Blake Lewis - You Give Love A Bad Name(Bon Jovi)

[dct4eva]

Ahhhhhhhh I remember watching this live!!! :D

[jts024]

teddy is even badass standing up

[proassasssin]

just listen to the original song

[GCballer307]

this has always been one of my favorite american idol performances :)

[bananadinosaur4]

omg i used to love him this was the only season i ever watched american idol....wow memories lol

[Yazzyu]

He's so talented!

I remember I was IN LOVE with him.

I went to the Idol concert, and met all the contestants..... and I remember he was a JERK. He was so.. rude.. uggh.

[marinaaa9876]

beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee grozno pjeva..

[MonkeyCheeky228]

he was sosososo much better than jordin sparks!!!!!!!!!!! where did he go?!?!??!?!

[princessneko21]

Like if you come from his home state!!!! :D

[AugustineEmmeline]

THAT WAS AMAZING. I remember this on the show. I fell in love with it immediately. He is SO talented and such a sweetie too. <3

[Valentina440]

I don't personaly like it, but I'm not saying it's bad

[Funected]

wow. I was ten when I first saw him, how the hell do I still remember him ?

[AugustineEmmeline]

@Funected Because he's amazing.

[jdepp102]

How the heck did Jordin beat him?!?! He involves his crowd and gives them something to watch and listen to. In my opinion, the winner's voice was too laid back. Again, Blake should have won.

[Heirii500]

I cant believe this is Kasuka x D

[jessica5000000]

its as bad as brittney spears trying to sing i love rock and roll. its heavy metal and should stay that way but thats just my opinion and im a metal head banger. I grew up in the 80s.

[Bboychill210]

@jessica5000000 This is by absolutely no means heavy metal. my 48 year old mom and her friends love bon jovi. if you want heavy metal listen to of mice and men or slipknot or kalmah

[jessica5000000]

@Bboychill210 I meant the original version of this was heavy metal

[Bboychill210]

@jessica5000000 so did i.

[HeadingToBroadway]

The only thing that carried him through is women not having decent looking boyfriends at home to gawk over and the fact that he's an okay beat boxer. Vocally, he was no where near the other competitors.

[cycmpdf]

He should have won. :( But, what's come is gone...

[coleman9121]

My best friend's step dad is Jon Bon Jovi's cousin. ;)

[54321izzy67890]

OMG! I had the SUCH a crush on him! I wonder where he is now...<3

[c2av3n]

@54321izzy67890 did you steal that from the top comment?

[popups46okay]

He was half second late at the beginning. You can't really tell, but for people with good ears it's really obvious.

[bamafan73191]

@popups46okay haha that bugs me every time

[DarthSkater6]

3 million views. nice

[mjgotgame9]

Thumbs up if you're going through these videos for what seems like the hundreth time.

[gjvb]

AWESOME. I DONT KNOW WHAT THESE HATERS ARE SAYING

[drew42322]

So how many people still wanted to text that number and vote for him. lol

[mrprince92]

this is soooooo bad......

poor Bon Jovi!

[venom2802]

@mrprince92 Well Bon Jovi mentored him for that week and approved of it. So its not poor at all.

[spongy008]

wow! Im from germany and I dont watch the american idol show but I hope he was the winner of this competition :)

[Meg0246]

@spongy008 Oh hi~! He sadly did not win, Jordan Sparks did and well he kind of disappeared afterward....

[Fa11enAngell]

@Meg0246 i really thought he and doolittle had more talent than jordan, jordan was just cute and sweet and pretty, she had a great voice, i just dont think she had a voice AS great as blake and doolittle.

[Meg0246]

@Fa11enAngell Me too! I was so upset when he was voted off! It was as surprising as when Daughtry was voted off...

[Fa11enAngell]

@Meg0246 so retarded,pretty should never win over talent..no offense jordan

[takayuu51]

nice drum yhe!

[taybaybay1229]

I was in love with him<3

He's soo amazing(:

[ironmantr2002]

Great....

[Engineer245]

A great redition of a great song and I would still buy this version and that is "ALL" that counts ! ! !

[SuperMarioBrothers09]

wtf

[Wielderofthegods]

Why are my videos being recommended from this? lol

[ZukuWake]

Blake Lewis

[ZukuWake]

Ok believe it or not, this dude is my good friends uncle! =0

[jadedmama1]

Still one of my all time favorite AI performances!

[embabiix]

oh myyy god i was obsessed with him <3

[TheRazorleafs]

i started beatboxin' cuz of blake lewis

[grumpyotter]

I love this version because he showed he not could only beatbox like a mutha--but he has a great voice, too!

[BubblezYo]

Gahh! I had such a crush on him<3 I wonder where the hell he went

[pictureperfect971]

@BubblezYo I know!!!

[Bboychill210]

@BubblezYo did a video with mgm

[jessica5000000]

@Bboychill210 I dont like them because I can hardly understand their lyrics. they screech their lyrics trying to sound all hard but they just sound dumb. But they aren't heavy metal. Kalmah and slipknock are in another category called speed metal like Metallica. I like them tho. I'm not much younger than your mom and I listened to Bon jovi when I was probably around your age.

[Bboychill210]

@jessica5000000 I never said you had to like them. I said that theyre metal and bon jovi isnt. and you dont know how old i am

[jessica5000000]

@Bboychill210 from your posts about your mothers age and from your site videos that I assum are you, I would guess you are between 12 to 15 at the most. I dont know what makes you think Bon Jovi's You Give Love a Bad Name is not heavy metal. But what ever. you are free to your opinion and like what ever music you want. By the way your videos make me laugh, I like them bboychill210 I will look for more of them from you. youre cool

[Bboychill210]

@jessica5000000 im 13. and it isnt metal. id say its rock/hard rock. but not metal. and thanks

[CamJvideo]

@Bboychill210 classic rock

[drewricomakeubu1]

@Bboychill210 its hair metal...

[AugustineEmmeline]

@BubblezYo He's still around. :) I just bought his new cd! :)

[mariahhjacksonn]

i mean come on who cant agree that this guy has one of the best voices in idol history

[mariahhjacksonn]

How did he lose its not possible...

[MrWebicam]

shit

[nathanhortonsexy18]

how the hell did he lose American Idol?????????

[LausbuaSchorsch]

Bro Code!!!

[JMason814]

ahh, 240p, we meet again. I thought I killed you last time.

[L2Panos4ever]

What the fck is this crap? Its a shame for all of us (Bon Jovi Fans) Who gave him the permision to sing a legendary song like this? I hope Jon won't see this!

[1PedroAmor]

@L2Panos4ever Maybe you should read the comment about 6 down from yours, besides Jovi was 80s

[ladygagarox03]

@ImmaHacka well.... i'm not quite sure.. the magical notification fairy doesn't tell me these things :)

[DieCaroline3]

Barney :D

[ladygagarox03]

@Jaqrbe i had NO IDEA anyone even liked my comment... :) haha thank you!

[ImmaHacka]

@ladygagarox03 holy sweet jeesus.......you got over five hundred likes....how could you not know?

[kaidranzerali13]

So just a reminder to all you haters, Jon Bon Jovi was the one who helped him out with this version(He was the mentor that week). Quoting Jon Bon Jovi: "You have big balls. I love it." So if the guy who recorded the original liked the spin on the song, who the fuck are you to say it sucks?

[Shift4chizzle]

@kaidranzerali13 Humans with opinions. opinions still count no matter who they are. different opinions are formed from different people. just because a professional says its good, doesnt mean its a fact. who are you to say to those people to stfu?

[iLaffinGuerilla]

@kaidranzerali13 But remember, in the interview, Bon Jovi sounded like he didn't want to Blake Lewis to do it. He kept saying negative things that might make Lewis regret it. Just saying.

[randomanchovies]

@kaidranzerali13 Geee I dunno maybe people have different opinions??

[slashes22]

@kaidranzerali13 Ok I respect your opinion, but now you will hear mine. Having balls doesn't mean you are doing it right, usually it means you are doing something "stupid"(in a manner of saying) that no one else would do because it probably will fail. I think it sucks because I think the spin took out the essence of the original version. And I didn't quite like the vocals itself, no offense, but it is kinda girly. And female vocals(unless from an amazing singer) doesn't sound right in this song.

[slashes22]

@kaidranzerali13 Just as Atreyu version "sucked" from all that screamo in it. You can barely hear the instrumental or the lyrics. So, I guess this is it. Feel free to reply.

[AugustineEmmeline]

@kaidranzerali13 LOL you are so right.

[Ericboy0981]

Dude the opening was cool but he sings like a Fag

[whazam74]

i can do it better, in 2 years ill do it on there, and do it better

[TheOfficialCategory5]

Hey everyone, I'm a huge Blake Lewis fan so I made a remix of Heartbreak on Vinyl. You should check it out!

[Sliacen]

I understand why many of you are angry because he "butchered" a classic Bon Jovi song with his take on it.

Regardless, do not base his cover on how well it sticks to the original. If one simply did copycat performances, then they wouldn't be any different from any other singer, and this wouldn't be a memorable performance.

[entertainer1987]

I know people are going to hate me for saying this, but I'd rather listen to Sarah Palin or Rick Perry give a speech than listen to this guy beatbox.

[AlexTheFireMaster]

Does anybody knows what Blake Lewis is doing these days? Gosh, he should be a lot more famous by now but it's like barely anyone remembers him. Screw you Hollywood u don't know talent. I was still in shock that Jordan Sparks won because Blake Lewis was wayyyyyyy better then Jordan I mean seriously there's a lot of dumb people in America and stupid people of course vote 4 Jordan.

[MRyoungRUNNA]

@AlexTheFireMaster i think so he made a cd idk how many i only know about one and i have it i got it wen it first came out tho but i completely agree

[strangekidwithhair]

bloody AWESOME!



[KyleMasonHall]

Teddy Campbell is one of my favorite drummers, and this performance would not be the same without him. Sick solo.

[JanUllrich02]

A respect's foult to Bon Jovi...

[jojofan671]

It's hard to believe this is the same guy who played Kasuka in Durarara! XD Then again he is awesome.

[alwayscommenting56]

In this performance, he shows that he's not just a singer, but a performer. This is why he's my favorite contestant, ever :)

[ricktofer]

dig his dropped beats an lyrics...

[BlakeJGreene]

Finest moment of the season :D

[2012vanillawafer]

okay bon jovi is my fav classic rock artist and usually the covers suck but this is awesome!

[FULdiegox]

perfecto!!! muy bueno!!!

[Successfulliey]

HA simon you dont think hes as good he think he is MY BUTT!

[IceSnake201]

Barney`s Mix ^^

[qB4Lz]

hey can anybody breaking down the drum solo fill please?

[TheVladsenior]

thats bullsheet poor bon jovi

[NovaBiscuit]

@TheVladsenior common man, read the comments or watch the show... bon jovi helped him make this rendition. and even told him he liked it better than his own.

[Omgizzle18]

Blake still should have won! (: Not Jordan!

[rodrigokcrs619]

Im sorry for Bon jovi... I mean... Seriously? Jon Bon Jovi is a rock singer, actually a Hard Rock singer... this version is ("disrespectful")

[rodrigokcrs619]

Im sorry for Bon jovi

[grapevinelane]

I voted for Blake Lewis to win American Idol was 2007 or 2008, well I wish he would've won. I come back to listen to the songs he did because he did them so well. If he would've stuck with these types of songs and done remakes he'd probably be pretty big right now but he didn't. So I search him every once in a while to check out his new songs to see if there's any hit material he's recently done.

[charismatic9904]

So he should have won b/c he has sick beat boxing skillz? UM NO. to many horny pre-pubescent moronic kids commenting on youtube.

[jkellybrew]

Thumbs down.

[jwilliams0408]

I'm not gonna be negative, BUT no. That's all I can say.



[lilsassystar7988]

i dont think he butchered the song, but definetly not what it should sound like

[punk847321]

i'm sorry to inform youbut the way that he sings the song is horrible.

[muhahahaha135]

And this guy playeed Kasuka in Durarara...wow... :O

[K2isAWESOME]

Blake could have done so much more What has jordan done to now august 7 2011 shes been on dora -_-

[LUCHIA250]

pero este es tonto

[hamilton1401]

his face's sooooooo hot... everytime i see him iget so horny...i'd love kissing his lips all day....BL u really turn me on!!!! LUV YA

[heyitsjeff777]

you killed the song go die

[BeatBoxMASTER14]

wait what the hell happened to him than ? did he like just disappear or like what cuz i really want to kno to the runner up on american idol... he is the reason i started beatboxing

[BailoAnoche]

@BeatBoxMASTER14 He does a lot of local shows with a bunch of the hip hop scene back here in Seattle.

[PottylurvesLooney]

@BeatBoxMASTER14 I know he recently voice-acted in an anime, but singing-wise, I haven't heard much...

[Phantomeon]

While Jordin was clearly the better singer, Blake was so obviously the better entertainer, and I'm a little surprised that didn't win him the show only because people usually go for that kind of stuff.

[isedagd]

shuld have effing won\: urggg

[vuhahbcvn]

damn this got me horny listening to i, sexy voice

[SirrGreggs]

/watch?v=aHiCUF-yvfc

[janyary123bc]

best performance in idol history!!!!!! Blake Lewis is my american idol no matter what (=

[hockeygirllovesjesus]

I <3 Blake Lewis! he totally should have won!

[HopelessDaydreamer55]

my absolute favorite idol performance to date. this was just crazy good!

[atreiu97]

fuck you .....gay ....shit ...i hate you

!!!

[cadetbadgley]

fuck jordin sparks. dumb fat bitch shouldnt have won. blake had it

[jason1977810]

love this song and blake :)

[zulnaim09]

this guy should win

[SouthSideKrumperz]

@29Ebay I kno riite

[vickilg123]

haha love the original version so much, but this one is awesome too!

[IsideSoul]

i love the original song...i don't like this version at all:S

[ashleyburg14]

@xmyakaxxm WTF?! That's why Bon Jovi liked it, right? mhm. Quit hating. (:

[NovaBiscuit]

@xmyakaxxm what people like you and all the other haters need to realize is bon jovi HELPED him do this. and loved it. and even said he likes Blakes version more than his own.

[xmyakaxxm]

@NovaBiscuit and its funny for you to call us as haters... since you are kinda pissed of with my comment, you are type of haters too... you hate my comment...pls dont use the word 'haters' its a stereotype. and what i wanna say is original version is better, blake's version definitely spoiled my mood when i looking for oldies and i found this!!

[kingjbthebizzle]

I guess he didn't get the memo NSYNC broke up in 02 hahaha I can't believe people like this shit it sounds like crap obviously the people on here have never heard the original

[nascimento503]

im gay

[bboyatomic99]

thumbs up if your listening to this in 2390 :D

[BolesRacing]

funny youtube fights HAHA

[ladygagarox03]

thumbs up if youre listening to this in 2011 :D

[Aly99ify]

@ladygagarox03 lol I knw right

[xXtheoneinpurpleXx]

@ladygagarox03 noooooooooooo



[Jagrbe]

@ladygagarox03 i thumbs up because you had 499 and i felt bad so.. yourwelcome :)

[axiocloud2]

hes someone else this kid

[macdrizzae]

Holy crap how did this dude not win??

[gothless]

This doesn't capture the pent up frustration the song speaks about... Everytime i hear this song it makes me wanna shout. The guy in the song is shouting out his emotions to the bitch.. There is no anger,no emotion, no power.. If anything at all, this version oozes more cheesiness than the 80's...,,

[Kailuachicka34]

I like the beatboxing but at one point he starts to snort like a pig which I did not enjoy!!!

[johngoat13]

he should have won American idol that year

[bucamarie]

I can't stand that DAMM beatboxing! That is not what American Idol is for, or it would be called Beatboxing Idol! Just sayin'!~
