Here is a raw interview that Chris Rich did earlier tonight. He hopes at some point for both him and Blake to move out to LA. He is really sweet in this.

Thanks for posting that Pam. He really is a sweetheart. Hard to believe this is their last week together on tour.
I know Blake keeps saying he is going to live in Seattle, but I so could see him and CRich getting a place together in LA. Plus Ethan is moving down there. Who knows:)
Anne,
You are exactly right. I can see that happening too.
Pam, thanks for the link to the interview. This makes me ridiculously happy. :)
LOL! Your welcome. You can’t help but love him after you watch that.
You know, I think the vast majority of people who followed Blake on tour this summer has also fallen in love with C Rich. The boy is GORGEOUS, but he’s also so media savvy/smart…. He’s grown so much as a performer, and he’s just plain ADORABLE. And he’s talented! I liked him well enough at the beginning of the tour, but now, honestly, I am almost as obsessed with him as I am with Blake.
My thoughts exactly! The BFF’s just can’t be torn apart from one another!
ITA!
I think he seems to be like a really sweet and wonderful person, and I do think his and Blake’s friendship is very genuine. And that in itself makes me smile. With that being said, I still haven’t fallen in love with the voice. I think he sounds fine when he is singing with someone else, I just still can’t get behind him when it is just him singing. However, that is just me.
Still I’m very excited to see what happens next for him, and the rest of the idols for that matter.
Anyway, enough about CRich…saw a recap from the show that said it was wonderful, and that they really enjoyed Blake, Phil, Melinda, Jordin and of course CRich.
ETA When I said enough about CRich, I just meant that was all I said to say on the matter:)
WELL I HOPE THEY DO CAUSE I LIVE IN LA YAYAYA I AM EXCITED
Thanks for posting this. Blake and Chris were always my favorites on the show, and to see that they’re best friends is just so cool. Chris seems to be a really nice guy, and I just wish him and Blake a ton of success.
Three majorly hot men in LA? You know they are gonna kick up a storm! i wonder if LA can handle all that hottness at once..
I have been wondering the same thing.
If all three get an apt together I
could totally see that. Wonders if we
should warn LA of the three amigos
hi jinks. Think it would be a good
ideal though all kidding aside they
all could benefit from that arrangements
in my opinion.

There are a couple of reviews out from last nights show, one I will post and the other…not so much.
http://www.dailypress.com/news/dp-now-idolpreshow-0918,0,6962903.story?coll=dp-auto-utility
“…in the end, Sparks and Lewis, Idol’s top two contestants, seemed the nights true stars. Lewis got plenty of stage time for his human beatbox routing, but he also sang well and performed like a seasoned entertainer.”
The other review was brutal of the whole show, so not worth posting. Though the funny thing is it is the review from Hampton Roads, the one that did the video of them all at the club.
Here is a clip from the aftershow party last night.

Hey thanks for those awesome clips and great review for Blake.
Of course Blake is the star of the show.
That’s exactly how I feel about Chris.
I like him as a person and maybe singing along with somebody else, but just himself as a solo artist, sorry but he is just meh to me. That’s just my tiny humble opinion anyway.Blake IMO is a million times better in every aspect.
Ok,don’t shoot me just being honest. I love Chris too as the great guy and friend he is to Blake.
Wow, that review was brutal. Like you, it made me roll my eyes at the thought that hampton roads had those great videos of the idols, only to trash them in the concert review? This felt like it was written even before the show started. *shakes head*
Hey this is totally off topic, but I just found a you tube clip of way back in May where Kat, Daughtry and Maroon 5 say who they will ike to win between Jordin and Blake. It was a Z100 specail event.
Please take notice of what Adam from M5 had to say about Blake, they really respect him and of course wanted him to win. I really hope they can tour together next year.
Enjoy:

Sorry to post this here, but I dunno where else.
I can’t view that clip now, but I remember it. Didn’t Levine call B a “little hustler” and in a Village Voice interview tell the reporter sorry if he sounded like he was making fun of Blake? I don’t know, I don’t think that’s happening but maybe if Arista pays for it, M5 will allow him to open sometimes. But who knows, every other thing B hinted at seems to be happening. If y’all think it’s a good thing then that’s great.
Anne and Maracaibo, ITA about Chris Rich. I’m very happy he has a more active fanbase now, so hopefully there can be less C Rich stuff on all the Blake threads/fansites/forums. I wish him well, and think the Jason Mraz style totally suits him, but I’m not getting his album though I bet it’ll be good.
It’s like if you came on Team Plaid, hypothetically, to read Blake news, and all you got was OMG Haley’s so pretty! all the time. Anyway, just a personal preference and NOT a critique of anyone.
I totally understand what you are saying. Although for me, it’s great, since I am a fan of both. :)
I really love the responses that I’m seeing here and I do agree that Chris Rich seems like a very sweet genuine guy but I’m not into him that much when it comes to him singing by himself, but put him doing the duets with Blake and it’s fantastic although I do hope he ends up being successful and just like with Blake, I hope that he can get a good record deal but also remain grounded.
Here is a link to some pics from last night’s concert from the Daily Press. The only pic of Blake out of these photos is where he is being silly and hiding under Jordin’s dress! hee!

Here is an interview from Fox43 last night of Chris Rich & Blake. Seems as if the decision on the first single is still up in the air right now but the interview was good.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMRYz6DvF3w
This is priceless!!! *LOL*!!
I know. I had to save that one! hehehe!
I’m still puzzled by the costume designer for the tour. Why, oh why, would you willingly strap a parachute to Jordin’s body when she’s not jumping out of a plane?????? Hmm…perhaps that’s why Blake is so attracted to that dress…he is into skydiving. Perhaps they stole HIS parachute to put on Jordin’s dress and he’s just trying to get it back?
That sounds like a reasonable explanation to me! hee!
lol Laura
You guys crack me up with the parachute dress! Did anyone else notice, or am I the only one that it really bugs that they refer to them in the news clip as Season 7 finalists???
Have been too distracted by the video of Blake and Shaymali dancing in the Norfolk club to add anything of significance.
*Must snap out of it.*
Any recaps from Hampton?
Where is the show tonight? Anybody?
Baltimore.
why was the danceing freak i could not see the vid thats why i am asking
Memo,
Yes. Hot and smooth but not outrageous.
Here’s a short clip from the beatbox collaboration with the drummer and bass player…it’s more CRich centric, but at least it has good audio and you can hear Blake.
Here is a video of Chris Rich & Blake backstage in Hampton.

Backstage ‘Idol’ antics you didn’t see after the concert.
Blake was a hoot in this!
