Blake doing "You Give Love a Bad Name": Good, but not great. A very nice live performance, but not a good singing choice. Parts at the end when he was pushing the microphone around, he was cutting in and out.

Jordin doing "Fighter": Following Blake, you just want her to move a little bit, don't you? It was still a great singing job, but it lacked a little show business.

Blake doing "She Will Be Loved": I've seen Maroon 5 more in the last week than in the last year or two. Frankly, if you had asked me in April to name any of their songs, I'd come up blank. (I would like to get a haircut like their lead singer, though.) That being said, Blake is no Maroon 5, but he's got more personality than their lead singer. This was okay, but not great. You think he would have done another song with beat-boxing giving the choice. That's his shtick.

Jordin doing "A Broken Wing": Country music originally I believe, but you wouldn't know it from this version. I think they changed the arrangement to take out the twang. This was diva-esque. Flawless.

That last song: The producers totally screwed Blake. That last song was so girly. So manipulative, so emotional, Jordin couldn't get the last few words out singing. She just spoke them, but man, did she BELIEVE those words when she sang and spoke. Blake was just "Eh."

It's got to be Jordin winning. Got to be. GOT to BE.
