Today is the day WE decide Elliott's fate. Let's get Elliott in that finale! It's a critical time and I can't stress it any more how important it is to vote. Imagine him in the finale, and maybe possibly winning the title. Imagine him all alone on that stage, the spotlight on him....the balloons falling, the confetti floating, people screaming and cheering, and the tears streaming down his cheeks after Ryan announces "Elliott Yamin, you are the next American Idol". Imagin how he'd feel. Only we have the power to make that happen. No one deserves it any more than him. So make it happen people! Take a look at in the Support section for voting tips. I'll update later tonight after the show! Good luck to Elliott!!

On a lighter note, I would like to say Congrats to Elliott!! He is truly the underdog of this season. Week after week he goes against all odds and proves it to the world that he deserves to be in this competition, and deserves to win. He is such a fighter, he wants it more then anything, and us fans are doing a GREAT job. Elliott, I hope you read this. We are so proud of you making it this far. Again, you are such an inspiration, and hope to see you at the finals!! Knock em dead!
The site is still underconstruction. More pictures have to be added to the gallery, and i'll get up to date on his MP3's. Thanks alot for being so patient everyone! Stay tuned.

Just wanted to wish you all a safe and happy Easter! A couple of blends, avatars and blinkes are up in the [Fan] section so go check those out!
Also, if there are any technical errors like broken/missing links, or anything wrong with this site, please let us know! We are doing our best to make this site perfect, so any additional help is appreciated.
Well that's it for today. 2 more days until Elliott sings. It's like a monumental event for me... can't wait!

Ok. I am SO sorry the site has been down for a day, but I just wanted to change the layout and make this site a lil bit better. As you can see, I get bored a bit looking at the same thing. So now im satisfied... and I hope you like it! :)
Well, as for updates go... more pictures have been added to the [Gallery]. The mp3 from Elliott's performance on April 11("Somebody to Love") has been added to the [Music] section. Also, the [Fans] section is a bit unfinished. If anyone would like to send in Elliott graphics (ie. avatars blends, blinkies, drawings, signatures, wallpaper etc.) please feel free to do so! Just email us, and they'll get posted. A few of our Elliott graphics will be posted in that section shortly.
Last but not least, I want to put in more direct links to news articles about Elliott. All of the articles about Elliott are great! The world can't get enough of him. So they will be posted here also. Slowly but surely this site will come together. Thanks for your support!

The results are in and Elliott is SAFE! The feeling is bittersweet though because Elliott was in the bottom 3 for reasons GOD can only know. Our response question was going to be "What is wrong with America", but the real question is "What is wrong with Elliott." Which is nothing of course, but for some reason people aren't voting. I mean I guess its not enough to be the best singer in the competition, or to be an inspiration to so many people. Isn't that what an American Idol is? Just makes me think.
But hey...Elliott is safe and thats all that matters. Next week we all know (including you ^_^) to vote like crazy as always to keep our boy in this thing til the end!

Update- Tonight Elliott sang Queens' "Somebody To Love". All we can say is that he owned the stage!! He treated us to a performance that was totally swoon worthy. He was so energetic and so fresh. He was a lil bit shaky at first, but towards the middle and end he made that song his own. His voice is so pure and so smooth it gave us chills! Check back tomorrow for the mp3! .

---------------------------------------------------
It is now 7:42pm and this site is officially, finally opened! Just in time before Elliott sings. Phew!
Well, hi! It's Cammi and Elise here who are the creators of this fansite. We decided about 5 days ago to create a fansite in honor of Elliott. We owe him that much! Everything was so rush rush because we wanted to get this ready by today. The site is a bit unfinished, but finished enough for it to be opened. Stay tuned because more photos, graphics and info will be added to each section soon! We will update later tonight on Elliott's performance. Now we are off to get ready to hear our man sing. Stay tuned!
| Site Info |
Who are we?
We are just two girls Cammi (who creates all content/graphics) and Elise (who creates the HTML) who decided to create a site in honor of Elliott.
Why did we create this site?
Well, it's about time someone with talent wins this competition. Not putting down the previous winners, but out of the current finalists, Elliott gets our vote. It's only once in a while you come across an artist who you completely fall in love with. Not because of the trivial things like their looks or style, but by their talent and heart, and spirit.
Site started: April 6, 2006
Site Opened: April 11, 2006
Version: #2 - up on April 15, 2006

| How you can support Elliott |
There's mainly one way we can support Elliott. Which is voting of course! Whether you throw a few votes his way, or vote for him the entire 2 hours (like us) just know that every single vote counts! So if you vote 10 times a night, or 1000 times a night, just know that 1 vote can make a difference! It's up to his fans to get him to the top. He's counting on us!
| Voting Tips |
1-- Do Not Split Your Votes! With millions of people voting, throwing a few votes to another contestant, just might keep that other contestant in the competition and get your favorite booted.
2-- You Don't Have To Listen To The Whole Recorded Message! The minute your vote connects and you hear the words THANK YOU, hang up and redial. It is not necessary to listen to the complete recorded message and you will lose valuable voting time.
3-- Begin Voting When The Final Contestant Begins To Sing! Contrary to what Ryan says, begin voting when the final contestant begins to perform. The phone lines are open during that point.
4-- Vote For The Full Two Hours! I realize this isn't possible for a lot of you; but other contestant's fans are voting for the full two hours and that makes the difference between which contestant stays and which is booted.
5-- Call from as many phone lines as you have! Get all the cell phones you can get from all your family members! And keep calling for the full two hours!! Call from as many land lines as you have, too!
6-- Make sure all phones in your house are fully charged! Make sure that your phone are in their cradles, charging. You don't want your phones to run out of juice while voting.
