Hey everybody! I'm so glad ya'll are feeling my version of "This Christmas"! As you know it is already streaming on AOL, and should be available for purchase on iTunes today! Just wanted to make sure my fans had a chance to vibe with it 1ST!...In case you haven't noticed, there is also a short video of the making of "This Christmas" in the studio on my profile page..The concoction of talent used to build this song was incredible! DJ Lethal...my man Ollie layed down the bass....one of the sickeest pianists I've seen-Eli...live horns and guitar...and to top it all off, we were blessed w/the live drum track from an old school legend by the name of James Gatson...He was Bill Withers' drummer back in the day!!(check out his live @carnigie hall album-just 1 of my personal favorites!)...I will also be featured in the latest issue of People Magazine, which I believe should be hitting the newstands today as well! I'm so grateful for your patience and support....and elated to finally be able to release some music to the masses! Trust me when I say that this is only the beginning of greater things yet to come! I'm just as hungry as you are, and that's why I've been so busy writing w/some top notch katz for the album! There are tons of great things on the horizon for me right now and I truly can't wait to share all the news w/ya'll! I'm very blessed.....and so are you!.....Stay tuned for the scoop on where I'll be on Christmas day!

The song is beautiful Elliott!!!  Your vocal presence is so commanding, yet smooth.  I always love how you soar effortlessly into your upper range.  The piano interlude is gorgeous, gives it a real seasonal character and a classy and elegant drive to the rhythm.  Saw ya on Extra too - ya look great kid!  I'm so excited for you!  Bravo!

xo...Rian G.

LOVE the song E!! You've finally gotten me into the Holiday mood. If anyone can, it was you. Can't wait to pick up my People and add it to my collection (Richmond mags). The Extra piece was great and you're looking well. Thanks so much for keeping us in the loop, we feel like we're fellow travelers on your journey.

Elliott,

I thought you looked terrific on "Extra" and can see how happy the new smile makes you -- if you're happy, I'm happy too!!

Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to send out these blog and bulletin updates to your "friends." It means so much to hear from you. The song, the video, your "Extra" appearance, your People article -- it's like you took YOUR gift, wrapped it in a beautiful ribbon, and presented it to us. So again, thank you!

Yay!  It has been a wonderful couple of days...first "This Christmas" which is absolutely amazing.  Then EXTRA...looking good, as always.  And now People...can't wait for my issue...better yet, I'll probably go buy one today and have 2.  lol

And I'm waiting patiently for the scoop about Christmas Day. 

I'm glad to see you having fun in the studio...I've been in one once, and it is an awesome experience!  Happy Holidays!

Hi Elliot,

How come I can't add your song to my profile, I'm trying to add a song for you. I really want the Idol version of Moody's Mood but can't find it on myspace :(

This Christmas is nice, I don't celebrate it though so I need something else to put on my page!

Love you Elliot I can not wait to hear some new music.

Elliott---Thanks for the heads up on "This Christmas!" The recording is everything it should be -- snappy, bright, and destined to find a prominent position on the Christmas Classics shelf. Thanks for your hard work and good, musical sense.

If all goes as expected, 2007 will be a very exciting year for you and your family. This could and should be the start of something big. All best wishes.  

One bit of motherly advice: Remember, you're in this business because YOU want to be. Yes, you need professional guidance from managers and publicity folk and producers. But, the raw ingredients -- your innate musical ability, and your warm and honest self -- have taken you far, wouldn't you say? Don't be swayed by those who want to mold you into something you're not. You really don't need extreme makeovers of your appearance, your voice, or your destiny to suit anyone else (except maybe your own mother!).

Proud to be a Yaminion.

I really like "This Christmas" and the fact that it contains drumming from James Gatson is icing on the cake.   Thank you so much for the updates.  You are such an inspiration to so many people (myself included) and deserving of every bit of success that comes your way.

Many blessings!
