In case you missed it, you don't get it, you don't want to wait until it shows on your station, or you want to see it again (or any other reason :) ), here is my edit of the Top 6 show. I messed up by editing out Elliott's last sentence about Kellie Pickler :( .

Thank you so much OFE. Still brings tears and loved seeing the finger-pull again. How far he's come in self-confidence. Great to see.

Thanks OFE, the schedule has been messed up here or something.

Can someone tell me when and where this show comes on?

Lu, you have to check your local listings. It comes on Fox, TV Guide channel, etc. different times for where ever you are I believe. I mean some people maybe seeing the Top 6 and others could be seeing Top 7, etc. I know the Boston audition came on for me and LA before it came on in Richmond.

Thanks girlfriend... will check my local listings. I want to relive my fave season of all time!!!

ETA: okay. Chris Daughtry special tonight. Top 6 is on Friday. Will there be an special for Elliott or did I miss it? Please tell me I didn't miss it!!

Lu,

You can check on AOL. This link might give my local provider, but all you have to do is click in the bottom right corner : Change Location/Provider and enter your location and your cable company:

Thanks Mar,
I got home late and only caught the last half of the show, so I had missed Elliott.

"You" are the bomb, for capturing these for us.

I will never forget that moment as long as I live. I was sitting in a hotel room in Washington, DC when this ep of Season 5 was first broadcast. I was so moved (like Paula) that I cried the whole performance. I wasn't crying just for the beauty of it but for also the fact that this amazing person was living his dream and he just killed it up on stage and KNEW that it was the just the beginning.

I cried again watching it this weekend. I'm so happy I got to experience the whole season again (and without the worry!).

Yes, it was certainly one of those moments that I will never forget. I was standing in my living room, watching with my son, who was sitting there with a smirk on hi face. I started to walk to the couch, when I heard THAT VOICE. It was like a physical assault. I literally stopped in my tracks, looked at my son and said"if you say 1 word, I will kill you". when it was over, i looked over at him, now grinning, as he said"wow that was awesome"
To this day, that is my favorite performance of all time!

I love being able to see the performances again. I didn't cry this time with Paula, but I came close. What struck me this time around, is that Simon actually put his hands together and clapped for Elliott. I don't recall ever seeing him do that for one of the contestants, but then again, I'm not one for paying attention, so he probably has-- but not often.

Here's an added bonus for anyone who is interested:

Thanks Kathy. You did that!!!! Loved the video.

Very nice. Thank you, PoorMe.

That performance...is so much a part of us. :wub:

HI Yall, Yes Mona I 110% agree with you. This Song & performance is soooo much a part of us!!!! "A Song For You" is the song that got Elliott through all his American Idol auditions & became his signuture song!!!! Elliott performed this song on American Idol incredible!!!! In January 2010 on Elliott's Acoustic Concert Tour Elliott performed an incredible version of "A Song For You" Acapella!!!! http://www.youtube.com?v=sfnUAiVMaE

Thanks so much onlyforelliott and PoorMe!!!

Every second of that performance is so precious... :awe:

btw ahhhhhh.I.miss.Paula.

Couldn't get through it without the tears flowing. Thanks OFE!!! :goodpost:

It looks like the ones that are already posted are going to have to hold us for week after week now until we eventually get to the Top 4. I was so looking forward to Top 4 this weekend only to learn that they're starting back at 10 and counting down again. That's not good for my impatient self but I guess it's good for Elliott as more people will catch episodes and at least some of them are bound to get hooked.

I can't believe I finally caught an episode of Idol Rewind Season 5 - I Don't Wanna Be. I had forgotten how the crowd went absolutely WILD for Elliott - and it was so nice to see Claudette and sister Jodi enjoying the show. It only comes on sporadically here, and rarely when the guide says it will :-)

Linda - Did Elliott talk at all during this episode? Wasn't I Don't Wanna Be the "Funky White Boy" episode? lol

The most amazing part of that story Chloe...is that you walked to the couch without getting lost! No seriously...I remember being away on a business trip in Orlando and we were at one of those interminable business dinners that are required...I kept looking at my watch because I was dying to get back to the hotel to watch AI...and when I got back to my room...it was too late. I had missed Elliott. I started calling everyone I knew...(didn't know any etrainers at the time!) and they were like..."Did you see it? He was amazing!!" I was so pissed off...I ordered two big ass desserts and submitted the bill to my company. A few days later...I finally got to see the clip. It was definitely one of those..."Close your mouth! You look like you are missing a chromosome!" moments

:rotfl:

Yeah Lu - this was where Paula named him "Funky White Boy" and Simon said his dancing was hideous....He talked a little before his performance.

Does anyone know where/when we can watch Rewind in Massachusetts? MYTV has had it on at 3pm on Sunday's but today they had a hockey game instead, 2 weeks ago they had some other stupid show. It's very annoying. I'm not sure if they've cancelled it altogether this time or what. Anyone have a clue?

HI Yall, Heres one of the most incredible acappella verisions of "A Song For You" Elliott performed on his 2010 acoustic concert tour this past January. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4Jqelan-_M I don't know why these links don't work. Go to Youtube and watch these incredible acappella versions of "A Song For You" like YAMIN it!!!!

OK - I FINALLY got to see this episode here today - boy... it was so GREAT to see that - the confidence building in Elliott and the judges' confidence in him .....

He IS still that awesome. Hope he still knows it!

i think it's rebroadcast tonight at 10 here. i sure hope so. I've been taping them!!!

Thanks for this download, OFE - man, that brings back memories!

One question: Anyone know who these Etrainers are?

Still moves me after all this time, I remember how nervous I was for him and how relieved after the performance-awesome, just awesome
