does blake lewis have "it?" will his good looks, trendy style, and innovative musical stylings, he is one of the few to stand out in a rather bland season of idol. yes, ki ki jones and mindy doo have the pipes, and i'll admit that c. richardson does resemble mr. jt. but it's seattle's own blake that is the most original thing to ever grace simon's stage. after five years, it takes much more than just being able to sing really well, as seen last season. even if he doesn't walk away with the chance to hit the charts with an "inside your heaven" single (which may prove to be a blessing in disguise - ask chris daughtry), blake will have a successful career...either as a singer or a hollister model. t-t-t-time will tell.
