You know, it is really sad when a performer the caliber of Tony Bennett gives you advice and the performer is too arrogant to accept it. Bennett remarked that the song was "pre-rap." The point of that observation was "slow the tempo down" Instead, he ignored the advice, botched the words, and was flat on some notes and too sharp on others. He has a nice voice, but when his focus in most of his songs is "beat-boxing," the outcome is predictable. No wonder he came in 2nd. ARROGANCE PERSONIFIED.

@Blakergirl4 looks like you where wrong he didn't sell more than jordin and it looks like even you have given up on him...

Blake: TOO young, TOO arrogant..ok..maybe IGNORANT is a better choice of a word to use here. His loss for not taking a valid suggestion from Tony Bennett. (slow it down and figure out what it's about). This song is out of Blakes league. minus 5 stars.

I remeber this! I loves this!

I totally agree. Clay did seem like he was trying to sing and doing so too hard. Blake seemed natural, and that is so gangster-like. Showy, cool, and edgey with an old time smoothness.

ur mom to?
I enjoyed this version better than Clay Aiken's (though no one beats Mack the Knife, not even any performer I've seen in "The Threepenny Opera", the musical this is originally from). I felt like this version showcased the swing element more, Clay Aiken's seemed very much like someone trying to sing a style they can't really pull off. Having a great voice doesn't mean you can sing every style well.
