Mom of Former "Idol" Finalist Sings "My Way"

241. What a despicable thing to say. What will anyone remember you by when you die? Lacking class.

242. You guys suck. Completely uncalled for. Classless, even by your classless standards.

244. First of all, TMZ, you don't know who you are messing with. Elliott has a huge and very loyal fan base. He is a great talent and wonderful person. More importantly, our love and prayers go out to our Elliott and his family for the loss of his beloved mother, Claudette!

245. TMZ you should be ashamed of your self. Which ever of your writers wrote that last sentance should be fired and 1 can only hope they will experience as much pain as he is going through

246. ur take on a mother's death is nothing less than disgusting - is that what tmz is resorting to now?

247. You don't have to be a bunch of rude asses to get viewers. His mom passed away, they were very close. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Elliott.

248. Dude, that's horrible. He's actually a really great singer with hits like "Wait for You" and "Movin' On". He was very close with his mother. She was on Idol quite often when he was a contestant, and if I remember correctly, she was a single parent who raised her son all by herself with many struggles. I think you've overstepped a boundary here. I'm disappointed in you. TMZ is usually sarcastic, witty, and funny... but this is just plain CRUEL!

249. You guys are disgusting. Was there really no other celeb news to mock today? You'd think for once you would be embarrASSed by yourselves so much that you would remove the story.

250. the flip tone of the last line of this article is just completely disgraceful. This woman was completely devoted to her talented son and the family deserves respect and support at this time, not an adolescent attempt at humor. Absolutely disgusting, TMZ!!!

251. Wow. So very uncalled for. I know you are TMZ and can't help being asses, but for God's sake - to use the death of a very sweet woman to make digs at other people is just plain evil. That's low even for you.

Shame on you.

252. this just proves that harvey levin is every bit as soul-less and greedy and disgusting as the people he makes fun of so he can be rich.

one day harvey, you'll be old and fat and you'll get caught with a younger boy who's doing you for the cash - and only then will you start to realize how much crap you filled the world with during your lifetime.

253. This is the first time that I think a post is inappropriate. That was extremely rude and uncalled for.

254. You know, I've been offended by stuff before on here and have laughed it off. But this was downright cruel. I can promise you this is my last visit to TMZ. I'm done being part of the problem by checking in on this crap to kill time. If I don't read, problem solved.
