Did Blake Lewis save American Idol from utter boredom with beatbox rendition of Bon Jovi?

Top Favorites (Today) in All

News: It’s easy to tell these days when someone on American Idol has given a spectacular, show-stopping performance. Multiple clips of the performance end up on YouTube and it becomes a “Top Favorite” among users. Yesterday, Blake Lewis gave a mind-blowing, beatbox rendition of Bon Jovi’s “You Give Love a Bad Name” (video) and now Blake Lewis owns 6 of the Top 12 Favorited videos on YouTube (in the past 24 hours), all for that one performance, which has generated hundreds of thousands of views, thousands of comments, and 4 or 5 stars.

Analysis: A lot of people have been complaining how boring American Idol has become this year. This one performance by Blake Lewis may have just saved the season from absolute boredom. The creativity of this guy is completely off the charts. That was the most original performance on Idol, ever.

And my guess is that the Idol format has been limiting Blake from showing off his full repertoire of musical talents. It would be scary to see what this guy could really do.

    I really think that season 6 was the best season on American idol, and that was because of Blake showing us a new exiting world of beet boxing, he made every song so fresh,
    In my opinion season 7 was a bit dull on me and other people, because when Blake left American idol, there was a feeling that something was missing… we kept waiting for someone to blow our mindes out ,like what Blake has done.. Making season 6 an unforgettable season..
