Bobby Caldwell with Elliot Yammin sitting in - Japan

[nanaslbkp]

I love this version of Bobby's song! Came here to listen because of the advice of a friend....sure glad I did! Thanks so much for sharing. ♥

[paulwelleno]

So Cool!

[MDABE80]

Nice nice nice...

[micvelo]

When the Idol gets intro'd and gets to perform the original artist's *trademark song* WITH him, well, doesn't get much better than that, yes? Very nice.

[RIEH54]

This is one great performance. Elliot really steps out, and Bobby is always amazing.

Elliot remains to be my favorite among the American Idol contestants! He's just so gifted!

[hawaiidream1]

Elliott totally stole the show. I love when he sang this on Idol, but this just blows even that out of the water . This is Elliot's style and he needs to come out with an album with this kind of music. I think he'd do quite well!

[MsKharisma]

They are like father and son singing love it

[mikekelly64]

That was great! maybe just don't move around so much, but The Voice is amazing!

[LLLph]

jamin' yamin stole d'show - remarkable voice dude!

[tv11silverton]

A real treat to see Bobby letting Elliot take the band and his classic for a ride. Kudos brother!

[socworld01]

Bobby Caldwell is an original just like Elliott Yamin. Elliott gives this song a fresh update and love his voice and flavor that he adds to this classic song. I can't wait for Elliott Yamin to hit it "BIG" like he so richly deserves.

[socworld01]

While I like Bobby Caldwell and he has been at this for a long time, Elliott Yamin's voice and flavor take it to a whole other level. Just love Elliott's version.

[zzbmg2001]

Elliot sounds GRRRREAT here....nie job my brotha

[zzbmg2001]

Bobby..get the last name right my man..lol

[zzbmg2001]

freaking amazing...Elliot, sing some songs lie\ke THIS..seriously...

[amzdesigner]

SMOKIN'!!!!!

WAY TO GO ELLIOT YOU'VE GOT A REAL FUTURE.

[yabbee]

ソウルフル!!黒人みたい

[grytlappar]

Elliott's solo part in the beginning is UNBELIEVABLE. Man can he sing. What a gorgeous, gorgeous voice.

[mcpaulyb]

This kid has a sick voice. AMAZING talent.

[FamilyCasting]

Love Elliott! He finally starts singing at 1:52 after all the banter.

[huntingtonparkway]

@FamilyCasting I just skip to that part. Great isn't it. The guy is great to let him sing this great and classic song with him. I hope someone told him later he pronounced Elliot's name wrong.

[meravilhao]

great song and a great performance!

[maxx3442]

Great vid EXCEPT the whole mispronouncing of Yamin and the Come On Out Buddy! stuff.

Elliott does belong in cool jazz...he kills it!

[mililanimama]

I agree with gentleradical. Elliot's rendition of "Moody's Mood" and "What You Won't Do For Love" is solid!

[gentleradical]

I think Elliot would sell more cd's if he changed genre. He's meant to do jazz. His version of "Moody's Mood for Love" that he did during Idol was my favorite Idol contestant performance of all time. Of course I'm biased because Smokey Robinson does the song also, which I LOVE.

Anyway, it's amazing to see two guys I enjoy of the same stage. Bobby's voice is our family's favorite!

[modheshka]

Have seen and heard this a hundred times, but I still get goosebumps! Go Elliott!

[vardoegers]

I got respect for Caldwell being the one to pen the song 'n all, but he really should have let Yamin have at it.

[HipHopRally]

@vardoegers

agreed. Elliot made him look foolish lol

[huntingtonparkway]

Yeah not pronouncing his name right is embarrassing.

[Pryncenyck]

Like i don't know who is this guys management ,he's clearly a soulful cat and most of his album is pop top 10 radio sounding..elliot is more of a soulful crooner ..Elliot change your camp..and do more of this stuff.

[lisaesca426]

Elliot's voice is amazing..He has so much soul!

[Pryncenyck]

I don't like bobby's background vocalist..well there's this one female with a high pitched vocal that kinda sounds screethcy ...other than this fantastic rendition by Elliot,he needs to make a album with that sound...this is his element.

[tenorbear60]

Sang Elliott!

[ElegantPaws01]

Bobby is classy. That was truly classy, Mr. Caldwell.

[diehlcarol]

Oh Pa leese Elliott Ya min , give me a break

1

[bionicmarge]

just amazing!!!!

[cookiedeeh]

Geez why didnt anyone tell Bobby how to pronounce Elliot's name??? Come on dude..

[cookiedeeh]

OMG I love Elliot Yamin! He sounds AMAZING! Keep singing Elliot... Keep releasing albums. We loooove you! This man is one of reasons I even watch A.I.---I couldnt bear to miss out on a singer like this!

[maamette]

so COOL, love the vibe

[sherreed]

i don't know why he has not sold as many albums like the other idols. he s got a very good rich voice

[yumimer]

I am and will always be a FAN of ELLIOTT YAMIN....

[happyredpanda]

Yay, this makes me happy. During AI5 I had wanted Elliott to sing this song, then some weeks after Paula Abdul picked it for him to sing for Top 3 week, heee.

[huntingtonparkway]

This is such an ama zing performance. The person who posted it should label it different so it would be easier to find and get more viewers. Elliot is really an amazing singer. He should have won American Idol.

[elliottisastar]

I wish he would have said Elliott's name correctly. Elliott is AMAZING. Too bad he couldn't have sung a longer version on Idol. He made this song better than the original.

[opendoor50]

This is GREAT.Please put it on an album.

[dongato90]

This proves Paula was right when she chose ths song for Elliott Yamin to sing. He killed it!!! Love seeing these two on stage together!

[happyandmissy]

Oh, wow! I'll bet that band hated to see Elliott leave the stage. He just keeps getting better and better and better! Shame on the Season 5 American Idol voters; Elliott should have won!

[FamilyCasting]

LOVE the scatting at 5:57

[nickyey09]

Amazing!!!! Elliott is the truth. It kills me that people are sleeping on this man. Bobby and Elliott-Classic. Elliott recording an all classic album is a wonderful idea that I hope will come to pass one day. Loved it.

[pegasus5112]

Thank you for this vid...hopefully, Elliott will record an all classic song album!! So much talent!!

[planegirl]

Awesome to hear and see Elliott singing with Bobby Caldwell. He must have been in 7th heaven. I loved Elliott singing this song on Idol, and I love this too.

Thanks for the great video!!! More people need to see and hear the awesomeness of Elliott Yamin!

[CathyEM]

THANK YOU for posting this -- what a gem! And I'm squeeing over Elliott all over again!!

[shellcad]

Elliott just gets better and better. Thanks for sharing the video!! It was great. It must have been great for him to sing with Mr. Caldwell

[sunnyFL1950]

smoking' HOT!!! Love you Elliott :)

[FamilyCasting]

sigh! Elliott

[chattycb]

Love this! Love Elliott! Thanks for uploading this performance!

[nanassetta]

Looks like Elliott is having fun!

[almtm]

Elliott is awesome.....best new singer out there.

[siba0116]

Thanks for uploading!!!love it!!!

At 2:51, 3:14, 4:08 and 4:31, Bobby has altered the the chord progession from the way he orignally did it. I heard him do this live first time in Seattle with these amended changes and did not care for it as much. I believe people love it just as he originally recorded it. Bobby must think it needs a new spin on it. I think Elliots singing on this was good considering just being called up on stage like that.

[lclaughton]

On the Idol performance, one of the judges thought he did not sing this song that well. I went back and listend to it and I have to admit his voice had some intonation issues. But this time in this performance, he was right on! Elliot you are only getting better!
