One of my favorite Cd's to come from any american idol PERIOD. Its a must have idol collection item, and Blake Lewis shows off his amazing vocals and talent. I highly recommend to all those interested in electronic type sounding music.

I am from Sweden but saw American Idol and Blake was my favorite from the beginning.Toke long time before I had his CD ,they didn`t accept sending to my country,but fixed address in America,so now I can really enjoy his voice and all his songs.

Unique Artist and Fantastic Debut Album!, October 3, 2008

I was a big fan of Blake's style on American Idol and couldn't wait for his debut album to come out. It's everything I had thought it would be. Very unique and catchy, great sounds and some of the best lyrics I have ever heard.
I read recently that his record company dropped him. Are they insane? Maybe he didn't sell because he is unique. I guess the world would rather have Miley's and Jonas brothers. In other words, talentless people who couldn't hold a note to Blake. Literally.
I can't wait for your next album Blake!

I was not a close follower of American Idol...matter of fact a friend gave the CD to my son (10 yrs) because his kids loved him on idol.
Already a fan of TobyMac...I find some of the sound remeniscent of them..."She's making me lose it" is a fun danceable tune...There's a quirky mix of sounds in my opinion--and I LOVE that it is lyrically garbage-free...

More than bubble gum music, August 21, 2008

The music genre listed for Blake's CD is Teen Rock. I disagree. With everything that Blake does musically, he pushes the envelope blending jazz, rock, electronic, house and many other musical styles. Your average Teeny Bopper can't really appreciate the levels of sophistication that Blake delivers in his music.
His record label is making a serious mistake marketing him in the same bucket as that Hannah Montana flavor of the day.
The only weakness in his work is where he borrows a little to closely from the melody lines of a song called "Putting On The Ritz". I don't think that proper credit was given to the original composer. If he chose a more obscure song; it might not be as much as an issue. But "Putting On The Ritz" is a feature song in Mel Brooks' movie and Broadway musical "Young Frankenstein". For his first post American Idol CD this was a real faux pas. (trans. bad move).
