Congrats to Elliott who now has a Gold single and a Gold CD.
Congrats to the other Idols too.
I heard Fantasia’s CD w/ Retha one time and afterward thought, their voices just do NOT blend. Aretha’s is so smoothe, and Fantasia’s sounded so rough. Didn’t do it for me.
That little gold circle does look lovely. How can Kimberly Locke get such great radio play and sell so few albums? It’s crazee.
Yes, that little gold circle is nice, indeed. Elliott apparently thinks so, too, as evident in that photo. LOL
Congratulations, Elliott!
I am really happy for Elliott’s success and love the way he’s looking - very cute! Congratulations, Elliott!
Of all the Top Ten women, it does not surprise me that Fantasia does not interact well with Aretha on disk. Someone else would have done better, I’m sure.
Good to read the news about Clay singing at the Neil Sedaka event. I wonder if it will be televised?
