THANK YOU, JARAMAJO !!!!!!




Like Yukisherry, I have been looking *everywhere* for this for quite a while. Thanks to elijah_finds, I've been able to see/save most of the segments, but there are some here that I hadn't even seen before. This is perfect -- no ads, no Jet :-), but all the delightful Elijah.

(BTW, sorry to go on as long as I am about to do in a comment, but this has TOTALLY made my day...I've watched it four times just while writing this. Anyone who reads this, thanks for your patience with the following gush! :-) )


I especially love all the singing he does in this. He has such a cool voice -- over a two-octave range, not to mention that extra HIGH note (er, screech) at the end of the choir sketch. (It *is* an actual note, around a G *above* high C.) And in the 3rd song in the eggnog sketch, he can really spit out the "Donadonadonadonatella", which is a bit of a tonguetwister at that speed.

And those faux teeth in the comics sketch -- they *really* change his face a lot. An intriguing change, too -- he's still handsome but in a sort of generic way. (Oddly enough, at times he reminds me of Elvis!) His real face is so much more interesting. Though the falsies do give him a Seanwisian overbite.

And finally I got to see the ice skating at the end!! He's so cute doing those bendover glides under people's arms. Completely adorkable!

Now I know there are always quick costume/makeup changes on shows like this, but I am amazed that they were able to get him into/out of the Boy George makeup in real time. Maybe the news segment was just before it? (ETA: Yes, and a Jet performance before Weekend Update. And another non-Elijah sketch after the eggnog. Yay for SNL Transcripts (http://snltranscripts.jt.org/03/03h.phtml)!)

It's inevitable. Every time some lovely new (if only to me) goodie like this pops up, I fall in love with him all over again. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

*wanders off with a silly grin, singing "I see your true colors, that's why I love you..." :-)*


... so THANK YOU AGAIN JARAMAJO !!!
