Does anybody who comes here ever watch the national guilty pleasure "American Idol"? Shawn and I have watched every season. Do you remember the underdog redhead with a goofy smile from Season 5, Elliott Yamin who placed third? I sure do. His soulful and smooth vocals resembling Stevie Wonder were my favorite. He went to the correct route by releasing an album from an independent label and did very well with it. He is coming to Tokyo to perform at our favorite venue "Billboard Live" at the end of August, and we got tickets for a sofa seating for two overlooking the stage. I am so looking forward to seeing him and hearing him perform! If you haven't heard his singing, I recommend his smash hit "Wait for You" and funky fresh "Moving On" on iTunes.
