Eli Mattson Sings If I Ain't Got You - Top 20 Performance

[gracellev]

In my opinion, the best version sung by a guy.

[GonzoInthefoot]

4:43

<3// a girl

[TomoLfc08]

murdered tha that song

[calvinstrying]

man that was actually hard to watch. i expected better.

[krismagician]

240p... we meet again...

[sfbuddie]

and he's purdy.... 

[KBWB5]

the best fucking version of this song i've heard! shit gave me goosebumps motherfuckers

[CardsWSChamps06]

I am not hearing what everybody is loving... sorry

[seansocheap]

@CardsWSChamps06 I get what you're saying, it's cuz he doesn't hold out his notes and it doesn't really show off his voice but if you pay real attention to his tone, you can tell its definitely special and talented. Personally, I would have liked it if he held out his notes and sang more legato than staccato. But his voice is definitely unique, great song choice :D

[JayJayAwesome]

@CardsWSChamps06 I agree,

[Mark6024]

Reminds me very much of Michael Grimm. Not the sound or the genre, but the soul and the skill level.

[CoraCandyland]

@Mark6024 yeah he kinda does but this guy was 2 years before michael grimm :)

[SuperGG1972]

this guy is on top! what a voic

[maria160190]

ELI YOU ARE THE BEST.

[B2stSHINeeRainMBlaq]

my most favorite singer and piano player. =)

hehe and OMG his laugh!!!

[maune98]

I know you! My moms boyfriend is your old friend! 0.o

[SabrinaBella36]

@maune98

lol! That's pretty awesome! :P

[maune98]

@SabrinaBella36 Thanks!

[AKCherryGirl7]

I dont have facebook but I want him on ELLEN TOOOO!!! He is amazing :D Walking in memphis was my fave

[xRequiem90x]

His singing in this specific song sounds waaaaay too forced imo.

[MrJamest3333]

This guy is an amazing artist, so talented, outstanding.

[michaelatm2603]

Eli Mattson, you are my idol. I wish i could play and sing like you.

[haz4884]

Does anyone know if he has a CD???

[jsuperposeg]

a young elton John

[alyx19]

you are the piano man!!

[CiZination]

1:16 ... I just keep clicking this. :0

[GilrF]

hE SINGS SO WELL, I LOVE HIS VOICE, HE SINGS WITH SO MUCH TALENT AND PLAYS TOO PIANO AND ALL.. WOW..

[Poguette]

Eli was robbed on amgt... He is so talented and soulful

[corysgirl69]

OMG Keys step aside...straight down amazing!!!

[MrBigblack62]

bad song, alicia keys already ripped this song to its fullest. dude can sing though, just not this

[kikmyjimi]

It's not about hitting notes, it's about having a unique voice, most great vocalists can't hit notes, they just have unusually amazing voices. That's what it's all about.

[zephyrd2007]

omg.. this man's singing puts me in such a pleasant mood.. I love it!

[isenberg31]

outstanding love it

[rachelheartsdrama]

he shouldnt have sung that song ):

[AlexTehGr8]

Sounds like he's putting on a voice

[shykneejessie]

@AlexTehGr8 Yeah I agree....i can't seem to like him yet...his voice is distinct, that's really the only upside i can think of.

[heettreet]

@shykneejessie i felt the same way, till i put earphones on him,,, then ,,wow ,,, he's better than i thought

[jaylei101]

GO wisconsin :D and eli is amazing so talented

[reiguav1]

4:45 WTF

[Rp33z3y]

wow you guys are all hypnotized and in sympathy of him. just because you feel bad for him doesn't mean he should be famous. honestly, listen to his voice, it doesnt sound good. he hits like 10 good notes.

[benny325]

@Rp33z3y He sounds shit hot dont knock him listen to him singing walking in menphise

[superhaloman1000]

@Rp33z3y I can respect your opinion. however, I think you should be keeping your opinions to yourself and leave the decisions of whos got talent up to the judges, who actually know what they are talking about.

[amazinggreen]

this song was not good for him at all

[SeboZax7]

His piano is awesome.

[ashleyv189]

he's a great pianist but he's not a good enough singer seriously,there are so many people trying to make it that are better than him and its really frustrating

[armenianply]

very classy tipping his hat to pierce eli is a class act.

[11princess14]

omg im in love

[iqkid1212]

wow you're piano playing is great!

[CelineCrazy1]

I remember watching this episode and my dad walking in asking if he was a special guest. He couldnt believe this guy isnt famous and I dont really understand either.

[zippie535]

I'm in love Eli is the first singer I have ever heard that has moved me emotionaly just by his voice, he brought tears to my eyes I have never heard a voice with more power or emotion in all my life I love music and now I love Eli mattson.

[ROCKONGI]

i want see him in Colombia!!

[JcMv2121]

Amo a este tipo..!

[2handsforchrist]

Sharon hit it on the head, his lower register was a bit weak and I did feel this wasn't a good song choice from the judges.

[heettreet]

@2handsforchrist ya , i see what you're saying ,the noisy theater also does not help ,,but all contestants have to deal with that ,,,,,but ,with my earphones on , it's not bad at all , ps , i wondered of songs would come back with words that mean something and move the listener ,,, that he does in spades , and , yes , it was not a very good song choice ,,don't know if it was his own chioce though, thanks for the comment , it was real

[MrsBrooks1000]

love your music even though you didnt win bring that voice to the world

[rovert40]

Sharon knows her music.

[TheKamils136]

whats the song??

[Mathieu0017]

@TheKamils136 You didnt read the title before clicking on the video, did you ?

[pyrofightr1]

We want this album!

[vafadaridoroghe]

i,m not american,and i don,t speak english good,but eli is best i think,tnx

[imgointoprison]

this guys got amazing talent i think eli should have won AGT '08 but Neal Boyde did do an amazing job with nessun dorma

[ILDON99]

he is the best

song?

[1997retired]

Eli is fantastic! I am twice as old as him, and have been around the world, but I haven't ever had the gift of hearing his wonderful voice. It captured me, and now it won't let go! Awesome!

Kindest regards,

Steve

[xbonezds]

Da d00d is a genius, y'all!

lol....talented guy. I love it how he doesn't have a backing track or any distractions. Just his genius.

[eillie9]

i love his voice and i love the song

y he's not the winner!!!???

[youpitop]

!!!

[garrity5]

how is he not signed? his voice is incredible, it is insane

[mysteryloser24]

I dont think that the song choice was right for his voice. But hey, I'm no proffesional, and that guy can really sing. I think it was just the song that was wrong for him. He though, is amazing.

[mikedamiz12180]

If I owned a record label he would be at the top of my list to sign.

[madu86]

well that's prob why you don't have one

[littlekiwimarilou05]

SAME FOR ME!

[mininicke]

Is so fucking great.....

[lsmalplz]

What can I say? I want more Eli Mattson! Bring on that next CD!

[int3l88]

do u?

[Eufrozina85]

Well, you do, honey, obviously.

[mlbest116]

Eli is working on many things right now including a brand new website and recordings!!!! There are great things to come from Eli. To follow him and get the latest Eli news, find Eli on Twitter and Facebook!

[MsMagtens]

I really cant see why ppl think that this is so bad? I think this is just as brilliant as all the other songs he chose..

[kelvin86k]

in my opinion it was his worst act in that show, but he is brilliant

[warriorchick1506]

his voice kind of reminds me of Elton John. I think he will be huge!

[oathkeepper94]

he was on "America's Got Talent" last year, he made it to the finals, but Neal E Boyd won instead.

[spiteri71]

It is a blessing that he did not win AGT cos he would have been stuck in Vegas indefinately. This guy is going GLOBAL!!

[juneamy]

@spiteri71 he sure is!!!

[cambuchaG]

awesome!!!!!

[whh01]

You can go to Amazon . com and put Eli Mattson in and

BUY HIS CD...

[skarrab22]

He's a terrific performer. No doubt. I just wish Simon Cowell was here to grope for criticisms. I bet he can't! haha! goojob, brah.

[brugmig]

When your hear Eli's version of any song, then all other versions are shit !!

He is amazing, and he got that kind of voice that I can listen to all day long!! :D ELI!!

[alvinchong99]

Then support him here and everywhere you see him online...execs cant touch you there

[deborahnails]

I dont get it!! Why is he not signed????????

Truely amazing!!!!!

[pubuman]

Because modern record labels don't give a shit about talent - it's all about record sales and image placement and all that crap - true musicians hardly get signed these days!

[xxMinseok]

He does have a CD out.

[PRnavyboy24]

i have been over seas for quite some tome and i didnt even know this guy was around until i heard him hear. eli if you ever come out with a CD i will most definitly buy it. your amazing and i hope to hear more from you!!!

[VCandmeVC]

omg im from the UK and i didn't know there was already a winner! i had high hopes for this guy though.

[blend1100]

Same, it's kind of annoying that Itv 2 shows this a year after it has happened. Anyway, he will get far and will hopefully get signed by a major record label. He is amazing.

[doditz69]

i agree but he did won anyway he's gonna be sticking around the music for a long time now :)

[OvechkinAlexFan]

ELI  IS THE BEST he should have one

[superdesertprincess]

i just ordered his cd on amazon...He has an amazing voice not to mention how humble he seems. Best of luck!

[fabapoznan]

jego glos jest jak persen :)

[agagus1992]

Ciekwe skojarzenie ;) Jak dla mnie to za dużo takich 'pauz' robi, ale Walking in Memphis jest świetne :))

[rose8489]

[supersmashing87]

[Defossion]

Handsome, well-spoken, plays piano, sings like a star, and loves his momma.

What's not to like?

[sportsinger]

i would buy a cd from him

[Hatchieeeeee]

he has a cd at amazon ^^ he is brilliant

[briggs9187]

this was the wrong song for him to sing....it was a bit off...he is good but I did not like his version

[sportiegirl102]

r u kidding i love this version its beautiful. its 1 of my favorite songs that he sings.

[briggs9187]

I am not saying that he is bad or anything if anything, he is too good to do not have a contract yet....he should be in his 3-4 album already, but I just did not like his version of this song

[sportiegirl102]

k i do c ur point srry btw do u know where i could get his cd?

[ghs57]

haha I like listening to this guy sing...but how in the world does that mean he deserves lots of money and a good life?

[DontMakeMeBlueBaby]

why doesnt he deserve it? he worked hard and hes very talented. isnt that exactly what makes you worth something?

[tiggyx2]

I really love this guy! He has an amazing talent!

[lilysasaki]

I really hope he can make a lot of money, he really really deserves it. He deserve a good life with his amazing talent

[lilysasaki]

where can I buy his CD ?!

[kaielyn2004]

I was there in the audience! TV really doesn't do Eli justice he is soooo amazing in person!

[foosbeast]

His eyes. His face. His voice, goddam. Love.

[qtpie8385]

I could listen to Eli sing this over and over!!! Amazing Talent!

[yahboy25]

This isnt the best song for him.

[mne1205]

Why he only came in second is a travisty. At least Sony signed him.

[Sketchers11]

Such a humble and gracious human being...how endearing was that when he took off his cap to Piers?

[gambinotoo]

Still great! Thought maybe i was just caught up in it all, now after months I am positive that was not the case! What now Eli???

[radley136rath]

Eli is amazingly talented, humble, and gorgeous. God puts people like you on this earth to remind us that everything isnt evil. You have the voice that makes peoples heart smile. I hope life is good to you.

[RollinSton321]

uhh oh hasselhoffs drunk again

[ant67hony]

unbelievable.more talent in his little finger than i could ever hope to have,god bless you eli

[nonx2nonx2]

I've been thinking that a girl who was, or is, or will be loved by Eli is the luckiest in the world...

[bravo4205]

This guy is fantastic and puts most of the artists in the charts to shame, awesome!

[titansmommy]

DITTO!

[2butterflygirl2]

[podgy5]

freaking amazing...i don't even know how to BEGIN to explain it! words are so useless when it comes to how amazing eli is!

[actor123456789]

Eli, Forgot the singing for a second, the piano playing was amazing, I play piano myself and the song is so hard to play and you sang the song and played it incredibly amazing.

[dotdotdotyoyoyo]

You should have won! You're amazing!

[jlhyndman]

He's going to have a long career in music.

[oathkeepper94]

Eli ur kool!! Eli Mattson all the way ^_^

[KG84JP]

the way you sing songs is so different... so fresh... :)

[actor123456789]

you are incredible, i loved it

[captain6387]

When I first heard this I wasn't sure I liked it that much. Now it's stuck in my head, you brought something to it that just took a few times listening to before it came through. Great job, Eli. Don't doubt yourself, you're brilliant.

[ElfBoyProduction]

A legend in the making

[unusualcatperson]

There's no "making" about it. He's there.

[goddessoffearXlll]

the way you sang and played this song is a lot better than alicia keys. (my opinion anyway!)
