Blake Lewis.

Mack The Knife.


Tony points out in the rehearsal clip that Blake wasn't seizing on the meaning of the song. He's close to pitch at the start, but the finger snapping looks terribly contrived and he looks stiff and constrained. Second verse, more of the same until he does a run. Then more fingersnapping, and it's distracting. This isn't bad vocally although not strong enough or stylistic enough. Finally! The final verse, he moves. And sings!! And tries to bring it. Oops a pitch issue when he gets loud, but not too much. Some more odd waving of the right arm, but overall I found the vocal good enough to forgive the odd motions.

A 7.

Randy: That was a good way to start the evening. You got this cool jazz vibe. Had a couple pitch problems, but t his is kind of your thing. I liked it.
Paula: Tonight you personnified pizazz. You're a hep cat. You're just cool.
Simon: Good choice of song. You performed it well. I give you 7 of 10, the band 8 of 10. The band played a big part in that.
