An amazing singer on American Idol Season 5. He was in the top three but was voted off. He was born and raised in Richmond, Va. Elliot worked at Westbury Pharmacy, Melito's and as a disc jockey for a radio station before his time on AI. He is 90% deaf in one ear and dropped out of high school in 10th grade. Neither him nor his family knew of his talent before he did a karaoke performance at Champp's Restaurant at a mall. Elliott's mom has become just as famous as him on american idol and won an award for best family moment.

A few weeks ago, no one had “cheugy” in their vocabulary . Now everything is saturated with the word. It’s in our heads. It’s in our homes. Everyone is asking: “Am I cheugy? Am I a basic ass bitch? Am I GUILTY of being cheugy?”

The proliferation of cheugy in the mainstream discourse can only be attributed to one source: mental terror. It’s an orchestrated psychological trap to make you question your tastes and interests in the eyes of others.

You are not a cheug. YOU’RE PERFECT!!!!

It is very suspicious that the cheugy mascot is a Minion, a literal cyclops, a deformed
yellow panopticon in overalls ... do not let the all-seeing eye to control you. Be vigilant. Resist cheugy psyops.

Probably the only legitamite artist American Idol has produced.
