For those of you without MySpace, here’s the latest update on Blake from the Blaker Girls. Enjoy!

Hey blakers-

 

Sorry it took me a while to get back to all of you. I got back from LA yesterday morning and went straight to work. Keep in mind that I went straight from the AI after party to the airport so I had no sleep! J It was all worth it though. Being at the shows this week was absolutely incredible and I’m so glad I was able to go. I even ran into a few Blaker Girls in the audience! It was so great to see Blake perform “You Give Love A Bad Name” live. After the show some woman thought I was Jordin and told me I did a great job! Haha. Blake’s mom was quick to correct her and let her know that I was a Blaker Girl!! On Wednesday, I got to walk the red carpet with his parents on Wednesday and was even interviewed! Who would’ve thought I’d be on the red carpet? A bunch of former Idol contestants were on the red carpet, too. It was fun catching up with Idol contestants from this season who I haven’t seen in a while (Chris Sligh, Rudy Cardenas, etc.). The finale show was so fun and I loved seeing all of the guest performers. Blake and Doug E Fresh were definitely my favorite! After the show we headed over to the after party. It was completely packed with the judges, contestants, former Idols, and random celebrities. Pictures from my trip will be up later this weekend, so keep an eye out.

 

Now for the part you care about – Blake!

 

Every time I saw him this week he was so calm and not nervous at all. I think the rest of us were way more nervous for him. There have been some rumors going around that Blake threw the finale because he didn’t want to win. That is ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE. Blake gave it all he had and performed to the best of his ability. Blake said he would be happy no matter what the outcome was. If he won that would be great. If he didn’t win that meant his very good friend (and someone he considers to be a little sister) would win. He knew that he had amazing fans who would continue to support him whether he won or not and to him that was just as good. Blake is not upset or bitter or anything like that. He had an amazing time on Idol. Initially, he was just hoping to get to the top 10 and considered anything after that a bonus. The most important thing to him is to connect with people through his music and get his music out there. I’d say he more than succeeded in that. Blake is beyond happy right now and I know for all of you that is the most important thing.

 

He will be working on an album and is hoping to release it sometime this Fall/Winter. The Blaker Girls will be around LONG after Idol and we’ll constantly keep you updated on what he’s doing.

You have all been so incredibly amazing and I feel so fortunate to have gotten to know you through this experience. Thank you all for supporting Blake on Idol and I can’t wait for all that we’ll see from Blake over the coming years.

Love you guys!!!!
