Title: Blake's American Idol Butcher... Post by: Thorned Rose on May 02, 2007, 07:41:50 AM Did anyone else see that last night? OMG
I know D must of been croaking. He so screwed "You Give Love A Bad Name" up. Jon was very skeptical of it to begin with. I know Blake puts his own spin on stuff, and it's ok with me, but the "Lo- Love, L-ove" rapping style, and the beat box in the middle was a joke. Blake is talented, but he needs to keep away from that stuff, dance and maybe put your own twist on the song, but don't beat box in the middle of a classic. I liked him before this, now I don't like him at all. What a joke. Title: Re: Blake's American Idol Butcher...

Also it is American Idol, not a Rock competition... the only thing a Male winner of that show is going to be good for is a b-level Justin Timberlake ripoff.
I wouldn't let it bother you that he did that... Also You Give Love a Bad Name isn't exactly Stairway to Heaven, I think you may have been a little loosey goosey with the term "Classic."

he took a genre that is not his comfort zone and rearranged it himself to fit his style....he talented i hope he wins :beer: Title: Re: Blake's American Idol Butcher... Post by: Communist China on May 02, 2007, 03:56:34 PM Yeah, I didn't like it. The idea of having these genres is to see who can diversify, not to change classics into whatever the contestants are able to sing.

So are "Ice Ice Baby" and "The Humpty Dance" classics? Title: Re: Blake's American Idol Butcher... Post by: faldor on May 02, 2007, 10:53:02 PM I hate that show. I so wanted Sanjaya to win to ruin it.
