Totally agree with Blake. No way he should've changed that. And I could tell he was disappointed. Those judges are so frustrating. And I completely agree about Blake's Imagine mp3. It's beautiful. His voice is so pretty. :wub_tb: Yes! Totally agree with Blake. No way he should’ve changed that. And I could tell he was disappointed. Those judges are so frustrating.

He had courage to sing that song, and he performed it flawlessly. Many thanks to Blaker Mom & Blaker Dad for sharing their boy with us! Does anyone know a source for cheap mp3 memory? Our boy seems to have filled mine up! :tongue1_tb: :happy_tb: pretty :happy_tb: It really *is* a pretty voice. He had courage to sing that song, and he performed it flawlessly.

Thanks for putting the MTV video up! Blake already making headlines. Love that! Our boy is going to be a STAR I just know it. But in the meantime we just have to keep voting our butts off. I am glad they showed a clip of his original work, She Loves The Way is such a cool tune, Love it! His voice is so awesome! And yes the mp3 of IMAGINE is really really pretty. Blake's voice is great for recording, I am telling ya he is going to be selling tons of CD's! BLAKE'S voice is SUPER PRETTY. Gwen is 100% right. Awwww. Blake felt disspointed with Randy's comment. I am hating Randy by the minute, he is a total sellout.. Heck even Simon said something nice and very true.Blake's take on imagine was heartfelt and sincere and that goes a long way/. I really do believe Simon likes Blake. EVen when he criticize him he always try to do it in a very subtle way. And when he has great things to say he always says something like: BEst performance of the night, the strongest guy in the competition... etc. Randy just goes with TPTB intructions. This week pimp him, next week depimp. It's getting on my nerves. Don't worry Blake we have your back. You are not going anywhere. Blaker mom, you are going to have to wait a bit more. Sorry. Hey!

I doubt the youtube footage will last long. MTV is owned by Viacom which has issues with Google which owns youtube. So google removes all viacom owned video (comedy central, MTV, VH1, etc). Meaning if we post this youtube footage everywhere, it might stop working in two days and we will have to post all over again. Thanks, Karen Hey, Can anyone put the MTV coverage on gofish.com.

I don't have a GoFish account, but I do have a YouTube account, so I uploaded it to that. I tried to be discreet with the tags so maybe it wouldn't be found. If anyone wants to download the segment to keep, it's up on <a href="http://z4.invisionfree.com/BlakeLewisMedia/index.php?s=694a24ab2ff1b7540f9b3ac5dd2d3945&act=idx" rel="nofollow">Blake Lewis Media.</a> I'll check out GoFish later! :) Hey Karen!

I just know that Viacom videos are not being removed from gofish right now. I only have a youtube account myself. Hopefully they won't find it for a while. Oh don’t stress about it.

But I think we are all forgetting that Randy has liked Blake since the beginning. Out of ALL of the judges, HE gave Blake the best reviews at his audition, and he's given him a LOT of "props" and positive reviews for his other performances. He's allowed to have opinions about music and not like a performance or two. Geez Louise. Simon sees $$$ when he looks at Blake. He "gets the appeal" (heh) and knows Blake's popularity, he's not stupid. I do understand being frustrated with Randy’s comments about Blake.

And it annoys me that when Blake rearranged "Keep Me Hangin' On" they didn't like it and told him he didn't need to mess with a classic. I just hate it when they contradict themselves; it's one of my biggest pet peeves with this show. Oh I know Sarah…I guess I just don’t know what Randy expected Blake to do with the song.

That is what irritated me. Not that he criticized him, but that he criticized him for not "adding" anything to it. Because really what did he expect him to add that wouldn't have sounded crazy? :confused_ee:

I understand that he didn't want to mess with the song much. Totally cool, and ITA with that outlook. But I think he could have done something with the dynamic of the <em>performance</em> without changing the arrangement or melody of the song. I am not 100% sure which judge said it (I actually think it was Simon), but it didn't seem like the song went anywhere... there wasn't a defined beginning, middle, and end. Even if you don't change the way the song is written or arranged, you can still change the <em>dynamic</em> of your delivery of it, and that can make a HUGE difference. Like I said, I enjoyed the performance because the vocal was absolutely gorgeous, and yes, it was heartfelt and sincere. But, to me, it was kind of missing that "oomph" in it's delivery that, coupled with the vocal and emotion, really could have taken it to soaring heights, and not just "great". To me, there is really an art behind being able to sing ballads. I liked Blake’s performance, so don’t misunderstand what I’m about to say.

I didn't like Randy's critique because he said it was boring. Thanks Randy. Way to give some constructive criticism. Randy doesn't like it when they sing ballads unless they are belty. He told Ace he was boring on country night last year and I thought that was one of Ace's best performances. I thought Simon had a point when he said it didn’t go anywhere.

I swear I read something in the spoilers about Randy saying something similar. Maybe they edited his comment out? :ponder_tb: I'll have to go back and reread the spoilers and watch the critique again. You’re right Sarah, it was Simon that said that.
