1. A commercial for the album calling "Break Anotha" a SMASH single.
2. The "Break Anotha" music video using the same footage from the commercial just with a different background.
3. The fact that there isn't really much to comment on about his music career aside from the funny stuff.
Fantastic. The more Blake flops the more joy in my life.
ooh Alex, I thought nobody else knew about that Alanis Morissette song. I saw the video a couple months ago on youtube. I hope her new cd makes the world fall in love with her again!

'American Idol' runner-up Blake Lewis terms audition episodes kryptonite
By Christopher Rocchio, 01/15/2008
Similar to Simon Cowell, Blake Lewis apparently feels that American Idol's audition episode broadcasts could be considered torture.
The Idol sixth-season runner-up said during an interview on Tuesday morning's broadcast of ABC's The View that he probably won't be watching the Fox mega-hit's seventh season when it kicks off tonight with Philadelphia auditions.
"I think I'll watch the Top 24 and then maybe the Top 12," said Lewis. "I really can't watch or listen to people sing off-key. That's really like kryptonite to me."
Lewis' debut album "Audio Day Dream" dropped in December at No. 10 on The Billboard 200 album sales chart after selling 98,000 copies during its initial week of release. The album fell from No. 76 to No. 98 after selling 9,000 for the sales week ending January 8 and has moved only 240,000 copies since its release.
"I'm going to work this record, hopefully I'll get another one," said Lewis during his The View appearance.
Lewis' predecessor -- fifth-season runner-up Katharine McPhee -- as well as fifth-season champ Taylor Hicks and second-season winner Ruben Studdard have all departed from the Sony BMG recording family in recent weeks, a fact that he was obviously aware of. He also referenced British music company EMI's reported plans to cut up to 2,000 jobs in its recorded music division.
"It's tough. The record industry's tough right now," said Lewis. "EMI's laying off a lot of their people. It's just a tough industry right now with digital mediums."
