So, it was pretty clear that Blake Lewis was uncomfortable singing that final song and he confirmed his displeasure when he said the following about “This is My Now” - “It’s definitely not my style, a song I would never sing if I didn’t have to. And I honestly think they should have had two songs that were tailored to both of us.”
He went on to say this to People magazine: “I’m kind of glad I didn’t win for, like, contractual reasons. I think if you’re first you might have to come back for like three years or something… I’m a child of the ’80s, so it’s definitely going to have very advanced thing to it with more of a melodic jazzy, like Maroon 5, Jamiroquai, but definitely more on the hip-hop and electronic kind of thing.”
