Blake Lewis and Doug E. Fresh: You Gotta Love it
Blake Lewis didn’t win American Idol but having the chance to perform with Doug E. Fresh aka the original human beatbox is not a bad consolation prize. Check Blake’s =very plain= Myspace page, you’ll see has a link to The Temple of Hip-Hop, an organization started by KRS-One that promotes the core culture of hip-hop. Blake isn’t blindly spitting on the mic when he’s remixing the music with his mouth.
The performance with Doug E. Fresh starts off shaky, then the beatbox back-and-forth begins and it’s over. Blake Lewis really went boom for bip with him. Behind those dark shades I think even Doug E Fresh had a raised eyebrow - “This kid is going in.”
MTV caught up with Blake after last night’s show.
MTV: Let’s talk about your collaboration [with Doug E. Fresh]. Sorry, Bette Midler, but Blake’s performance was definitely the hottest thing tonight. Was it a dream come true?
Lewis: That was Doug E. allowing me to hang out with him on stage, and that was an honor. Forever etched in my brain. It was one of the hottest times I will ever have on stage. It was just a dream come true. Hopefully I’ll get to get him in the studio, and we’ll have to do, like, a beatbox track, you know? Get something really down.
And he’s already conjuring up future collaborations for that “child of the 80’s meets Duran Duran meets Michael Jackson’s “Bad” meets Maroon 5, jazzy vocals, something you can dance to” album.
.. there’s so many amazing producers out there.. I like DJ Shadow, I love Dan the Automator. Will.I.Am is an amazing producer, and he lives in that realm of hip-hop, dance and pop. ... I’d love to work with anyone that would really want to work with me. I’d love to work with Danger Mouse and Gnarls Barkley and Cee-Lo. Robin Thicke ... The possibilities are endless. I’m putting it out there. If you want to do something, call me!
You think Justin Timberlake will call him, or is that competition?

This performance was the best so far on American Idol!!! I LOVE IT!!!!! He sounds better than Doug anyway, lol. I really think Blake should of won. He is so talented, and different from all the other singers. He might become more famous than Jordin anyway, at least thats wat happend to Kathrine Mcphee, and Chris Daughtry. I LOVE HIM!! Go BLAKE!!

Blake your the best performer ever, but Jordin is the better singer. Nonetheless, I voted for you like 20 times every tuesday. Please teach me how to beat-box.
Blake you are my American Idol! Since I have been watching you, my family and work has had the pleasure of hearing me TRY to beatbox! You are exciting to watch on stage, you have great energy and always having fun. I am excited to see you in SLC on tour!
How many times will they say Doug E. Fresh!
Everybody loves cheese and bacon though!
YOUR THE BEST !!!
I think jordan shouldn’t have won, no doubt shes got talent but every american idol ends up with the same sounding winner every time.. they need something new and blake was the change they needed.

I voted about 1000 times on Tuesday.. i really he won, but that’s ok, Blake you have a bright future ahead of you, good luck! I will always support you! And that performance was REALLY awesome, the greatest thing of the night, all the other things sucked 😊

Hey I think you were AWSOME blake! I really like your beet boxing!
blake yuor crazy i can do have your beats but its allgood your a way better singer then i ever would be holla at me when you get your new cd
By some of Blake’s interviews thet he knows music and the industry. He is a way better performer than Jordan. Jordan got her oppertunities from her rich dad, voice lessions for years, home school to focus on sining. I bet she did not mix her music.
Blake started because he did not get drums when he was a kid. What did he do? Created his own! Blake took little know songs, and made them great…
Blake you are so entertaining and generous. Your offering to let Jordan choose whether she wanted to go first or second when you won the coin toss showed America what kind of
person you are.
I loved your performance Tuesday night with Doug E. Fresh. You may not have won Idol but you will be a huge success!
Blake - you are the “American Idol” - You are a stand out performer, loved watching & hearing you every Tuesday. Will miss you, put out an album soon.
OMG!!!! I LOVE you blake! I know that you are going to go farther than Jordin anyway! Keep up the great work, can’t wait for your cd, I’m going to be 1st in line!!!!!!!!!!
From a hip mom who loved the American Idol show mainly to watch you Blake. You make me melt with shivers. Your beautiful voice has brought me to tears. You are a much better singer than Jordan, she was simply the safe choice. I know you will go farther. I was actually depressed that Jordon won. It put a damper on my whole night. I look forward to your 1st CD! Love you man. Stay real.
I think you are not only an amazing beatboxer but also a great singer!! You are so unique and I love it. I can’t wait to see you on tour!!! I love you!
I loved seeing you sing every tuesday night!!!!..you chris and melinda were my favorite….jordin does have an excellent voice like you..but you are a better perfomer…i also loved seeing you beatbox anytime on tuesday but the best was with Doug E. Fresh!!!!..=]..you are going to make it so far..at least i hope so =]...i hope to see you with a great career ahead of you!!!!=] =]
Blake, you are amazing a thousand times over and over. I will so buy your CD!!!!!I Love you!!! MARRY ME!!
U no what Burnss r u that really gay jordan did win unfortanettly u gay fag lol i luv blake and hes mine not urs anyone who luvs him so 2 bad HAHAHAHAHAHAHa and im not kiddin
Oh brother, give me a break..Blake’s fanclub is in here…And they bought Dougie Fresh out there so you young ones will know where it comes from….
I dont know why some people claimed that Blake didn’t have the voice. His voice maybe is not as incredible like phil stacey, but he can sing - what about the song he sang; SOMEWHERE ONLY WE KNOW, THIS LOVE, IMAGINE and TIME OF THE SEASON? i really feel bad when they claimed like that coz i think my ears are not depth yet!
Blake…....congratulations on getting as far as you did in this competition. It must have been so difficult to get up there onstage every week and do what you did. I am so proud of you. I really wish I had the chance to meet you, because I think that you seem like a really sweet, kind, and funny person. I would love to hear one of your impressions sometime. I look up to you, and you are my personal “Idol”. Thanks for changing my life with your music and style. I hope to meet you someday. Out of everyone in the world, I want to meet you. I love you. You’re hot.
Blake, Blake, Blake
You make my knees shake
You make my heart quake
And I just can’t stop the adrenaline snake
Everytime I see you up there singin’
My ears and my mind both start ringin’
You’re so cool, you’re so fly
I really just can’t help but gasp and sigh
I LOVE YOU!
Blake,
You make my heart ache
I can’t stop thinking about you
Your fly voice makes me a crazy foo’
We may never meet,
But your voice is so very sweet
I’ll find you one day,
And know the perfect thing to say

Blake…I saw you live at the American Idols Live Tour in Chicago and you make me crazy. I lost my voice screaming for you. You are amazing, and I look up to you so much. You are all I listen to on my iPod. Thank you so much for everything. You have changed me, even though we’ve never met. You are a genuine person, I can tell. I like your hair when it’s both blonde and black, by the way. You’re hot, and I love you. Thanks for everything. Good luck in life.
