Title: Regarding E in finale next week


miyagimayday - May 20, 2006 12:58 AM (GMT)
This is from Yamin Machine!

"Elliott will attend the AI5 show at the Kodak Theater in L.A. for finals, and it is our understanding that the final 12 contestants will perform on Wednesday night along with special guest stars. Hmmm... is E going to sing a duet with Stevie Wonder?"

If this is true, OMG!!!!!! I can't wait!!!!!!!!

But I also heard that Daniel Powter is going to perform "Bad Day" live too. (I think this had been confirmed)
So maybe D.P. is the special guest? Not sure!
If it's Stevie Wonder, it would be AWESOME! :thud:

IBiteToBreakSkin - May 20, 2006 01:24 AM (GMT)
I pray to God E gets to sing with his idol !

ElliottCat - May 20, 2006 02:05 AM (GMT)
Elliott said in his exit interview that there were going to be some special "starS" (plural). So, Powter is not necessarily excluding Wonder.

I've said from the beginning that E is the next Stevie Wonder. I hear it in every note that he sings. Wonder was very impressed with Elliott and Wonder was THE most impressive star coach on the show this season.

There would be no door unopened to E if he sings with Wonder, and even if he doesn't, I suspect that Wonder might open some doors, personally, for Elliott.

Elliott and Stevie on one stage....................what a dream for him! How awesome!

trbldbysquirrels - May 20, 2006 04:04 AM (GMT)

I thought Daniel Powter was singing on Tuesday night... that is messed up to have him sing Bad Day live...

I am now officially sick of that song... ah!!! can we replace his airplay with MMFL?

love4myboyelliott - May 20, 2006 05:13 AM (GMT)
1) I'm SO sick of bad day, especially now that every time i hear it it makes me think of elliott getting sent home

2) if you remember from last year (if you watched) the finale they had everyone come back and each person basically sang with a different artist, sometimes 1 person to 1 artist, sometimes 2 idols/per singer. bo bice got to sing with one of his idols if i remember correctly, so hopefully this will happen. HOW AMAZING WOULD THAT BE IF E SANG WITH STEVIE WONDER?! ahh imagine how completely moved he will be.<3 ^_^ :)

I sure hope this happens! You're right, Stevie Wonder could do Wonders for our Elliott!

Come to think of it, didn't El mention how great being "one on one" with Stevie without the cameras "was" on his exit interview and then say "would be"? I wondered about that at the time I saw it...

It's going to a great day for Elliott!!

STEVIE WONDER + WONDER WOMAN !!!

:cheerleader: :cheerleader: :cheerleader:

THAT would be Elliott's "Best day of his life". I'll tape it ,Don't know if I'll be watching yet. The wounds are still raw. :(

spunkable - May 20, 2006 10:13 AM (GMT)
E NEEDS to sing a solo with Stevie Wonder! It would be so friggin' AMAZING, it would be the friggin' highlight of the whole finale!!


:woot:


But then on that thought, who knows - the producers may not want E to upstage their Top 2. <_<

skye_tonga - May 20, 2006 10:49 AM (GMT)
oh i hope AI will do this for E and just let him have the moment they were trying so hard to keep him away from!

MammaMia2mks - May 20, 2006 01:18 PM (GMT)
Let's hope this is true. Elliott deserves some fair treatment for once. well ok twice, since they did give hime a nice send off. And I repeat"HE is sooooo much better off without them". :worship: our new king !

Did they get to sing full songs with their idols or did they all sing a medley so each idolette got to sing only a verse or two?

Me too. I never want to hear Bad Day again. Too many bad memories. I'd give anything for a Stevie/Elliott duet. Hoping, hoping.....

daveylow - May 20, 2006 03:24 PM (GMT)
Let's face it everyone, do you think A.I. is going to give Elliott any speical treatment? They have done nada for him.

lindagt - May 20, 2006 05:30 PM (GMT)
To a small extent, I disagree that AI hasn't given him anything special - While I am furious that they sabatoged his opportunity to win - think back to Wednesday. To be sure that show was All about Elliott. They saved the biggest and best homecoming for last - he sang that incredible MMFL and then, his BAD DAY montage was possibly longer than the others AND he got to sing the entire IBIMS. After the show -every one was talking about who Elliot was a lot more than Taylor and Kat. Not that it makes up for screwing him up front, but they made sure he shined at the end.

I agree what you said; however, it's kinda too little too late!
While every finalist's audition video and back story was shown at the beginning of the season, where was E's?
AI finally "promoted" E when he is getting voted off the show?!
I know, at least they showed some respects. But to me, it's just not enough to "balance" out all the mistreatments they've done to E throughout the season!
:poke: stupid AI producers!

patti4elliott - May 20, 2006 06:24 PM (GMT)
I'm just hoping that his family's website would only have a hint that it might happen (Elliott singing with Stevie in the finale) if there was some basis in fact. If I'd read it anywhere else, I'd probably discount it. But I'm very hopeful after reading about this possibility on yamin machine that it could, actually, come true. I would be soooo thrilled for Elliott if this does actually occur.

I agree. It may have been a nice send-off, but it was too little too late. Nothing could make up for the way they treated him. <_<

I REALLY hope that E gets to sing with Stevie Wonder! Just a little worried that the producers won't let him in fear of E upstaging their two 2! But all the votes would have been in by then, so it wouldn't matter. *fingers and toes crossed*

We heard this song in the car today and my 7 year old started crying. I had the volume turned down so I couldn't really hear it. When I asked her what she was crying about all I could understand were the words "Elliott" "American Idol" "Song" "radio". I finally figured it out.

American Idol has scared my daughter for life. LOL

That would THE MOMENT of the entire five seasons ! Elliott will think he died and went to heaven is he gets to sing a duet with Stevie , his idol .

Talk about there not being a dry eye in the room ! :rolleyes:

I really hope Stevie comes forward and offers him some help with a recording contract . Stevie or Quincy - people who appreciate real talent, real soul.

They did give him a nice send off in all fairness. ANd they didn't make a big big deal about the final 2 at that moment.

I am hoping the final show will be about all the contestants. If E sings with Stevie, it will be a dream come true for me. Could it be possible???????????

I too will tape the show. It's all about E for me!

OMG! I can't wait for Wed to come!!!! :thud:

dcmdf - May 20, 2006 10:13 PM (GMT)
That's what we have to remember. E is not about pop music - otherwise he would have changed the songs he sang on Tuesday. Stevie et. al. are those who will hopefully help him.

He's about soul - R&B - he didn't want to sing the "marketable" recognizable songs... that were being offered to him to sing -- he didn't want to do it.

He might not have a superstar career that burns out quickly.. he may have a wonderfully successful career as an R/B soul singer - enduring.

too little, too late may not be a bad thing for E
I think the last pimping did a lot of good in exposing E to the casual viewer.
Th/Fri I kept getting calls from co-workers who were Tay/Chris fans who finally got a chance to appreciate E-- every little bit helps!

daveylow - May 21, 2006 03:00 PM (GMT)
Last year I remember Vonzelle getting a special number to sing on the finale. She was number three. So perhaps Elliott will get a solo spot with another great singer.
Hopefully the band won't drown him out.

That wasn't the final 3 night when Vonzell was still in the competition?

Lookin4Trouble - May 21, 2006 05:33 PM (GMT)
Vonzell sang with Billy Preston on the finale results show.

I believe it was up until the final 3 they were paired with an artist. Such as Scott Savol & Nikko Smith with George Benson, Mikkala(sp?) Gordon & Lindsey (?) with Baby Face...

Although, I don't recall Constantine with a guest artist.... wasn't it Constantine, Jessica & Nadia.

But top 3 for sure should have a solo with an artist. Especially if Chris is performing with Live.

Sorry for rambling... :P

dcmdf - May 21, 2006 06:27 PM (GMT)
Oh that sounds encouraging.
Is Chris definitely singing with Live?

Nigel said it in an interview! So I think it's pretty accurate!

Lookin4Trouble - May 21, 2006 11:08 PM (GMT)
How accurate is MJ's Blog?
They are saying that he is not singing with Stevie and that is a rumor.
But, the information was originally pulled from his families website yamin machine. So it seemed legit.

I have got to stop letting this crap get to me. :alright:

goelliott - May 22, 2006 12:49 AM (GMT)
was that thread deleted? because i posted in it but cant find it now

weird

yamingirl - May 22, 2006 12:53 AM (GMT)
yamin machine is not the official website so don't assume they have correct info ;)
