@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.
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
@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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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).
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
when i first heard all mixed up, i thought, damn i haven't heard this sublime song yet! wait, what? oh, 311, must be a SHITTY RIPOFF OF SUBLIME!! IM OL GREGG
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'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.
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.
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
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.
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..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
funny how none of the judges knew this song, 311 got successful by telling critics to eat shit and they dont give a fuck, i wish 311 came and played it, he should have said "fuck the naysayers"... american idol sucks............the day we turn to pop the show will stop.
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.
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...

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

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.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
funny how none of the judges knew this song, 311 got successful by telling critics to eat shit and they dont give a fuck, i wish 311 came and played it, he should have said "fuck the naysayers"... american idol sucks............the day we turn to pop the show will stop.

reggaecracker 3 years ago

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......
reggaecracker 3 years ago
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.
zoabeh 3 years ago
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...
reggaecracker 3 years ago
that wasn't the bands fault.. blake rearranges the songs..

The band liked it, that's well documented so we shouldn't talk shit.
I'd say Blake rocked it pretty hard, personally.
