I am so hoping the right person picks up Eliot. He could become very very successful if he gets the right management, right songs, right producer, etc etc. The talent is there without a doubt.
He has a good niche waiting for him. Personality wise, he has that "cool hep cat" thing working for him combined with unassuming modesty and genuine niceness. Plus, how he handled himseld when called up to the bottom 3!!! Putting his arms around both women to say, "it's okay", clapping hard for Paris when she was told to sit down. saying a prayer with Mandisa then hugging her and telling her he loved her when she was announced as the loser for that week.
That's called class.
He will be off the show in the next two weeks but I hope I get the chance to see him and tell him how impressed people are by him as a singer and as a man. 90% deafness in one ear and he sounds that good????? No formal training????
