Idol-likes!

So I'm a big fan of American Idol and last night they kicked off their top 24 contestants with the guys performances last night.

I'm sitting their watching and can't help but play idol-skating look-a-likes! The three that I came up with are pictured below. Danny Noriega doesn't look so much like Johnny Weir but the personalities are dead ringers! David Archuleta reminds me of Patrick Chan and David Hernandez screams Eliot Halverson. Maybe I'm crazy but take a look below.

The Big Buzz

Over the past few months I have seen a great deal of buzz about this young man...Eliot Halverson.

He has been the poster boy for the upcoming national championships...of the senior men competitors, he's the only one from St. Paul (however it stands to reason that Rohene Ward from Minneapolis will have some support as well). He's made appearances all over the place, he's been plastered all over the USFSA and Ice Network websites, and he's the featured skater at Figure Skaters Online. Ummm, he must be pretty spectacular!

But aside from his celebrity I knew literally nothing about him. I discovered he was the Junior Champ at last years National Championships. I also discovered he was tenth at last years Junior Worlds. He's also a previous Novice Champ.

Can this kid live up to his hype?
