Elliott Gets the Last Word
| The LA Times Idol Tracker has a very complete interview/recap of Elliott's experiences in Chile with the music festival and the earthquake. Elliott, as usual, is very frank: I had a couple of meltdowns. In the very beginning, I kind of lost it. I called my brother, who deserves a shout-out because a lot of the news agencies were reaching him first. I was just in tears. I couldn't keep it together -- my chest was caved in, I felt like my blood pressure was through the roof and I couldn’t breathe right. I knew it was from the nerves and what I had just been through; it just messed me up. The article is well-worth the read, and there are additional pictures on the website. Find it here. |  |

Another Fight for Love Review
I've lost count of how many reviews we've posted of the album Fight for Love. This is a new one from Random J Pop, apparently prompted by the leak of Torn Down. It's a very good review: Something that is immediately obvious when you hear songs on this album is that Elliott can sing. He has a great tone to his voice, and a hoarseness which gives his voice a quality that makes you believe he's gone through it - enabling you to believe in what he's singing. The brilliant thing about this album however is that Elliott has been given a bunch of songs to match his vocals. His debut was decent enough, but it was boring because the songs on the whole didn't give him a great deal to work with. This time around Elliott has a collection of stand out songs, each one catchier than the last; putting his vocals to great use. Read the entire review here.
