  • 311 is DOPE. what a bro.

  • I wanted to shoot myself when he lost (sarcasm -- but I was really mad).

  • Total shit. Embarassing to 311, this guy is shit, the judges NEED to be shot, total garbage all around.

  • @MrMcBugg dude who cares, chill the fuck out. He's a 311 fan on american idol. Reppin 311 doesn't deserve your HATE. You're words here have embarrassed 311.

  • @mojonation1487 **Your. Nice spelling. 311 doesn't deserve YOUR spelling, YOUR spelling here has embarrassed 311.

  • Dude, Blake knows how to put twists on songs that NO ONE else could pull off... He needs to do something again!!

  • You can say everything about this guy but he has taste of music

  • How the f*** do they not know who 311 is???

  • Too bad that sucked.. lol, ruined a good song

  • lol the song is current....right it was like a decade old when this show was aired. And ryan seacrest is amazed that 311 is his fav band of all time! lol

  • lol the song is current....right it was like a decade old when this show was aired.

  • @Axel15810 311's music doesn't age.

  • Best concert band on the planet

  • 311 favorite band of all time.. its about time American idol finally had someone cultured on the show

  • why the hell is he singin a rock song in a pop contest theres no range in this song

  • @chiefmojorising1 God, there always has to be a group of idiots on every song that think a cover is ONLY good if the singer tries to sing it exactly like the original. The irony is that the WORST covers happen when a singer tries to emulate the original artist to a tee. It just sounds contrived and lame.

  • @chiefmojorising1 how is this a rock song? and since when is AI a "pop contest"?

  • @11polkadot1 It's ALWAYS been a pop contest. Where have you been?

  • I'm appalled that none of them knew who 311 was. Did anyone else catch the 311 hand signal at the end there? This is one of the most monumental moments on American Idol.

  • waitttttttttt, they didn't know what the song wasss. What the fuckkkk. Fuck american idol. And Simon, ya fucking idiot, if you can't understand what he is saying then go to the doctors.

  • decent

  • that just shows you right there how much the so called music judges know about music itself they had  NO CLUE that song was by 311 nor did they have A CLUE who 311 is

  • blake is hot.

  • this was AMAZING fuck the judges they didn't know who 311 was

  • this was put out in 07 and all mixed up, then was I don't know 10+ years earlier

  • Straight up sang a 311 song on American Idol, he should have won automatically. No questions asked, just stopped the season right then, printed up his contract and signed him. That dude is the epitome of what it is to be 311est. As for those judges who don't know who 311 is, they obviously should not qualify to be judges.

  • 311 FTW! Sweet plug.

  • Fuckin judges! they're supposed to judge good music, and they dont even know good bands. Fags, GO BLAKE LEWIS, haha

  • He is so awesome, sexy, and wonderful!

  • They didnt know 311? Those Judges are fucking tools. Fuck all of them.

  • They're all fucking retarded, seriously, 311 is one of the best bands of all time, better than anything else out there. Once again, more reason why American Idol is ruining music, because it deprives people of the good shit!

  • @devgru14 Not the best of all time, but definitely one of the best around right now.

  • what a freakin stud! well done blake representin and singin and groovin and doing it RIGHT! to the best band in all times!

  • His Best Performence on Idol! That Shirt looks Really Sexy on Him

  • Seriously, How do they not know 311!?! WTF!?

  • jesus christ, they didn't know who 311 was?

    Ah well.

  • fuckin no one knows 311!!! lol i can hear him saying the artist to them but no one can hear them over the crowd.

  • AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

  • 311 fuckin pwns... love em

  • of course they didnt know 311....theyre not wat everyone calls "mainstream"

    311 is my fav, theyre so fuckin underrated

  • The judges didn't know 311!?!

  • He has good song choises! I love 311 and Jamiroquai!

  • stupid judges

  • keeping it current?

    lol 1995 dumb asses

  • 311 is really good but arent THAT popular, but the judges should find some more less popular songs cuz they could be really good...well anyway he did good on this one love the beat boxing!

  • @KelseyL97 311 isn't THAT popular? You gotta be shittin' me right? Just because they're not all over the crappy radio and retarded MTV says nothing about their popularity. They have been around for 20 years and still sell out every concert they put on. Every other year on March 11th they do their 311 day concert in front of tens of thousands of fans. Go to ebay and you'll see that $50 tickets to 311 day 2010 are selling for around $1000, Your intelligence fails epically.

  • @KelseyL97 then you should get on your knees and thank god you were watching crappy american idol that night, because now you're aware of the greatest band around that plays (and more importantly writes) great music. You're welcome

  • Blake Lewis was good, but more influenced by S.A. Martinez if I had One guess

  • Wow these "expert judges" don't know 311. I've lost all respect for them.

  • this kind of of sucks. He kind of killed an awesome song with his pitchieness

  • can anyone tell me what judges said??@@

  • I didn't know that Blake Lewis covered a 311 song. I was all right.

  • i LOVE this song and it fits blake perfectly

  • and how the heck do the judges not know 311?!! the music world doesn't consist only of pop!

  • exactly.the judges are fags ryan secrest even knew them so i guess hes straight.311 is plenty popular,uplifter debut at 2 on the top200 billboard charts,they just arent mainstream music which is perfectly fine with me

  • ok, so i am a "fag" and I know who 311 is. I didnt know your sexuality meant you knew music! I listen to much more then george michale and boy george! so why dont u take your ignorance and go to hell.

  • i know, right? crazy judges...

  • ew. he bugs me way bad. 311 rocks!

  • what a tool.

  • y u say that?? hes comin full range

  • he's a tool man. don't get me whong, but it's people like him that made me start not liking the band.

  • not liking 311? its not 311s fault he does what he does.. i think he has a good voice but ill agree the cover didnt sound anything like 311.. but he has a good voice for his own shit

  • 311 doesnt get the attention they deserve!!!!!!

  • Great version of the song! I remember being surprised that the judges hadn't heard of the song.

  • Was This Song In A Movie??

  • i said the same thing I cant think of what movie though.

  • It's from a walk to remember if you have seen it.

  • @DAliice yes, it was some movie with Mandy Moore in it i believe

  • @missykim9 and yes mandy moore was in that mooooovie =) lol

  • I cant believe that these idiots (the judges) are supposed to be such music moguls but they dont know all mixed up? I mean come on. Its not a very obscure song......IT STILL GETS RADIO PLAY!!! These people are retards.

  • Gotta love blake lewis. This is one of my favorite performances from him.

  • Though he gave an admirable effort and has acknowledged loving 311 you are right. Nick and SA so totally make this song what it is. This is an average cover at best and those that think it is a great cover simply never were fans of the original anyway. Granted Lewis has never had a great voice and Hexum has a very distinct voice which makes a 311 song nearly impossible to cover very well.

  • u worded it in a much better way than the "SwedishBass" fag did in his rude comment. and ur rite

    this song has such a uniqueness to it,that its actually impossible to do a AMAZING cover on it

    but he he was on key, his voice actually fit the song better than most people.

    but i like his acapella version better.

    wen he was on fox q13, he did a looped beatbox and acoustic guitar version and that sounded much more like the song should be like

    but this is still a great cover,and nick even said so

  • What isn't SMOKIN' HOT about this video?? I have the answer!!! NOTHING!! Blake really stands out! I just love him!! He rocks! I live for Blake!

  • This is one of the best perfomances that American Idol has ever had. Chris Daughtry*'s rendition of Wanted Dead or Alive was amazing as well.

  • this is why i hate this show, he did a good cover i just hate the audience and above all the judges

  • amazing i love himmm

  • not know 311? i might have to kill some bitches.

  • do you honestly think ppl who listen to El Divo to know who 311 is although they are just one of the sicest bands around lol.

  • nice spelling, ha ha ha

  • my mind boggles at the fact that none of the judges know who 311 is...

  • i'd rather have us 311 fans not be defamed by such idiots

  • @hcblawl why? The judges are retarded

  • @hcblawl Why? All 3 of them are retarded

  • jimmy walker blue is funny and blake does an awsome job on the song  GO BLAKE!

  • I love Blake! I"m gonna go see what he is up to lately. I expected to hear him on the radio by now. He is freaking awesome!!!

  • I like his self-censoring at 1m20s. LOL

  • i think he did a really good job...

    311 RULES

  • LOL, Paula Abdul had what, maybe one hit in the 80's/ early 90's?

    I don't even remember what she sang!

    Randy, Paula, Simon = FAILS AT LIFE!!!

  • Opposites attract is one i know

  • Paula Abdul's #1 (U.S.) hits = Straight Up, Forever Your Girl, Cold Hearted Snake, Opposites Attract, Rush Rush, The Promise of a New Day. It's Just the Way That You Love Me hit #3 with 7 others in the top 100 all from 1988 through 2008.

  • how the fuck do you not know who 311 is??????

  • Seriously how the hell do these three judges NOT know who 311 is? I'm not even close to being in the music industry and I've been bombarded with 311's music since I was 11 years old (I'm 25 now).

  • I don't expect simon to know 311, but the others geez.

  • i love how the judges didn't know 311. it makes me proud of them, being an underground band.

  • i lovedd blake!! he was sooo awesome!!

  • hes so cute :D

  • That's right. 311 for the win. :)

  • Ha Ha Ha He sang this song on american idol on the day which was my birthday last year!

  • Pshhhh I KNOW THE SONGGGGG we use it for lyrical this is schnazay

  • Im not surprised that those corporate tools dont know good music, when they think they know it all!

  • An "A" for effort.

  • blake come here 311 a very good band ! viva venezuela !

  • im with you youlikebosch

  • Blake is adorable! :D

  • he did ... just like he did with Jamiroquai ... the only good thing that he has done is ... CHOSING them =)

  • 2:03-2:04 311 for life baby!! BIG UP 3-11-10!

  • i really dont get how the judges didn recognize the song, 311 doesnt get the credit it deserves!

  • 311 OWNS! how the hell do the judges not know who that is?

  • agreed. 311 is one of my favorite bands. pure madness that the judges dont know them.

  • DIS SONG IZ DA SHTY!

  • lol your grammar is shitty

  • no his/hers grammar was fine the spelling was bad learn english before flaming

  • if its bad spelling then this person is a 5 year old because i've seen better spelling from a 3 year old

  • Damn, I love 311 and Blake did this song prefect..Well done!!!

  • How the fuck do the judges not recognize the song!? 311 is so bad ass

  • mad props to 311..

  • 311 Baby! Didn't know anyone on Idol had ever covered 311. Great choice, superior to most of the crap people sing on that show.

    But he shouldn't have added the scratch sounds or whatever the hahahahhahaha that was. hahahhah. So bad.

  • Are you retarded or just really fucking stupid? Sublime is ok, but 311 owns. Clown.

  • seriously? you're an idiot. doesn't even sound like Sublime. i love em both, and there's no mistaking the difference.

  • all mixed up, i don't know what to do =D

  • But you know what I hate about white people is that they clap off key and off tune and I just hate it when they clap.

  • hah, neither jackson or abdul ever heard of All Mixed Up, 311's biggest hit? that's kind of laughable...

  • haha...this was sweet...that's coming from a proud 311 fan, watch at about 2:03, he throws up a 3-11 sign with his hand. I thought I was the only one who did that

  • fuck all you haters, he was original, fav band was 311, what else do you want.....oh hes no hexum, well nobody is, and he wasnt tryin to be, he was himself, 311 was mentioned to 32,000,000? viewers, who gives a fuck

  • I see someone sucked Jimmy Walker Blues cock!

  • nah, im just a true 311 fan, and im down with anyone else who is...obviously your not...peace, love, unity.....fuck off

  • Sorry dude I was just pissed that day and I had to vent it out on something and I HATE American Idol so sorry dude.

  • i agree, just thought it was cool that somebody sang some good shit on the show, peace

  • I guess but still I am not a big fan of American Idol but now that I listen he sorta sounds like Nick Hexum.

  • I've gotta say, yeah-- he's no Nick Hexum, but at least he's a 311 fan who used his American Idol opportunity to give props to our boys.....he even flashes the 3-11 hand signs at the end...mad props, Blake. Unity.

  • NICK HEXUM IS WAY BETTER THAN THIS WASHED UP ASS STAIN!!!

    311 FOR LIFE!!! \m/ \m/ \m/

  • eh he fucked it up a little bit not too bad...

    why cant he just say "ass"

    but he gets props for 311 being his favorite band...and the judges get thumbs down for not knowing who they are...tho that's not surprising...

  • Jimmy Walker Blue?....... What an ass-monkey.

  • luuv this song!

  • that was; inspiring. (;

  • how the hell does the judges not know who 311 is!!!!!

  • very talented, he should have won easy.

  • I just checked out the virtual insanity cover again, still horrible. This just proves that american idol is an atrocity to music. The guy isn't even on key for this entire song. No joke, I've heard better at karaoke bars.

  • AbS0lutLy GeAT

  • I h8 jordin sparks and david enchilada (yo my friends and i h8 him and we call him david enchilada lol!) blake lewis totally should have won. If jordin tried 2 beatbox she would make Paula go deaf! lol

  • finally, some1 who calls david archuelta david enchilada

  • this guy is truly an idol

    UNIQUE

    ALLOT OF FUN

    CONFIDENT

    AWESOME .... AWESOME

  • he said puck lol

  • he's way easier to understand in this than the original.

  • i actually love his performance...

    <3

  • Gotta love Blakey!

    ~ PROUD ARCHANGEL AND BLAKERGIRL ~

  • The judges are a joke! How could they not know "All Mixed Up" and call themselves industry experts?

  • omg blake lewis shoudve won he is better then jordin sparks

  • I liked Blake but what was up with the "jimmy walker Blue" or whatever. It seemed kinda stupid. I guess he's just having fun but i thought it seemed kinda geeky when he normally seems cool.

  • wow, when you think of archelata and then you see a REAL talent like blake...

  • hasn't anyone notice, all songs on american idol are about 1 and half min, they don't even do full songs, what a joke...and don't give me t.v. time restraints thats bullshit....this whole show is bullshit... just a way to make money for executives...all bullshit..

  • No duh they're only 1:30 min. The contestants aren't allowed to do more. THAT'S THE RULE..THE SONG CAN ONLY BE 1:30 MIN LONG.

  • he should have won American Idol!!!!!!!!!!!

  • dude the band sucked so bad at playing this track...poor dude couldn't even do it right, this band sucked.........

  • totally disagree. im not a fan of american idol and im a huge 311 fan. but this is a really really good band. ill give the show that much. those guys can definitely play.

  • dude they made the song reggae and the syncopation was way off, wher was the distortion? and attitude? wasn't good hip hop beat at all......

  • not using enough distortion isnt a reason for me to declare a cover 'sucky.' i just listened to the original track again to see what you were talking about, and they didnt change any of the syncopation. i think the drummer and the bassist cut a sick groove and did justice to the original.

  • the reggae breakdown in the middle was o.k., and blake did good job, but if you cant hear the difference in syncopation than i dont know what else to tell you. the change is way off, and also they play about min half of the song???, hip hop drums are very hard to do, this isn't right...its cool groove i guess, but not even close to original..and how can you enjoy such a short clip...

  • that wasn't the bands fault.. blake rearranges the songs..

  • nope....

  • Whatever the case, I'll stick with 311 singing this song

  • he did them justice now shut yo trap and your nignorance

  • nignorance? learn to type buddy and keep watching american idol.

  • way to butcher this song asshole.

  • The band liked it, that's well documented so we shouldn't talk shit.

    I'd say Blake rocked it pretty hard, personally.
