Do you care? If so, check out JD’s Roberto’s interview with Haley Scarnato.
JD asks Haley if she and Blake Lewis “hooked up” over New Years… Rude! She declares herself a Blaker Girl and sidesteps the question. But after watching the interview, I’m kinda thinking she did.
She also performs “Crying” like she’s singing in a bar on a cruise ship. Heh.
Check the interview and performance after the jump!

Season 7 Top 16 - Elimination
Published by March 6th, 2008 in American Idol, Blake Lewis, Season 7, S7 Show Recaps and S7 Semi-Finals. 129 CommentsBlake Lewis performed his new single “How Many Words” - Video
The Top 12
- David Cook
- David Archuleta
- Jason Castro
- Brooke White
- Syesha Mercado
- David Herandez
- Michael Johns
- Ramiele Malubay
- Carly Smithson
- Amanda Overmyer
- Kristy Lee Cook
- Chikezie Eze -
Kady Malloy - Eliminated - Video
Luke Menard - Eliminated - Video
Asiah Epperson - Eliminated - Video
Danny Noriega - Eliminated - Video
Thanks Lawrence for the Videos!
If I could trade Danny Noriega for Chikezie and Asia’h Epperson for Kristy Lee Cook, I’d be deliriously happy with this Top 12. The fierce and fabulous Danny Noriega would have added much entertainment to this year’s cast. It’s too bad we’ll never see his break-out performance. It would have come. The boy can sing.
Asia’h Epperson is a talented singer who suffered from mundane song choices. Kristy Lee Cook pretty much coasted into the Top 12 on her looks and the good graces of TPTB, who seem to love her. Once the boys and girls are competing together, I predict she’ll have a tough time.
Overall, however, I’m happy with the cast and look forward to the competition, and more break-out performances from David Cook, Jason Castro and Brooke White. Carly Smithson is winning fans (well, maybe not the Fanjayas. Heh.) and will go deep. If Micheal Johns steps up his game, he’ll go far as well. Danny Archuleta, the Boy Wonder, will no doubt march his way right up to the Top 3 and beyond.
I dig Blake Lewis’s new single.
My recap, after the JUMP.
