I love this guy. He looks like the brother of Mike Boogie and I think he is very original. He’s got nothing to worry about, he’ll be around for quite awhile.

WOW…… i’m a huge country girl… ive never heard of this song….. but I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!
I would buy his CD if this song was on it. I absolutely think it’s the best song i’ve heard this year. Shew, he got my fat butt up dancing!!Simon…..feller, I usually think you are pretty accurate in your comments… but you are WRONG this time.

Vocally not the best performance but I think he OWNED the stage. It’s like seeing Justin Timberlake performed. That kind of confidence would bring this kid far. GO BLAKE!

I had doubts about him lasting long in the competition. Now I think he can make the Top 12.

He is so talented and sooo entertaining!!

Blake is still my favorite so far out of all of them – boys AND girls. I think he might be the most versatile in the competition, and he has a really nice easygoing charm.

I liked last week’s song better, though.

Love him!! He’s totally my favorite… this was great! He’s great!!!

i got up and hugged the television. i love him! he has the best musical ability of all the contestants in my opinion. i would buy his cd, and i don’t know if i could say that about anyone else. he is current, and he’s talented. i almost always agree with simon, but not this time.

This was my favorite of the night. There was just so much enthusiasm on the stage AND it was great vocally. Loved it.

he did an awesome job….i think he has a very marketable voice and image

I just love this guy so much!!! No he doesn’t have the best vocals, but I think he’s the best overall performer. He definitely knows how to entertain!
His singing isn’t bad either! A+!

I LOVE BLAKE!!! HE WAS THE BEST!! SIMON IS SO AGAINST HIS ORIGINALITY. I THINK RANDY HAS BEEN GETTING IT RIGHT SO FAR.

JennyC on February 27, 2007 at 11:22 pm

He is great. I hope he makes it big and I don’t doubt he will.

I loved Blake tonight. He is different,unique and great. I know he will go far on Idol. I don’t think he will ever put on a bad performance. Blake you are very cool and have a lot of charm.

Blake was awesome again! MJclarke – nice Mike Boogie reference. Awww, I miss Big Brother now.

Seriously? I mean he’s the only decent one in the boys this year. But sadly 6 of them has to proceed to top 12, which is sad. Because more than half of the girls are much more promising than the guys.

cool performance

shay on February 28, 2007 at 6:26 am

I think he’ll make top 12 but I have this sinking feeling that something will happen to him like it did to Chris Daughtry: his fans will get complacent because he is just that entertaining and in the end he’ll get voted off prematurely.

(Cany you tell that I thought the final should have been Daughtry and Elliott? Yeaaahhh…)

I’m so glad others were bothered by what Simon said. I think Simon knows Blake is his own man and Simon wants someone he can control. Blake is such a good all-around performer, singing, dancing, the emotion. He also has a great attitude. And quite a butt on him. I think he’s going to be a big star.

Brad3 on February 28, 2007 at 7:30 am

In the real world..he’s the only one I would pay to see in concert. He’s got the whole package..a true entertainer.

Totally shaggable, and the best performer of the night – at the very least he’s in the top two but I personally vote for the Top position.

His vocals weren’t all that. The performance was good though. He’s still one of my favorites but dang, if it that age of the male falsetto then I don’t what is.

shasta on February 28, 2007 at 10:02 am

YAH to the falsetto!

DeniseD on February 28, 2007 at 1:22 pm

His vocals were quite pitchy, but he’s a good performance and I liked the beat-boxing in this case. Let’s see how he does beat-boxing on the ballad week

what do we think kids, hair better up or down? i actually liked it down (as in his video clip). hate hate hated the hat.

Blake’s a star. He and Chris Sligh are really the only guys worth watching. Blake was awesome again.

Kimber on February 28, 2007 at 1:53 pm

This was an “in his own league” type of performance. I like other guys better personally, but realistically this one is probably the only male with a chance at the final.

reluctantidolfan01 on February 28, 2007 at 3:04 pm

personaly i think simon was just doing what he did with chris last year, if you looked at simons face you know he enjoyed it, but he pushed chris daughtry last year to keep improving each week. in the past it seems like somtimes ppl think some one did so great that they assume that persons safe and forget to vote or don’t bother to vote as much as they ussally would. i can’t wait to see what he’ll do when hes in the top 12.

He needs to sing a Jason Mraz song. If he sang Wordplay it would be amazing.

funktastic on February 28, 2007 at 7:47 pm

Blake is my favorite this year … totally ORIGINAL, very “now” and his song choice so far is great! Not choosing to sing songs that have been KILLED on AI. Oh yeah — he’s HOTT!!!

E-Fan Wendy on February 28, 2007 at 11:37 pm

QUESTION: a buddy of mine claims he picked up Blake on his “Gaydar” … does anyone know anything about this?!?! I HOPE he’s not cuz he’s my future BF, FYI

E-Fan Wendy on February 28, 2007 at 11:38 pm

Well, i think Blake is my Chris Daughtry of season 6! Not that they sound alike or anything, but i think i love Blake just as much as i love Chris! Hes just so gosh darn adorable and i cant stop listenin to his Virtual Insanity performance… the high notes make me weak in the knees! LOVE YOU BLAKE!!!!!!!!

Theresa on March 2, 2007 at 6:51 am

oh and i think funktastic is spot-on with Wordplay for a song choice… i think he would do an AMAZING job with it! GO BLAKE!!!
