The Storm?[edit]

Elliott Yamin sang "The Storm" with Big Planz on the album "The Storm" which was released on Itunes on January 27, 2007. Out of the 6 tracks on the album 4 of them are different mixes of "The Storm". Profits go to the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund and I think a juvinille diabitees research fund as well. I think this should be added if anyone can get the download popularity and charity details. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mywebsite1234000 (talk • contribs) 23:19, 10 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Blue eyed soul?[edit]

Elliott considers himself a soul/R&B singer, so should he be considered "blue eyed soul"? 216.79.251.145 02:48, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Even Rod Stewart said that Elliott was a "blue eyed soul". Va girl2468 02:14, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, let's see if I can settle all these questions for you. According to an article posted here[1], he is indeed Jewish, not Muslim. According to Ancestry.com records, his full name is "Efraym Elliott Yamin" - his mother's maiden name is "Goldberg". I'll update the article... Mad Jack O'Lantern 05:07, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well done Mad Jack O'Lantern for finally putting to rest the nonsense about his religion. I found it hilarious that people were saying he was jewish while others were saying he was muslim. Talk about your personal struggles, he'd be trying to kill himself all the time. Batman2005 16:50, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, well I suppose so... :) Mad Jack O'Lantern 18:38, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Elliott's name keeps getting taken off of the "Blue eyed soul" singers list. Why?!?!?! TamYum 03:49, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It was being done by one IP user I warned after he/she kept reverting my edits, eventually leaving a nasty note on my talk page on how I could not tell him/her what to do. I refuted these claims with policy and never heard from this user again... Michael 07:57, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Media bias[edit]

These two sites say that the show/media is biased against ELliott (not in TV guide idol showcase, judges leave his name out on talk shows, etc.), guess it deserves a section

Elliott Yamin Impersonator[edit]

If User:Elliottyamin is not Mr. Yamin, could someone please stop him or her from impersonating a real person? Dubious, because this user only adds or removes external links to the page.

User:Bucky Covington has been blocked indefinitely, although he never updated a page relating to American Idol, and was blocked because of the username similarity. —Chantessy 21:31, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Notable Wikipedian[edit]

Since there's no proof that User:elliottyamin is actually our E-Dub, I've commented out the template. We don't want to get people excited. ... discospinster _talk 18:43, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed... Michael 07:57, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Proseline tag for After Idol section[edit]

I removed the proseline tag from the After Idol section. Items have been combined or expanded as needed, moved to appropriate sections in the article, and irrelevent information removed. Kayeloh (talk) 00:56, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

deaf?[edit]

I see a category that implies that he is deaf -- but no mention of it in the article. I googled it, and it seems he is partially deaf in one ear -- does this really mean the category applies? --Quasipalm (talk) 01:07, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
