ILike Jake

iLike Jake is the fourth episode of the first season of iCarly.

Plot
It starts off with the girls gossiping about Jake Crandall being single for the first time since the third grade. Carly later talks to Sam about Jake, whom she likes. Sam throws an apple at Jake to break the ice, so Carly can get a chance to talk to him. When she's able to chat with him, Carly invites Jake over to her house after school.

When Jake visits Carly and says he plays guitar and sings, Carly tells him he can appear on the next iCarly.

It turns out Jake is a terrible singer, and Carly, Sam and Freddie need to figure out a solution. After trapping Jake in the elevator that doesn't work, Carly suggests that Freddie can change his voice to a more clearer tone, and it works. Carly is so happy, she gives Freddie a nose kiss.

The next day, Jake says he saw the kiss, and Carly tries to tell him "It was strictly nasal!" He doesn't listen, and gets back together with his ex - girlfriend, who heard his singing-- or so she thought-- on iCarly the night before.

Trivia

 * Austin Butler, who portrays Jake Krandle, has appearances on Zoey 101, Drake and Josh, Ned's Declassified, and the movie "Aliens In The Attic". He currently appears on "Ruby & the Rockits" on ABC Family.
 * The music video for Jake's song "You're So Beautiful" can be seen fully on iCarly.com without the auto-tune.


 * When Carly suggests that Freddie can change his voice to a more clearer sound, it is a reference to auto-tune, which is very controversial in the music industry.
 * Jake wanted to sing the song for his grandmother, who bought her first computer just to see Jake sing, instead of saving her money for a new foot.
