[suz3suz]

Adoreeee !!!!!

[JonathanMartinezSoto]

[hto1971]

i seen one on you tube where Eli Mattson doing his own gig and Neal E Boyd was there singing with eli and boyd suck ass they was singing a pop song fat classic dude can only sing opra this shit had to be rig for real

[40517594]

passion voice emotion = great song

[travlynn08]

Eli is a great singer, but there is a lot of great talent out there and it is based on perspective. True, it seems that people vote on what they 'THINK' is popular, however, there can be more than one great unique talent, but only one can win. He got a chance of exposure, which is important, not necessarily a shot at Las Vegas. That can be very confining.

[theblackhacker1000]

hhee has a MAGIC VOICE... god's Miracle♥♥♥

[heettreet]

this guy did not win agt ,,, ok ,, he should never have been there in the first place ,,, eli is above the contest ,,, a real pro ,,, rare to see such a development of this kind of talent in todays world ,,,, kids want instant success ,,, eli worked on his talent ,,,, a real pro in every cense ,,, thanks eli ,,,,for giving us that old fashion entertainment again,,,,

[Justinlanius07]

@heettreet Agreed, he was so much more than this competition! He is out of this world and Eli not winning just tells you about the culture loss in modern society when it comes to music.

[marcopatro]

11 person don't recognize a genius!!!!!!!!!

[IAmFiiCTiON]

Neal E Boyd... realy? fuck him Eli is the shit!!!!

[boxlightener]

[sam1612ksa]

"What have I got to do to make you love me "

[bavsha]

Gosh, Eli, you create goosebumps even in far eastern Europe!

[dtox00]

God I wish I could see him live someday. He should tour in europe! :/

[lovesfreedomtoo]

magic fingers, magic voice, he has me spellbound!

[TiredGreenEyes]

He has such soul. His performance and his aura just touches you so deep. He deserves to be a star.

[3greatgreyhounds3]

Eli Eli Eli awesome & amazingly talented. I have both your cd's & u need to be on tour around the world! Luv the cd's & you still... in my book r the winner! (I commented 5 months ago & said this & I'm sticking to it!) ELI STILL WINS w/that voice & talent!!! He is one of my fav. singers. Thx. for posting this.

[idaho777]

[flo01259]

i have never heard something like this-AMAZING ELI

[flo01259]

i have never heard something like this-AMAZING ELI

[ejelstad]

Just got home from seeing him play in Madison, WI. Maybe 25 people there, it was an incredible performance, very up close and personal. He deserves to be playing bigger venues, and I'm sure he will get that chance, I feel honored to have been able to sit no more than a few feet from him while he does what he does best.

[RUBAN0606]

i am disturbed by how turned on i am!

[rbrrosebitrose]

he should have won

[butterfly4479]

he got a dam good voice he should win america got talent that year man luv him

[Marikay4]

I love him so much! Why the holy hell isnt he headlining in vegas or fuck something! It's hard as hell to even get access to his music. its so god damn fucking wrong!!! ifeardoc is so right. This kind of thing makes me livid. The real artists and musicians are never appreciated till their dead. god! augh! I wanna scream....

[mika15snk]

his voice hypnotize me O_O

[1999masterchief]

@mika15snk me too. i just watch until the end... then i like go wow. casue your just frozen listening to him.

[coolcan81]

Thanks for posting the clip. I loved the last episode, just saw online at lastnightstvshows (.) com

[mullickp]

boaring

[Trigun075]

@mullickp If you can spell it right... he has talent

[mullickp]

@Trigun075 yes but boring kind of song all the time same. Not versatile. Always gloomy and gay.

[Jadecami1]

JUst talent !!!!

please please please...

keep doing music and singing !!!!!!

[yongweichang]

Talent is from your heart. Leap forward , Eli.

[Btbob1]

he has his own site, goes on tours, has 2 cd's, and a merch line. I think he is on his way to becoming famous. Gotta love Wisconsin talent. A little more pride in my home after hearing him sing

[sumitvids]

he's got something great.. and he is humble and real.. real talent. someone who had to fight and struggle to find it and perfect it.. he's my fav

[maira20102010]

hola, solo queria decir que me fascina este joven l verdad que me quede boqui abierta, felicidades para el

[andreaortizmartinez]

i love Eli!!! his voice is too sexy!

but what happened to him!! is he still singing? i hope so... im dying to buy his tracks!!

i loveeeeee that kind og music

[TheNinjagansta]

My dad and I love his music!!! Elton John you need to watch your back!! This guy is amazing! :)

[slyda92]

his singin at da start was amazingggg!

[masdanmark]

totally agree!! he´s amazing..

[Thekastiq]

Why do people says : For me he is a winner? He IS a WINNER!!!! HE IS A PEACE OF HEAVEN

[lovesfreedomtoo]

coceng123 , I am not quite sure what you are hearing when listening to this young man, I am a grandmother, certainly have no desire to "lay him down" as you said, but I would love to sit through an hour or more concert of him performing. The passion he puts into every word, every note just blows me away. I guess this is a case of to each his own, personal taste. I honestly think he is amazing.

[AfterClassTrip]

@lovesfreedomtoo

I listened to his voice and I fell in love with him. I think he should have won that contest. He is my winner :)

[akramboy93]

he is just great !!!

[bpfire41]

He is still my favorite!

[bennyboy1962]

In January 2009 Eli went to LA to start recording for the Epic division of Sony Music. Don't think for a second that Sharon Osbourne and the talented producers at Sony Music were going to let this fantastic young man get away. I can't wait to buy his first album.

[slyda92]

@bennyboy1962 wen is his album coming out? deffo buyin it to

[andreaortizmartinez]

@slyda92

please tell me when is his album coming!! im dying to have it

i just love his voice... he really got talent!!

[1966asn]

This morning I have no idea, where Eli Mattson is? I do know that,"that he should have his lable"!! To have that much soul and sprit. No words can explain the talent he has in every heart felt word. "STELLER"

[coceng123]

This video proves that a good voice doesn't make you a star ! EACH & every performance is the same as the previous one ! Just imagine seeing his performance in 1 straight hour...only the girl who want to lay him down would stay !

He MUST take chances, more varieties in his performances...if not, he would NEVER be remembered in 6 months' time !

[ifeardoc]

Just proves that real talent doesn't make you a star... and being a star doesn't make your voice any better. In a perfect world he would be a star and successful but instead we get the Jonas Brothers. I feel cheated personally.

[xFunTomCZx]

@ifeardoc 100% agree, thats the world nowadays, sadly...

[isenberg31]

@ifeardoc i agree 100%  he should be singing every where

[faith4987]

@ifeardoc well said.

[bahxitcha]

His voice is amazing, I was wondering why people who can't sing like Miley Cyrus are famous and people like Eli who have talent, need to fight for it. So unfair. I really like him. I love his voice. Sounds a little bit like 3 doors down.

[MissIneake]

For me Eli is a winner!

[laydyingfan01]

his album is out I bought it like 2 months ago, well idk if that was bc i went to his concert or not though....

[Rebiichee]

He should have win

[hinwood06]

why are we waiting so long for his first album...what a great voice...love this guy...Is there no justice for someone with so much talent...it's sickening...

(from Peter...ex Rocky Horror...opp...S.Sarandon)

[shavedmom]

THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CarMarkids]

I thought "Eli was going to win. Should have been Mattson first, Braswell 2nd.

Two really good singers.

[jenydarling]

dam i love this guys voice

[deadlygas1]

hes SO GOOD I WANTED HIM TO WIN

[Shasha1673]

He is one of my favorite singer for America's Got Talent!!=)

[nufftajbl]

He just sings.... different... He cant hold long notes for too long... thats bad for singers... at least he can play the piano:D

[fajnycycek]

He can holds public... that's the point

[komar2236]

[anialer]

He is the best of bests.

He deserved the first place.

I do not know how Neal could win.He is far away compare with Eli.

Anyways time will tell that he is the best.

[emzpalma08]

I have been watching this video from time to time...In my heart Eli, you're always my champion!

[usamathew]

[ogie969]

[sharona1981]

Eli was so gorgeous-and so incredibly talented too! He should have won!

[xxDilveen38xx]

this is sensational !!

how could eli not win??

he sang walking in memphis brilliantly!

[crakost]

100 $ for a live concert... absolutely awesome

[Deanb009]

how didnt he win? man his voice his so powerfull. awesome

[wph1138]

the show is rigged. this whole country is rigged. we the people never stand up and fix things like this. hes better off tho. he IS a star a god given talent.

[mikedamiz12180]

i think neal got symphoty votes. neal's not this good and eli is starting to set big neal not so much

[DemoNick95]

eli should have won this show!!!!!!not the opera-guy...

[wph1138]

this is makes America full of shit. This guy should have won with out a doubt. this show is a hoax. fkn joke that put a guy on top cuz hes black and cries like a joke. Eli is what the world wants and asks for. HE is whqat any one of us want to and wish to be like. this should tell us all how this country if so fake. we are all being lied to every day.

[dmerchant322]

I think it was rigged to. theres noway america likes opera more than this. ELI WAS THE REAL WINNER!

[Graham662]

Eli should've won, no question

[wph1138]

tell me that show isnt rigged. what a joke. ELI has more talent in one of his fingers then any one on that show.

[xravingirlx]

amazing, breathtaking, pure, soul, real, cute, brilliant, talented

how did he not win please?

x

[fl0atlikeabutterfly]

The first time I watched his Walking in Memphis audition on TV, it took my breath away. Wow.

[TheTelephoneLine]

he's beautiful (;

[muzzy8900]

reminds me of the calling :where ever will you go

[AlanandLouise]

oooo,makes me tingle

[georgiag137]

ohh my god his voice is soo gurd

i have soo much faith in him

i hope he totally makes it and gets big

HE SOO DESERVES it !!

omg !

[suvmama]

Awesome!! Reminds of Clay Aiken - he came in second place and became a bigger star than Ruben Studdard. I think the same will hold true for Eli - I'm certainly going to buy his CD when in comes out in Canada! Best of luck to you Eli - keep up the great work!

[Sturon]

A guy this good wouldn't be able to go anywhere after this show without some sort of deal. Probably got some people signing him or giving him shows or having him write something.

[japs925]

Eli's amazing!!!

[bogadea]

what a wonderful, talented young man.

[netylek]

Eli is a great tallent and it was obvious from his first audition. Look at Youtube ratings and now try to believe that ppl voted for cry baby. I dont believe. It is american "oh g i'm sorry you just lost your grandma thats why we will vote for you" and nobody pays attention that the last song he was singing was far away from even pol potts BGT winer. Eli had to win this competition and i say sorry to AGT administration just becouse they are losing such huge talents.

[HunterMika]

Amazing , very good, i love his voice and music

[adgtag5rrr3]

they gave the crown to the cry baby

[cyclistlover]

what happened after the show was over did he get a deal too or what? i think he should of won honestly!

[Marlonblabla]

walking in mempins

[wayforlifetv]

what is the song that he is performing on the piano

[sunpall]

his own song ...

[MissHappyAllTheTime]

Oh-my-god he's amazing!

I really like him.

[shpshftr66]

Sounds like Elton John and looks like a young Jean Claude Van Damme. What a great voice.

[verfmatos]

You've got a Portuguese fan, just right now!

Amazing musician! So different, original!!! GOD!

I WANT HIS ALBUM!!!

[zuwiuke]

SOooooO nice :) go on, boy ;)

[wardaldo69]

wasnt that last song off the tony rich project?

[stoerwatje]

the true winner of these shows is always the number two.

[Mkw22oO]

true

most of the time 1st place usually has something added like there family is well known or they are related to someone famous

[Marlonblabla]

crazy men great ! xD

[Negend]

you see him singing all long then BAM he loses. Thought it was hilarious

[livechallenge]

woww he is the best ( the real winner of this show )

[mihagangsteritza]

I love him...he's great, the best

[mika15snk]

what's this song 1:58-2:54?

[DieToniii]

I think this must be Nobody knows it but me by kevin sharp/ babyface

[mika15snk]

me? i love ronan too;D

[mika15snk]

I agree, he's just amazing! i can listen him and listen..;)

[markustheking]

He´s reaaaaaaaaly amazing!!!!!

[netylek]

he is really awesome. He has voice like Ronan Keating has and it is briliant

[tikdenmark]

If you think he sounds like Ronan Keating you should try to hear "Brink" from denmark.

"Eurovision, denmark 2009".

[neubie]

you must never listened to ronan keating!!eli souns nothing like him!!

[neubie]

if anywone who o doesnt put a rate of 5 in 5 must be really STUPID!!!this is just awesome

[dianabxh]

Eli, you are my favorite singer. You are great in every song you sing. This is the right genre for you boy. I like you so much!!!

[moreau212]

how can someone sing like that and not making a career in music

[neubie]

this guy can sing!! if he keeps going like this is going to have a future in music!! great voice

[deucekrewbitch]

lyrics needs to change.. or just better

[bennymdavis]

change the lyrics? are you high? it's not his fucking song, it's a cover.

[deucekrewbitch]

o i mightve been high lol.. but i just thought the lyrics were kinda lame.. his song or not

[deucekrewbitch]

noo like wasnt one of the songs towards the end on he made up tho???

[75630KaraokeStar]

If Eli gets a recording deal it would be great. It seems that shows like American Inventor and Americas Got Talent were a waste considering that we never hear anything about the top performers of these shows after they are over.

Some of the talent on those two shows deserved success. Anyway Eli is great and I hope he is very successful.

[benzinator11]

he did once the season was over

[kellyejean22]

I think Eli is hot, especially that voice! I wonder why he wasn't on American Idol. I hope the rumor is right and he makes a record soon.

[onyxskull]

Reminds me of Eddie Vedder?

[gabbylove1982]

I really liked him and wanted him to win he's freakin hott too

[PattyBinkis]

I really thought he was going to be voted the winner. I cast my votes on him that night.  He is really good!

[Ironjawswife]

This quote was taken from wiki: " Eli will be going to LA in January 2009 to start recording for the Epic division of Sony Records"

[polkadotrock22]

OMG he's amazing!! I hope he gets some kind of record deal.

[vasilion4o]

he is the best ... we love ya man !

[eivrieivri]

he is the best singer, love you man, keep going

[barbielovesmakeup]

Eli Mattson is freaking HOOOOOOOT!

[libscorp1023]

why didn't you include the alicia keys song? I though he did that great...

[KH2Finatix]

he shuld have won

[33isnotold]

i listen to eli all day long, it never gets old...he needs a warning before singing

"don't fall in love with me"

[amandaacurtis0517]

damn this boy is hotttttttt!!!!!!

[deanie370]

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!
