Yep, it sure sounded like there was a problem with the mic. There were times when his mouth was saying oh-oh-oh, but nothing was audible.
If this album doesn’t catch on, I definitely think he should move behind the sound board. That is the kind of song that is selling big for others right now, and I’ll bet he would have success as a song writer/producer.
I agree, and I’ll always respect Blake for pushing Idol’s boundaries. Hmmm, I must like the “out there” contestants because my favs have been, by season: Blake, Jason, Adam.
Ah Blake. Idolotry is fleeting for some, isn’t it?
I’m a fan of Blake, loved ADD and really do like Sad Song. If he gets the proper support from Tommy Boy, and I believe he will, then I think the single will do very well. Anyone interested in street teaming can go to http://forums.idolbored.com/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=65 and sign up.
I love this song. I mean, the performance was a little rough, but give him a break… it was early when he filmed this. Look up the song on itunes to hear it recorded. Don’t just judge it by one performance.
I think his second album will be really good.
We have similar tastes. I’ll add Bo Bice and Allison to that list.
As for the interview, I finally watched (couldn’t at work). From the comments here, I thought he said something douchey like being the “real winner.” LOL. Glad that turned out not to be the case. Oh, and “This is My Now” was my least fave Blake performance, too.
Blake does have some mad skillz. I would also note that he’s the most original song re-arranger the show has had, since he didn’t depend on other people’s covers (which almost everyone who did obscure covers before or since has). I wish him well. I downloaded the tune and I like it. I don’t love it. I kind of wanted something that sounded a bit different from ADD, although I loved about 2/3 of ADD. I’m looking forward to the rest of the album.
Yes, sad about the record stores. I feel sadder for the small indie ones than Virgin or Tower, though.
I am just getting introduced to past American Idol talents. Did not watch Season 1-6 .
I have a very short memory for American Idol shows . My recollection of Season 7 is mostly the screams of our 9 year old over Archuleta.
Season 8 was another story. Woe unto those who gazed upon Adam Lambert .Tis the blight of all concentration.
Blake seems nice but his song seem like something he should have done two years ago. Did his initial album top the charts ? Is this single now the follow up of that first album ?
Yeah the costume is atrocious. Isn’t 19E representing him now ? No more stylist from 19E?
I watched the video and don’t think the place he preformed was made for music at all.I sort of liked the song and think is the best mixer that ever was on AI .I like him because unlike the same old v bread same old on idol I want something different…BTW was not enthralled with with some vocals og pop Idols on this blog.
His hair? Just no. His outfit? Just no. His song? Not sure. I wasn’t impressed with this performance but I’ll give him a pass because of the possible bad venue. I’ll give his second cd a chance. Did not really care for the first. I used to think Blake was kinda cute but not anymore. His rooster hairdo is downright distracting.
He’s on drugs, right?
Words fail me on this one…………… :thumbdown_tb:
Liked him on Idol 6 and he had a good, if not commercial successful, post Idol album. I thought when he sucked on “Break Anotha” live it was because he hates the song. After seeing this? I dunno. The Sergeant Pepper outfit is just awful, he’s looking bloated. I don’t mind the hair so much. I like this song but if this had been my introduction to it, I’d have just rolled my eyes. He MUST work on his live performances of album songs. It’s bizarre because it was fairly innovative and charismatic on the Idol stage when not handling the craptastic coronation song out of his range.
I never watched an entire show of AI until season 8. I would tune in the last ten or fifthteen minutes because “House” ran right after AI. Blake is the reason I did not watch any more than that. I tuned in and so him and his beat boxing and saw a few of Jordin’s performances. I thought that Blake was atrocious and Jordin was ho-hum. This performance — I’m speechless.
I thought he was signed by RCA records? Why didn’t they support him?
His microphone is plugged directly into that stupid box he trots around with him to push buttons and make stupid noises.
He killed his career with this one performance. I can’t see him ever recovering from this debacle. He is just a joke now.
Holy 80’s Batman! That sucked. Worst year of idol ever. Too bad Chris Sligh picked sucky songs that year because that guy had a wonderful voice and some really cool pre-idol songs. Good to see though that he is succeeding post AI.
That really was a sad, sad song. yikes, blake.
Music aside. If he just got his look and image together more, people might take him more seriously. He looks like crap with that skunk hair/awful cut and ridiculous outfit.
The performance wasn’t that bad. I thought it would be terrible, after reading the comments–I actually didn’t dare to play the performance for a while. But it was okay.
Blake is as creative and unconventional as ever, and I like him for that.
Man that was bad. I definitely pinpoint Blake as the trendsetter for rearranging songs on AI but I can’t believe he let his opportunity slip by. He’s going to need to perform much better during his few tv appearances than he did in this performance. He’s lost his looks so he’d better start bringing the good performances.
BTW, whatever happened to TeamPlaid? VFTW posted something about it shutting down from lack of traffic?
