I've been wondering about this for a while, it seems to me that Blake is positioned very much like Daughtry was last year.
Now I'm a hard rock fan and very much loved Daughtry's song choices, recognizing he was a superstar right away. I don't like Blake's particular musical niche really, so it's harder for me to judge.
But one thing Daughtry had going for him was he was unique, and he identified himself strongly with a genre of music not common on American Idol. He knew who he was and never compromised (and now even though he lost is breaking records with his album sales as a result).
Blake might be in a different genre, but also seems very unique to me, likeable too (not as likeable as truly nice-guy family man Daughtry but still very likeable). I don't think he'll win Idol (I don't like R&B/Soul but I recognize Melinda Doolittle has an amazing voice and is truly likeable), but Blake might be selling more albums than the winner (just like Daughtry is now).
Any thoughts?
