So how did Blake Lewis manage to secure a spot on the semifinals of "American Idol" last night? He could have his skunky blonde highlights to thank! We all know that the always adventurously coiffed singer dyed his hair brown a few weeks back. It seems that everyone from Rosie O'Donnell to bloggers etc. hated it. One wrote to TMZ.com: "Please tell Blake that going dark didn't work for Ashlee Simpson and it doesn't work for him either!"
TMZ reports "exclusively" today that it was because of this that Blake added back some blonde. But is hair color enough for him to knock off powerhouses Lakisha or Jordin next week? I really don't think so...
