I've been curious about Elliott's coverage in the international media. I came across this site: www.entertainmentwise.com. I believe this is a UK site. These comments were posted in the days following his elimination from AI. There are also plenty of comments there from the US and Canada.
Int'l fans: when you come across articles about E, post them on these boards! Thanks!
Elliot - get that album out soon, can’t wait to hear your tones again. Please, please include a cover of George Benson or Stevie Wonder. Thanks for the entertainment !

The UK will miss you - you were the main reason why our family watched the show. Fabulous vocalist and unlike Taylor - ’grew’ in the last few weeks. Good luck in the future and if the record industry has any sense - you should have a record contract soon.

Elliot, I cant believe you have been voted out, I wanted you to win. You are the only one that really has a great voice and can truly sing. I pray your dreams will come true. I feel the only thing that let you down was that you didnt always look comfortable on stage, .....Why? you have a fantastic talent, please believe in yourself; I do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Elliot althought I felt you were not going to make it in the top 3, you did good. Among the guys you really had the best vocals and versatility and the biggest heart. To me you deserve better, you are very good. I will definitely be looking forward to your album.

Elliot - so sorry to see you go - you’re the one person in this competition who has grown so much and not just the hair! (which looks great) Fantastic voice and personality but humble and sweet - big kiss to you and your lovely mum! Good luck in all you do. Hope to hear you soon as well!

I thought the most touching part was when Elliott Yamin went to his home state. He is a very wonderful person. I felt like Paula that evening. I also cried. I downloaded his version of the song ”Home”. I still tear up. It is a beautiful song from a beautiful person. I will buy his cd.
