Ok, I think we know how you all feel about this issue. You’ve made it clear that you don’t like it StevieCat, but it is an open forum where people can share whatever feeling they feel like sharing. You shouldn’t let this sort of information ruin your memory of what he did that year. Just enjoy Eli for what he was and hope that you get a chance to see it again.

As this thread seems to have become rather unproductive, I’m going to close the comments and we can all move on to the talent on the latest season.

It doesn’t matter, Sarah etc. This is a fan site and in my opinion, the comments made by you and the other Sarah are uncalled for on a site that supports him and wishes him success. Perhaps you can go share his “dark side” over on YouTube, but to feel it necessary to disappoint the fans who love and support him, it was inappropriate. We’ll never get to know him personally, and we’re not in love with him or anything, just treasuring the memory and the pleasure he brought to us that season, that’s all.

It just wasn’t necessary to share it. Share it with your friends, sure, but you could at least leave the memory of the magic that year intact for those of us who don’t know him.

I am not Sarah, StevieCat. Just another fan who has seen the same sad dark side.

Yes, Sarah, and those of us who hope he finds his way to success don’t go on his fan’s websites and bash him. You have your own agenda. Don’t be so surprised that your comments meet with some resistance here. The booking thing is one thing, your attack was personal. You can respond all you like with all the arguements you like, but most of us here will always support him. We love him too (obviously). You see, it’s not Personal with us. It apparently is with you. Why you feel the need to win us over is a puzzle to me.

Enough of your poison darts already.

By the way,
Many of us love Eli and hope he finds his way to success. But he’s not Santa. We just want him to come to terms with his problems.

Dear StevieCat, Please note “George’s” comments in this column:
# George commented on August 11th, 2010: Well I had the pleasure of booking Eli through his contact person listed on his website. Communications were terrible despite our settling on a date and deal. The date was confirmed with a brief email a few weeks before showtime in July 2010. Communications simply ended without a simple, “Sorry but Eli can’t make it” so people appeared for a show that never happened. For me, trying to reach someone who is responsible for booking is very difficult if not impossible. We have many “known” touring artists play our venue and nothing like this has ever happened. Contact info??

This was not an accident

Again, Sarah, (or should I say “still”) a very vindictive post at his fan site. Maybe you can visit my son’s email and tell him there’s no Santa. Just cuz it’s true doesn’t mean you have to do this at a place where people like him and follow him. We wonder where he is out of a desire to see him perform, not a desire to hear such negative things about him from someone hos is “very close to the situation.” Privacy belongs to everyone, not just “the innocent.” He hasn’t robbed a bank or killed anyone. Why you felt the need to say this is a wonder to me. I hope you never fall under a situation like this and then have your so called friends or people “close to your situation” go online and post it to the world.

Just a word from someone very close to the situation. Sarah’s comments are correct regarding Eli. And there’s a serious difference between support and enabling. Privacy’s fine as far as it protects the innocent.

George,
Sadly, that’s very believable, but unfortunate. Seems like Eli has gone through some really rough patches. They could at least communicate what’s going on.
