Week 3 Country

[Blake Lewis]

I decided to do blue eyes crying in the rain by Willie Nelson. I wanted to slow it down this week and try to take a risk since the first 2 weeks i went with more upbeat faster songs so i wanted the audience to see my softer side.

Willie Nelson- Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain
In the twilight glow I seen her
Blue eyes crying in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again

Love is like a dying ember
And only memories remain
And through the ages I'll remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain

Someday when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand in hand again
In the land that knows no parting
Blue eyes crying in the rain

[Brandy]

Blake -- I have never heard this song before, so I can't really compare what you did to the original... but I can say that I did enjoy what you did with the song... will I remember it tomorrow, probably, but it probably won't be the first performance from tonight that I remember... keep up the work, we know you can sing just start choosing songs that best fit your vocals and don't forget to add your own twists and styles to the performance to make it yours...

[Simon Cowell]

This was a stretch for you, and we all know how much I HATE country music, especially the old music like Willie Nelson there. You not only made it your own, you made it contemporary for today's audience. Well done!
