Ohh, and those pictures that greeneyes brought over in the last thread are amazing!! They may be some of the best pictures of Blake I have ever seen. He is gorgeous. Love this one, and this one.

PS. I am still chuckling at the comment Kasia made, about how Sawka still can’t believe that his friend Blake was a part of something like AI! Funny.

Bully,

Sometimes, I think Blake still can’t believe he was on AI.

I had to get a new username because something was messed up with mine. And it took me like a week, because every time I got a new one and put in the password it said it was wrong!! But now it works again, so I am finally back!!

And I love those pics!!

I am looking forward to seeing some pictures from the event. I am also wondering what songs Blake performed.

WARNING: They are extremely gorgeous. Hehehe. He looks like he had a lot of fun!

All I can say is that those pants are incredible…they show off his um ….eyes well, yeah that’s it. And I ain’t talking about the luscious booty…though that’s nice too.

I have 400 or so pictures to go thru and finish cropping, editing, and cleaning up when I have the time. Most of them or of Blake Lewis, Wyclef, & Pitbull. So keep an eye on the Flickr for those eventually.

Ooooooh. Blake nirvana! Everyone keep an eye out for these!

Looks and sounds like everyone had a blast. I would have loved to have been able to go. Hopefully *crossing fingers* it brings Blake more people as fans!!!

EOTW, Did you see the comment about beatbox babies…I thought that was so cute hehe.

I did!

I did too!

Looks like Blake and Kevin had fun with the concert. Good for them. That is why they are great live because they love what they do and to perform for the crowd.

Yes, it is a good thing. Plus, I can see how the fans can excited when they see Blake. It was just so loud. LOL.

I think people in HMW video were trying to buy or get a bottle of water. But it looked strange on the video. And yes, Blake sounded great singing HMW.

So maybe we will be going after all. Yay.

Man Blake needs to start selling those CD’s at venues. Not many people, even though they liked Blake would go out and buy the album. Having them right there at the venues would let people buy them right then and there after he performed.

Bshorty4L, love that idea.

I am sort of getting ticked off. You know we have this region in America called the south. Specifically Texas. Even more specifically Houston. The 2nd largest State and the 4th largest city in America. And why oh why are there no stops here??? Anyone answer me!

BUT Keep voting on XMfan upop 29 ..BA played 6/1/08 yesterday no but today i plugged…actually talked to the DJ and pissed (xm 20 on 20) he did not played HMW but used my quip..grrrr

repeating bhorty4L…how was the CDS sales??? hopefully his appearance at the Kfest and canal he picks up sales..

Thanks for the video Kasia. He sounded great!!!! He really is a great live performer. Really gives it his all.

oh another ??? do you think Blake’s new manager is the one responsible for the new gigs or these gigs (kfest and Canal)as well as radio interviews had already be set bEFORE the new manager took over?

I’m pretty sure he has the same management (19E) but a new publicist.

It is just a rough estimate. You are probably looking at over 90 miles. That would be around 2 hour drive. It depends where you will be starting in Philly. I would suggest using google maps to get driving directions and getting estimated driving time.

If you are thinking about taking a train, it would be about the same, about 2 hours from 30th street station in Philly.

Anyone see any numbers for record sales last week?

Skipperdjl,

The USA Today guy is apparently on vacation for a few weeks. He’s the usual source for sales numbers, so I don’t think anyone has posted them from last week.

It’s been nice to see all the great pics and positive comments from KFEST. Looks like it was fun!

Yay for a great gig like the Canal Room!

wait will the whole A.D.D band be there or just Blake? and i wonder what songs (t)he(y) would do.

Blake said on his MySpace in the show description that it will be a one hour solo loop based show. I’m expecting the new ADD stuff mixed with old (LOVE IT), i.e. Emotional Waterfalls, SLTW, etc.

By the way…where IS everyone?

Thanks to all who posted the KFest vids - Blake really is best at performing live. I wonder why he didn’t do his looping stuff?

On another note, I wish that the itunes downloads started in Blake’s year - though he is a live musician, I thought all his recorded AI tunes sounded great, esp. Love Song and Time of the Season. I wonder if he would have surpassed DAvid Cook’s almost million downloads.

No doubt.

Blake sent a bulletin about this upcoming show in New York. He reiterated that it will be one hour intimate show with his loop pedals, keyboard, and guitar. I am expecting an awesome live show. If I get pictures from the show or videos, Team Plaid site will be the fist place to share.

Okay, the BLArmy sent out a Bulletin on MS, and linked us to CindyLooHoo’s report of KFest. I am trying very hard not to be jellus! I am SO glad she had pics, and shared with us how great it all was. Blake sounded really sweet, too.:-) Lucky girl.(I flailed a little bit at the calling her on her cell, part. I’ll admit it!)

A list of the dates thus far is there, and they are asking fans who want to help to join in. greeneyes? This could be a great opportunity for you!

Maybe Canal is like that…

He did! I chatted w/ Cindy that night and she was over the moon. I’m so glad that the BLArmy set up the whole thing for her! Now if we could just get him somewhere other than NY! Blake is very appreciative of the work his fans are doing for him and has no problem letting us know all about it :D

jenlar Now if we could just get him somewhere other than NY!

Yes I know what you mean…although I am lucky enough to be able to go the NYC this time around!!! I think I’m flying out of Indianapolis but we haven’t quite got that set in stone yet?

but…I’ve come up with a question.

I was purchasing my ticket for the canal room and while doing that it said you had to be 21 or over to attend that event? I thought it was changed to all ages? I’m 23 so I’m obviously able to still go but I was confused aswell. Does anyone know anything about this?

-Because they want to get his record out earlier (this fall,) instead of previous debuts that were realeased in early december.

okay..what with this??? Archuleta gets a record deal with 91E/Jive Records….how come we had to wait almost 3 mths for confirmation of Blake’s record deal.

SO much word. I thought the same thing when I read it. Why are they all-over S7 like they are? Whiplash from S6 disdain? Don’t get me wrong, I’m GLAD that babyDavid and even D Cook didn;t have to wait for an announcement like we did (which was nervewracking for those who loved Blake) but gosh…they seem very eager to capitalize on the OMG and rivalry of S7.
If you think of it tho, Blake and Jordin were just as diverse as Cook and babyDavid, you know? Hmm. Lessons learned by TPTB, or a different tack?

Loved all the pics, recaps, vids from Kfest. I would have loved to have been there! Blake sounded awesome!

UGO

OK, I’m sort of feaking out here. According to the blurb, he has a new single coming out? Am I reading that right??????

He may have been a runner-up on the sixth season of American Idol, but singer/songwriter and beatboxer, Blake Lewis is still a winner. And with his album (A.D.D.) Audio Day Dream still pushing out singles like “Break Anotha,” “How Many Words” and the upcoming, “Know My Name/Hyper Psyche” (featuring Lupe Fiasco), Lewis, in an exclusive interview with UGO, is out prove to that he can “beat box” any competition.

I think the Hyper Psyche is the little music/sounds right after Know My Name and before How Many Words.

I agree that this song could be a smash especially with Lupe on it.

I think the Hyper Psyche is the little music/sounds right after Know My Name and before How Many Words.

Yes, Hyper Psyche is the interlude between Know My Name and How Many Words.

Blake is unstoppable. A new track with BT, Roots for the AIDS charity, with Kevin. Working on a new album? That sounds like a lot of things coming out.

I hope that it is true too. I never dreamed we would get another single. I also like the idea of Kevin and Blake working together. They mesh well with each other, are great friends and room together, so great things can happen. I also love when they do the “Drum battling” live in the concerts. The audience also really seems to love it!

WHOA…I”M am SOooo surprised to see another release GREAT NEWS

??? if mgt does not support air time. how can we get this new single to be played??????

request time ……

BUT does this mean more TV exposure?????????/ yes this is all sounding yummy

another note: the 2 interns we hire for the summer, their brother is a biggy on TMZ…..I requested they have BLake on and of course, I want front row, front seat…but the most important factor, is getting him more exposure

Last thought:

maybe we could have a poll on what song we would like Blake to sing at CANAL…and the best line from the song that you like? I know which song I would request? I know we all have favorites but I thought this would be fun again

Imagine professional dancers dancing on So you think you can dance to Blake’s song. I see jive routine going well with that.

The vid you linked let me find this one, from a CBS interview, which I’d never seen before. He talks about the “pesky gay rumors” (a year later?), and it’s just so great how he’s all, Whatever. He is very cool. Times like that, I’m proud to be on his chuckwagon.

What ARE we anyway? A possee? A following? A gaggle or perhaps a herd? *smirk*

Kasia Thanks! :-) That makes me feel good, you know? It’s out there and being used, and it’s so neat to see!

I felt so bad about those rumors, poor guys. And why did the reporter have to metion his ex (while making it clear that she is female)name?

And why did the reporter have to metion his ex (while making it clear that she is female)name?

OMG– I thought the same thing. WHY name her like that?? How embarrassing for her, and him too. It’s one thing for them to say, Yeah it was written after an ex-girlfriend of mine, and then another to call her out like that. :-/ Very unprofessional, IMO. (Blake looked surprised at it, too.)

Blake’s been pretty forthcoming with sharing how the song came to being, but I think what is the real point of the song is, we all have been there in a relationship that was toxic to us yet had a hard time leaving. Even if it was just a friendship, we all have had that moment of, I’ve got to go. Concentrating more on the human elements of why a song speaks to us is maybe a better tack to take. Anything else makes it mudslinging, gives her a black eye.
