Oh… if anyone else wants a headband let me know! Send me your address and I’ll drop one in the mail this week.

So I can’t remember from the tour last year, but what did they have for sale? My girls want a poster and a t-shirt of Blake. :) I didn’t get them a ticket b/c I didn’t think they could sit through all 10 singers. They’re just 5 and 4, but they love Blake. :)

Honestly, last year I went twice and was late both times. I got my money’s worth, but I pretty much missed the first half of the show, except Paris. I’m sure you can do that if you want. I was 7 when I went to my first full arena show and 4 for my first concert hall show, but I know all kids are different.

I love when Regis told him he should have won. Kelly also said he was going to have a HUGE career. I agree.
Is he going to be on TRL today? I heard he already taped his segment.

So, I guess the rumor about him being on The View is wrong. Sorry guys!

That was just great.. Blake is not a typical AI contestant that’s for sure..

I got my Blake-fix for today, yay!

ETA: Also sending some caps to photobucket.

Caps are still going up to photobucket.

YouTube still hates me.

ps: dont worry, youtube hates me too. lol.

while I’m waiting for the pain to end. Feel free to use it anywhere, no credit requested.

Yes, we’ll post TRL on the main page when it makes it to youtbe or gofish!

I really liked this performance. He would be lost in his song, and then just start looking all over the audience and a smile would almost start to play across his face. He was completely in his element and it was great!

When Blake & Jordin were leaving TRL, Jordin sang a little to Blake’s beat. It was really cute. I hope that Jordin’s album is full of good, fun songs and only has a few of the cheezwhizzy ones. She seems like such a fun kid, gifted with an excellent voice. Let’s hope that TPTB don’t try to cram her into a sappy mold, or (at least) they don’t succeed if they try.

Jenlar, thanks for the caps. Can’t wait to check them out!

Finally, for the non-myspace inclined, here’s the latest bulletin from The Blaker Girls.

hey blakers-

apparently, some people out there seem to hate the blaker girls because they think we are sexist (because of our name). that is most definitely NOT the case. many of you already know this, but for those of you who don’t…the blaker girls were started by friend of blake and the name was give approval BY BLAKE. it’s not that only girls are welcome, it’s just that it was a name that fit with his and was a play on words with ‘the laker girls’ (a la paula abdul).

we have TONS of guys who are members and know that there’s more than just a name. they understand that if you want factual information from the people who know blake, this is the place to be.

another rumor going around is that you have to think blake is gay in order to be a blaker girl. once again, not the case. the blaker girls (and blake) don’t care if fans are gay, straight, bi, or whatever. we’re open to anyone. however, blake, himself, is straight.

anyway, just wanted to clear that up in case there is any confusion.

Frankly, I feel it’s alittle sad that Kristi even has to clarify such nonsense. She does a great job and Blake is very lucky to have her and the Blaker Girls.

i don’t know why Kristi had to remind us like everytime that Blake’s straight. i don’t read a lot of other blogs/forums/myspace, are the rumors that bad?

Savio: thanks. i’m also gonna wear my green plaid top. shooting you an email now.

ParkAvenue: I just responded to the email - very much looking forward to it!

PA- Glad that you like the pictures. Yeah, the rumors are that bad.

Ugh!!

I suspect tweentard Cakers are the ones causing the gay rumors. There are a few of them who actually believe in their heart of hearts that Blake/Chris are dating. Sad and delusional.

The best reaction to any of the rumors was when Perez Hilton.com posted the picture of Blake & his buddies all in a line being goofy, and tried to make it mean something “gay gay gay”. Blake’s buddy Ethan sent the link to everyone on his myspace friends lists and was like “OMG! I MADE PEREZ HILTON! YESSS!” Not the reaction that Perez expected, I’m sure!

I’ll make some caps when I get everything situated & sent where it’s supposed to be.

During the commercial break after Charles Gibson interview, Blake came out to the set and lots of women and girls were already anticipating and screaming for him. Blake was setting up th technical things and his music equipment and being real cool and professional. As you saw, the plaid grey pants are back with the black zip-up jacket with the green trimming, and sneakers. Green really is his color- suits him to a tee.

Blake sounds so clear and light and pure and forceful on She Will Be Loved. His modulation of pitch was great to hear and he sounds so effortless. I can really hear that he keeps his voice in good condition/shape with not straining vocal chords, etc. It’s something I trained a bit with public speaking/perfomance/theater, so I know he has good vocal training. The studio audience really listened and enjoyed the song. I was on of those you hear in the studio who walloped and wood and cheered as loud for the public to know we appreciate Blake.

I loved hearing him perform with the guitar and the looping instrumant(I think that’s what it’s named - piano/keyboard/percussions/vocal layering.) It is finally good to show everyone the full music arsenal that he has. Blake was fully in the element.

Blake’s voice and musicality is just wonderful.

Thanks for telling us all about your experience at R&K, Wagner. It sounds wonderful! I really wish I could have been there.

The AI tour will be great, but I can’t wait til I can go to a full concert that’s JUST Blake. :)

If any of you are members of Blake Lewis Media, there’s a video of SWBL available there, from a performance at a hospital yesterday. It’s not the whole thing; just the beginning - but it’s flawless. He also said that SWBL is the only cover he ever performed before Idol.

Wagner7, how awesome you were in the R&K studio audience! Thanks so much for recapping your experience. Happy trails to all of you going to The Today Show tomorrow. *pretends not to be jellus*

So he and Jordin were on the whole time during TRL? Dang, I should’ve taped it. I don’t like to download big files to my computer lately. I’m gonna pray it shows up on YouTube in segments! :)

So with the R&K. I LOVE LOVE LOVE his vocal. The beatboxing was a little off and he was spending too much time looking at his loop machine. I want him to do it again with someone else messing with the loop.

(Oh and with all this I was thinking, thank God we got him to the top 2. Third place sucks. I haven’t seen Melinda on the media tour since the top 3 were on Leno and little piece in LKL.)

Jordin is totes Blaker Girl!

(”OMG you are comparing Blake to Dylan? Blake’s untalented, he can only beatbox!” - random angry blogger)

Seriously, I’m tire of these Blake haters. The competition is over and they’re still spreading their hatred and anger. I don’t know what the deal is. If they don’t like him, then don’t buy his record. Geez Weez Luiz.
