Round one went to Blake- even though he did this Bon Jovi Number before it really showcases why he is in this competition.
In round two Jordin reprised "Broken Wing." Blake did a relaxed, 'She Will be Loved' by Maroon Five. Blake did what he needed to do in this round. He showed that he can relax and just sing. Jordin's vocal is definitely better in round two. Crowd reactions went to Blake, in my opinion.
So we go to round three- the dreaded original song round- with one round each.
The song is called "This is My Now." Yuck! it sounds, more than a bit, like "Do I Make You Proud?" In a straight up vocal performance it is going to be tough for Blake to beat Jordin. He is credible. The crowd really likes him. The judges all three called it right in that this song is not Blake's style. Simon basically instructed people to judge Blake on the first two performances.
This song was written with someone like Jordin in mind. She nailed it. She is, without a doubt, a better vocalist. If I have to hear this song on the radio I want to hear her version.
So who will win? Jordin deserves it all, but we shall see.

Excellent commentary....right on the mark. I concur 100%. Please put it on that other Board, and I'll concur within that thread, too!
Loved the Grand Finale! How about that entertainment? I'm thinkin' about taking a midnight train to Georgia......well, at least it shall be on my iPod by tomorrow! Jordin rightfully won....I was crying right along with her and Paula. I'll miss the kids. It ended up being an enjoyable season, after all. And, if ever in doubt about the previous winners......tonight proved the doubters wrong! They are fantastic. Cheers, Jon. Hope we're around and healthy to enjoy the next season. Now, it's politics. Ugh.
