Eli Mattson Sings Against All Odds - Finals Performance

[frvincentc]

goosebumps!

[tnbasshawk]

the people who need a contract the least wont win these shows because they have already won

[tnbasshawk]

eli is doing packed shows in vegas as well as touring he is phenominal

[carlcotaoco]

Something about his voice or how he sings makes the performamce so moving. Where is he btw

[TheOnezus]

they got a good performance or two and sent him on his way, how cheap he was the best out of them all

[RenegadexAngel888]

Wow... He really does move people. I am rarely influenced by music, but he is amazing. He makes me really want to learn how to play the piano. It's too bad the other guy got chosen. :c

[nooneveryimportant]

i dont think it is even good, lol. mediocre performance

[STUDLOVENOHOE]

his voice is bad ass yo



[TreasureOne]

How did Elton John come into this discussion? LOL

[noname311298]

how can you not win?Eli?

[mamycollins]

spectacular, sensational That you !!!!!! Eli....

[ozzihaka]

The song is "Against All Odds" not "Take A Look At Me Now" Hoff you dumbass

[LxStarx]

@ozzihaka it's actually called both. one title is in brackets after the other (forgot which). And Hoff is FAR less of a waste of oxygen than Howie

[brenumusiclife]

@wolffire007 its a phil collins song dude, not elton john

[Bumzuabua123]

1:06 for quickstart ;D

[knightzaum]

musica linda ficou uma merda cum esse bosta cantando

[lronPriest0fMetal]

I'm glad america didn't repeat their opera mistake with Evancho/Grimm. I'm not saying opera is a mistake, its great in his own right; however, the music that Matson is making is just completely better.

[XboxNinjaGamer360]

@lronPriest0fMetal Yeah but the year before America made the oppostite mistake of choosing the chicken farmer over the opera singer.

[568popcorn]

LOVE IS ALL WE NEED

[568popcorn]

Do this, pass it on and you are then a soldier of L.O.V.E

[568popcorn]

All you have to do to join the Army of L.O.V.E is . . .

[568popcorn]

Will you join Michael and I in The Army of L.O.V.E?

[wickedlydisturbed]

Fat ass Neil E Boyd should not have won.. Who the fuck cares about opera these days? Eli was the true winner and to me he outperformed Neil through the whole competition. Leave it to dumbass America to make the wrong choice...

[cbrich1985]

Its too bad he comin out now and not 30 years ago cause too many ppl not gona hear it or nobody would know who Elton John was. Everybody too much about the lady gaga and justin beiber to know a real singer when they come out. Love this dude hope he hits it big and i get to see him live. His music moves me

[kerr725]

Amaaziin : ) Nn Well HaandsoOme :D

HoOw Is He NoOh FamoOus Yeh ????? xOoOx

[Zoutje13]

just listen to this song with yours eyes closed,

really fantastic!!

[guyver2095]

He is Just GREAT!. No words for this song.

Greetings from México Eli.

[BornBW]

This is what happens when a rock singer is confused...

[SkyOfLov3]

compare to his first performance, having only a small electric piano, not a big orchestra and a huge fabulous piano, his singing is better and nicer

[Arkanii1]

Blow me away, not that music i listen to, but he is great, really great.

[JulyTheSin]

When is this guy getting famous??

[Linkker]

@JulyTheSin He's got a record deal with Epic Records so yeah, he's signed but maybe not as famous as he should be yet.

[BrianOwennn]

Actually David, the song is called Against all odds, not Take a look at me now. Maybe you'd still be on the show if you payed better attention.

[musketeerman23]

i still dont understand how he didnt win!

[whopperml2]

Never noticed this before, but Both Piers says " you sang a song called Against all odds", while David named it "Take a look at me now" ;)

[rissenbeck]

super star

[saramoo123]

I would love to hear him actually hold a note for longer than 2 secs....

[CobrasVenom]

At the end, did anyone else feel like poking the Hoff and saying "it's Against All Odds dude!"

[FirstVampirePrincess]

AGT goes from bad to worse! some of the contestants this year were HORRIBLE! like crazy lady who couldnt sing or play the piano... Eli should have won last season Neil was good but he didnt have a well developed operatic voice ELI WAS AWSOME!!

[nikieg96]

He was really good on America's got talent. But, he now writes his own songs. I bought an album from him. I am so disappointed. I had really high hopes for his song writing. The music is okay but the lyrics need work.

[nnels54]

Reminds me of Harry Chapin.



[Maldininkasq]

he is a winer, without any doubt there was no justice, he is a winer for me!

[BabyJezuzRape]

@Maldininkasq winer? do you mean winner...?

[Blackhawk5656]

he should have won

[iloveEli89]

he sings it so perfectly way better then the original

[MattieJeevas2201]

@iloveEli89 He has an amazing voice that's for sure <3~

[wmovalle]

Kind of a cross between Elton John and Harry Connick Jr.

[Adianne15]

I love your voice!!!! I from panama I think you are incredible!!! Amo tu voz, espero que seas una gran estrella!!!! bless

[sarenessann]

hey, did he win?? I really think he deserved it!

[n1pbfan]

@sarenessann He got second

[839dilly]

He is AMAZING!!

There is so much depth and soul in his voice...

If he doesn't make it big there is something wrong with the world.

[zippie535]

Eli Mattson you are an angel!

[aesieaiyahcloe]

Became his fan from the time he sings his first song on the show

[seraphie]

He is exeptional! Simply amazing.

[revolutionfrombed]

You are just so talented! Regards from Argentina :)

[cheenie27]

he's my best for the prize than neal boyd.. sorry just my insight

[Greenvalestation360]

Has Eli made an album yet?

[06gixer600]

@Greenvalestation360 he is recording for epic, which is a division of sony music and just released an album not to long ago

[pseudoepigraphi]

Yes he is reminiscent of Elton John. His tone, his breathing, and his cadence. That's a good call by you.

[macealyssa]

His singing gives me goosebumps :)

[sporky69]

thats talent!

[ibrahim2413]

watch this guys................

[inezmaciel]

FA_BU_LOUS !!!!

[mrseaweed1000]

the amount of people who 'likes' it says it all. 688-20. he is amazing! has he released an album yet?

[doscorazoness]

thsi mas is awesome!

[AnimalsAddiction]

Neil E. Boyd does not deserve to win!

[pantelitsa37]

Get overit Florina Opera is extremely difficult to sing and Boyd not only sang it well he nailed it. Eli is a great musician but his style is a niche market - not many ppl can relate to it. Boyd deserved to win... I can appreciate both types of music which I'd why I purchased both CDs

[florina965]

@pantelitsa37

For your records, my friend, I am an international Opera singer. So, you don't know real music.

[iheartunotreally]

@florina965 Hmm.. Dont mean to be rude, but everyone has a different genera of music they prefer. I have an opera singer in my family, and since I prefer to sing things OTHER than opera I am criticized all the time. Getting people to understand your point of view might be easier if you understand everyone has a preference :D

[florina965]

Neal Boyd did a very bad job with the Opera. He did so many mistakes !... He looked ridiculous!!! And he won ! Those who have voted for him are not educated at all ! They don't know shit about classical music. And Mattison , is a genius , a rare talent ! Doing 2 jobs in the same time ! He respected all the laws of music. And he was voted off!!! A huge mistake!!! I hate to see this !

I CANNOT TRUST AMERICA !!

[KatelynRenee4920]

No Hat? :(

[pantelitsa37]

Neal E Boyd won

[silentsoul92]

who won the show ??

[LiindaBieber]

@silentsoul92 Neal E. Boyd

[CandiSanti]

vienas mėgstamiausių atlikėjų

[Kasparatr1ksas]

Mano ir.

[Commonkid50]

i think he fades his voice in and out to much

[natycaramelo]

Muito talento assisti no Brasil Canal Sony a reprise de 2008 e me encantei.

Watched a lot of talent in Brazil Channel Sony reprise of the 2008 and I was charmed.

[LilithRosesInBlack]

I can't wait to get his new CD

[BigHeartedBrit]

Eli definitely should of won, I was so sad when he didn't :(

[TheBassCreater]

but he still got signed with sony records, so i think he's happy

[klongs]

If you just listen and don't watch he kinda sounds like Elton John now

[cureloms]

@klongs except that this song is by phil collins. 

[klongs]

@cureloms Yea, I know... and I was saying his voice sounds like Elton John...

[cureloms]

@klongs I agree.

[Blackinsifuns]

@klongs Yea, was gonna write that :P

[gators4me2]

@klongs Wikipedia references Elton John as one of his influences. I noticed that, too. Pretty neat. 

[troyboi1987]

@klongs yea totaly

[waterpolo202020]

iremember stealing all my friends phone's that night cause i kept voting. I was so mad when he didnt win. =[

[the69ryin]

sad, use all your friend credit, yeh i wish he won to

[pstarf]

he sounds a lot like rob thomas

[Hotshot679]

See, pittresident, it's like this, when you make a derogatory comment to somebody else, make sure at the bare minimum that all YOUR words are spelled correctly because otherwise it makes YOU look like the asshole, or "asshat" as in your remark.

On a positive note, Eli Mattson is a terrific performer!

[BallForLife24]

@Hotshot679 Your comment is the very definition of "ownage". Just thought I should let you know...LOL xD

[nhboy1234]

@Hotshot679 he is a great performer he voice in great



[nhboy1234]

@Hotshot679 he is a great performer he voice is great

[MartytheMarty]

He deserved to win.

[ClaudieCarreon]

Just saw all your vids, I absolutely love your voice. Gave me goosebums and that rarely happens to me.

From Belgium, with love ;)

[pittresident]

What are goosebums? I've never heard of goosebums. That isn't even a word is the dictionary.

[FreeThinkChooseLife]

@pittresident "Word is the dictionary".... Next time you get on here and try and correct someone, you should learn some proper fucking grammar and sentence structure, you dumb cock sucker.

[sayenshin]

HAHAHAHA!!!

[Karumachan]

@pittresident

maybe if you checked the dictionary first

[sayenshin]

LOL!

[CandiSanti]

labai labai graži daina ;)

[Songsmirth]

He is excellent. Just sounds too much like Elton John. Very heartfelt singing.

[SpoonYourself]

He's kinda like superman, using his cap as a disguise :)

[eliezeralpr]

que difici es decidir quien gana una competencia donde hay tanto talento ... yo como juez no sabria que hacer honestamente...

[krazacg83]

I just love how humble he is in general...the boy's got talent...really wish he would have won

[jasonlee180]

PLEASE, if anyone knows where i can get the mp3 of this song, please reply it to me here. PLEASE :'(

[congunners]

his best eva performance in my opinion. anyone know if he has an album out?

[archssm87]

I can't believe how good he is! Whenever anyone asks me who's your fav. singer his name the first that comes to my mind though I like a lot of singers, stupid record labels that haven't sign with him yet !!!!!!!!

[lettus3]

[51Amygirl]

ELI IS THE BEST ^^

[sayenshin]

Something that would propulse his career would be to sign for Disney's animation movies, to realize the soundtrack!

[TheGreatOne97]

he has a better voice then celebirti, he should of won :)

[31emeralds]

I believe he is signed with the Epic division of Sony and will have an album out in 2010. Congratulations Eli!!! Best wishes to you and your family :)

[ki6eki]

still unsigned :[

[basboosa]

he should have gone to american idol..he could have gotten much more exposure and made alot mor connections there

[SpoonYourself]

But he would miss his piano :/

[congunners]

amazing voice, brilliant on the show and i truly hope he goes on to have a successful career. good luck eli

[MrPoldi1987]

AMAZING!!!

[BlackFlames54]

[raulox71]

Eli Mattson is the best AGT contestant since this show exist.

[abotti17]

Along with Terry Fator

[raulox71]

I agree.

[mlbest116]

AWESOME! I wish I were watching the show last year...just now getting to hear you! You have the entire package...the good looks (look like a young Scott Baio) and you have your own original sound....LOVE your voice! Where can I buy your album?

[st3v3nftw]

how did this guy lose to neal e boyd? that guy doesn't have the "skill" hes just a guy ppl feel sorry for.. no talent. This guy has something special, his voice is truely incredible, there is no words for it.

[nikolindeda]

are u dump or something stubit ass???? eli is a great star!!

[AriaOfTelengard]

There is no irony in cyberspace. The misspelling is intentional as is unchecked anonymous aggression. The only comeback you have is a firm 'LOL.'

[JustifiedCrime]

His timing is not off; he just sings songs in his original,very respectful way.He makes songs to fit to his own,great style. person,who does´nt know anything about music,like obviously you don´t...well, my advice is:Shut the hell up!
