It’s from a person in the press who was able to sit backstage with the idols from the arrival to the departure of the idols. He said this happened during soundcheck….

“Well, here they are, in all their glory,” says producer Sidi. Lewis goofs off at a mike, singing “soundcheck” followed by I Just Died in Your Arms Tonight.”

OOOOOOOOHhhhh…I would pay to see him sing that song. Wish it was on vid.

newduck— I Saw that article! I actually mentioned it to Blake too, when I saw him! LOLOL! The other girls wanted to hear PWARS I told him, but I personally would have loved to heard that Died In your Arms Tonite! I think he thought I was being pervy. heh. I was serious tho!

::runs off to check new BT vids::

Newduck, I think I’ve heard about him singing that song before… But can’t remember from where. *L* I’m with you - I LOVE that song, and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to hear B sing it. *dreamy sigh*

That pic is enough to put anyone in fangirly mess! This pic was the undoing of Butet last night. I hope she is okay. Hee!

We had a station to pop up in the format starters this morning on Mediabase. It was WFLY-FM in Albany, NY. If you’ll remember, that was one of the first stations where B’s promo started for HMW.

I can’t wait for the scavenger hunt! I’m excited! :D

*Runs off to see the vid!*

You all should go to MS and show some love to my newest Friend, Emily Ritchett. She’s a DJ in Grand Rapids, and not only a sweet fangirl, but will be interviewing Blake hopefully the 8th. She’s posting something on the station website around lunchtime today, she said.

Bully,

It seems like there are more people now asking Blake about his Grand Rapids visit on his page. I’ll have to go and check her page out. Thanks :)

From what I can tell by the page posted on her MS, she is apparently with the local Fox affiliate there and not the radio station unless I missed something. She does seem very nice though. :)

AWESOME!
this guys MS has some BT vids with Blake
Sorry, if they’ve already been posted.
B is on Never Gonna Come Back Down.

newduck,

thanks for posting! that’s a really awesome vid!

my attempt at playing hmw on the piano:

Here is the link to the local Fox affiliate station in Grand Rapids. You will see a pic of her on the right hand side of the page. :)

OMG! You got that right PAM. I havent been able to concentrate after I saw that. I have 2 papers due today, and I havent even finish any of them. I really think I need to get that P.O Box address so I can send him my tuition and medical bill.
Bully- He does look tired. Friend here, think he looks weathered.

OH that picture is smoking.. Oh you just had to remind me huh??
Blake at that concert seemed to really be in his element. IMO, I noticed that when he is performing his song from ADD there is a passion when he performs but nothing compared to when he plays that genre of music. IDK.. I could be sleep diprived.

Can’t wait for the hunt. I will attack with full force. I have prepared my amo. LOL.

Does anyone know if Blake is going to continue his radio promo towards the West Coast?

I hope so ETOW, he needs to start hitting up those larger audience radio stations. Like *hint hint* HOUSTON!
I wonder why he hasn’t hit Ryan Seacrest show yet? I mean that thing is widly popular. I mean stupid Heidi *I have no real talent* Montag was able to premire 2 of her songs on that show. Why hasn’t Blake?????

Butet,

I was wondering what happened to you after last night’s fangirl pic onslaught. I figured that address my come in handy. Hee!

Bully,

Here is part of the message I got from Emily which is I think probably what she sent to you also. :)

Looking forward to meeting him in a week- I’ll definitely post updates! Thanks to everyone who took pics at WMC- I used one in my entertainment show on WXMI.com by noon (click Emily then ‘The Rundown’) :)

As far as KIIS LA and the other markets, it may be a matter of trying to fit them into the schedule if that is indeed part of the future plans. Who knows? LOL We are now just finding out about Grand Rapids visit for next week and of course GMA is on Wednesday. I really do hope there is a KIIS LA visit in Blake’s future. I guess we will just have to wait and find out. :)

It’s those eyes that get me, I swear. He could peel and eat me up like a banana. heh.
What?? ;-) heeheee! Butet, you are a very bad influence on me!

He can flail and do electronica all he wants, so long as we get our downtime of ballads and velvety voice. I must admit, there is something about him and Bt together that have me het up, IDK….

Bully,

It must be contagious because Butet is a bad influence on me too. Heh! Well, you were right after all. Blake will be having something to do with WHTS-FM, the Top 40 station in Grand Rapids, while he is there next week. There are doing a little contest there and they mention his April 8th visit there. :)

Blake Lewis April 8th Celebration Cinema South

Blake Lewis, season 6 runner up will be in town on April 8th at Celebration Cinema South for an exclusive screening of American Idol.

We’ll have your chance to win tickets starting on
Monday March 31.

The only way to get into show is to win tickets and everybody who is there will also be able to take part in our Q&A session.

Nice vids of WMC….

Have a great day.

Click HERE to see it. Click on the one for todays date (03-31-08). :)

That Emily is a sweetheart. I hope she has a wonderful visit with our boy.

Also, if you see someone on here say something like, “Finished! Just emailed my link!” don’t let that stop you from completing the hunt. Keep going. You never know, they might have some incorrect pictures in there. And we’re not planning to post any kind of updates on the blog…we won’t say a word until the winner is announced on 4/6.

Feel free to spread this info around to other Blake sites you’re on. We want to have a lot of participants so that it will be a real competition!!

Yay! I had really thought I’d seen a blurb about him doing a radio spot also, while in Grand Rapids. Glad I was right. :-) More goodies for us!

That Emily is a sweetheart. I hope she has a wonderful visit with our boy.

Bully,

Yep, my bad. Sorry about that. lol I just decided to check the station’s website and started scrolling through the events and low and behold, there it was. I have a feeling that Grand Rapids is going to be very kind to Blake. :) One advantage that Blake will have going to Grand Rapids is that this station has already been playing HMW well ahead of his visit. We know that for the most part it has been the other way around. I’m still crossing my fingers though for some other major market visits where the song hasn’t been played yet. :)

I agree Bully. Emily does seem like a very nice person. :)

Mmmmmm…..I am trying to scope out who my competition is. I think Pam is going to be tough, because I think I have heard her mention somewhere that she has like 3 folders of pictures. Yeah well, you’re goin down Pam!

EOTW,

I’m up for the challenge. I say bring it on baby!

I am just hoping I can figure out what needs doing, and have a chance!

I totally agree. Jenlar is indeed the picture guru. :) You are too funny!

*pokes back* hee!

I am just hoping I can figure out what needs doing, and have a chance!

Me too Bully. We can do it though!!!!! We can knock those gurus…er…I mean gals off their pedestal.

I don’t have a clue about this stuff but I set up a photbucket account and will give it a shot. Anything for B prizes right?

Vicki,

Definitely! :D

Does anyone have photobucket questions? I’d hate for someone not to be able to complete because of photobucket intimidation.

I learn quick, my dear… ;)

What’s photobucket?

Vicki- I’d just suggest playing around with it a bit tonight, just to make sure that you know how to make it work. Also, it tends to *hate* the firefox browser so you may want to open it in Internet Explorer if you usually use firefox.

So I’m working and surfing the web yesterday and I hear this squeal, kind of a little scream, so I jump up, open the door and look into the livingroom and ask Dinah what happened. She said she’s watching Oxygen and they just played BA during the commercial ads… I went back to work and I heard it again and jumped up and sure enough BA was being played again…. Hurray for Television. It is so good to know that someone else likes Blakes music. Bully for Oxygen. I’m waiting to hear it at 24 HR fitness…
Have a great week.
D

I Just watched the clip of Blake on Mad TV. Hilarious! =)

Also wanted to remind everyone to keep requesting Blake on Xm Radio’s Top 20 on 20.

What was the link to XM radio?
Perhaps Team PLaid could add that link to the list in Help Blake. :)

Also, the performance with BT and KJ was rocking. The audience seemed so energized.

Yes indeed folks! Early tomorrow we fly out to one of the loveliest cities in the world, New York City, and we will be performing on Good Morning America on Wednesday morning! So peel your eyes from the back of your lids first thing in the morning and wake up right, with our faces on your boob-tube.

Looks like things are starting to happen again, so I will give you a full report when I am in the know. I hope everyone is having a fantastic monday and are looking forward to the week.
Seize the day.
All we have is now.
Under my umbrella-ella-ella-eh-eh-eh……
You know what I’m talking about!

Super big kisses

Mmmmmm, I wonder what that means? Good things I hope! Two-er maybe?

EOTW,

I don’t know. I would like to think we will hear something regarding that in the near future. The label is probably trying to play all of this by ear and see how HMW does and if so, then it’s a good idea. Now, to make my dreams come true, I want to hear PHJ actually sing “Umbrella” so that I can really get a good laugh!

Hee!

Oooh. Scavenger hunt!?! Um…can I play? If I win I’ll donate the prize to charity? I won’t win though, so now worries really.

Of course you can!! :)

Glad to see you around, hun!! We’ve missed you!!

Thanks for the tip about Firefox and IE. :) I decided to switch over to IE after you said that just to try it to see what would happen and the very opposite is true for me so I guess Firefox likes me? LOL I can tag just fine with Firefox but with IE is a different story. At least now I know which one will work best for me. :)

Thanks for the tip about Firefox and IE.

I have a Mac and I use Safari as my browser. I hope that works.

I guess some more stories about David A’s Dad are surfacing, and the poor little fans aren’t liking it. Karma indeed! (although I do feel sorry for David A.)

EndOfTheWorld,

Hmm, I wonderwhy somebody mentioned karma?:wink1_tb:

I feel a bit sorry for David A. too. He’s eventually going to hear the stories, if he hasn’t already.

I am trying to resist the dark side. It is tugging at me! Can you “imagine” that?

Yes, the force is strong with this one.

Yes, the force is strong with this one.

I rooted for Blake last season. But he lost me with his sucking album and toolish attitude after the tour. He was a jerk to one of an online friends when she met him. I think the current negative situation is brought by himself alone.

I know you are practically happy about those David A rumors (again how bitter are you!) though you claim you feel “sorry for him.” But I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Not necessarily a bad thing, could get him more votes if that is possible.

As Blake would say–Love and Happiness!

We will be like kids in a candy store. lol It will be fun no matter what the prize is! :D

Stop it. If you want to debate with people elsewhere, take it there.

Excellent find, btw!!! Thanks!

ETA: Holy shades!

Their backs are facing the camera but it is a really good closeup of the stage and the sound is amazing!

Pam, I liked seeing Blake’s backside! Love the view of it as if we were on stage. It must be such a rush performing on stage like that in front of all those people.

EOTW,

I know. That’s a vantage point we don’t get to see too often and like Butet said it’s really awesome to see Blake in his “element” on stage. That had to be really exciting for him. :D

What stories about DAVID A’s dad are surfacing.. I really need to know??? care about David A cuz he’s like only a little older than me.. did his dad hurt him???

I know. That’s a vantage point we don’t get to see too often and like Butet said it’s really awesome to see Blake in his “element” on stage. That had to be really exciting for him. :D

It is great, its too bad that people just won’t give his music a chance.

Love watching the Blake/BT/Sawka Miami youtube. I can’t get over how much Sawka and Blake resemble each other!

All I know is his dad is a meany face that made him cry…

What?? ;-) heeheee! Butet, you are a very bad influence on me!
It must be contagious because Butet is a bad influence on me too. Heh!

LOL, Bully and Pam. I swear I am a little angel. *evil smile*

Great find with the videos. *crosses fingers* I hope we get an album like this in the future.

LOL, Bully and Pam. I swear I am a little angel. *evil smile*

Butet,

So, I assume that smile comes with an invisible halo? Hee!

Oh, and more pics from the WMC are posted at the Blaker Girls LJ.

Oooh! Thanks Nikki! :)

Wow. love his smile in this one.

Me too newduck!

I’m glad he was able to do that there. Probably some of the same size audiences as AI tour maybe, though it looked larger. But, I’m betting the feeling was totally different and it was much, much, much more his element. Gratz to B for scoring that gig.
