Sorry I haven’t posted in awhile…we moved and I’m finally ready to get back on the computer.

Exciting to read that HMW is now #11 on the dance charts. I heard HMW playing at a pizza place I was at a couple of nights ago. I’m not sure who was more excited, me or my children;) Anyway, it sounded great. It followed Chris Browns ‘Forever’. Still not sure why it didn’t take off on radio…*scratches head*.

Lack of label support would be one of the reasons is my guess

Please come back with more teasers, that is what helps us keep going on here and things to look for.

Yes please Big D! Like Kasia said, we need carrots dangled in front of us and we’ll take any little scraps to keep us going. Please don’t make us beg!

On a selfish note, Blake mentioned in the D-list article that he wanted to do a voice-over for a Pixar film. Can I just say I would die a happy happy woman if that would happen. I LOVE Pixar movies. I think Pixar people are creative geniuses. And to marry my two obsessions would simply be Nirvana. *Please Blake, make it so*

Thanks to everyone who signed Blake’s birthday card. It looks great!

Here is a recap from the Blarmy over at IdolBored. They are promising photos and videos soon greeneyesxo. I am dying to see more also.

I definitly think it was lack of label support because awhile back i sent a txt to Q102’s morning show with booker and he sent me a text back saying he was dropped from his label they would never play him. but this was before he WAS dropped. if dj’s and people thought he was already dropped then maybe thats why it didnt get much radio play? just a guess :)

Thanks to all who posted the videos and interviews these last few days. Loved, loved, loved the interview in DList magazine. He looked mighty fine in the behind the scenes video too. Very hot.

Also, YAY to HMW being # 11!!!

I personally think it’s a really good sign, the X-Fests and Jingle-Bell-like concerts using him for their line ups. Obviously, they don;t see him as a “dead”, just a smaller talent waiting to break out. IMO, the more he does these things, the more radio will be cooperative. It’s a small world after all. By the time we see something happen, there are all kinds of behind the scenes stuff that made it so.

Hey Anne! :-) I played the most recent KTLA performance of HMW for my Mom, and she was like, “I’ve heard that song before, when I was having lunch, at Wendy’s.” Must have been put on their muzak disc! Yay!

It looked that the crowd was really into Blake’s set. They showed quite a few guys in the audience rocking and bopping during Blake’s performance. I am glad Blake had a great time and the audience was responsive and supportive.

Blake was sweet to them too, which makes me all squishy.

Bully, I just love the way you describe things. You always bring a smile to my face.

Edited, because a link helps :)

Thanks for bringing over the nice EW mention Kasia. I really appreciated what he said, and his support for Blake still. Happy Birthday to Blake. A new, free year is just begun!

I just found this poll and am posting it everywhere. lol
YOu can vote more than once.
I think its about 50 ish times.
But not really sure.

I liked Sleazaks article. Too bad there are the disenchanted to contend with in the comment section. I recognized a few of you ladies names and a guy or two… Bless you all. good or bad.

I’m anxious for the tour. Are you?
hugs, d

I’m anxious for the tour. Are you?

Yes, very much so!

The latest interview with BLArmy and IB was nice to see, however informal. The way he rapped off a reply or two makes me wonder where’s he’s at, and conspicuous as a fangirl. He does however sound very determined, and that will hold him in good stead, for the future endeavors. The music industry isn’t kind to those easily quashed, eh? He strapped his boots on, so he seems ready for the trek ahead. I’m proud of his determination definitely, so all I can say to that is Go Get ‘em, Boy.

Thanks for coming and checking in, BigD. We love hearing from you.

For those of you who do not have access to myspace, Bully mentioned Blake’s interview, here is link to BLArmy myspace where you can read the blog.

Blake mentioned there that his management is currently working on tour. That is very encouraging news.

I’m anxious for the tour. Are you?

YES YES YES!!!!

Gee, a tour, there’s a novel concept to promote an artist *I’m looking at you Arista*

Have a great weekend. I’m going to the show tonight, so I’ll take a video or two and if they turn out I will post them. At least some stills….
Hugs, D

*keeps voting at musiqtone*

Speaking about voting, Blake’s video was also among the contestants for best male video on MTV. But this poll is closed.

Oooooh ya know what that reminds me of? 8 is… August. I was just thinking about those charity events Chris and Blake were supposed to be doing together this August. Does anyone know about that? BigD? Perhaps you have some insight about that? I can’t waiiiiit until they announce them, if they’re going to happen.

A few interesting pieces of information in the article such as Blake doing a track with Nick Hexum for the album, his workschedule (12 hour a day of), and a few others.

She *is* green-minded however, so maybe she’s not too out of line for him, eh? They would have the tiniest, prettiest babies ever together.:-)

I saw Natalie Portman on Project Runway also Bully (I love that show!). Hee, I thought of Blake the minute I saw her.

I love this quote about all his studios: “It’s like our little hobbit village.”

Sounds like a lot of things coming up: September tour, new song with Derude, new song on BT’s album and Blake’s new album. Can’t wait for it all! Glad he is continuing with what he loves to do!
