Chronicle of a something-or-other foretold

[jlh]

Wow, you guys, I can't believe we're almost at the end. Promise, drabbles tomorrow. Thanks to everyone who's been reading these and voting in the polls!

1. Blake. Seriously, why does Randy feel so threatened by Blake? I know that Simon is on Team Blake because after the Taylor Disaster of ought-six, he's desperate for the show to remain relevant. But why Blake winning would be any skin off Randy's nose, I'm not sure. Meanwhile, Blake rocked three awesome outfits.
   • "You Give Love a Bad Name." Excellent choice for his "song he's sung before." Also smart to start with a song he'd already sung. Totally showed us why we love him.
   • "She Will Be Loved." ali_wildgoose and I are on record as hating this song, but I still think it was a smart choice, and he sounded fantastic.
   • "That Stupid Idol Single." This is where Kat lost last year, and this is where Blake was bound to lose this year. I wish he hadn't looked quite so bored, but I found it funny that Simon noticed it and almost expected it.
   
   
2. Jordin Jordin looked, well, merely okay. I like the curls, America likes the curls, where was the cute?
   • "Fighter." As always, Simon was right. When she came in at the bridge, she needed to have the note in her head, since there was no music, and she was off key, and was sharp for the rest of the song.
   • "With a Broken Wing." I didn't even remember this song. She sounded good but she still seems to be auditioning to be the next Faith Hill, and who wants that from her?
   • "That Stupid Idol Single." This is where she won, especially as she was crying at the end. Seriously.

Okay, the engagement choices are way too amusing not to vote.

And on an unrelated note, did you enough money for the cab? I couldn't tell if that other chick paid.

Blake will win...or Jordin.
50/50 I say.

I wish I could remember what it was like to have feelings for this show.
