Blake Lewis - Heartbreak on Vinyl Video
Blake Lewis's "Heartbreak on Vinyl" is a Heartbreak in Record Sales Too
Well, this was obvious. Blake Lewis's comeback CD, Heartbreak on Vinyl, debuted at #135 on the Billboard Hot 100, selling a sad 4000 copies its first week out. Does that even begin to recoup recording costs? His last album, Audio Day Dream, sold over 24 times that amount in its opening week. Wow, that's pretty sad. (Via Rickey.org)

Blake Lewis Video for "Sad Song"
We're not quite getting how Blake's new song is a departure from the exact same things he did on his last album. And a word of advice to Blake: No one wants to see you in your underwear. On a positive note, Casey Carlson looks really good in the video.
Blake Lewis Didn't Pay His Taxes
There's no tax exemption for being a douche and locking your fellow Idol contestants in closets. Too bad, because Blake Lewis, best known as the least successful season 6 American Idol contestant, had a tax lien filed against him by the IRS. Turns out Blake owes $124,798 to the federal government from the year 2007, which was when he was on Idol. Blake's spokeswoman said that everything has been taken care of, but no lien release has been filed. Maybe Pocket Tool will have to sell his million dollar house that he bought when he thought people would actually buy his music.
In related news, why has it been so fucking easy to find pictures of douchebags sticking their tongues out this week? This makes number 3, after Chris Daughtry and Danny Gokey.
In even more related news, it turns out the Blake Lewis Army (who run his street team... yes, sad) is just as douchey as he is. Figures.
Blake Lewis Sings "Sad Song" on Good Day New York
That's just terrible. Every time he hits high notes it's even worse. Wow. (Video from MJ's Big Blog).
Blake Lewis - Sad Song Preview
A preview of Blake Lewis's new song "Sad Song" leaked. And it sounds exactly like his last album that he apparently wants to depart from. The song is boring, cliche, and unlikely to become popular. Even he can do better.

In an incredibly smart move, Blake Lewis appears in 0% of the video. Apparently he realized making people look at him would sell no records. The tune is decent, but it's probably the worst lyrics he's ever written. (Via MJ's Big Blog)
