No, the original is correct.

"The blues" (in addition to being a type of music) means general sadness.

If you have "the blues" you feel sad. You could say you "feel blue" but you've "got the blues."

I've got the blues today.
Should blues be blue, right? Thanks.
***NOT A TEACHER***Xianyu, the plural (blueS) is correct. People use the singular in a sentence such as: I'm feeling blue today. Thank you.
