the boardinghouse. I think Van made Matt his guardian, and why she didn't name Josh would be a mystery to me, other than the HW decided they needed to keep Bill in Matt's sphere. Nola is also his aunt, although they don't know each other well, and Van wouldn't have trusted her anyway. There's Dinah---but she's unreliable. Billy gets out of jail around NYE.

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
    • Oh good, so I don't have to wait too long haha. I'm glad she cares about seeing Bill graduate. I'm guessing I'm in for a bumpy ride between Bill and Matt, if he's going to be his caretaker? Who else could it be, maybe Josh?
