[MultiGnar]

The 9 dislikes that this video has... were clicked by people who are deaf or weren't born with ears

[digbyanddad]

He should have won the show because, he is poor and lives 2000 miles away from Hollywood.

Walking In Memphis was written by Marc Cohn an equally talented and amazing singer songwriter. What I love about Eli Mattson's rendition is that he is able to make the song completely his own. Love, love love Mattson's voice.

[InevidibleMe]

About him telling a story in this song well, I've listened to this song many times before and I never understood the story... After seeing this video I defiantly understand it now and seeing him play and sing the song almost made me cry... I would invest in this kid just to make him heard and seen!!!! In mu opinion this is the best of the best without a doubt 10/10, 2 thumbs up audition on Americas got talent...

[toxiclotus888]

something unreal

[paparazis]

very good song

[chmohd]

amazing singer

[SuperRebwar]

this guy is amazing ,watchesd this video 100 times

[davanablossom]

[davanablossom]

I am from Cyprus.. I watched this on my cable and im telling u he made me cry! he is absolutly talented and amazing.. I watch this kinda stuff all the time.. He is REALLY GREAT!!! Better than anything ive ever seen!!

[KamarieAitken]

he's gorgeous and so talented. i can't wait until he puts out a cd so that i can buy it.

[grandplans]

I would definitely pay to listen to him perform.

[ladybird139]

why eli never come out with anything ? :( he is the best pianist and singer (at least for me) such an emotion he can bring to audience..

[Vdjperks]

he always looks high buzzing eyes lol

[compkyle48]

this guy is phenomenal!!! he puts such emotion and power in his songs...you'd swear he wrote this song himself. that's talent, man. where has he been for a year? no cds or tours? he should fire his management. he should have been out there a long time ago...

[abercrombieskater354]

blake33a..fuck off your just jelous

[MegaZombieNation]

wow the bes insult you could come up with was to attack his screen name? People make me sad.

[jdizzle3484]

lol ur retarded

[larsonny77]

dont ever hassle the hoff

[jdizzle3484]

Nothing less then amazing. Now a days all of the artist voices are perfected by computers and stuff. He is pure talent simply amazing.

[int3l88]

Hes great man,

He does tell a story in his music, he sings with that emotion and it shows. He did not even need this show really, all he needed was that 1 time for a record company to hear that.

He came from the bottom, traveling on a bus with hardly the fair, as long as he realizes that bus would still be taking me places, he will keep his emotion in his music. You see that it is truly the kids passion.

Simply a Great,

Looking forward to seeing his future music, awesome artist all ready.

[int3l88]

I'll tell you what, again the voice is still generic, but you could out sing any of them. You sing with emotion, and you can see it. You have literally taken all your pain and struggle to get there and let it go right there. Man, never forget where you started from, and use the emotion in your music. If you get big right and famous, just remember you came from the choice of eat or jump on the next bus, well the bus is still running just your not on it anymore.

[int3l88]

really he is good, but the voice is generic, sorry, hes got the schwag of Nickleback, mixed with some creed and pearl jam with a piano. Sorry but hes like a 3 combine. Beautiful voice woud listen to anyday but its generic

[gabriel71413]

Sry I meant to say "there are so many people" at the begining of my comment

[gabriel71413]

This guy is amazing are soany people out there tht get recagnized and sighned because there family or someone they know is in the entertainment buisness, this guy is the kind of people who need to get or should get sighned not some person who gets there voice digitaly enhanced and gets sighned just cause they know people. Great job, I'm a big fan, hope you go far

[olympiagreece]

awesome!!!!so handsome.talented and kind!!!!!the perfect combination!!!!!

[freeqwerqwer]

How did a crappy song like that get thru?

[annes1991]

I think he entered a wrong contest..he should hve join american Idol. at least he is better than archuleta...

[XMagicRealityX]

at 2:10 was that jerry springer?

[fenderaod]

yah he hosted that year

[LediaPimmk]

AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[snowbird68]

[mrsmorgan1107]

That is sooooo goooooood!!!!!!!!!!!

He really deserves to win.

I really hope that it happens to you.

xxx

[CheerUpEmoKidss]

[543cbb]

Beautiful Voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[MoonFae2006]

Gosh, I remember when I saw his audition. I immediately fell in love with his performance. If he hasn't already, I hope he makes a record. Seriously! His performance seemed to engulf me & it wasn't just a guy singing & playing piano-it was so much more!!! <3 He should do a version of Edwin McCain's "I'll Be"!

[Matthewchan0902]

What is the song call again?

Thanks

[MattVanLake]

walkin memphis

or something like dat

[happii2bnappy]

he can sang!!!

[carebeare13]

Eli Mattson is not from Memphis he is originnaly from Luxemburg WI a City that is 15 miles away from where i live. And this is no lie My Music teacher worked wrote songs and played guitar on Eli mattson's first album and still talks to him to this day

[idahosatha12]

it sounds a bit like country but i like country but this was just really good

[superhokage]

sounds kind of christian rock... but still good

[99Collie88]

I find it interesting that this young man has remained so unknown since this audition. But then, in view of what can happen when instant recognition is thrown at a performer. It will be interesting to hear what his next performance will be.

[lKaeso]

great singer

few views `tough...

[skatingstar20]

I wanted Eli to win so badly

[jazzisievers]

I WANT TO LEARN PIANO NOW

[SkeeterHearts001]

When he first started singing he sounded like Matchbox 20/Rob Something haha. Very good.

[thewayoutisin]

His aunt is awesome!

[Lilyf0x]

Very good i'm getting cold from his voice !!
