I really liked Blake early on, but his appeal seriously faded once I saw he'd reached his peak and wasn't going to do any mindblowing performances - he simply isn't a good enough singer. That Cure song he did was terrible - a dreary performance of a dreary song (and I speak as a one-time Cure fan who loved that song as a 15 year old, lol). What a weak field this year - Elliot and Taylor were in a different league.
