What we saw with Elliott's bit at Idol time was him having a child named after him while he cries and is all humble and cute. WOW I am so proud to be a fan. What we saw for McPhee was all dreamy and set up as all her performances where. Why the comparison? Because it just shows some things never change. You go Elliott and just know your fan base is there to buy buy buy when ever you are ready with a new offering.

While I'm not a big fan of McPhee, I'm not sure what you are trying to compare. The idols don't have say (I don't think) in what happens. The producers lay it out for him. Elliott having a child named after wasn't scripted.

What did McPhee do on give back? I didn't watch the show?

Every little bit that I see Elliott on idol, just conforms how sweet he is!
