ABsolutely amazing!!! And the ass that siad its a gayer version of CREED needs to quit listening to music all together. Mattson is great and CREED is very good as well. Two of my favorites for sure
idk whos those two bad taste people that thumbs down this vid, cus this is amazing..Eli should have won cus he's the definition of talent...hes a winner to me and i know to many other viewers as will..keep singing and playing ur piano Eli. real Talent...
Eli mattson is amazing.. just makes me melt when he sings :) i have only recenly seen him when americas got talent came on the tv in the uk. amazing voice!!!!! xx
I've been watching this season's new America's Got Talent, and even when all these talented singers are giving me goosebumps, my thoughts eventually return to Eli Mattson. Your voice is something out of this world, Eli, what a beautiful beautiful gift.
What an amazing gift. He is truly blessed. I love this song! Thanks to Eli for finding his talent and sharing it with the rest of us. Cheers to you. Amazing.
Okay. Signed or not, commercialized or not, keep in mind that since you've been on AGT, you have grown a grassroots support base. At some point, all the struggles you have gone through will pay off.
You have an incredible voice, and the talent required to back it up. It doesn't matter if you won a contest or not, you are now known around the world. -That- is something that most people could only dream about.
u know, it's actually better that he didn't win America's Got Talent. If he would have won, he would HAVE TO do America's Got Talent for a whole year before going on to better things. He DID get a better contract. And don't make fun if Neal E. Boyd. I don't opera, but he IS good. If you made fun of Neal in front of Eli, he would be mad at you. They're good friends. SO DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT NEAL WINNING! I LOVE Eli though! He's my sister's husband's cousin. I also live like an hour away from Eli!
im sorry but i have to disagree with you, i never sad anything bad about Neil E Boyd! not one word okay so i dont appreciate you saying that for one, also im sure Neal knows the truth, and feels so bad, i mean its so obivious as you can tell fromthere profile views! im just saying the true winner didnt win because of Fraud votes! and with the whole bush things and corrpupt politics that is going on and i think its sad
Eli Mattson got ROBBED, CHEATED, the votes were fake!!!!!!1 the evidence shows, look at Neal E Boyds youtube page and you see Eli Has Triple times the views!!!!!!1 gosh im sick of these same old washington corrupt U.S. politics!!!!!!1 its fucking sad and wrong!!!!!!1
hey, u r definitely gonna get your wings, , gotta question, can u do "have u ever been loved by a woman", u got the voice to make cltohes drop,hahaha,u got it, later on man,
Yes, Eli's voice is absolutely amazing and he touches the soul!! But, let's not go dissin' the "classics" like Elton John and Billy Joel. For one thing, Eli wouldn't want us to do that. And, for another, who's to say that Eli is not the next generation to take over for those two fine gentlemen? Eli is fabulous and I cannot wait to purchase his first cd!! But he'd be the first to say that at this point, he is still in their shadows - maybe only barely, but still there. Good luck, Eli!
Hey Eli, First of all I would like to thank you for your awsome music. Because of you I have found a new music genre that I was not familiar with. With the likes of You, Billy Joel and Elton John and yes you fit in there. I watched your interview about not getting enough money for your bus fares after your free gigs, Well Eli I am the father of 4 kids that I am providing for along with my wife we would be glad to pay a bus fare for you to continue on your way. God Bless You and good luck. Retzy
Im seriously overwhelmed by your vocals.Every single chord strikes deeply in me.Yearning for your arrival in Singapore to tell your amazing stories in your own rendition..
Eli another thing, do not forget your Canadian Fans when you'll release your CD, I'm from Canada and believe you have tons and tons of fans out here ! And please release ''Monsters'' in Canada too!
...in my opinion, Eli is FAR better than Elton John. Eli is authentic, he has no need for frills. His presence, his humility, and his stellar voice set him apart. There is something special about Eli.
kswan4christ you are WRONG again as usual. Elton John is the reason Eli began to play and sing. Elton John is a one man band, a musical genius. He can play piano and sing and entertain the whole world just by himself and it gives you shivers down the spine, it is powerful. Eli is good but can NOT compete with such talent and is just fake compared to Elton John who can make a timeless classic hit song in half an hour and had a major impact on artist around the world.
Elton John has sold over 250 MILLION records, making him one of the most successful artists of all time. He has more than 50 Top 40 hits including seven consecutive No. 1 U.S. albums, 56 Top 40 singles, 16 Top 10, four No. 2 hits, and nine No. 1 hits. He has won five Grammy awards and one Academy Award. His success has had a profound impact on popular music and has contributed to the continued popularity of the piano in rock and roll...
ur re really amazing. u boomed me away with ur performance when i saw u the first time. i really really hope u will come to germany one day and i'll make sure i see ur gig hehe.
Eli you have the greatest voice and you are just AMAZING!!! the first time i saw you on AGT i was like WOW! he's freaking Awesome!! and i got chills when you were singing and playing the keyboard! Keep doing what you are doing!! it's Amazing!!
ARE YOU REALY FANTASTIC!!! nothing to say... is incredible, your voice and piano!!! wow , for me you are better like P. collins who was my idol .. now you are fantastic, im wait andother songs from you ...
Hi Eli, I have really enjoyed watching you perform. I think you are an inspiration to many. May I just give you one piece of friendly criticism from one singer to another. You tend to sing a little from the back of your throat. It was so little on America's got talent that it didn't matter but it is a bit much on this song. It's beautiful song and you play beatifully.
just stay focused MAN, dont ever settle for less that is all i got to say to you, you have touched me and my family and america like i never have seen before!1 sometimes it works out for the better, your calling has just got that much more deeper and it is up to you not to quit and truly REPRESENT AGT TO THE FULLEST!1 like i said if it was a contest on talent by far you totally dwarfed the competition and if that wasnt true you wouldnt be the main show still today!1 Stay strong!1
Eli- A friend of mine and I watched you and waited and wanted you to win tonight. You didn't but you did in my heart. You rock and I love your voice- I cannot wait for you to get signed so I can buy a cd. Good Luck and keep on dreaming because it will be a reality before you can blink.
You are gonna make some label a lot of money. It is not if you get signed; it is when you get signed. It is going to happen ELI! Be patient and get an attorney before signing anything.
Hi Eli, I think you are absolutely amazing and your music really touches my heart. You do great cover songs but I think your original music is even better (especially the song 7!!!). Can't wait to hear more from you. :)
Eli, I just wanted you to know that you were the only one on AGT that I ever voted for. Always my 20 possible votes (10 online, 10 by phone) went to you until the last vote when I lost my internet connection after only making 5 votes online. Sorry, I really wanted you to win because I think you have paid the most dues and are heartily deserving. I'm sure a recording company will be after you soon. Keep up the fight, The prize is closer than ever.
hey eli..this is my favorite song you've ever sang..Ironically 7 is my favorite number...i think ive fallen in love with a hopeless romantic music man ;)
Hey Eli, Idaho's got your back...everyone I talk to over here says if you don't win, they'll never watch AGT again. You should put professional mover on your resume, cuz thats all you're doing over here.
WOW!! I love your voice!! you are amazing!! love you!! and just so u know all the covers u have done though out the competition have been better then the originals!! If I could I would listen to you sing all day I would! I really hope you WIN!! Keep up with your song writing... even if you don't with (which you WILL) your gonna make it big some day! I truly believe that.. and i am behind you ever step of the way... we all are!!
(continue...) The competition is getting tough, and i really wish to see you win, i really wish to see you CD on the rack one day (cause I promise I will be buying it!). The Nuttin' but Stringz got huge fan base, they are talented, but they got two persons, and you are all alone by yourself to beat the two boys, you need to double the 'wow' effect to win. I wished you with all my heart to win. All the best!
eli - i love your act. But if you want to win in the AGT, you have to pull sth different in next round. You need to play by the american game, tell you sad story, like why is it your aunt who accompany you to the first audition? where's your mom? or you said something very touching in the first audition, saying you've been playing around in bars just for some tips that are not even enough to pay your bus fare, can you show that hardship a bit more to the audience? (tbc...)
I absolutly love the way you sing. Your Aunt said that not to many singers move her soul, you do. Same here! From the first time I seen you on AGT I wanted to buy your CD, can't wait for it! I'm glad you never gave up! I can't wait to see how high you get to soar!!
When I saw your first apperance on AGT I thought of Elton John. Your incredible, every time I hear you sing I get goosebumps. I will be keeping my eyes open for your CD in the near future so heres hoping you make one. Just awesome.
Amazing.....you just put a smile on my face everytime I hear you sing......you are doing great and your mother is very proud of you....keep it up.....
wow its good listening to you!! I really hope you make it all the way in AGT,if not you will still do good.I know you will do good in life with your talent.
The beauty of your soul shines out everytime you sing. Your eyes speak all the words of how much music means to you and its refreshing and honest. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent and making a lot of people smile...
Eli performed one of my favorite songs on America's Got Talent... Walking In Memphis. He did it with such heart and emotion that it brough tears to my eyes. If he ever performs in Madison, WI, I'll be there! My 8 yr old son and I keep voting for Eli on America's Got Talent. No one deserves to win more then Eli! You're my favorite "Piano Man", Eli!
men your really good.. wait more then that.. shoot am a fan now Eli Mattson.. and one day i know your gonna become a star. so keep up the great work.. and don't let anyone bring you down Eli Mattson cause your one in the best out there and i know you make all of impact on all of others out there.. so on going men your the best.. the one and only Eli Mattson.
even if eli doesn't win this, many places will want him to play for them and a lot of people will give a lot more money when he plays if he goes back to traveling.
and i`ve never seen any one who deserves a shot more than this guy he deserves every standing ovation he`ll ever get just for how he made me feel!!!!Good luck man Michael Allen
I love this song. Actually, I love every song that you sing. I have been singing for years. I am very happy for you in the pursuit of your dreams. I would love to collaborate with you one day!
And again, I say, you are so amazing...I agree that you are much like a young Billy Joel. Except I like your voice SO MUCH MORE. Seriously, Eli, please - for anyone lucky enough to hear you perform - record an album....make it big. I'd listen to you all night long, if I had your album....
Eli...thank you. Can't wait for an album. Your star in the sky is there. I'm seeing it!! I'm a 49 yr old mother with children but music transcends age. You are totally mesmerizing.
You are absolutely incredible! Tonight (9/9/08) I told my family that if you were voted off I would stop watching! I know you will go far. You seem so genuine & your voice is one of the best I have ever heard. This song is absolutely lovely & the minute you come out with your first cd I will be standing in line to get it. I still cannot believe you have not been signed already. Good luck in the rest of the competetion & be rest assured you have a fan for life. I'll be voting for you.
Soft as Sin (live) is the most passionate expression of feelings of momentum and the desire of procrastinating to keep those moments alive; that I've ever heard or felt in my entire life. Everybody has had those moments. From a kiss, 5 extra sleep minutes, another orgasm, another beer to another chance at life. It's gut-wrenching beautiful. By far my favorite of anything I've heard yet so far. Not that it's better, just the way I relate to it I suppose.
Eli, you are without a doubt a genuine talent. Even if you don't get the gold, I can't wait for your first CD. I will pre-order it. you bring tears to my eyes!
You have incredible talent! God was really on form when he created you! I wish you the greatest success. You seem like a very old soul for such a young man. May you find what you are looking for. Much love and luck to you, my friend.
This time I have to disagree with mraskevitz. Chris Daughtry has nothing on you hun. You're gorgeous: heart, mind and soul. I listen to your songs and they make me forget about everything thats happened in my day. Please don't ever stop 'cause some days are just too difficult to not have something so beautiful to turn to.
Hey man...just saw you on AGT tonight (Tivo, baby) and you rocked the house! I told my wife right there on the spot if I had to choose I said you win the whole thing. Keep it up and remember to keep choosing songs that showcase your unique voice and sound. go, baby, go!
Enjoy your future. Just stay humble and remember where you came from. That is what America has fallen in love with. Those of us in WIS. are pulling and praying for you. God bless.
I keep listening to this song over and over and the chills haven't gone away yet! Love it! Whether you win AGT or not, you'll have success now--too many people have fallen in love with your unique sound. You may be the Chris Daughtry of AGT!
I am from Belgium and your voice is amazing. I have been hearing your singing-clips over and over again....if you get to chance to make a record, I'll be your first european fan!!! Your rock baby !!! Sexy voice!!
Eli I have been watching AGT from the begining and idk how I didnt see your first time on three but I missed it and Im sorry I did. You have an amazing voice good luck man Ill be voting for you every chance I get
I cant believe this man hasn't been dicovered "I love Eli" Where have you been hiding? America's Got Talent, is blessed to have found you. When can Alaska buy your CD???
Eli, I had not been following AGT up to this point, but we caught last night's show. You were BY FAR the most talented.
I voted for you and I hope you make it all the way. Your voice certainly has it's own individual qualities, but it also reminds me of some of the most touching performances I have heard by Elton John. Keep sticking to your dreams. I think you will get there.
Eli you are beauty at it's best. No matter how far you get on America's Got Talent, you have a fan base set and I personally can't wait for your first Cd to be released. God bless and Good luck.
I think we have an impressive voice, I hope you can fulfill the dreams you want because your voice and your songs reach the heart, your tone of voice is impressive and above seems a good hombre.Aunque here in Spain might cost willing news about your music I hope that one day the haga.Ademas, carry the same outstanding jaja! A very strong hug from someone you admire.
The piano man is back for us all. A new begining in music. Eli has it to be the biggist of the big. Very talented gifted artist, who can bring us back to music we can listen to for hours on end with true soul and rock and heart. A style all his own, like Elvis for a whole new age of music lovers
From one muscian to another,Keep your music this beautiful,pure and humble..u my friend are gonna be a star!!!!...you were born to sing..be free and happy my brother!
I'M A SPANISH BOY.TRANSLATE THIS PLEASE BECAUSE MY INGLISH IS VERY BAD:
Creo que tienes una voz impresionante, espero que puedas cumplir los sueños que desees porque tus canciones y tu voz llegan al corazón, tu tono de voz es impresionante y encima pareces un buen hombre.Aunque aqui en España quizá cueste que leguen noticias sobre tu musica,espero que un dia lo haga.Ademas,llevamos los mismos pendientes jaja!Un abrazo muy fuerte de alguien que te admira.FOR MY YOU ARE THE BEST.GOOD LUCK FRIEND
Eli, In watching you, we can see your humble beginnings and feel the pain of your struggles. When you become the star you are, please never forget those humble beginnings, they will keep your feet firmly on the ground! God Bless You!
You are truely talented. Keep up the awesome work. You have such a great voice...I could listen to you for hours. I wish you had a CD out. When you get one PLEASE advertise on your myspace. I will be voting for you on AGT!!! Good luck and God bless!!!
He just blows this competition away! NO WAY SHOULD ANYONE ELSE WIN!!! He's by far the absolute best!!!! Eli, you got my vote. We'd love to have you come to Raleigh, North Carolina!!!
I just LOVE your voice!

Eli, I just wanted you to know that you were the only one on AGT that I ever voted for. Always my 20 possible votes (10 online, 10 by phone) went to you until the last vote when I lost my internet connection after only making 5 votes online. Sorry, I really wanted you to win because I think you have paid the most dues and are heartily deserving. I'm sure a recording company will be after you soon. Keep up the fight, The prize is closer than ever.

Hey Eli, Idaho's got your back...everyone I talk to over here says if you don't win, they'll never watch AGT again. You should put professional mover on your resume, cuz thats all you're doing over here.

(continue...) The competition is getting tough, and i really wish to see you win, i really wish to see you CD on the rack one day (cause I promise I will be buying it!). The Nuttin' but Stringz got huge fan base, they are talented, but they got two persons, and you are all alone by yourself to beat the two boys, you need to double the 'wow' effect to win. I wished you with all my heart to win. All the best!

eli - i love your act. But if you want to win in the AGT, you have to pull sth different in next round. You need to play by the american game, tell you sad story, like why is it your aunt who accompany you to the first audition? where's your mom? or you said something very touching in the first audition, saying you've been playing around in bars just for some tips that are not even enough to pay your bus fare, can you show that hardship a bit more to the audience? (tbc...)
hhilary 3 years ago
I absolutly love the way you sing. Your Aunt said that not to many singers move her soul, you do. Same here! From the first time I seen you on AGT I wanted to buy your CD, can't wait for it! I'm glad you never gave up! I can't wait to see how high you get to soar!!

Eli performed one of my favorite songs on America's Got Talent... Walking In Memphis. He did it with such heart and emotion that it brough tears to my eyes. If he ever performs in Madison, WI, I'll be there! My 8 yr old son and I keep voting for Eli on America's Got Talent. No one deserves to win more then Eli! You're my favorite "Piano Man", Eli!

You seem so genuine & your voice is one of the best I have ever heard. This song is absolutely lovely & the minute you come out with your first cd I will be standing in line to get it. I still cannot believe you have not been signed already. Good luck in the rest of the competetion & be rest assured you have a fan for life. I'll be voting for you.

Soft as Sin (live) is the most passionate expression of feelings of momentum and the desire of procrastinating to keep those moments alive; that I've ever heard or felt in my entire life. Everybody has had those moments. From a kiss, 5 extra sleep minutes, another orgasm, another beer to another chance at life. It's gut-wrenching beautiful. By far my favorite of anything I've heard yet so far. Not that it's better, just the way I relate to it I suppose.

Eli, I had not been following AGT up to this point, but we caught last night's show. You were BY FAR the most talented.
I voted for you and I hope you make it all the way. Your voice certainly has it's own individual qualities, but it also reminds me of some of the most touching performances I have heard by Elton John. Keep sticking to your dreams. I think you will get there.
