And the streak continues as we get a music video for his sonic rendezvous with John Mayer, “One For My Baby (One More For The Road).” The two do some old-fashioned lounge-style riffing as we spy them in the studio (in suits, of course — this is Tony Bennett we’re talking about). Fortunately, there seems to be no nude sketching to speak of.

Nick carried on with that sentiment Wednesday night at Irving Plaza in New York City, where he said: “I’ve never done this before, and I never thought I’d ever have to, but I’d like to dedicate this song to my sister,” before launching into “Falling Down” from his solo album I’m Taking Off .

When choosing our favorite moment from the game, we can’t decide between Christina Aguilera thrashing her head for “Heavy Metal” or Adam Levine pointing to himself for the word “Diva” — with Blake Shelton guessing correctly! Watch all the fun below. Xtina, Blake and Adam are more than invited to our place for our next board game night.

But there was still plenty else going on — who did not get any luvin’ this week was Steve Jones, Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul, who were unceremoniously 86′d from The X Factor , or Taylor Swift, whose exit from the Les Miserables cast did not leave many people weeping in despair.
