Why ain't you a star yet girl???? I found you on some weird sims site and had to hear more of you, (did a google search) I was thinking you would come up as a stage singer (and was hoping you had a cd I could buy) but instead I found your profile on my space. I feel like an internet stalker now!!!! LOL.... Get famous so I buy a cd from you and not feel like a stalker no more!!! Best of luck to you.

*blushes* oh gosh :)) hehe James.. you are really sweet, and I am floored by these incredibly flattering and complimentary comments! I just always try to let the music come through me and always emote the music in my performance as much as I can. Music to me, is all about feeling and without that, doesn't reach is full potency and potential. Thank you so much!! :)) *hug* ~EJ 08/05/2007 09:51

Elisha: I first heard you on Singshot.com. You are one of my "favorites" But, where have you been on Singshot? I'd love to hear from you. I'm Kristen from Seattle. My Singshot Member ID is: krisvashon. Hope to hear you wonderful voice back on Singshot soon. By the way, why are you not trying out for Amerian Idol? Your voice is as good or better than most of the contestants. Hope to hear from you via MESSAGE on Singshot.com 08/01/2007 22:09
oh wow :)) It's so awesome to see you over here Kristen! The truth of the matter is, that I have been spending so much time on other sites, I haven't really been back to Singshot in a long time! I wish I could keep up with all of these sites! I'll try to come back sometime soon and do something new when I get the chance.. I just remember that their recorder always gave me some trouble and took a lot of takes to get one to go through. Anyhow, thank you so much for the extremely kind words!! Ohh and I did try the American Idol thing.. you'd be surprised how that show really works.. it was worth trying, but I just wasn't what they were looking for. Thanks so much again! ~EJ 08/05/2007 09:35
Hey there Joe! my goodness that is such a kind thing to say.. especially with the range of incredibly talented people in this thing. It means the world to me that you would count me among your favorites and I think Melissa is an incredible singer to have as a favorite. She has an amazing voice and is a wonderful person to boot! Thank you so much for your well wishes and kind words! ~EJ 08/01/2007 13:38
wow.. ty so much for the extremely kind words! :)) I really toiled with the song choice in this thing, but I figured this one showed off more of my strengths than the others, and I also just love the messege of it! I'm so happy to know you think it works for me and I thank you again for the nice comments! :)) ~EJ 08/01/2007 13:35
*hugs* Amanda :)) You are such a sweetheart and an incredible country singer to boot. I think you have one of the best traditional country sounds I have heard on this place, and I think you are definitely destined for great things.. You are a beautiful and talented girl who has a lot to offer, and who I am glad to have met. Thank you so much, and here's wishing you the best as we come to the end of this part of the contest journey!! xoxoxo ~EJ 08/01/2007 13:34
Isn't it amazing what a cheap desk lamp, floor lamp, and black sheet will do? lol And thanks for the kind words on my makeup.. it's a hobby of mine, so I really like playing around with different looks! Thank you kindly for the wonderful comments :)) *hug* ~EJ 08/01/2007 13:32

You are wonderful! Thank you so much for the vote of confidence and sweet comments :) All my very best to you! *hug* ~EJ 08/01/2007 13:28
Hey Elisha! Your passion for music and singing sure does shine here, Elisha! You are so deserving to be in the Final Top 10 going to Nashville! Nik says Hi!

Good Luck, Girl! God Bless You, Always! Shawn and Nikki 07/27/2007 21:44
Hey you guys!! :)) you know what?.. you have to be about the sweetest people in this thing.

I just came back to say I really love your voice and how you make every song your own because of the unique quality you have. I also appreciate the versatility you have. Listening to this song, I wouldn't expect you to hit those high notes on Ave Maria the way you do, and yet there you are. I think you have a rare gift. 07/27/2007 10:11
wow.. those are incredible generous remarks, and I am so appreciative and grateful for them!! I really and truly just love music so much that I can't imagine my life without it.. thank you for helping me to keep moving forward with such encouraging and motivating comments! :) ~EJ 08/01/2007 13:18
Elisha, One of my all time favorites is Wynonna, something about the way you present a song reminds me of her. However, you have a very distinct sound of your own. This is really great! 07/26/2007 22:17
wow.. that's such an incredible compliment! I just love her and think the world of her as an artist :)) Thank you so very much, and I wish you all the best as we near the end of this part of our contest journey. You are very talented and I very much admire your "stage presence" and ability to really perform a song! *hug* ~EJ 08/01/2007 13:14
Elisha, I'm not even a fan of country music, but I think you sound great!...and you're gorgeous too!...WOW! I wish you all the best.Louis 07/26/2007 17:34
Hi there Louis! :)) wow.. thank you so much for the really kind words! You should give country a try! It's really a very versatile genre with a lot of sub genres in it... everything ranging from the down home bluegrass, to more rock country and pop country. I bet you'd find some stuff you'd love! :)) Thanks again for the well wishes and warm remarks! ~EJ 07/27/2007 22:08
Luv this video,you look so pretty, great performance,your a star, i keep coming back and listen to your performance over and over again,your awesome......Linda......... 07/26/2007 06:05

Hey Brodie! :)) we're almost there man!! I sure hope you are going to Nashville.. you're definitely in my top 10 and I think you are so deserving of a big break. All my very best to you, and thank you for always being there to support me. You are very kind and I thank you for the always sweet comments! *big hug* ~EJ 07/27/2007 21:53
Josie!! *squish* :)) I'm really glad to see you back.. you always manage to brighten my day when I see a messege from you! Thanks for being so supportive!! ~EJ 07/27/2007 21:52
haha :) Thanks so much girl! It's not "just" how I wanted it, but I was afraid to try anymore and kill my voice after a week of hard singing. I'm really glad you liked it and I am so appreciative of your support and kindness! ~EJ 07/27/2007 21:43
You have an awesome voice! You sound just like LeAnn Rimes when you sing! You look and sound like a pro when you're singing. Good luck!
~*Macy*~ 07/19/2007 13:59
well Hi there Macy! Goodness.. I'll definitely take all that as a compliment, as Leann is such an incredible singer :) Thank you for the extremely kind complimentary comments! I'm so happy you liked my version and appreciate your well wishes! :) ~EJ 07/22/2007 12:05
WOW -Talk about great video and performance!! You look so beautiful, hip and sound awesome girl!! You really shine with this entry!! God Bless :) Stephanie Reid 07/19/2007 09:30
*I* look beautiful?? Good golly girl, you are just SO dang gorgeous!! I think you have one of the most creative and best looking videos of us all, not to mention a sweet as honey voice! I think you have an awesome chance to be one of the lucky 10 and I wish you all the best! Thank you so very much for your sweet words! *blessings to you* :) ~EJ 07/22/2007 12:04

well thank ya kindly sweetie! I definitely try to give my all whenever I sing, as it is truly my passion and I just can't help myself! TYSM :) ~EJ 07/22/2007 12:02
Elisha...I am always amazed at the genre of music you ace everytime.
POP, Country, Rock....Broadway you can sing anything.
Wonderful video..and vocals as always. Your on the top of my list. Don't forget us "pee-on's" when you hit the airwaves and big time.
LOL
GOOD LUCK LADY...HARMONEE 07/15/2007 16:23
aww :) hehe.. you are too sweet harmonee! Thank you for saying that, and it definitely means a lot to me!! I just love music so much, and so many different styles that I can't help myself but to try to express myself in them! You are certainly not a "pee on" lol and I could never ever forget the kindess and encouragement that people like you have shown me. I'm honored to be at the top of your list.. especially with such incredible competition. Thank you so So much girl!! :)) *hugs* ~EJ 07/22/2007 11:56
Awesome, powerful voice! You had a little trouble later in the song with a few notes and seemed to get tired vocally, which concerned me. You do have a powerhouse of a voice though and really sold the song...good job! 07/14/2007 21:28
Hey GFB! Yeah.. this song is pretty taxing, and I'll admit, that I had a 6 hour gig before I recorded this that kinda wore me out vocally. We had a deadline to get this video in, though, and I did what I could to warm myself up and make the most out of what voice I had at the time. Thanks so much for offering your honest opinions in a constructive way! ~EJ 07/22/2007 11:53
Hello my friend! :)) aww.. thank you so much!! You are such a cool person and wonderful singer, and it feels so good to have your support!! *hugs* ~EJ 07/22/2007 11:51
aww :) hehe.. you are really sweet. Thank you so much for the kind words and support! and.. OMG! I LOVE the Muppets. I mean REALLY love haha. I love the muppet show, the movies, and other shows like Fraggle Rock (I have the whole first season of that show on dvds). I know just about all the songs from the movies and Labyrinth will always be a fav of mine as well. (Am I pathetic or what? lol). So "I'll just keep Movin' Right Along" to search for my own "Rainbow Connection" and if by chance this contest isn't meant for me, "I Hope That Something Better Comes Along" lol (yes I'm a muppet dork!) Thanks again :) ~EJ 07/15/2007 12:54
Elisha, wow, what can I say to convey just how amazing I think you are. You have a beautiful voice, and I love how you put your entire heart and soul into the song. There are no words to describe how talented you really are!! And on top of all of that, you are totally gorgeous!! I am so envious, lol!! You have to be one of the prettiest women I have seen in a while! Good luck to you! *hugs* XOXO, Karen :) 07/13/2007 23:16
Hey Karen! *hugs* geez girl :)) you are WAY too sweet to me! gosh.. you make me blush and I feel pretty unworthy for such kind comments! Whether I be worthy or not, I am totally grateful and humbled.. You are a sweetheart! Ty so much :)) ~EJ 07/15/2007 12:48
Fantastic Elisha, just fantastic. I’m now a fan and probably one of your older ones, I’m 55. Your voice is so powerful that I think you may have even overpowered the microphone towards the end. You are not only beautiful but also a great singing talent, so never quit, never question whether you have talent or not…because you absolutely do and it’s a talent that will make me go out and buy your CD’s. In addition, I can’t wait to see a full-fledged music video to go along with your first CD, your eyes and that smile just melts my heart. 07/13/2007 21:09
Oh wow.. I don't know what to say! You floor me with your generous and extremely complimentary comments! 50 smifty.. you're not old! :) And I guarentee you my oldest fan is in her 80's (my grandmother hehe). I can't thank you enough for your uplifting and inspiringly kind words to me. It's comments like yours that push me to do better and keep reaching for my dreams :)) ty ty ty! ~EJ 07/15/2007 12:45
omg.. LOL! I don't blame you for the coin toss.. I had to do it a few times myself to tell you the truth. There are just so many great people in this, I definitely had a hard time.. I'm honored to find myself on your list and thank you so much! (thanks to your coin too lol) ~EJ 07/15/2007 12:43
Thanks Preston.. that really means a lot to me coming from you! I do let it worry me sometimes, but not enough to deter me from my passion. I'll keep going no matter what the obstacle until I reach where God wants me to be! You are a super sweet guy and an incredible talent, and I think you have a great future ahead of you. All my best, and thank you again so much! *hugs* ~EJ 07/15/2007 12:41
It SURE is!! All of these people are talented and the cool thing is that we are all so diverse at the same time. I'm honored to be among them! thanks! ~EJ 07/15/2007 12:40
oh my.. that's waaay too kind! Especially with so many talented people in just this thing alone. I don't know what to say except that i'm truly humbled and grateful to your kindness.. TY so much!! :) ~EJ 07/15/2007 12:39
You are in VA Beach?? Oh.. that's just too cool! I actually went to high school in VB :)) I also spend a few years in elementary school living in Norfolk (Navy brat). I haven't been back there in so long, but loved it when I was there. Now I'm in TX which I'm supposing you are from? :) Anyhow, thanks so very much for your kind words and well wishes!! ~EJ 07/15/2007 12:37
Elisha....WOW what a great voice you have :-)
Beautiful looking and a nice smile.
Your voice is so clean.
I sure do hope you will win but if not, then still keep on the damn good working :-)
I'm proud of ya.
Hugs from Iben in Denmark :-) 07/13/2007 14:37
oh gosh Iben :)) I sure appreciate your kindness and confidence in my abilities! I most definitely WILL continue no matter the outcome of this because I just have to sing.. it's in every fiber of my being! :) Thanks so very much!! ~EJ 07/15/2007 12:35
I like your look and your voice, though some parts were a little shaky. I enjoyed that you didn't just try to reproduce what the original artist did. A few notes, though, would be to allow your voice to do what it wants to do. obviously you want to control your performance, but at the same time let your voice express not just the music, but what it is you are feeling. Count
