The best remaining singer, Jordin Sparks, took home the idol crown. The best performer, Blake, was left with second place, but I think he will do just fine. Jordin claimed the crown last night when the idol song written for the winner was a safe ballad that played right into Jordin’s hands. If you watched last night and tonight you will notice that Jordin moved a total of 7 inches during her 4 songs. She might be able to sing, but she has no stage presence.

For the lyrics to “This Is My Now” turn the page…

There was a time I packed my dreams away
Living in a shell, hiding from myself.
There was a time when I was so afraid
I thought I’d reached the end.
Baby, that was then.
But I am made of more than my yesterdays.

 

This is my now,
And I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around,
I can’t believe the love I see.
My fear’s behind me,
Gone are the shadows and doubt.
That was then.
This is my now.

 

I had to decide.
Was I gonna play it safe?
Or look somewhere deep inside,
Try to turn the tide.
Find the strength to take that step of faith?

 

This is my now,
And I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around,
I can’t believe the love I see.
My fear’s behind me,
Gone are the shadows and doubt.
That was then.
This is my now.

 

I have a courage like never before, yeah.
I settled for less, but I’m ready for more.
Ready for more…

 

This is my now,
And I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around,
I can’t believe the love I see.
My fear’s behind me,
Gone are the shadows and doubt.
That was then.
This is my now,
And I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around,
I can’t believe the love I see.
My fear’s behind me,
Gone are the shadows and doubt.
That was then.
This is my now.
This is my now.
