Sad to report the death, at 65, of Elliott's mother, Claudette Yamin, in Richmond. Cause of death was not reported. Donations can be made to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's Central Virginia chapter.

More info as I find it.

My condolences to the family. I hear the AI website is going to post something in regards to this.

Thanks E for the info. And the new thread.

Blessings. He was close to her as any son to a mother.

At least she got the chance to see him make it. His dreams. And hers. Be at peace.

Didn't expect that news. My condolences as well.

Now how did I know Syesha would do 'I will always love you?

Please be original....please please please...

Sorry Simon was right on this one. She started out great, but tried the Whitney version at the end - not good. Not good.

"The List"

Brooke - Jolene, eh ok I guess

David - Little Sparrow, good as usual

Ramiele - Do I Ever Cross Your Mind, next--maybe in bottom 2 tomorrow.

Jason - Travelin' Thru - pretty good--maybe bottom 2...

Carly - Here You Come Again, God I love her...

David A - Smoky Mountain Memories - brought Dolly to tears

Kristy Lee - Coat of Many Colors, sorry she may not go home again...Missing Chikeze already...

Syesha - I Will Always Love You, no surprise she would sing this one. Started great! Blew the so-so version of Whitney at the end. Disappointed she ended it on that route. She could have taken this one. Still, like it.

Michael - It's All Wrong but It's All Right, thought it was the best tonight, considering it was originally a country song.

Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyaaaaaa!
