WE CHOOSE BLAKE NOISE.
Tonight the Idols are in Salt Lake City! This will be sort of like a second homecoming show for Blake, as you’ll see after watching the video below…
(that interview is waaaay old - from February!)

We have some new photos from SeaTac to share, courtesy of Mr. Dallas Lewis.

Blake the Poptart!
Apparently, these girls didn’t know this was Blake at the time, even though they are huge fans. Sneaky, sneaky!

Ok, my flight arrived at 4:35pm…got my luggage a bit after 5. My sister picked me up and wanted to go to the new IKEA that had just opened a couple of days prior. I was hesitant, but said ok…as long as we made it quick. Long story short, Sister Metalhead (as she’ll be called for this recap, since she is one by her own admittance), as hesitant as she was about being dragged along, has a long history of tardiness. So despite my expressed desire to be at the show on time, we got there slightly after 7, and still had to pick tickets up from the Will Call box and pee. Imagine that.
You know the drill. :)

While we (im)patiently await reports from Sarah, pj, etc. about Blake’s homecoming concert, let’s review some of the most interesting tidbits that we’ve seen in the flurry of press over the last few days.
First up, here’s a fun little video clip from Seattle’s FOX affiliate, Q13. Blake dances in his Pop Tart skivvies and delivers a beatbox ode to Seatown!
In more exciting news, it sounds as if Blake’s debut album is really coming along. He’s got 6 (or is it 7 now?) songs recorded, and tells The Herald he even has a title in mind!
Lewis is now working on his debut album, writing songs on tour and preparing to record the rest of them. He has six songs done for the album that he expects will be entitled “A.D.D.,” for “Audio Day Dream,” and will be released on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
11/20/07: Will you get A.D.D.? (Hee!!)
While fans are currently left to discuss rumors and speculate about Blake’s record label situation, according to this Bshorty quote from USA Today’s Idol Chatter blog, 19 Entertainment is involved and they are apparently supportive of Blake’s project.
I had a meeting with 19 and presented a concept of what I wanted to do and they said, ‘Cool, let’s do it.’ I have seven songs already recorded. I’m writing a lot. I think I’ve had the most fun out of any contestant who’s been on the show.
Let’s hope more details will be revealed throughout the summer!
Update from Sarah: We had a BLAST! Blake was fantastic! The crowd was very responsive to all the performers, but it was most definitely a Blake crowd all the way. The cheering was about 3 times as loud as Tampa… my ears are still ringing. :)
The looping pedals WORKED! and “She Will be Loved” was incredible. I had chills. Each song was different than I’d ever heard it before. It was obvious that Blake was glad to be home, and he was determined to put on a great show for his hometown crowd… and he did not disappoint.
Little tidbit: During the second half, Blake came out wearing a Blue Scholars shirt and wore it for the rest of the show, until the very end. Also, at the end of the Cake duet, he gave a shoutout to local musicians, and made a point to promote supporting them. In fact, he even pointed out that there are always all age clubs, where you can not only listen to the music, but perform as well.
Here’s a little pics teaser for ya. They’re not very high res and my camera is pretty old and cheap (heh.), but at least they can give you a taste of the concert for now. I’ll upload more later. BTW, Cisco was there videoing as was Ethan taking pics (in fact, his head was in several of my pics, heh), so there should be a lot of great media surfacing in the future.

I thought I’d start a post for tonight’s concert early since it’s Blake’s homecoming show! Our very own pj and Sarah will be on the scene, so we have their recaps to look forward to! Have fun ladies. :) And don’t forget, we love to hear reports from our readers, so if you’ve got something to say don’t be shy! Leave your comments here or e-mail us: teamplaid@gmail.com
If you’re going to the show tonight, stop by the KISS 106.1 station and say hi to head Blaker Girls, Kristi and Andrea.
Just for fun, let’s revisit Blake’s Idol homecoming celebration…
Have a great show tonight Bshorty! ♥
It’s mj, and I’ll be posting updates from Sarah…
Update (intermission) - I spoke with Sarah on the phone and she tells me:
Second Half
Whoops! It’s been a while since we’ve done a new feature. Lucky for you guys that the newest feature is about one of Blake’s favorite bands ever – Maroon 5. And that YouTube has a wealth of interesting videos on this band.
Tonight is the final California concert! You know the drill. Got recap? Pics? Videos? Leave us a comment here or e-mail us at teamplaid@gmail.com!
