For his first performance, Blake Lewis sang Jon Bon Jovi's “You Give Love A Bad Name.” Randy Jackson said “I give you a ten out of ten on the beatboxing, dawg. The beatboxing was hot, you had the triplets going on with the drum thing. The singing for me was just alright.” Paula Abdul said “I wish I could give you more than a ten.” Simon Cowell said “You’re not the best singer in the competition, but you are the best performer I think we’ve had.” For his second performance, Blake Lewis sang Maroon 5's “She Will Be Loved.” Randy Jackson said “Great song and a very nice vocal.” Paula Abdul said “You sounded great.” Simon Cowell said “It was good, it was safe, it wasn’t as good as the first performance, and I actually wouldn’t have chosen that song in the final, because I don’t think it makes that much of an impact.” For his third performance, Blake Lewis sang “This Is My Now,” which is the song that won the American Idol songwriting competition. Randy Jackson said “You did a pretty good job with it. It was alright, you don’t have to feel that bad about it.” Paula Abdul said “Even if it’s not the genre of music that you like or enjoy, I think you were in great voice.” Simon Cowell said “I thought it was all a little odd to be honest with you, Blake.” (Videos and MP3s after the jump)
