Virginia’s American Idol
Brian May 17th, 2006
The AP/WDBJ has this:
“American Idol” finalist Elliott Yamin’s return to his hometown of Richmond today included a meeting with Governor Tim Kaine at the executive mansion. Kaine clapped and grinned as Yamin hopped out of his stretch limo through the window and greeted the governor’s staff. Yamin hugged Kaine and said, “I feel like the luckiest person alive.”
Inside the mansion, Kaine presented Yamin with a T-shirt that read, “Virginia is for Elliott Lovers.” He also gave him one to help butter up the show’s most cantankerous judge. It read: “Virginia is for Simon Lovers.”
The video here also has shows Yamin meeting with former Governor Doug Wilder.
So the lesson here is one has to be a good singer to hang out with people like Kaine and Wilder. Although Jayne, an avid “Idol” watcher, just told me that Yamin was voted off the show tonight.
