APPARENTLY, AMERICAN IDOL IS A SINGING COMPETITION: In case Randy and Simon weren't clear enough as to whose victory they preferred tonight -- though, to be sure, Jordin kicked Blake's ass five different ways tonight. Blake shouldn't have picked "She Will Be Loved" with that weak falsetto, and had no chance at all on "This Is My Moment Like This Inside Your Heaven," or whatever this year's anthem was.
Jordin, on the other hand, found a glory note in there which immediately garnered induction into the American Idol Glory Note Hall of Fame without the five-day waiting period (right next to Jennifer Hudson's at the end of "Weekend in New England"), and her "Broken Wing" remains top-notch. This shouldn't be close, America.
Sepinwall: "Now, is that fair, America? Asking Blake to sing [the puppy dog and rainbows anthem] is like asking Dennis Kucinich to dunk a basketball. Asking Jordin to do it is like asking Paris Hilton to be nasty and conceited. It just comes naturally to her, and she hits a sustained glory note near the end that Blake would never in a million years even think of attempting."
Fienberg: "TONIGHT'S BEST: I'm going to say that Jordin and Blake were absolutely the night's best. IN DANGER: I have a feeling that the Bottom Two will include Jordin and Blake."
