mr. tumnus returns!

Time for an Elliot Yamin performance. Whoa. He looks really different. With the new long hair and the altered teeth, I can't compare him to Mr. Tumnus from "Narnia." OK, actually I can still do that. And I will. He definitely wins the award for the best physical transformation since Kellie Pickler's alleged breast implants.
I'm not crazy about the song, or Elliot's hip new look. Part of what made him so endearing as an AI contestant was his awkwardness, the fact that he wasn't totally style savy but still managed to turn out strong performances and connect to the audience on a human level.
Post-performance, Seacrest asks the judges for their impressions, and obviously nobody -- even Simon -- says anything bad because that would harm the credibility of the show.
All in all, even though I'm not crazy about his R&B career, Elliot seems to have stayed a nice, appreciative, genuine guy...and I love his attempt to plug Porsche on a Ford-sponsored show.
Can you tell I still have a slight crush on him?
