TVguide.com have a 1/2 hour video stream of the top 5 getting ready for the shoot. It's really cute. E gets a shave. I found a direct link to it on the scary boards under general discussion. Sorry, but I'm not board savvy enough to post a direct link so I hope someone else can.....

Here's the link with a couple of photos:

American Idol: Go Beyond the Set with TV Guide

Then you click below the photos where it says "Click here to watch a video of the shoot"

Here's the direct link for the video:

TV Guide Magazine Photo Shoot: American Idol Top 5

The video runs 30 minutes. You can see Elliott here and there in the beginning part, then his photo shoot is about 13:19 into the video, and also in the last minute.

Thanks! He was cute and grumpy ;)

I dont know if he was grumpy...he might of been...but he was getting his neck shaved so he was probably nervous about talking when he was getting it down cuz it might nick him or something. I think that's why chris laughed...lol :yes:

he is such a hottie!!! and so (to use his own vocab) "endearing"!!!

Gah the video player won't load!

Wow, it's great to get other peoples' take on this video.

I really liked it when the woman giving him the shave protected Elliott when he wasn't answering a question from the TV Guide reporter. "He's sort of nervous."

I don't think Elliott could hear what the heck the guy was saying.

The photo shoot looked totally chaotic and NOISY with the music going full blast in the background. And for the very first time, it seemed that Elliott was having difficulty hearing what the photographer was saying to him..and I think the music....which was awful...was frustrating to him because he was trying to figure out what the heck the photographer was asking him to do.

What a trooper under the circumstances. :cheerleader:

Yes, that was my reaction, too. I wanted to shout to the photographer to turn the horrid music off so Elliott could hear him!

I agree, the video is really unsteady and chaotic. But hey as long as E is there, I'm watching it for him.

BTW, the background music is immensely terrible but the one during the taylor shoot sounded really familiar. It was the first song. Can anyone recognise who sang it?

Thanks so much for the link - Elliott's so adorable.
