Blake Lewis was born on July 21, 1981 at Redmond, Washington, USA, and he hails from Bothell, Washington, USA. Best known as the beatboxing contestant on season six of American Idol, Blake Lewis hails from Bothell, WA. Lewis comes from a musical family — his mother used to be in a rock band and continues to sing and play guitar — and began singing himself at age five. He impressed Randy Jackson, Simon Cowell, and Paula Abdul at the Seattle auditions with his beatboxing and performance of Seal’s “Crazy,” and further wowed them at Hollywood week, where he performed with fellow contestants Rudy Cardenas and Chris Sligh. Performances of songs like Keane’s “Somewhere Only We Know” and Jamiroquai’s “Virtual Insanity” reflected his hip musical tastes; some of Lewis’ other favorite artists include Imogen Heap, 311, and Gnarls Barkley. A spectacular hodgepodge of styles as varied as synth-pop, alterna-funk and old school hip-hop, Audio Day Dream could only be the brainchild of a true visionary … or at least a funk soul brotha with a studio addiction. His distinctive style won him early fan support, including a voting bloc calling themselves “the Blaker Girls,” and Lewis ultimately emerged as the season’s runner-up. While completing the subsequent American Idol tour that summer, he spent most of his evenings focusing on his full-length studio debut, co-writing 12 of the album’s 13 tracks and collaborating with such producers as OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder. Audio Day Dream dropped in December 2007, buoyed by the leadoff single “Break Anotha”. He auditioned for “American Idol” at Seattle, Washington. During his audition, he sang to the beat of Seal’s “Crazy.” All the judges said yes, but Simon reminded him not to be too cocky. On March 8, 2007, Blake Lewis made the Top 12 on “American Idol.” He was eliminated from the competition on May 23, 2007. He garnered 2nd place or runner-up, losing only to winner, Jordin Sparks.
I head an opinion that Call Me Irresponsible is an Canadian answer to Frank Sinatra. I agree with this opinion:Call Me Irresponsible is the latest album of Michael Buble. The singer has already gained success in recent years with albums It’s Time and Caught in the Act and singles including one of 2005’s most played radio tracks Home.
The new album mixes old standards including That’s Life, The Best is Yet To Come and the title track, with new songs such as Lost - a melancholy tribute to a break-up - and the first single from the album, Everything. I can say that Call Me Irresponsible is the wonderful trip to the past. Among the standards made popular by Sinatra in the forties and fifties - among others of the era - is the Mel Torme song “Comin’ Home Baby” which Buble’ performs with the R&B group Boyz II Men, the Eric Clapton tune “Wonderful Tonight” with Brazilian Ivan Lins with Lins singing in his native Portuguese, and Buble’ puts his spin on the hit “Me and Mrs. Jones”.
While fellow artists trying to emulate the sounds of Ol’ Blue Eyes and his gang may stick to the tried and tested formulas of Rat Pack songs, Buble’s new album departs from the crooner age, choosing classic songs that are not from the expected genre, including Me and Mrs. Jones, Eric Clapton’s Wonderful Tonight and Always On My Mind - the love song made famous by Elvis Presley. A collaboration with the harmonic Boyz II Men on Coming Home Baby may seem like an odd pairing, but it works. However, the Boyz act as mere background to Buble’s warbling. And as if That’s Life wasn’t rousing enough already, the album includes the singer pairing with a gospel choir on the track creating a truly uplifting version. Since that time Buble’ had had two platinum selling records, is a Grammy nominee, a Juno Award winner, and sold over eleven million records. The Buble factor is in a definite way of not losing the real values of the great American songbook. This singer is here to stay. We’ll be always waiting for his new material.

Katie Muela was born in Georgia in the former USSR (vodka, Stalin, Shevardnadze, Katie Melua) in 1984, living in Moscow for a while when she was three or four. Not surprisingly she doesn’t remember a lot of Moscow back in the communist time, although one thing Katie remembers is that the place they were staying in did the most amazing pancakes she has ever tasted. Leaving Moscow and the pancakes Katie Muela spent most of my childhood in Georgia in the seaside town of Batumi. When she was nine, her dad got a job as a heart surgeon in Belfast, so Katie’s family moved there. Katie Muela said that she found the people in Northern Ireland extremely warm and made great friends at St. Catherine’s primary school and Dominican College, Fort William. She started writing songs a few years ago and has (with her parents’ help) a small studio set-up at home. Katie influences are Queen, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Eva Cassidy, Irish folk music and Indian music.The end of 2003 was a very exciting time for Katie. She was invited to perform at the Royal Variety, where she met the Queen who said ‘I have heard your record on the radio, it is very nice’.
In November 2003 Katie headlined her own gig at the Shepherds Bush Empire (”Melua stunned the audience into silence with warm pure jazz vocals” - The Times), it was here that her new fans really could see her natural talent for performing. Her debut album Call Off the Search was released in November and shipped over 1.2 million copies, reaching number 1 in the UK charts and obtaining quadruple platinum status. At the end of February 2004 Katie embarked on her debut live tour in which she will played 14 dates, she said “I love walking out on stage and connecting with my band and the audience, there’s nothing like it”. As well as playing large gigs Katie also enjoys the smaller acoustic venues, such as London’s 12 Bar and the Enterprise, as she appreciates the intimacy. At the other end of the scale, Katie and Jamie Cullum performed a superb version of the The Cure’s Love Cats at the Brit Awards 2004.
