Let's see what you'd do:)

you didn't have this listed sorry....but I'd be STUPID & be kicking myself for months afterwards for not holding it together & leaving that retarded image of me in Elliott's head for all time.

Yeah I was looking for that choice as well.

Well I've met or been around Elliott on 4 different occasions. I've done everything from kissing him on the cheek after my sister and I had our pic taken with him, to giving him a hug for Amandarhea, to shaking his hand after the Birchmere concert. At Birchmere, I told him I wanted to say hello from Amandarhea and myself and that I was her HarleyMom. He looked at me and said, "Oh, you're HarleyWoman". I was floored by that.

ETA: Voted Very Friendly - because that's just me.

Oh wow Harley..that means he does get on here & check periodically. **giggles nervously at things said in Thudalicious Thread**.
You must have been floored by that..I know I would have been.

I voted cordial at a distance, because that is just how I have behaved on both times I was with Elliott - I can see that people seem to expect and demand so much of him on a personal level - I don't want to be one more person sapping even more from him - of course, that's just how I am - and Elliott loves his fans, so I've probably sold myself short in my "Elliott" time. I was talking to my son a couple of weeks ago about the various reactions everyone has when in the general breathing space of Elliott and he reminded me "Mom, fan does not equal friend, even though everyone wants it to" I've decided to take that advice to heart. I will say this - the time I actually talked for a minute to him I was surprised that I wasn't flustered at all - but just worried I was taking his time (silly me)

Actually, I was that way at the Birchmere, I hung back for a while and then only talked to him briefly. I think I'm really somewhere in between cordial at a distance and very friendly. Linda you were at the fundraiser, I was scared to even say anything to him there. But there was those that were rushing up to get to him. I spent my time trying to keep his Mom from being knocked over.

Linda, your time's a comin! :cheerleader1:

Well, I figure he knows I love him - and so if we can't hang out and have a couple of beers - ha - then I don't need to seek out the one on one time - but I probably will at least once, so I have a picture with him that doesn't include my mouth hanging wide open like the last one :rotfl:

You need a pic with E like the one I took of you and Brandon. That was a great picture and not because I took it, all I did was press the button.

I really don't know how I'd act if I had the chance to meet him bit I doubt I could be so 'chilled'...I'm just not that 'cool'....it's just the kind of person I am.

elliottcrazy, I think Elliott loves his fans, cool or starstruck - in fact he probably enjoys the ones that are starstruck much more. Hope you get to meet him and no matter what your reaction - it'll be a moment to remember.

Haha I'd probably do something stupid that I'd regret like a second later... and this is going to sound SO weird but I've had like 5 different dreams where I've met him and made the worst impression and the whole rest of the dream I try to prove that I'm different that his first impression of me ^^;
Though if I do meet him I'd ask him to take a picture of us high fiving (lol don't ask...) and give him a hug (unless that means I'm being too intrusive of something >_O)

Not rabid! :drool: Sweet as a :bunny: I just like to reach out & touchy :hug: his :hot: -ness!!

that's so funny. I haven't dreamt of E yet but I'm sure once I see him in person that will happen.

The first time I ever met him, I literally could not speak coherently.Unfortunately, it was on the dayside tv show, and all that came out of my mouth at first was "hug", and then we hugged. But it didnt even sound like a word, it sounded more like a wounded puppy dog. but then after the show, and i had finally stopped shaking, I was able to talk to him like a semi- normal human being.

I just remember everybody talking about "the lady wearing all the buttons"! You sure stood out! Just think how far things have come since then! You were the first "famous" fan!

The first time I met Elliott, I babbled some inanity and only asked for a hug after several other people did.
The 2nd time, I kept my distance and we exchanged a few words.
The third tiime, as we posed for a picture, I rubbed his back slightly and said he must be exhausted and that the Etrain loved him. This was all in the same night.
I did not feel like I was his "buddy" – I am, plain and simply, a fan (forever).
:awe:

:rotfl: :rotfl: NO, I wasn't... Amandareah was, Remember when she met him at graceland?? I remember seeing a video of that, thinking WHO WAS THAT?????????? Then we got to know her on the boards, then we got to know her in person
.....so so so many happy memories!!!!!!!!!
I still want to see a vid of Doxie running alongside the limo in Richmond in her bare feet!!!!!!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

No offense, to Amandareah, but I can only recall you being the first one...



I've met Elliott before. ^_^
I wasn't distant, but I couldn't really think of what to say either... So I don't know what category that would go under... :unsure:

When I met Elliott at the Birchmere it all seemed so unreal. If I hadn't of gotten my picture with him, I would still think it was just a dream. I did like him having his arm around me though as well as mine around him :awe: lol I was pretty much speechless after that. All I said was "sign.. this?" and "yes" when he asked if I wanted a picture. I'm glad I made him laugh though when my dad said that I have 3 of his CDs :rotfl:

Yes..thank god you have that pic..I would imagine it feels like an 'out of body' experience meeting him for the first time...I get butterflies just thinking about it.

I remember her at Graceland. She said "Elliott hugged me". Ahhhhhh! They are happy memories. She posted on the AI boards in "green" and that hasn't changed.

Ok...that's the same Amanda that posted the pics of Graceland?...I remember her from the AI boards...oh wow..I don't know why I didn't make that connection before, the green seemed so familiar to me. Now I have a face...oh man I really want her to get better. No, scrap that..she WILL get better.
She was on the video montage on the show the week they went to graceland..it's all coming back now.

lol.. when we met Elliott..it was definitely surreal out of body experience..i was actually shy..lol! oh mercy! swoon! i was so excited and beside myself i don't think i remembered what happened but it was incredible! he was so sweet and friendly! we all just luv him! awesome! ;) :elliottelliott:

Yup, that's her. I knew her the minute I met her in July 06 because of that video and pics.

yeah, my experience wasn't listed. The first time, I was shaking so hard inside all that came out was "I love you soooo much!". Second time too for that matter. After that first blubbering though, I did manage to be friendly.

HI Y'all,The first time I met Elliott was 8/29/07 here in Sacramento,CA when Elliott was here on the American Idol Concert Tour!I saw Elliott out by the busses and I ran stright for him and put my arm around Elliott!He said I realy like your shirt it was an Elliott tshirt!He was there only for a min.or so he had to go to sound check!Then I met Elliott again on 6/12/07 in San Fransisco,CA at his concert at Slims!I went to a special meet and greet and Elliott was on stage and jumped off the stage with a smile on his face!Elliott is just the nicest guy in the world!Elliott gave us Autographs,took pictures with us.I understand how short Elliott realy is because I was standing right next to him and I'm only 5"6"and hes not that much taller then me! :elliottcap: :elliottelliott: :etrain: 4 LIFE!!!

I have never, ever been this much of a fan of any artist in my life, so I honestly had no idea how I was going to react to meeting him at the Birchmere. I'm a can be fairly emotional at times, so was scared that I would embarrass myself and be that crying & trembling fan....But when my time came, to my surprise (and relief...lol) I was very relaxed =)!! And I think its largely due to the fact that Elliott is such a down to earth guy. After giving him my CD & cell phone (yes cell phone) to sign, he actually initiated conversation with me (and my friends), He told us about how somebody actually gave him a land line phone to sign once, so that I shouldnt feel bad about giving him my cell... lol, we all took individual pics with him and shared a couple of laughs, it was really cool... Then as I was waiting for the rest of my friends to get their individual time with him... one of them mentioned to him that I was a really big fan and that his concert was serving as a birthday prestent for me...she then asked if he would give me a hug... I couldn't believe her... he so sweetly replied "absolutely" then looked at me, opened his arms and said.. "come here" :awe: Needless to say.... best birthday present ever!!!

Can anyone find that montage from graceland? I would love to see it again. I remember amandarhea, but I didn't know who she was until I started posting on here, so I don't really remember alot about it. I looked on youtube but only found a very short clip of Tay, Chris, El, and Kat in the car..she may have given Elliott a hug right at the beginning of that vid, but you can't really see her very much. Please post if you find it...thanks!! :)

Well next to my wedding day, meeting E might have been the happiest day of my life!! He is so beautiful! At first I just told him I loved him about 5 times, then was starstruck! He was an absolute doll!

that's sweet AngELL! almost as good as your wedding day. haha

I met Elliott twice - The first time was after his tour performance here in Mpls, when I got a picture taken with him. I told him I would see him the next day at Target offices where I work and where he was going to perform, and that I was his #1 fan. He was very quiet and polite and thanked me. I don't even remember him putting his hand on my shoulder when the picture was taken, I was so giddy about it all. then I started to leave and he called out to me "so I'll see you tomorrow then" - he was much more composed than I was! The next day I saw him before his performance and as he walked by I called out to him "Hey Elliott - I saw you perform last night" and gave him a thumbs up - he said "Oh thank you very much" - I doubt if he remembered me from the night before. I noticed that he looks you straight in the eye, is very mellow (not the smiley face we see in the all the pictures), and very very kind.

ETA: I guess I was somewhere between cordial and very friendly, both times!

Same here,
When i went to the concert/tour, whatever you want to call it.... at Slim's.. i was literally star strucked/overwhelmed.. but at the end surprisely when elliott came out to sign autographs and all i was OMG OMG OMG OMG! and wanted a hug so badly, i had a chance right there at that moment, but my mom pushed me away and told me that i had to go about a trillion times, wahhhh...

when i was walking back to the bart station to go back to my house, cause my mom didn't want to drive because of traffic, and what she calls "a waste of gas", i kept weeping and chanted, "all i wanted was a hug" *waahhh*

and i still think that way, "oh why can't i have a hug from my idol, elliott? i want one so bad"

ahh i didn't noticed that i was blabbering on, sorry 'bout that xDD

Love ALL your posts...almost makes me feel as giddy reading them as when I met him, bwaaaah! butterflies!!! Those of you who have met him more than once-----lucky, lucky, lucky!

Awww....that's kind of sad & funny at the same time. I'm sure you'll get another chance. I haven't even seen him perform live yet...can you imagine???

I hope that I would react better than I did when I met one of my favorite singers at a party. He and some others with him came over to talk to us. I just stood there and smiled like an idiot. Could not make actual words come out of my mouth. Good thing the others with me were talkative.

I blew it and I know that I will never get that chance again. Oh well. At least I met him and he was awesome and hot.

At least I didn't say anything stupid or faint. LOL.

The first time Imet Elliott...well to put it simply, I was a shaking babbling idiot , it was right after he performed WFY (Mar 20 ) on R& K . He came out to greet the crowd, and people were swarming him , I couln't get close enough, and I was half crying Elliott ! Elliott ! ..Out of nowhere, some lady kept saying let her thru, let her thru, and the crowd parted. I told him I was a Moosak Sista, and he aknowledged me . ..and I planted one on him ! I was a mess for some time after. !!

Right now I feel like "Gimme my E now!!" I haven't had the chance to meet him yet...found out that he's coming to Birmingham, Alabama on Oct. 24, 07 and I'm praying that I get that chance!!!!!!
Once I see him my legs will probably turn to jell-eeeeee and I'll slip and fall in a puddle of my drool in front of him.. :thud:
I am truly a very shy person, but when it comes to Elliott I would "have to" ask if I could have a hug, a picture taken to make sure its not just a dream, and an autograph...on one of my CD's that I have left sealed (just for the occassion of getting his autograph one day)...I'd probably tell him how much I have loved him since day one..and probably cry as I congratulate him on all of his success and let him know that he has a fan for life :awe: (or I'll be the one still left standing in line wishing I had of gotten the chance, when it's time for him to leave!) (I rated myself Very Friendly though)...I'm waiting for the moment that I finally get to meet him!!!!

I hope that you get to see Elliott in Birmingham. I'm sure that it will be a great event. Start clearing your calendar now. Troy or Montgomery would have been ideal but Birmingham's good too. I'm hoping that Atlanta will be on Elliott's tour schedule. If not, I will probably go to Birmingham.

Daughtry was in Montgomery last weekend. Huge crowd showed up for them. Alabama loves the Idols.

I would hope to be friendly but knowing myself I'll probably be too shy to say anything to him.

From the poll, it seems as if most E-Trainers would be able to keep it together. Nice for them and for Elliott.
