Title: Recap On Elliott's USO Show


Querida - February 19, 2008 09:04 PM (GMT)
Hello, don't want to tease y'all. I just got back from seeing Elliott and have several pictures plus a few video clips. But, since I'm new to all this - I don't know how. Can someone tell me what I need to do?

All I can say is "One Word" - our boy was AMAZING!!! He rocked the house and the crowd was into him. They loved him. I'm still in a daze from seeing him - can't believe I actually got to see, meet and talk to him.

I'll send a recap of the show along with my pictures once I figure this out. But any advice would be helpful.

Hi Querida! Glad to hear the show was great (knew it would be)!

The best way to post photos is to open an account at Photobucket.com. Then you can upload your pictures there. Once the pictures are uploaded, you will see the thumbnails(small versions) of them in your album. Below the thumbnails are codes you can use to copy and paste your picture to your post here. Use the last code on the list. Usually when you click on it, you will see a little yellow "copy" flag. Go to your post, and use Ctrl v to paste the picture. You won't see the image in the reply window, just the code. You can preview your post to make sure you can see the image. Good luck! It's easy once you get the hang of it.

Welcome Querida. I can't wait to see your pictures.

You can always make an account and upload the videos to youtube then post the link to the page where the videos are, actually you can use photobucket for them too.

Looking foward to the racap & pics! Congrats on being able to meet him, he is a doll! Great instructions from poorme, just follow those & we will be joining you in your fandom! :fangirly: :elliottelliott:

Querida - February 20, 2008 09:49 AM (GMT)
:1word: Here’s my recap of a day I will not forget. First, my darling and wonderful husband arranged for me to sit in a brief that Elliott was schedule to attend. I must admit I was a bit embarrassed since I was the only crazy fan in the room but I didn’t care – it was my chance to see him up close. The briefing went well. He was funny and very humble. I got to meet him, get a cd signed and give him a little gift so he can always remember his stay in Germany. I told him I would be wearing my Etrain shirt at the show and he said he had heard that there was an Etrainer in Stuttgart (thanks, Brandon). Then it was off to the show. I arrived an hour and half early. I thought I was going to be the only one there but NO – about twenty people beat me there and they were all excited about seeing him. As the time near, the crowd got pretty rowdy. As we made our way in, I discovered I wasn’t the only one with a sign. There were about 10 signs (which made me happy for Elliott). The show kicked off with him singing – “Alright”. That got the crowd going and everyone was singing, yelling and going crazy. People were yelling “Elliott, we love you and Elliott, you are awesome”. Being so gracious, he would yell back “I love you, more”. It was totally sweet. Everyone was singing with him especially his hit single “Wait for You”. He sang about 11 songs and closed with “Song for You”. Our local USO presented him with some plaque. Didn’t hear much about it because by this time, I was racing to get in line for the meet and greet. I was like a little kid again, pushing my way to get there first. Thanks to a friend – I knew where they were setting him up so I made it number 4 in line but got to be first when things got a little unorganized. I had my Etrain shirt so when he saw me he was all smiles and said “that’s really cool”. To be honest, I can’t remember what else was said – I was in such a daze. I got my Christmas CD and a flyer signed plus managed to snap some more pictures. It was AMAZING! I still can’t believe I met my American Idol. He is as sweet as everyone said and a great performer. My whole day was wonderful. I’m extremely grateful to my husband, the USO and my 3 year old son who put up with his mami going crazy at a concert. I took a ton of pictures but haven’t edited all of them. So, here’s a few plus a video clip (thanks for the help - hope it works). Sorry, the pictures are big - don't know how to make them smaller.

Great recap, pictures and video, Querida. Thank you so very much. I'm happy that you got to meet Elliott and that the whole day was wonderful for you. Wow, it seems as if Elliott was shown a lot of love. That makes me smile.

Yay, for representing the E-Train at Elliott's concert. Extremely cool.

My cousin, who used to be in the Air force, was once stationed in Germany.

Best wishes to you and to your family.

You've made our day.

Awesome Querida! I will be quoting you on the concert section of the Etrain so your recap is included with the rest of the concert recaps. Brandon will be happy to know Elliott got his messages regarding our very own Etrainer (you!!)...yeay!

Elliott sure looks fresh and happy in those pics. :D

yellin4yamin - February 20, 2008 03:09 PM (GMT)
First and foremost, welcome to the E-Train!!! It couldn't make me happier that number one, Elliott has such amazing, supportive fans ALL OVER the world, and that he was able to DO a tour like this, but most of all, that you were able to "experience" all that is Elliott, in person, because as you NOW know, there is just simply nothing like it. I am so thrilled for you hon, and thank you so very, very much for taking the time to share your wonderful story with all of us here!! xo

MOMster - February 20, 2008 06:19 PM (GMT)
He looks so cute. I like his greenish cap - is it new? :elliottcap2:

realitymom - February 20, 2008 06:28 PM (GMT)
(Posted on the other thread too! ;) )

OMG!! A RECAP! SQUUUUWEEEEEEEEEE

This is so stankin exciting! Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful experience with us!! The 1st picture, with that big ole smile of Elliotts' shining from ear to ear...PRICELESS! (I like his haircut too! SHHHHHH, don't tell E tho, he is ornery enough to grow that dern ponytail thing back just to spite me! )

Love the last pic too, you can see he is LOVIN what he is doin. :wub:

imthesame - February 20, 2008 09:06 PM (GMT)
This is a wonderful thread - terrific pictures and recap - just the stuff needed to get through the day - thank you so much!!

georgiafan1 - February 20, 2008 10:01 PM (GMT)
I was happy to read that Elliott sang, "A Song For You" at the concert. He didn't at some shows here in the USA. It is such a special song and Elliott sings it beautifully. I could listen to ASFY, "Free" and "I'm The Man" all day. I would love to someday hear Elliott and Sway harmonize to "Free". You were lucky. :elliottcap2:


KittyloverforElliott - February 21, 2008 12:49 AM (GMT)
Querida, I think you took one of the best pictures of Elliott I have ever seen. Thanks so much for the recap, video, and the pictures. I am so thrilled for you that even being in Germany, you were able to meet him.
