He was doing some of it live, accupello, on his audition. Are you sure he wasn't doing it himself?

Ha!  I'd sure like to know what pedal(s) he's using to get those cool glitchy stutter-sounds in the second video...  Any ideas?

yeah, Blake is one of my AI favorties. He sang a Jamiriqui tune earlier in the week (Virtual Reality), which I missed because I was traveling. Damn! I love that group.

 

I tell you one thing, he can scat like a mother f*cker, and any vocalist who can do that, loop, and not sound like some cheesy, stiff white guy trying to sound like a black vocliast has my vote. :)   Leslie Hunt's performance and scatting at the end of her tune made me cringe. Yucky, icky, stuff.

 

Though I still think the girls are kicking the guys asses on American Idol. Melinda's version of My Funny Valentine gave me the chills. That girl can really belt it out. 

 

Uh oh...did I just reveal that I'm a major AI fan?
