I am a 38 year old lady and I love Blake Lewis. He brings a new sound to the scene. Not many people could make it work for them the way Blake does. Second place is not a bad spot to be in. Every season we see runner ups do just as well, if not better then the one holding the idol title. Go Blake. Keep up the wonderful job! Mom and dad seem to be so supportive of his every step in this process, and that will keep him strong.
