Elliott Yamin Talks American Idol, Paula Abdul and Health
Elliott Yamin has only good things to say about American Idol, really, even if he is honest about Paula Abdul (l love Elliott for that - just tell the truth!). Here’s what I read on Reality Blurred :
“I don’t have anything to do with that show anymore. That was two years ago,” he Elliott tells Parade magazine. Still, he has no hard feelings. “They treated us great. They’re great people, all of them.”
They’re so great, he has nice things to say about the show’s judges—except Paula, who he compliments while saying she’s slightly crazy. “Simon’s a nice guy, he’s a good guy. Paula’s a little nuts but she’s great, and Randy’s a sweet, really cool guy,” he said.
In the interview, Elliott also talks about living with diabetes and being partially deaf, and he’s using his experiences for good. “I made a point of that from the very beginning that I was going to use my platform to do some good things and to do some better—whether it’s people with diabetes or cancer patients. It’s just such a simple thing to give to people. It’s just the right thing to do. Things can always be worse, and I always look at that,” he said. It’s just important for me to spread my cheer and spread positivity around and help people. I come from a family with big hearts, so I love to put smiles on people’s faces. It’s one thing to do concerts, but going to hospitals to meet kids who are sick makes it all worthwhile for me.”

Elliot Yamin should be saying only nice things about Paula, unless he is completely ungrateful. he has her to thank for his career. she was the one who believed in him, Simon turned him down..

What?? - I didn’t write that. It says “This is what I read on Reality Blurred.” Reality Blurred wrote the “except Paula” thing.
