'American Idol' season five second runner-up Elliott Yamin has ended up being a more commercially viable singer from that season than show winner Taylor Hicks and runner-up Katharine McPhee, and he tells Us Weekly he's not going to turn his back on the FOX franchise which launched his career. "I'm never going to be one of those guys who bashes the show," Yamin said. "They've changed my life for the better." The 29-year-old, currently dating model Jaime Paetz, added, "I'm a very fortunate man. I'm one of the lucky ones."
