Blake Lewis' Dream Come True

December 05, 2007

American Idol alum Blake Lewis doesn’t like reality television. In fact, he admits that he doesn't watch a lot of television at all. The singer gladly makes one exception though. He is a huge fan of Bravo's Project Runway and watched all three past seasons. "It is probably the only show I've really watched in the last couple of years," he tells Arjan Writes in an interview for OutZone TV.

He even ran into last season's Project Runway winner Jeffrey Sabelia during the American Idol auditions in Hollywood. "Jeffrey walked outside by the Orpheum Theatre where I was waiting for one of the last auditions. I was like 'Yo dude, I wanted you to win! Congratulations!' He looked me up and down, and he gave me a rock sign. Very cool."

It has been a whirlwind year for the singer from Bothell, WA who made it all the way to the finals of the most recent season of American Idol. Jordin Sparks ended up taking home the big pize, but that didn't bother Lewis who emerged as the fun and funky singer with his signature beatboxing.

This week, he releases his much-anticipated debut album, titled "Audio Day Dream.” It is an accomplished '80s inspired pop album that the singer crafted together with a slew of hitmakers such as J.R. Rotum, Ryan Tedder (of OneRepublic), S*A*M & Sluggo and Brian Transeau.
