Update from The Blaker Girls

Published by Sarah September 28th, 2007 in Blake Lewis and Blaker Girls. 27 Comments

Kristi of The Blaker Girls got to spend some much deserved time with Blake this week, and today posted a myspace bulletin about finally getting to hang out with him again. Below is an excerpt:

as you know, the AI tour just wrapped up last week. so where does that leave our favorite idol? blake is back in good ol’ rainy seattle and very happy. for the next few weeks he’ll be finishing up his album. he’s already got a TON of amazing songs and is very excited to share them with all of you. he’ll be working in seattle and LA over the next few weeks while he finishes up.

blake and i had a chance to hang out earlier this week when we ran errands together at alderwood mall and grabbed lunch at claim jumper (he had the tri tip sandwhich with shoestring fries, for those of you who were wondering!). it was great to just catch up and see him! it’s been MONTHS since just the two of us had hung out. he gave me the latest on his albums and also said what a great time he had on tour and how much he enjoyed meeting all of you!

a lot is up in the air for right now, but you know as soon as i hear it from him, i’ll pass it onto all of you. hope you’re all doing well and getting ready for blake’s album, A.D.D. (Audio Day Dream) to come out on NOVEMBER 27th.

Updates!

Blake posted a blog on his myspace. I love that there’s a typo in the title. But that’s just me being OCD. ;)

Yes, This is my Official Mysapce Page.
Current mood: happy

Hello everyone,

A lot of questions keep coming up if this is my page or not. It is!! I just got back online from not having control of my page because of American Idol contest rules and now its up and running.

As of now, I’m am in rehersals for the A.I. tour and things are running smoothly. Got a lot of special things happening on the tour this year and I’m really excited for it to start. On top of tour, I have been in meetings with producers and writers for my album, which is set to come out sometime by Thanks Giving to Christmas. I can’t thank you enough for all the responses and support that has come from this amazing journey. I’ve been working hard for the last seven years on writing and performing and American Idol has been the best platform for me to reach out and communicate my art thus far. Thank you again for reaching back.

Very soon I’ll be putting up some music, pictures and art I have been working on.

Love and Happiness,

Your friend, Blake

The Blaker Girls also posted a bulletin from their myspace. Basically just a “hey, we’re still here, we’re not dead” bulletin, but welcome nonetheless.

Hello Blaker Girls and Boys!

TOUR
I hope everyone has their American Idol tour tickets purchased and ready to go! We over at Blaker Girls are excited for the tour. We’ve been asked several times so we are going to just let you know here as well. We don’t have any information about tickets, backstage passes, or meet and greets. If we get that info we will share it with you!

BLAKERGIRLS.COM
Many of you may have noticed Blakergirls.com acting a little funny lately. We switched servers and are still fixing all the little glitches that came along with it. The image galleries are down, we haven’t moved all the images onto the new server so please bear with us!

PEOPLE’S HOTTEST BACHELORS 2007
Blake made it on the list of People’s Single and Sizzling Men of 07. Check it out here.

And for even more, check out video of Blake at the photo shoot here.

Here’s a really great article that The Stranger published about Blake - American Ideal - Why Seattle Should Love Blake Lewis. Most of you have probably already seen the link in the comments and read the article, but I thought it deserved a front page mention for people who may not read comments. Two thumbs up to the author of this article!!

Updates!

ETA2: Blake will be on Best Week Ever tonight on VH1! The show replays all weekend. I hope someone captures it!  Blake was not on the show. 

ETA: Blake will be on The View on June 14, not June 11. Sorry for the confusion.

We promised to feature some of the music that Blake loves and we haven’t forgotten! Coming soon is our first feature of one of Blake’s favorite Seattle-based bands, The Mob Law. Not only will we link to some pretty sweet stuff, the band has agreed to grant us an interview. So stay tuned!

In the meantime, here’s the latest from Kristi of the Blaker Girls. I know, it’s a shame some stuff has to be repeated again and again. *rollseyes* Team Plaid sends a big shout out to Kristi and Andrea for their hard work and for keeping us informed.

hey blakers!!

have you missed me yet? sorry i haven’t been online too much lately. i have been incredibly busy with my ‘real’ job.

blake is doing really well and is just gearing up for tour rehearsal which starts late next week. he’ll be in nyc just before then. he’s really excited for tour and to see all of the contestants again.

some new info and random stuff on blake below:

1. Blake will be on THE VIEW on monday!!!! i’ve heard everyone at the view is SUPER excited to see him and meet him in person; they’re all such big fans. be sure to check it out!

2. US WEEKLY online did an interview with blake the other day. it’s a great one so check it out!

3. blake has the #3 album on ITUNES right now!

4. jordin and blake are NOT dating and are NOT romantically interested in each other. she’s only 17 (illegal!) and have a brother/sister releationship

5. blake’s myspace pages are now back up and running. they were disabled during american idol by fox. you can add him if you want but he is rarely on there. be patient if you request his friendship, leave a comment, or message and don’t hear back right away. he’s a busy guy. you should just add his ‘blake lewis’ page because he will be deleting his bshorty page since it’s too much work to keep up on both pages. www.myspace.com/blakelewis.

and now some old favorites:

7. i DO NOT have any info on backstage passes or meet and greet info. i promise as soon as i know something i’ll pass it along, but for now, i DON’T know anything! :)

8. blake is STRAIGHT.

9. blake is SINGLE.

ok, i think i got everything from my list. hope you’re all doing well and i’ll talk to you soon!

Blake Update from the Blaker Girls

Published by pj May 25th, 2007 in Blake Lewis, American Idol, Blaker Girls, Chris Sligh, Rudy Cardenas and Kristi Redmon. 11 Comments

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!

Homecoming News Roundup

Published by Sarah May 12th, 2007 in Blake Lewis, American Idol, News, AriSawkaDoria, Blaker Girls and Sir Mix-A-Lot. 22 Comments

Just a few articles about Blake’s homecoming events yesterday.

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.

Update on Blake

Published by pj May 8th, 2007 in Blake Lewis, American Idol, Blaker Girls and Voting. 14 Comments

The Blaker Girls just sent the following Myspace bulletin. It addresses rumors and speculation on Blake’s intentions in this competition. 

hey guys! i just wanted to address some issues/rumors that i’ve heard ’round the message boards, in emails, etc.

1. blake is in it to win it (as Randy would say!). please do not stop voting for blake because you think he doesn’t want to go all the way in this competition. he wants to go as far as the fans will take him. he feels so honored and humbled that you’ve all had such faith in him so far and knows you are the THE reason he is in the top 4! 

2. the first place contract is too restrictive and will stifle blake. NOT TRUE! all of the contestants have contracts that could be considered “restrictive”. therefore, the further you make it the better because you’ll get more exposure, more opportunities to sing, and better offers after the show is over. look at kelly clarkson and carrie underwood; they’re doing pretty well! lol :)

3. the sooner blake gets voted off, the sooner he’ll be reuinted with chris rich. NOT TRUE! blake and chris will see each other regardless of when blake leaves the show. at the very least, they’ll see each other at the finale show (where they do a group performance), then all of june for tour rehearsals, then ALLLL summer long during the tour. don’t worry! blake and chris will see plenty of each other.  

4. blake has said that winning isn’t everything. he said that because he knows that even if he doesn’t win, his life will go on and he’ll continue to do what he’s always done. he never thought he’d make it this far and feels that every week he’s here is a gift.PLEASE continue to vote just as much as you always have for Blake!! PLEASE do not assume he is safe and give your votes to someone else. It’s crunch time, Blakers! He’s ALMOST there, but as you all know, this is where it really counts. :)If you think that Blake should be our next American Idol, then please vote accordingly! :) Thank you all SO much for all that you’ve done for Blake. I know he is eternally grateful for all of your support. I’m constantly telling him how amazing you all are and that he really does have the BEST fans out there!!

So there you have it. Please vote as much as possible to send Blake to the Top 3 and home to Seattle!  Save the Beatboxer, Save the World!

Update On Blake!

Published by star April 27th, 2007 in Blake Lewis, News and Blaker Girls. 29 Comments

The Blaker Girls just sent out this bulletin on MySpace!

hey guys!

hope you all had an awesome week and your poor dialing fingers are healing nicely. ;) we’ll all have to vote like crazy next week, too since we have NO idea where blake was this week. remember, ryan announced them in ‘no particular order’ so that doesn’t mean jordin and chris were in the bottom two.

anyway, onto blake. i’ve been getting a lot of messages from people saying that blake has been looking sad lately and are wondering what is wrong. first, i PROMISE you, blake is not sad or depressed or anything like that. the last few weeks have had themes that aren’t what blake is used to. plus, blake hardly knows ANY top 40 type music, so every week he’s learning a song that he’s not very familiar with or has never heard before. blake isn’t the best at remembering lyrics, especially since before idol when he performed on his own he used to improv ALL the time. sometimes he wouldn’t even write lyrics until 5 min before a performance. so, in short, he’s been concentrating really hard on his performances. no need to worry, i promise. :) however, it is SO sweet that you’ve been concerned about him; i know he’s appreciate you all looking out for him.

next week’s performance should be AMAZING. he’s bringing back the beat-boxing and is very excited about his performance. this week’s theme is bon jovi, so it’ll be a good one.

thanks again for all of your support, guys. we couldn’t do it without you!!

Save The Beatboxer, Save The World

Sort of!

Tonight’s episode of American Idol is Part 1 of the much-hyped Idol Gives Back special. Each vote you cast for your favorite finalist Blake Lewis during the 4 hour voting period (no, I didn’t stutter - they’ve DOUBLED the amount of voting time for this event) will result in Idol’s  sponsors making a donation to Charity Projects Entertainment Fund, ”a new charitable organization established to raise money and awareness to benefit children and young people in extreme poverty in the United States and throughout the world, particularly in Africa.”

Tuesday’s performance episode was taped Monday evening, so spoilers are all over the place. If you want to know all the details, check out MJ’s Blog.  Get ready to vote Team Plaid! This week, each contestant will get two voting lines instead of just one. Here are Blake’s digits, so you can go ahead and program them into your phone if you want to be prepared.

1-866-IDOLS-03

1-866-IDOLS-09

And of course, if you’re a Cingular customer, you can text message votes for Blake to 5703 or 5709. Texting comes in verrrrrry handy when the lines are too busy to get through!

So who’s going to help Save The Beatboxer tonight? Comment here if you’re in! Lurkers, come on out and let us know you’re here to pitch in some votes for Blake too!

By the way, did you know Blake’s already using his fame to give back? Truefax, bbs. Proceeds from the sales of Blaker Girls/Boys merchandise will go toward cancer research at Children’s Hospital and Regional Medical Center in Seattle. Check out this video of the Blaker Girls in action (plus a bonus appearance by Blake’s adorably proud papa!)…

GO TEAM PLAID!


We want YOU!
