Back when this show was still relevant. I still think Elliot was the best male vocalist to come through Idol.

I used to work at Chesterfield Towne Center in a shoe store across from the Footlocker that he worked at in the late 90's. He was closing one night as was I, and I heard someone singing a song by Jon B like it was just nothing. Y'all he sounded amazing even then. I was so excited to see him on AI! In my opinion though, he was robbed. He should have won, but I'm so happy he did well even afterwards!

We need people like him on American Idol. I am shocked we don't hear him on the radio. Now in 2024 American Idol it is mainly country. They come out with their guitars and play a song they composed. Boring no fun songs you want to get up and dance to. Only time the music is good is when the Judges pick the songs for the contestants. Show has gone downhill.

I appreciate contestants on American Idol who take on Stevie Wonder songs-since they're notoriously difficult to sing. Well, if they're not ghastly, or at minimum average, but deluded, thinking they can do it... Elliott of course pulls it off, convincingly and then some. What can't this boy do? He was my favorite throughout, but who went and won? Everyone's drunk uncle Taylor Hicks. And I love that all these years later people are still here commenting on his performance. Not just me! But commenters before my as freash as 3 weeks ago! Even the humble, lesser known performances on the small stage. Proves his staying power, doesn't it? Maybe his record label should do a new push for him... And speaking of sweating, the other contestants were guaranteed going "Oh fuuuck..." Really "happy" for him. I'm surprised Simon didn't pull "The rest might as well pack up their suitcases and leave" line (to Paula's protest). But it was probably on account of Elliott not being 'the full package,' that Simon likes to see. Your Justin Timberlake or Enrique Iglesias. Now, I had to google "cute male singers"-because I couldn't think of anyone besides Timberlake. Haha! (I thought of Justien Bieber, blech, and then I couldn't unthink it.) And funnily Timberlake was #2 on both lists! I don't know about #2 hottest male artist in history.... But what works in his favor for me are his brilliant performances on SNL. (Hello "Dick in a box." 😂) One of the lists was pretty cool as it didn't just have contemporary singers,-but the likes of Elvis, Jim Morrison and Robert Plant. Freddy Mercury! (But hey, if you can pull off a harlequin cat suit you damned well got it.) Which, excuse me, Elvis at #18, Jim Morrison at #66, Kurt Cobain at 77, when you've got Josh Groban (come on!) at #8, and honest-to-god _David Archuleta_ at #26? But yeah, Archuleta is obviously _way_ hotter than Kurt Cobain. Bonjour.
