Does Blake have any chance to win this?

[dengar]

I figured Blake would be able to outlast Jordin to get into the finals, but I never figured that he would be able to take down Melinda.

With that being said. Does he have a legit change to beat Jordin head to head?

i think he's got a decent chance since i dont believe the theory that jordin will get melinda votes. a lot of melinda fans will be angry about the injustice of it all and not vote. plus a lot of melinda fans seemed to hate jordin and vice versa but what do i know?

The voting breakup baffles me as well. Can anyone that reads the idols forum elaborate on where they say their votes are going?

other than clay v reuben, i think this is the only one that's too close to Confidently call.

No chance. I repeat, no chance.

I was a Melinda fan and I hate Jordin.
I would now vote Blake who, although not a technically amazing singer, can clearly succeed as a successful contemporary singer.

Oh except I don't live in the US...

Blake has mentioned several times that he really does not want to win American Idol, because winning may put restrictions on the level of creativity he wants for his album.

VFTW mentions that there was a coin-flip at the end of Wednesday's show to see who sings in what order. Blake won, and gave the choice to the producers or Jordin. So, if this is true, it looks like Jordin is getting the pimp spot. Also, this furthermore shows that Blake does not want to win.

have we confirmed this rendition anywhere other than vftw?

Idolforums also posted this. He won the toss, opted to let the producers chose, they said they couldn't, then he let Jordin choose. She chose to go second.

The three theories as to why are:

1. Awe, isn't Blake Sweet?
2. Producers told him to do it if he won.
3. He does not want to win.

Outside of a recording contract with Simon's studio, there is no other Idol prize, yah?

In which case it seems very much that he wouldn't want to win.
