Including tonights performance...The Idol's only have 21 more shows and their obligation to American Idol will be complete.

WHO do we think has benefited the most from the tour exposure?
WHO has gotten the best press reviews while on tour?
WHO will be the next Idol success story?
WHO will sell more records than Kelly Clarkson?

WILL it be Taylor Hicks...The current American Idol?
WILL it be Katherine McPhee...The second place contestant?
or
WILL it be the MIGHTY "Underdog"...The one who came from behind...
The one who NEVER misses a note? Possibly the BEST vocalist EVER in the HISTORY of American Idol? The man who "MOVES" all who listen to him including Paula Abdul? The one who isn't afraid to show his true feelings? Who will oneday beable to put all of those emotions into what he does best...

SING FROM DEEP WITHIN HIS SOUL...ENTERTAIN THE WORLD...TEACH THE WORLD WHAT GOOD MUSIC IS SUPPOSED TO BE...


MAY ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE ELLIOTT...YOUR JOURNEY HAS JUST BEGUN...AND YOU MY FRIEND, DESERVE ALL OF THE SUCCESS WAITING FOR YOU, UPON THE COMPLETION OF THE AMERICAN IDOL TOUR!!! (Only 23 more shows to go)

You are headed down the final stretch...The checkered flag is waving in the air...

A Proud West End Nana

Wow, Nana...excerpts of this post belongs to "The Thread That Elliott Built"....
Wonderfully written!

Excellent post Nana! It was all I could do to keep from tearing up reading it. :thumbsup:

:etrain: :grouphug:

Waaaa!!!!That made me cry for the second time today. I was thinking about this whole summer, and how much fun it was to go to the concerts, and then relive it with each and everyone who kept posting all of the wonderful stories of their concerts, looking at everyone's pictures, chatting every night, making shirts, and buttons, and posters,meeting so many of my fellow e-trainers, both in person, and online, sharing funny stories, sad stories, good luck stories, and bad luck stories.And then I thought, Oh no! , It's all wrapping up, only a few more weeks, and then what?I got all choked up, but then I realized that it's really just the beginning. Elliott will be starting out on his solo voyage, and is he ever in for a ride!. I'm certain he knows of all of the love and support he's gotten , and will continue to get from the e-train. I feel like we've been a witness to something so special, and so phenomenal, and it really hasn't even sunken in yet.I've made some treasured friendships over the past several months, gotten to meet Elliott 2 times( okay h- it's 3 times!), met Claudette, Elliott's aunts and uncle,met all the other idols ,including Kevin,who, btw, is 'da man!I've spent countless hours reading posts, writing posts, editing posts, laughing at posts, crying at posts, laughing till i'm crying at posts, getting mad at posts, getting glad at posts,getting sad at posts, and generally having the time of my life. It's been a wild ride, this e-train, and I know it will last for a long time to come.
1 more( well, maybe 2) ai concert to go then it's ALL ELLIOTT time!Looking forward to his solo career, starting with the state fair!
Meanwhile, I want to say this now, that I love all you e-trainers.It's been a special and wonderful time that we have all shared. Let's continue!!!

I WISH HIM A LONG AND SUCCESSFUL CAREER AND ALL THE BEST TO HIM ON HIS CLIMB UP THE CHARTS. THIS IS MEANT TO BE FOR HIM. I HOPE THE AI POWERS THAT BE WILL SOMEDAY REGRET WHAT THEY LOST OUT ON--A VERY TALENTED, AND WONDERFUL MAN WHO HAS THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL AND A ONE IN A MILLION PERSONALITY. HIS SINGING HAS HEIGTENED MY LOVE OF MUSIC AND EVERY SONG I HEAR HAS NEW MEANING , BECAUSE OF THIS GREAT TALENT. I WILL LOVE HIM 4EVER. I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR OF HIS CONTRACT. I KNOW IT WILL TAKE A LOT, BUT I HOPE HE OUT SELLS ALL PREVIOUS IDOL WINNERS AND REMAINS A MEGA STAR FOR MANY MANY YEARS. :etrain: 4LIFE

COUNT ME IN CHLOE. I AM ON THIS TRAIN FOR LIFE. EVERY WORD YOU SAY HERE IS TRUE. THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING FOR ELLIOTT'S CAREER. IN YEARS TO COME WHEN HE IS A LIVING LEGEND I WILL BE SO PROUD TO KNOW I WAS THERE FROM THE VERY START. I WILL REMEMBER SAYING TO MY FAMILY THAT GUY HAS SOME VOICE. THE ONE WITH THE VERY SHORT HAIR AND THE BEARD, HE IS MY FAVORITE AND I WILL VOTE FOR HIM. LITTLE DID I KNOW HOW I WOULD SIT IN THE CHAIR HITTTING REDIAL FOR 2 HOURS STRAIGHT TILL MY FINGERS HURT. HOW I CRIED WHEN MY BABY WENT HOME. HOW HE CHANGED ME FOREVER. I WILL NEVER LOOK AT MUSIC THE SAME WAY AGAIN. YES I AM ON THIS RIDE TILL THE END OF MY TIME AND I COULD NOT BE PROUDER TO BE A PART OF IT WITH ALL YOU GREAT FOLKS. ELLIOTT HAS PUT ME IN A PLACE I HAVE NEVER BEEN BEFORE AND I WILL NEVER GIVE IT UP. MEETING HIM HAS BEEN THE THRILL OF A LIFETIME AND I HAVE A FEELING IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS MAN IS DEEP WITHIN MY HEART AND WILL ALWAYS BE A BIG PART OF WHO I AM :etrain: 4LIFE

Nana - that was so beautiful. It would be wonderful if Elliott saw this and he would know how truly devoted his fans are. Very nice. I can't wait to see him in concert back here in Ohio. :thumbsup: :woohoo:

Nana- your post brought back all the memories of the past few months and I feel both sad and happy that the tour is ending. I just Know that Elliott is on his road to success. The E train has been my solace through all the weird and good reviews on AI and on the road, and kept my spirits up. I still can't believe how this man has captivated me so deeply, it is special, wonderful and I never want it to end.
The bond here on the E train is just wonderful, as is Elliott!
On the train for life :D

Okay that did it! I am crying my eyes out!!!

What a beautiful post NANA and all the replys have made me cry even more.

I cant beleive his 90 days is almost up, I cant beleive the tour is almost over.

Here is a man I have never met in my life. I live near him but never even said HI. I have been only to 1 concert, and never even met him or any e-trainer. HOwever, I have this unexplained connection to him and it uplifts me daily..

It has been an amazing ride, and I am so proud to be a part of the e-train and to be on this journey from the beginning. I am extremely excited about what the future holds for Elliott, and can not wait to hear in a few days who he might be signed with. That will be the true start of the individual journey of success!

I too want to tell everyone here I love you all ! You all have inspired me daily by reading all your posts and reviews and the pictures have been awesome!

Nana, that was wonderful! You write so elegantly! And the BEST IS YET TO COME! The entire E-Train wants the BEST for Elliott, as he certainly does deserve it! Elliott better pull up his boot straps, as he's going to be an even BIGGER star, when he goes out on his own! We Love our Elliott! :woohoo:
