I don't want to get too enthusiastic after just the first week, but Elliott is definitely shaping up to be my favourite this season.
I need to hear more, but think that I could easily end up agreeing with Simon's assessment.

Good voice (maybe one of the best), but his looks and personality just don't speak "American Idol" to me.
Let me put it like this- I do not get turned on by Stevie Wonder songs- EVER. Until now. He gave me goosebumps! He is my future ex-husband, hands down!
This guy is really good. Can't wait for him to sing on tonights episode.
I've been listening his rendition of "If you really love me" and I like him more and more. Damn, this guy is good! He has such a rich tone to his voice and almost perfect pitch. And since he's not a typical poster boy, you can identify with him. Can't wait to hear what he's gonna do next.
Do we really want style over substance?Quote:

Is it just me or does this guy look he just came from a) the Hutterite colony b) the Mennonite colony or c) the Amish settlement? Picture him with black pants, suspenders, a black long sleeve shirt and a black wide brim hat... I defy anyone to say otherwise...
I love his voice and could care less what he looks like.Quote:

The guy's got great range and incredible voice control. Its hard as heck not to go falsetto in any stevie wonder song. Notice, he didn't go falsetto once! He voice just basically glides over the high and low notes with no hint of shallowness. His voice is so rich and resonant through all the notes, without a HINT of strain. Its crazy. Its the type of voice that you're born with and something you can't teach. Simon was right (as he usually is) last week when he said this guy could potentially be the best male vocalist they've had on the show. I'm not at all concerned whether he can sing "other types of songs" like Simon indicates. He's a natural. And with a voice naturally that good, you can sing pretty much anything well.
