This man did not win FOR VEGAS over an Opera singer? Sorry but I live in Vegas. This is what should've been headlining not the other guy. He's just not Vegas, at all. Pity votes. :/
Ok i see exactly why he didn't win. He is a baritone, if not a bass. That's the first problem. Turn on your radio right now and tune to a pop station and wait for a guy song to come on. You hear that? He's a tenor. That's why this guy didn't win. And allllllll of his songs are underwhelming. He also lowers the key down to his range. Neal hit high notes on every song he sang. This Eli guy is cute and all, but a high note destroys cuteness, even in little girls [think there was one in AGT ]
@shakaama hes not a pop singer so that whole explanation doesnt make sense. he is a rock/soul-based singer, he would never play on a pop station. sure, he has a deep voice and wouldnt fit in with the high-pitched voices of justin bieber and neal boyd, but that isnt the reason why he isnt the winner. i dont know about other females but i prefer deep voices over high anyday.
He is probably one of the most respectful guys that I have seen not only personally but those that are famous as well. He doesn't seem to be tainted by all the fame...
I love this guy! Terrific voice, good looks, why hasn't he get a recording contract yet? But i think if he sings that Elton John song instead, he might win.
o my god how could this person could't win ... hear the voice ... this is not ordinary voice... this is voice of star ... that o anybody have ... o m g
My hero, my inpiration and my idol. Eli you are the only good thing to have ever cvome out of Americas got talent and i fucking hate them for ruining it for you the way they rigged the voting. You are by far the best thing out there and still a winner to every person who has been on that show!
PLEASE DONT READ THIS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT something bad will happen. NOW UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS THIS ACTUALLY WORKS
he has a million dollar smile...he is a very big inspiration for me...everytime i see him perform i get inspired to do somethin good..compose a new tune or write a song...i wish i knew him personally...he is real soul man! he will always be a winner..
He has a really nice voice, but it didn't really fit for this song, but he delivered it well. He's got more of a southern sound when he sings and Walking In Memphis was the perfect fit in his audition.
all these singers need to get on american idol not here, hes good but i feel like he shouldnt be here, the only people that dominate the show are singers and dancers and they both have their own shows. Were never gonna see anything new until they divide things more
I thought that they were both great and thought that either of them would have one. But I just thought that Neil was just a little more. Congratz to ya Eli. Would love to see you here in Grand Rapids, MI sometime.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Nuttin but strings should have one. This guy is a hack. He sounds like Elton John and looks like he has turrets syndrome. He's about as unique as a jock and about as "fresh" as stale bread. Why do people always tend to gravitate towards the mundane? Everybody who thinks he's good clearly is into nothing but bubble-gum pop, brain candy.
DUDE YOU CAN FUCK OFF!!!!!!!! This guy is amazing and he is more talented in one brain cell then you do in your entire body. Don't hate him because you can't be him bitch.
you are retarded, first off I lost all respect for you after you used the word ONE to say WON, won is spelt WON not ONE, ONE is a number, maybe you should spend less time being a d-bag and thinking only your opinion counts and go back to school and work on your English.
he is charming. i´ve seen his other performances. he is good. but this wasn´t the right choice of music. don´t get me wrong, i like the song, but with a more bluesy song he would have been better. that "walking in memphis" was fantastic!!!
hey eli is happy he didnt win i seen him cause he came to our school n like he said he was so happy he didnt win cause he didnt want to go through some bs on what ever they wated him to do he said if u watch over the final vid were he lost he had like a sigh of relife
Why the hell are so many people complaining about Neil E. Boyd winning, and saying mean things about him? He deserved to win and I was hoping he'd win from the first time I saw him. Grow up people.
Eli will go far even though he didn't win. I think if he had reversed his last two performances and did the Elton John song in the finale, he might have had a better chance to win. I think the Elton John song was his best performance.
this man should have won not that fucking fat guy fucking bastard noone in there right mind wants to hear a fucking oprah singer god dang i cried i was so pissed he should have won and didnt!
My only issue with this guy is that all his songs sound dipressing. That is until this one, but that is only becuase he finally got some backup. Seriously, imagine his concerts! They will be hours of quiet, sad and dipressing songs. He needs to brighten up and play some fast fun and happy songs. So far he is just playing slow sad ones.
i agree of what you say but we can arrange some of best ahappy songs for. me even he sung a song where dipressing im am happy for that..............and satisfied because he is the soul of those people who never been a vocal one in term of dipression ans sorrows
This guy is what I call a 'turn-key professional'. He is totally ready for a professional career now. I can't believe he hasn't been signed. If nobody hires him, I will start a record company and hire him.
