Interviews

Exert:

The next segment was one of the show's highlights, as Doolittle and LaKisha appeared in long white gowns and sang a medley of the Supremes' "Stop! In the Name of Love" and "Baby Love." The Motown mojo continued once Richardson joined the fray for a solid take on the old Marvin Gaye hit "I Heard It Through the Grapevine."

Lewis, as expected, showed off the one main thing that separates him from the crowd -- his beat-boxing skills. The first dose was impressive.

Exert:

Second-place finisher Blake Lewis seemed to be the only one working without some kind of guide vocal, occasionally straining for a note and at one point experimenting with a looping device. Consequently, his performances were among the best, with a natural connection with the screaming masses -- and enough beat-boxing to fill a "Fat Boys" album and two "Police Academy" sequels.

Very poor image quality, but great sound and fantastic beat boxing performance by Blake. He even throws in a line from Rehab by Amy Winehouse!
