I’m rooting for Blake. I hope his new stuff bears a little more resemblance to his pre-Idol music. IMO the cuts on his album suffered from being homogeneized for mass consumption.

I can not stand Blake Lewis. On the show, I thought he had no talent at all in the voice department. Everyone kept saying “No!!! He’ll do well!!! He’ll make top 3 and then go on to make a great record.” Well I felt pretty stupid when he made top 2. haha but his record sucked and he was dropped within 9 months and now he is desperately touring the country pretending that getting dropped from a major record label was a “good idea”. But at least he’s doing better than his washed up friend Chris Richardson, who seems to have floated into space.

At the risk of coming across as an apologist for Blake Lewis, which is not my intention, I do think there have been quite a few interviews in which he did express himself politely and respectfully. There have also been some in which he did not. I don’t like everything he does musically but overall I enjoy what he creates. IMO, an artist regardless of their genre puts their work on display and thatÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s what ultimately draws a positive or negative response from viewers or listeners. If they also happen to be entertaining, all the better. If they ruffle a few feathers, who in this world hasnÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t? If someone happens to become wildly successful, great. If not, the sun still rises every morning. ThereÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s room for everybodyÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s point of view.

Nooooo, I donÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t think the Blake hate is OTT. We are just Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…â€œbrutally honest.Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ I thought this is a trait that should be admired.

Heh. I think it’s OTT, but knock your socks off. He’s fair game. For the record, I never said that being “brutally honest” is a trait that should be admired. In fact, I think Blake’s foot in mouth disease has caused him some harm. Not to the extent some believe, but I know he’s turned some people off. However, in my world, that doesn’t make him a bad guy. It just makes him human.

I’m a huge Jason fan, and I guess he said something about Jason (alluded to above… funny how I don’t even know all of Blake’s faux pas, but people who don’t like him do)? I seriously doubt it was a personal attack, but a personal preference. They’re miles apart musically. And honestly, I don’t need Blake’s to like all the same artists I do and I’m not offended if he doesn’t.

I think that video is hilarious! If it offends certain people, then they donÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t have to watch it. And just to note, havenÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t we all seen that video posted here like a 100 times already? GEESH. After all this time, doesnÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t anyone have any new ammo against Blake? IÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m tired of all the rehashes. I donÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t mind people dissing Blake (since everyone is entitled to their own opionions), but it would be a lot more interesting if people had new material.

Sorry is te video was already posted, maybe I didnÃƒâ€š ´t saw it… I was just put in an example of what I didnÃƒâ€š ´t loke about him, my personal opinion not the general point of view

I wasnÃƒâ€š ´t dissing Blake, since I didnÃƒâ€š ´t even had follow his carear, but since IÃƒâ€š ´m new to the world of AI I just know him as last year runner up who was dropped by his label… but my point of view is that no mather how talented you are if you are new in the bussines is sometimes better to take a humble approach and actitude toward media, and at the moment to criticized another artist (doesnÃƒâ€š ´t matter if this is part of the AI family or not)… by example Jordin, Gina and other Idols from previous seasons said that they will choose Cook over Archuleta, if I remember well A.J. and Yamin said that they will like Archie, to win but they always were very respectful about it…Cook is a good example of a correct behaivoir, when he had said something that migh offend someone he has taked the first step to correct it…

Even now Blake seem to need to learn a little about how to said things:

Finally, a label that wants to workÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦

Maybe is because I actually have worked recluiding people, but I wonÃƒâ€š ´t want anybody in my office who talks bad about previous jobs… but then again that just my opinion…

ETA: I don’t have a problem with that video. But I think the video and ‘titties in your mouth’ drove away a lot of fans for Blake.

WhoÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s that? Chris and Ace? ThatÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s hilarious, I never heard that one! LOL.

Yep! I’m surprised you missed it! Hahaha.

ETA: A quick youtube search yielded this:

ETA: Mac, I have no problem with that vid, either. Admittedly, I probably should be a teenage boy because I enjoy potty humor. *runs off to buy a whoopee cushion*

I donÃƒâ€š ´t think Blake falls from grace was because only for dissing Idols, he is just plain weird,I think during his time he didnÃƒâ€š ´t made the right decision about how to act and what to said… this video is a good example of why a person like me who didnÃƒâ€š ´t new the artist wonÃƒâ€š ´t be taking him really serious:

I wish him luck, he was my favorite for season 6.

Oh, Blake. LOL. I actually think he’d be just fine signed to a smaller label and storming the dance scene. I see him more as a producer-type anyway. I thought he’d be like One Republic – one popular album, off to write/produce for other people after that. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be. Proving I don’t know what the hell I am talking about. Hee. His album was good, but it was a little too off the track for these major label types IMO. You know they don’t know what to do with anyone too different, especially if they come off Idol. No one wants to come up with a whole new marketing strategy or grow any non-traditional audiences for an Idol. 1. There’s not enough time for all that and 2. They want a quick buck. He’s creative though, he should be fine in the long run.

What offends people when an Idol insults and attacks another Idol is that it feels like a family member hurting another family member. Considering theyÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re all in the same boat they should at LEAST show some respect towards each other.

I can appreciate that sentiment. But, my feeling is that once the Idols leave the show, all bets are off. They step out of the Idol bubble and into the real world. I like hearing what’s really on their minds vs. carefully phrased diplomatic sound bites. I can agree or disagree, but I won’t come away hating their guts.

I mean, Kimberley Locke said Jason Castro is as dumb as a box of rocks, and while I’m a Jason Castro fan, and I think her statement is stupid, I still can appreciate her singing ability.

I happen to think Blake is talented. Not Kanye-level talented, of course, not even close. But what Idol is? And anyway, I don’t think speaking one’s mind should be a right reserved only for musical geniuses, IMHO.

There’s been lots of Idols dissing Idols in the show’s history, that’s nothing new. It keeps covering the program interesting, that’s for sure.

Hey Blake! Thanks for the hits! Heh.
