AI Recaps-May 22nd
Blake and Jordin Perform
We’re down to the homestretch. We have two contestants, three performances, and one sickly sweet coronation song that will probably give us cavities. The final two, Beat Box Blake and That’s So Jordin! are ready to rumble for the American Idol Crown.
First, Ryan looks like his hair has been a bit Blake-rized, and he’s wearing a pin-striped mafia lawyer suit. But he’s not the only fashion disaster. Randy Jackson is dressed as Sgt. Pepper, if Sgt. Pepper was a pimp. Paula “A Broken Nose is the New Black” looks like she’ll be joining Ann-Margret and Nancy Sinatra in entertaining the troops in Vietnam. And Simon Cowell, not surpisingly, is sans tie.
After Paula clears up “Tulipgate,” we are treated to Blake and Jordin’s journey to this very moment. Interestingly enough, it’s Seattle, not the south, that reigns supreme. Blake and Jordin both auditioned in Seattle, and Blake is even from the Seattle area. And the songwriters who wrote the coronation song are from Seattle. It’s Starbucks over sweet tea.
After a coin toss of fate, Blake decides to sing first. Hmm, whatever happened to ladies’ first....
First Performance
Blake (You Give Love a Bad Name)-I really liked Blake’s energy throughout this performance, and the beat boxing actually worked. Blake is a definite entertainer, and you can’t take your eyes off of him. However, compared to contestants in the past, he has one of the weakest voices. How will this translate to a CD?
Jordin (Fighter)-Christina Aguilera has such an amazing voice, I shuddered at the thought of Jordin tackling this song. But Jordin’s voice sounds really good. However, her performing skills were a big pile of meh. Jordin is a fighter, and I’m a fighter, too, a fighter of boredom. Her voice is great, but will she be able to handle an actual concert on her own?
Second Performance
Blake (She Will Be Loved)-Parents, let Blake’s life story be a lesson to you. If you don’t want to hear your kids beatboxing, buy them a drum kit instead. I wish Blake would have chosen up tempo Maroon 5 song. This song just showed how thin and reedy Blake’s voice is. However, I liked his interaction with the audience and his love of performing.
Jordin (Broken Wing)-This was way too much of a Miss Cornhusker pageant performance. I thought Jordin made this song too treacly and she sounded kind of screechy in some parts. However, I can tell the judges really want her to win with their relentless tongue baths.
Third Performance
Blake (This is My Now)-Eesh, ballads are really not Blake’s thing and he really doesn’t sell this song to me. He seemed weirded out while singing out it, and the bopping around in the middle looked rather ridiculous. I was afraid the coronation song might trip up Blake, and I was right.
Jordin (This is My Now)-Not surprisingly, AI’s graduation song of 2007 suits Jordin so much more, and we even got a few touching tears out of the girl. I thought her voice sounded great, and she really held that glory note.
I really have no idea who is going to win this thing. Jordin may have gotten the kudos from the judges and she definitely did a better job with the coronation song, but we might be surprised, and Blake could be crowned this season’s American Idol.
What did you think of the coronation song, “This is My Now?” Well, this is my no way! I was hoping we’d get a stretch in the songwriting. I’d love for something different. But compared to last year’s “Do I Make You Proud,” 2007 coronation song sounds like “Blowin’ in the Wind.”
And did you notice this year’s voted off contestants in the peanut gallery? And what was season 4’s Constantine doing in the audience? I swear, he pops up more than herpes. In fact, in think “Maroulis” is Greek for genital warts.

But our night is complete because the DAUGHTRY! is back to sing his latest hit "Home." And he's even wearing eyeliner.
