Inspired by former Laker Girl Paula Abdul, Blake's childhood friend Kristi Redman, along with other friends, got serious about making pro-Blake paraphernalia as the singer kept advancing in the competition. Now t-shirts ranging from $15 to $20 along with baby onesies, buttons and hats are available on blakergirls.com with 50 percent of the proceeds going to the Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center in Seattle, in honor of Blake's friend Brad and Brad's girlfriend Heather, who were both diagnosed with lymphoma within two months of each other.

Move over Soul Patrol! The Blaker Girls (and Boys) have arrived!
To show their support for Idol finalist Blake Lewis, the Seattle-based singer's cheering squad has been sporting shirts emblazoned with "Blaker Girl" or "Blaker Boy" across the chest when they attend the show.

Bothell's beatboxing local boy, Blake Lewis, one of eight remaining contestants on "American Idol," has never watched an episode of "Idol." He was always too busy performing in small Seattle venues or recording new beats in the makeshift sound studio his dad built for him out of egg crates and plywood outside their Kenmore home.

Beatboxing -- not big hair -- may be the reason Seattle stays in the "American Idol" spotlight. While Fanjaya fever has made millions go Sanjaya Malakar-azy, another hometown boy -- Blake Lewis, the other Seattle guy -- has quietly and consistently continued to make the cut.

This is a guy local fans are pulling for just as fervently as for the loved -- and hated -- Malakar. The locally based Blaker Girls are staging viewing parties to root for their hero's victory in May. His hometown of Bothell will declare April 11 "Blake Lewis Day."
