I agree with it ...Thanks so much for this article. I agree with it completely, and it's about time someone said it. How can anyone expect Blake to have the same kind of voice as an girl with a powerhouse voice? He has his own giftS and they go way beyond beatboxing. It was incredibly frustrating that they have tried to diminish Blake's singing ability to true to ensure that Jordin would win. I am a musician and have judged many talent contests and he has a soothing, creating beautiful, fun and contemporary voice, which as you said will definitely hold its own with contemporary artists of today, some of which don't sound as good -- or perform as well as he. I am a bit concerned that this stupid hype about his just being good at beatboxing will diminish his reputation the way they tried to put Taylor down and that is unacceptable. I certainly hope more writers will write as you did and recognize all of his talents and potential. He could have a hit song on the radio TOMORROW. And he better get the chance. He showed class all the way -- and took a back seat to Diva Jordin tonight and last night. He deserves alot just for doing that. To us, his spirit seemed dampened both last night and tonight -- I certainly hope he gets it back and the right people get behind him so that he can take his place in the music business and stop being compared to a singer who sang well on the final song because it was written for Melinda, Jordin or LaKisha, certainly not with Blake in mind. How would Jordin have done on a song which would have allowed for beatboxing? lol. Two finally thoughts: It was amazing to see Taylor (a great surprise) and I thought he tried his very best and did well on the two songs he sang, giving it all he had to the point of being a bit out of breath on the first, but SO WHAT. He's got Clive on his back, as does Kelly Clarkson, and sometimes it really discourages me as I wonder what it does to their spirits. And lastly, God Bless Melinda, who finally started showing us her fun personality and sweet personality toward the end. I believe she should have won, and Blake should have been treated with more respect and air time these last two nights...no one can say Jordin isn't talented -- it just doesn't feel like the right one won, or the 2nd place finisher got his due. Blake and Melinda, may you both have great backing, creative freedome, tremendous success and reward. Thanks for reading...over and out.
