Blake Lewis! Sir Mix-A-Lot! JEAN GODDEN!!!

posted by on May 11 at 9:50 AM

Attention Seattleites: Q13 News reports that today at noon at Westlake Park, American Idol finalist Blake Lewis will give a “mini-concert.” (Is that a jab at his height?)

Also on the bill: Seattle royalty Sir Mix-A-Lot and Seattle City Councilwoman Jean Godden, who will officially proclaim today “Blake Lewis Day.”

If you’ve been longing to experience Blake’s hip-pop stylings (or just to ogle his award-worthy can) in person, here’s your chance. If you’ve always dreamed of seeing Jean Godden share a stage with Sir Mix-A-Lot, ditto. (I haven’t seen her from behind lately—does Godden “got back”?)

Does Q13 have a 13 year old girl on the payroll to update their "Blake Blog"? Did I just read a news site? Sir Mix-A-Lot and Jean Godden sharing the stage with a kareoke star?
I'm so confused.

You could easily photoshop Adrian's face in that picture. Guess where you'd put it.

He'd love it.

I'm still wondering if he'll beatbox the 'bombs bursting in air' when he sings the national anthem at the M's game tonight.

Hope so...

blake lewis note to self: remember to roll up sleeves to show off tattoo in order to up my steeze cred and combat late 90's highlights in hair.

NOTE: there were already about 15-20 teenage girls standing in Westlake Park waiting at 9:30am! LOL!!

Sorry, it's been a long time since we (the people updating the "Blake blog" page) were 13. A verrrrrrrrrrrrry long time. But you made our day.

Does anyone else think Blake is just trying to cover up his incredibly bad stuttering problem?

did you guys send someone down to report on this? when's it going to be up? from the text messages I've been getting, it sounds like quite the event.

I'll be pissed if I find out my tax dollars paid for those cops. It would be just like Murdoch Co to try and sneak around that regulation.

My Mom went. She took video footage, chatted up Sir Mix-a-lot. Got me an autograph from him. We have priorities. :)

Blake is pretty darn good. He is the only reason that I even care about AI this year. This is is mainly because he sang a song from Keane. I know it is shallow of me, but it completely surprised me that a n AI singer sang an alternative rock song. That has never happened before. I thought that the show had grown up, but as I have seen through subsequent episodes that that is not the case. Go Blake. Oh, yeah, nice "can" dude.
