A Star is Born

Elliott Yamin brought the house down with his stirring rendition of Leon Russell's "A Song For You", via Donny Hathaway's style, on this past Tuesday night's "American Idol." This was the performance that we've been waiting for from this humble soul with the toothy grin and a voice that melts like butter. A passionate and bold connection to those lyrics coupled with an ever-growing confidence and improved stage presence was a defining moment for him and for that show's history. It's not often that the birth of a star happens right before our eyes on live television.

No matter who may walk away with the crown this season, this extraordinary young man has a bright future.

I'm proud to be a full-fledged Yaminion!
