The Blaker Girls rock, truly!

I just love Kristi! I feel like I know her. Blake is so lucky to have such great friends. THey are incredible.
Honestly I always thought Blake really wanted this, I am so proud of him.
He is doing the best he can to keep his game up to par with Melinda and Jordin. He showed his determination last week with that amazingly brave performance. EXCLAMATION POINT!

We have to keep him in! I want to see him up there with Daughtry. He deserves this!
GO TEAM PLAID! GO BLAKER GIRLS!

Great bulletin. Seems like this happens every year about this time. I firmly believe that if you like a contestant, the best thing you can do for them is help them win. The best way for us to do that is to vote every week. I’m down for that.

I heard JT also beatboxes every now and then and I found one of his live performancse on you tube, I mean he is good but his beatboxing is nothing compared to Blake’s.
And even if JT is a great performer I think Blake is even better. Maybe I am biased.

Check it out and tell me your opinions:(only if you have time)

The beatbox part is at 2:55. I just really never knew that Jt could beatbox.

The Cake thing has GOT to stop. I realize they are “BFF,” but what is with the fascination of teenage girls and their fantasies concerning males they perceive to be gay?? “I just don’t get it.” Heh.

Anyway, the first place contract IS widely speculated to be rather restrictive. And while Blake is creative and innovative, he’s not THE most groundbreaking artist out there, so he’d be okay. BUT Carrie and Kelly both had pretty bland, generic debuts with lots of crossover potential. Successful yes, but definitely formulaic. Blake is far from formulaic.

I think Blake could and would fight Clive’s bland hit-maker machine… but I’m not going to rehash my posts from a month ago talking about how the label is making a million dollar investment and doesn’t want to lose $$. Or how there is potential for a major clash of the “titans” with Blake demanding artistic control and Clive pulling the “I own your soul” strings and making him record “Places I’ve Been” and other schlocky Diane Warren ballads.

all i can say is GOOOO BLAAAAKKKEE! i really want him to win it and i know y’all do too. i just think he deserves it most…and its not because im biased i promise.

have fun watching tonight’s performance! boo to u eastcoasters who get to see it before i do (yaay for living in san diego and its not live when its filmed 2 hours away from here. haha.)

maracaibo - i don’t think its fair to compare jt and blake. blake is obviously on a whole other level because he’s been doing this for years. i think justin has only been beatboxing for a few. he did a beatbox battle with his drummer during the NSA tour (yes, NSYNC fan here hahaha). i couldn’t find a vid of it but yah.

Blake is definitely in another league. But in any case comparing JT to Blake is like comparing apples and oranges.

I am voting for Blake to win this thing or at least get to the finale.

Fionna, at least when we can’t vote anymore we’ll know you and others are working hard for him on the West Coast.

I added a pretty picture to this post. I thought it needed it.

Hope you guys enjoy the show tonight…to my home skillets pj, Sarah, LB2…I won’t be around MJ’s tonight b/c I’m going to watch the show at my mom’s. Happy voting to you all! Don’t forget to put Blake’s numbers up here on the blog!

I’m in for the voting. I’m just hoping it’s 2 hours instead of 4. Four is hard. I mean I plan on doing it again, when he makes the final round, but I hope tonight and next week are just 2 hours.

SAVE THE BEATBOXER SAVE THE WORLD! Gosh I am so nervous.

But anyway, this is for Someone - in case you don’t check the comments a couple of posts down…here’s the mp3 of Hyper!Blake you requested.

Point #2 is quite important. From what I can gather, the finalists are in a contract already of some sorts. Depending on placement, plans by TPTB, there are different promotional angles for the contestants that do get signed. The immediate months after the finale are advantageous in the amount of momentum, media and connections that could make for a very fruitful music career. You just can’t buy that window of opportunity. And release time and the conditions of the music landscape are factors that determine the outcome of the CD.
