Did Blake throw the show?

by Roberta on May 23rd, 2007

According to some reports, it appears that Blake Lewis is trying to throw the show:

During tonight’s episode, the first thing that might clue you in to Blake’s mindset was his decision to perform first after he won the coin flip (AND after asking Jordin whether she wanted to go first). It’s always beneficial to perform last, in terms of making a lasting impression on the Idol voters (this may not be scientifically proven, but it sure seems to be the case). Blake’s lack of nervousness is another red flag. He does not seem at all invested in the competition and looks as if he only really cares about going out there and having a good time. If he really wanted to win American Idol, we’d probably sense at least a little stress out of him.

I guess it would make a lot of sense if he didn’t win American Idol tonight. Jordin Sparks would be happy because she won the record deal and can make America’s next pop album. And Blake Lewis could still get a record deal and have all kinds of creative control, and still make the type of music he enjoys making.

I applaud Blake for being a gentleman in letting Jordin go first, but who actually thought he had enough talent to win it?

America has already voted, it’s basically over, they just haven’t told us yet. We want to congratulate Jordin Sparks in advance, just because. Blake didn’t seem nervous at all, and then you have Jordin, who had to toss in the crying/whining at the end.
