I'd kind of lost interest in American Idol after Sanjaya got voted off - I actually wanted an awful performer to make it all the way to the end.  But Blake's performance of You Give Love a Bad Name this week was *unbelievable* - just blew me away completely.  Easily the gutsiest move I've ever seen an idol contestant make, and I think he locked himself in as final two or the winner.  The boy's got some serious hip hop / turntableism chops.
