What a fantastic article. Why am I not surprised, that kind hearted, generous, gracious, Elliott decides to do this show anyway. I tell you, I have never ONCE been disappointed in this man. I really don't have him on a pedestal. I know he is a human, prone to error, but his heart is as BIG as a heart can be. :awe:

Yep - he always leaves us reason to be proud. No he's not perfect or immune from mistakes, but the character he demonstrates leaves me sure that any mistakes he makes will not be out of malice, but just a result of being human. To me, the intent is to do good - and that makes him imminently loveable.

Congrats lucky Haverhill community!

What a stand-up kind of young man. I suppose that he's now hit the big time, unfortunately, his popularity was exploited.

I suppose his managment team's hardest task is to make sure his good-hearted nature doesn't get taken advantage of.

Hat's off to them all.

I don't know what to say. He is UNBELIEVABLE. :awe:

Hes amazing.
Seriously.

PERFECTO!

"But planners became suspicious when an agency representative made additional demands, such as funds for Yamin and his band's air fare, hotel rooms, meals, and even $200 in liquor."

lmao!

and i think he's going to wow them a little more than those local bands they were talking about. "Guster" ??

I loved the comments like:
I hear him on the radio all the time.
He's different than other singers.
He's a very good singer, he's very talented.

:elliottcap:

What an amazing person he is.

I like that the article said that, after they mentioned him being an AI finalist, that he is "a celebrity in his own right." DARN RIGHT! :rocker:

What those teenagers said about him is great publicity! How many artists would do something like this? Elliott places his fans so highly.

I also like that they mentioned a top 4 single.

I'm more amazed by him all the time.

:awe:

He is by far the most beautiful soul in the music industry. As is his team, because this whole thing could have been 'swept under the rug' as I believe happens with many artists, who are clueless about their careers, just being told where to be & when to be there. Obviously, Elliott & his team have an AWESOME relationship/communication, proven by his success & this situation. The fact that Elliott is doing this is no shock to us, just further proof that the man whose voice grabbed our attention, also stole our hearts with his amazing soul. *sigh* I loves him. :wub:

Alright...so who is planning an Etrain convention in Haverhill? ;)

YELLIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just called you! What are you gonna do?????????????How far is it ?I already checked,and it's about 300 miles from me. Kinda far for a 30 minute set. Now if it was solo, that woukd be a whole nother story!But I am still thinking
Call me

WOW!!!!!! This is why I am once again proud to be a fan of
Elliott Yamin....And as long as he needs the support of the members
of the Etrain...this will remain my second home.... :elliottcap:

How close is Haverhill to Boston? I have to tell my sister in RI about this - she isn't very far from there. She loves Elliott.

Actually, Guster is an awesome, unique band, one of my favorites. I saw them perform as the opening act for John Mayer, and I was immediately hooked.

But I'd still rather see Elliott! That was so sweet of him to agree to do this. I live in RI, so I'll have to see how far away Haverhill is!

sounds good backporch :) maybe i'll check em out sometime...

I looked it up, and it's about 35 miles from Boston.

So heartwarming-- and yet another reason (not that we needed anymore) to love this honest, down-to-earth, humble, amazing human being.

Just another reason to be proud to be an E fan and E-trainer-

what an awesome person he is (and his people are)

You go E-- show other stars how it's done baby
:awe:

Sweeeeeeeeet!!!! Boy, we really know how to pick em dont we!

What a class act...he so didn't have to do this...but being who he is...no suprise at all that he is!!

Go Elliott!

What Rick said.

JUST ELLIOTT BEING ELLIOTT (Local Red Sox Fans will totally get that phrase!!)

What a great guy, how can anyone not just love Elliott. This is what I saw when I met him, a really good heart.

Any Richmond fans up for this? :elliottelliott:

Elliott wins more hearts with his gracious acceptance. What a class act!

hahahaha ;)

Do. Not. Tempt. Me.

It would be fun!!!!

Wow! One again, I'm gone for the day and more crazay news! I will SO be therel! I thought I would have to wait for October to possibly see Elliott and now I get my chance early. My kids may even want to go to this as they are into bands also.

What a guy he is to do this. :awe:

:cheerleader1:

I read this is an all-day event. I wonder if there's any way to find out what time Elliott will be on. Not too interested in most of the other bands.

Once again, Elliott just being Elliott. He's just the greatest!

Elliott is definately a class-act! He didn't have to this, but he is. That just goes to show the type of person he is. He has a heart of gold!
