Published by May 13th, 2007 in Blake Lewis, American Idol, AriSawkaDoria, Sir Mix-A-Lot and Common Market. 72 CommentsThere are obviously a lot of videos and mp3s floating around of Blake’s visit to his home state. I wanted to get the party started by posting part of Blake’s Seattle concert (Beware the girly screams). I am sure others will be putting more stuff up soon.
Also - I won’t be here next week so please do all you can to keep Blake in this competition. Blake wants to win despite any rumors to the contrary. Thanks!

From the Seattle Times: A Tidal Wave of “Idol” Worship
The Bothell crowd of more than 7,000 was growing restless. Where was its American Idol? Some teens chanted “We want Blake!” Others hoisted “We Ache for Blake” or “Bothell Boy, You Rock!” signs. And then, off in the distance, the twirling lights of police cars, the thundering beats of the Inglemoor Marching Band and Blake Lewis, all smiles and waves and two-fingered kisses, sailing down Main Street in a Mustang convertible with his beaming parents.
Later on in the article:
In its sixth season, “American Idol” — still attracting nearly 30 million viewers to each of its twice-weekly shows — is an undisputed vault into music stardom. Contestants perform on Tuesdays, and the field gets smaller each week as viewers vote on who should stay. The results are announced on Wednesdays. And regardless of whether Lewis wins, he should have an easy time now getting a recording contract, said musician friends who performed with Lewis on Friday.
Seattle and Bothell got a taste of what a Blake Lewis album might sound like as he took both crowds through a hip-hop/reggae/techtronica set, all laced with his beat-boxing, and backed up with local band — and Lewis’ good friends — AriSawkaDoria.
He sang two of the songs he’s performed on “American Idol” — songs by Jamiroquai and Keane — as well as some original compositions, each one with a groovy, rhythmic vibe.
