The revelation last night that American Idol contestant Crystal Bowersox has diabetes gave us an idea: the show should use her illness to raise awareness of diabetes in the U.S. The show didn’t mention the disease, although Crystal briefly mentioned it on her Facebook page. Why should the show be so mum on the matter — especially when Idol is known form being interested in causes with its big ‘Idols Give Back’ specials.
In case you were wondering, there are plenty… More »
This year American Idol is bringing back “Idol Gives Back” after last year’s hiatus (word was the recession was so bad that they didn’t feel right asking viewers to part with their money). I’m so glad they’re doing it again because I really enjoy it and it’s always such a great cause.
Season five finalist Elliott Yamin is taking Kara DioGuardi to Angola to film a segment for “Idol Gives Back”. Elliot is going to show Kara around while also presenting… More »
Have you heard Elliott Yamin’s new single “Fight For Love”? I really liked it and judging from the poll on Popeater’s site, most people love it too. Listen to it here and then come back and tell me what you think. What I like best about it is that the tempo and feel of the song changes so many times in a way that goes along with the intent and emotion behind the lyrics. Very clever. … More »
The fifth season of American Idol produced one of the biggest shocks I’d ever felt watching the show. When Chris Daughtry was up against Katharine McPhee for elimination, I was sure it was Kat’s time to go. Even she looked shocked and horrified. Chris was a fan-favorite and has gone on to enjoy HUGE success as the frontman for Daughtry so I still just don’t understand how he got eliminated. Taylor Hicks went on… More »
Elliott Yamin has a new Christmas CD out this year called My Kind of Holiday and, from what I’ve heard, it’s pretty good. Of course, it’s got "This Christmas" which I’m sure many of you have heard (it’s so good!). The disc also featured completely reworked versions of classic songs like "Jingle Bells," "Little Drummer Boy," "The Christmas Song" and "Merry Christmas, Baby." There are some new songs like "Warm Me Up," "Back Door Santa,"… More »

I’m very sad to announce that Elliott Yamin’s mother, Claudette, has passed away. Elliott, a finalist on American Idol’s fifth season, was very close to his mother who died last night at 65 years of age. Her cause of death has not been released but it was reported that she spent the weekend in the hospital. etrainstation.com put up a statement saying that the family has asked for privacy and that in lieu of sending flowers, donations can… More »
Katharine McPhee and Elliott Yamin have reportedly recorded this song “Real Love” for American Idol judge Randy Jackson’s upcoming album.

I got my hands on these stats yesterday so they are valid as of November 28, 2007. I think that they provide a pretty interesting look at Jordin Sparks’ first week as well as at how some of the other former American Idol contestants are doing. Check it out (from USA Today): Jordin’s 119,000 first-week sales, according to Nielsen SoundScan, which landed her at No. 10 on the Billboard album chart, are not only the lowest… More »

It’s Friday which normally means there is a Face Off with Clay Aiken in it… and today’s no different. Clay faces off against Elliott Yamin. This is a hot one because both American Idol cuties sing “Open Arms” in very different styles. I love them both!
Which will you choose?
Clay Aiken
Elliott Yamin

Elliott Yamin has only good things to say about American Idol, really, even if he is honest about Paula Abdul (l love Elliott for that – just tell the truth!). Here’s what I read on Reality Blurred :
“I don’t have anything to do with that show anymore. That was two years ago,” he Elliott tells Parade magazine. Still, he has no hard feelings. “They treated us great. They’re great people, all of them.”
They’re so great, he has nice things to… More »
I just devour every article I find relating to Elliott Yamin. What I like about him is that he is so real and it really comes across in his interviews. Here’s one I read from Parade Magazine. Check it out:
Elliott Yamin is proud. And he has every reason to be. The 29-year-old’s first single, “Wait for You,” just went gold; he’s still basking in the American Idol glow (he came in an impressive third in Idol ’s… More »
