Eliott Yamin is the perfect example of the saying DO NOT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER.
He has a refreshing motown sound thats very radio friendly, its pure, clear and vibrant. I mean he handled the tempo changes, stops and starts to Stevie Wonder's song "IF YOU REALLY LOVE ME", effortlessly and gave it some of his own flair. Now that's definitely NOT karaoke in my book.
His looks reminds me of the Faun, Mr. Tumnus of the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe ( you know, the Chronicles of Narnia ). He needs a dental makeover but it would be a big mistake to do that.
If Taylors white hair is what distinghishes him, Eliotts dentures will be the one that makes him stand out in the face of the pretty boys and girls.
He is one smart guy for toning down Simon's effusive praise when he said he has one of the best voices in 5 idol competitions. Eliott added the word -- POTENTIALLY -- which makes him look humble. Definitely a plus in this competition.
Can anyone tell me what ethnicity the family name -- YAMIN is ? Sounds Semitic to me.
Yamin looks like all the Amish guys down at our Farmer's Market.
Is he from Pennsylvania?
