Last week I was kicking it with American Idol's Season 5 Second Runner Up Elliott Yamin. I was just chilling at home on Tuesday when i got a random text from Elliot telling me that he was in town to do a show at the Hard Rock Cafe.
I think Elliott is one of the few idols who are really remembered for their performance and character on American Idol. He had a hit single after the show called "Wait For You" and more recently he's been pushing his new single "Can't Keep On Loving You." Elliott's new album is called "Fight For Love." You can listen to the new album at http://www.ilike.com/artist/Elliott+Yamin
Eliiott Yamin has a very soulful voice. For real! I always thought that he had a Donny Hathaway sort of sound. Even Stevie Wonder has personally told him that he reminded him of Donny Hathaway. Here is a link of "A Song For You" this is a Donny cover http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNqvp3DpLkY
I checked him out at the Hard Rock and it always surprises my how really soulful Elliott is. On top of it he's just a cool cat. I was able to run a muck around town with him and people definitely were touched by his performances on IDOL. People were really geeked to meet Elliott. I met Elliott right after season 5 and years later he's still a cool humble cat. I really appreciate when "stars" are down to earth mugs.
