Elliott Yamin sings “Rock Around The Clock at the Competencia Internacional in Viña del Mar, Chile.

Competencia Internacional is the largest music festival in Chile and is broadcast live across the country. Notice the lyrics beamed on large screen behind him. Pretty random song choice, there Elliott.

    I think it’s cute. Can’t help but think about Potsie and Fonzie combing their hair in the mirror when I hear it.

    It’s hard to imagine how terrified Ellott looked when he first took the idol stage when you see him now. I’ll always love him. He’s real, down to earth and treats his fans like long lost buddies. I hope somehow, someway, someday his fabulous music gets the recognition it deserves.

  • MY IDOL ELLIOTT

    HI Yall, I’m a very close & great friend of Elliott Yamin!!!! I’ve been a friend of his for 3 1/2 years now . Elliott is soooo humble & very down to earth & funny guy!!!! Elliott gives before he takes. Elliott always will give an autograph to everyone & he loves to give alot of huge hugs too!!!! Elliott’s the greatest guy in the world!!!! Elliotts always in a positive mood!!!! Elliott is like a Brother to me!!!! Elliott has changed my life in soooo many differant ways!!!! I wanted to be on American Idol, but back in the day from 1986 to 1990 when I went to High School they didn’t have American Idol on TV. So for that reason I think I live through Elliott because I wanted to become a singer & song writer & for me following & taking this journey with our Funky White Boy Elliott is soooo exciting for me!!!! I also wanted to go to the school for the performing arts like Fame, but I never did. Elliott & I have soooo much in common!!!! Elliott becoming a singer / song writer was a God sent & a miracle come true!!!! I’m really very PROUD of all Elliott has done & will do in is music career!!!! Alot of times I cry like a baby tears of joy when I read about Elliott or listen to any of his music!!!! Elliott was sent from up above at the last moment to be on American Idol because is Elliott would of waited 1 year longer he would of been to old to be on American Idol. 2006 American Idol season 5 will go down as the greatest season of American Idol in American Idol history!!!! I think season 5 also had one of the best TV rating ever with over 60 million viewers!!!! These passed 2 weeks are some of the best 2 weeks ever in Elliotts life!!!! Elliott & Kara going to Angola Africa & raising $100,000 with Exxon Mobile & handing out nets was incredible. Then Elliott gos to Chile for the very first time. He’s performing in the International Singing Compitition at the 2010 Del Mar Music Festival!!!! This little guy on this huge stage with a very huge R & B smooth raw powerful voice!!!! On Tuesday 2/23/10 Elliott’s first performance of “Rock Arond The Clock” was PHENOMENAL & INCREDIBLE!!!! Elliott up there on that huge stage lookin brilliant with that watching gray vest, gray pants & gray Converse shoes!!!! He also looked soooo great wearing his Fedora hat!!!! His dancing was soooo brilliant too!!!! Elliott’s voice was incredible & Emazin!!!! Overall it was the best performace of a life time & the best performance of the night!!!! I know Elliott will go all the way to the finals & WIN & bring home the “Chilean Bacon” to the U.S.!!!! All Elliott’s performances in this siging compitition will be the best ever!!!! Elliott’s also soooo excited because this is his first time ever in Chile!!!! Elliott alway’s sing like YAMIN it!!!! Thank you very much for everyone that’s supporting and seeing Elliott perform at this great festival!!!! I think this is one of the hugest crowds Elliott has ever perfomed for!!!! Elliott never ever missed a word of “Rock Around The Clock”!!!! I know Elliott can sing anything & everything now matter what the song is!!!!

  • MY IDOL ELLIOTT

    HI Yall, I forgot to say after Elliott was on 2006 American Idol Elliott’s learned to become very relaxed & more confidence up on the stage in front of big crowds & after he got his teeth fixed Elliott smiles alot more now & has alot more confidence in himself!!!! After American Idol till now I can see a big differance in Elliott!!!! Elliott’s like a whole new person now!!!!

    By the way, Elliott has advanced through two rounds of this competition, getting good audience responses and votes, so he now gets to sing Rock Around the Clock a *third* time.

    Maybe they should do Idol this way — “Here is your song; now sing it over and over again until we decide we don’t like it any more!” lol. Kinda strange. But, nevertheless, Elliott is pleasing the Chileans so far.

    Here’s the video of the announcement of the five (?) semifinalists:

    Yep. You could see that he didn’t catch “Estados Unidos” and the others all knew before he did that he’d made it. Funny. Keep rocking, Elliott!

    There was an 8.3 magnitude earthquake in Chile a while ago and Elliott, who is still there, was tweeting about it.

    The last I heard Elliott is trying to get to an airport for a flight out. He is talking about the after shocks.

    I would imagine Elliott will be part of the Idol Gives Back show in April. I am sure funds will be raised with the possibility that he will be going back to Chile. How many people who are involved in fundraisers have actually been in the horror of the event?

    Prayers for all affected by the earthquake.
