Paula Abdul takes credit for Elliott's success

by Anna Johns, posted May 14th 2006 3:52PM

paula abdul; elliott yaminAmerican Idol judge Paula Abdul is patting herself on the back for Elliott Yamin's sudden success on the show. She told Teen People magazine, "I feel like I changed the face of the competition by making America wake up and see the talent that Elliott possesses." Um, I think somebody is drunk with power (hey! maybe that's her problem!). At this point in the game, the judges have zero influence over the competition. We all have eyes and ears and can see that Elliott finally 'brought it' to the stage.

Paula happens to be RIGHT about Elliott's voice! He is amazing. He has been my pick since the beginning. People's heads are turned by flashy goofy dancing, hard rock, pretty faces and fluff. Wake up America !!! Elliott is a true natual talent. He can be the next American Idol. I would never deny the fact that Chis, Kat or Taylor are extremely talented. If it were possible for them all to win it would be gwonderful.... BUT that is not the way it goes. Don't just write someone off because He is not the pretty face.. when you listen and I mean REALLY listen you will see.

This week they will be singing 3 songs:

Judges choice
Contestant's choice
Clive's choice


The judges' song choices:

Randy: You Are So Beautiful (Taylor)
Simon: Over The Rainbow (Katherine)
Paula: What You Won't Do For Love (Elliot)

Just wondering if Paula isn't giving Elliot a message with her song choice:

I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you
And I can't let go

Interesting lyrics given her history.

Anyone know of some Idol cartoon knockoffs? I just found one that’s really funny… but I can’t find any others.

So does she seem to think that we really pay attention to who she likes and doesn't like on the show?
