    Angelia, I was commenting on the video. I haven’t seen it on my tv yet, but it will be interesting to compare the two versions when I get home from work.

    It wasn’t perfect, but I enjoyed it. I’m not mad atcha Blake! I did think the self-harmonization part was cool. I’ve seen pre-Idol videos of him singing live and looping his own beats that were really good, so I have high hopes for this improving.

    LisaB, I think he has a future in production as well.

    are all these comments re the video or the actual appearance

    I saw it on tv this morning.

    Blake seems like a sweet guy and definitely cute, but enough already with the Maroon 5. Move on!

  • xoxoyc

    What the HELL was THAT?

  • jpfan

    If the Idol gig fails, he can start a Maroon 5 tribute band.

    no blake said he was going to do that on tour…with the loops. loops are cool…just fix glitches.

    kt tunstall does almost every song with loops. go see her live.

    I love that Blake tried something different. The technical difficulties were distracting, but he handled it well and I could see what he was trying to do.

    In a way it was better than performances by winners on Regis & Kelly in years past, where there’s just a rinky-dink piano to sing with. The sound on those performances were disappointing in their own way too.

    At least the overall sound quality seemed to be better for Blake with all his gizmos. Too bad the timing was off.

    I haven’t seen KT Tunstall live but I have seen her on several TV appearances. Her loops, etc., blow me away – it seems effortless for her.

    Hopefully, it will seem effortless for Blake by the time the tour starts. :-)

    What the heck was that? It was a mess. But I still like Blake, he seems like such a sweetie. But seriously, what was that?

  • Giggy

    Love Blake, love what he is doing but today’s performance just flat out went wrong. And that happens from time to time. Wasn’t the first, won’t be the last.

    I read all the comments, then watched the video and Blake’s performance exceeded the expectations that had been created by the comments.

    I thought he sounded great.

    Don’t know how many are familar with kt tunstall, but she’s terrific
    expecailly on “Suddenly I See.” Likely most have forgotten but back in AI4, a contestant named Katharine McPhee did a kt tunstall song, called ‘Black Horrse and Cherry Tree’ and it was pretty good. (hehe)

    Say hello to Dallas for me.

    I watched it on TV and it does sound much better than on my carpy speakers at work. I still love that he harmonizes with himself. I also think LB2 explained the glitches perfectly. Nothing that can’t or won’t be fixed. :)

  • Lisa B

    I’ve seen KT live, Blake has nothing on her performance wise.

    He’s talented but I’m not convinced he’s a performer.

  • maracaibo

    I think Blake is an awesome performer and he showed that on AI.
    Don’t you remember his You GIve Love a Bad Name or Time of the Season, I Need To Know, performances? Those were HOT.
    I really think that with time Blake will become a HUGE star. Can’t wait to see his career evolve.

  • star

    I think Blake is an excellent performer. Geez, he brought a mini-rock concert to the AI stage with his first performance of “You Give Love A Bad Name.” I thought it was as good as anything I’ve ever seen on any awards show.

    Anyway, thanks for recording this MJ! After reading all the comments earlier today I was scared. It was fine – he overcame that little glitch at the beginning nicely. As I understand it, he performs “She Will Be Loved” a lot at his shows in Seattle. Maybe he was just a little nervous today (and got thrown for a loop *snerk* at the start).

  • pj

    ITA agree that he’s an excellent performer. I really didn’t realize at first watch why he had to make the intro longer because he covered so well for it. There was a great report on teamplaid.com from someone who was lucky enough to be in the studio audience. No worries in my mind at all for Blake. :)

  • scooter

    Had a glitch at the beginning and the end-but the in between-I loved it:) I like that song and his voice is perfect for it. Sometimes things mess up and the important thing is to work it out without panicking. He worked it out and didn’t have a melt down. Kudos Blake.

    The recap at Team Plaid was good. He and Jordin were also on TRL yesterday which I missed. No performance but a cute bit with Blake beatboxing and Jording singing at the end. Here’s a link to clips of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnwW2A0VoW0
