布萊克·科林·路易斯(Blake Colin Lewis,1981年7月21日-)是一位美國(guó)歌手。路易斯是第六季《美國(guó)偶像》的亞軍。2006年,從未收看過(guò)《美國(guó)偶像》的路易斯到位于西雅圖的比賽場(chǎng)館為節(jié)目試音,并在各評(píng)審前演唱了節(jié)奏藍(lán)調(diào)歌手西爾(Seal)的歌曲Crazy。作為地區(qū)口技比賽的優(yōu)勝者,路易斯在其后的好萊塢周(Hollywood's Week)與克里斯·斯萊(Chris Sligh)、魯?shù)稀たǖ羌{斯和湯姆·勞爾(Tom Lowe)組成一隊(duì),演唱比吉斯(Bee Gees)的名曲《How Deep Is Your Love》時(shí)用口技為隊(duì)友打節(jié)奏。他們的演出受到好評(píng),不但獲臺(tái)下的觀眾和作為評(píng)審之一的寶拉·阿巴杜(Paula Abdul)起立鼓掌支持,阿巴杜更認(rèn)為“那是酷翻會(huì)場(chǎng)”("that brought down the house")的表演。另外,路易斯曾于英國(guó)版《美國(guó)偶像》中提及自己于好萊塢周的首場(chǎng)個(gè)人演唱是誘惑樂(lè)團(tuán)(The Temptations)的《Papa Was a Rollin' Stone》。稍后他在其他《美國(guó)偶像》參賽者面前演唱此曲,菲爾·斯泰茜(Phil Stacey)稱那是他記憶中路易斯的最佳表演。路易斯成為第六季《美國(guó)偶像》成績(jī)最優(yōu)秀的男性參賽者;然而節(jié)目的三位評(píng)審在比賽初段已正確預(yù)測(cè)他的領(lǐng)先位置。

Best known as the beatboxing contestant on season six of American Idol, Blake Lewis hails from Bothell, WA. Lewis comes from a musical family -- his mother used to be in a rock band and continues to sing and play guitar -- and began singing himself at age five. He impressed Randy Jackson, Simon Cowell, and Paula Abdul at the Seattle auditions with his beatboxing and performance of Seal's "Crazy," and further wowed them at Hollywood week, where he performed with fellow contestants Rudy Cardenas and Chris Sligh. Performances of songs like Keane's "Somewhere Only We Know" and Jamiroquai's "Virtual Insanity" reflected his hip musical tastes; some of Lewis' other favorite artists include Björk, Imogen Heap, 311, and Gnarls Barkley. His distinctive style won him early fan support, including a voting bloc calling themselves "the Blaker Girls," and Lewis ultimately emerged as the season's runner-up. While completing the subsequent American Idol tour that summer, he spent most of his evenings focusing on his full-length studio debut, co-writing 12 of the album's 13 tracks and collaborating with such producers as OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder. Audio Day Dream dropped in December 2007, buoyed by the leadoff single "Break Anotha."
