Ok, yeah, it's been one week since American Idol finished, and the whole universe already knows that Jordin won. It wasn't exactly unexpected anyway...especially since Blake totally fell flat on his last performance singing the original song, which was (surprise surprise) yet another sappy feel-good ballad chosen by the AI producers. Sigh...will the day ever come when the producers finally decide to choose a rock song, or dance song, or basically not-so-half-dead song for the two finalists to sing? Only future American Idol seasons will tell.... But anyhow, I do admit that Jordin rose to the occasion and did a fantastic job on that original, which is most probably why she won the contest in the end. But it was pretty unfair for poor beatboxing Blake to be strapped with a song like that, which was so not his kind of song at all, while his competition was more than comfortable singing such ballads. If it was a more edgier and funkier song, I'm sure Blake would've wiped little Jordin all over the floor in the final performance. But anyhow, nobody said life was fair, and thus Blake didn't win. But it a way, I'm kind of glad he didn't win too coz' if that sappy song was going to be his first single as the AI winner, I'm sure I and a gazillion other Blakey fans would be puking all over the place. At least now he has the freedom to choose his own musical direction...and I'm sure he won't be as confined to the ideals of the AI producers as Jordin will now be.
Here's looking forward to more great music from the Blakeman, who no doubt has inspired a generation of future beatboxers to come! :P
