Eli Mattson America's Got Talent Top 10 Performance

[aliang95]

elton is eminems mentor....

[NateDaGreat1458]

he rocked walking in memphis

[MyCommentsMatter1]

His problem was he chose the most overplayed boring songs possible. Out of all the amazing elton john songs he picked the most typical. I would have loved to hear Bennie and the Jets, if not that ANYTHING to atleast see some energy on the stage.

[amylady222]

could he be any more charming!

Really wish he won!!

[QueenToKingOfSpades]

@link281615 Thanks! :D

[reefull]

unbelievable

[SuperMoonside]

Awesome, I hope all the beautiful women who have broken up with there significant others, know how to say sorry!!!

[idaho777]

7 people like justin bieber

[DanieleBecchetti]

...i think Sir Elton John would be proud of his performance.

[jwoodworth28]

Why does the sound quality suck on every single one of his videos?

Also, Neil won my heart with his version of Nessun Dorma, but this man is incredibly talented; If there ever should have been a tie on AGT, this should have been it.

[cory1438]

he really puts that passion into his songs

[babblenator]

i think i have found the only person in the world that could sing an elton john song, usually when you have someone sing it there voice just doesn't fit with the song but with this guy sang this elton john song i was amazed by how well his voice and passion went so well with this song

[ugliestalmanac4]

Thanks for posting the clip. I loved the last episode, just saw online at lastnightstvshows (.) com

[TheCharismaKing97]

im british and watching this. looked him up and see hes got an album out soon. Hopefully i can get it some way on the internet because he is awesome and is just a small cut below Elton John

[zippie535]

My brother! I have got to tell you, god gave you a gift and he gave it to you with the palm of his own hand because your voice can only be discribed as hevenley. You have a voice that without even using words for your songs you could bring tears to the worlds eyes and move mountans. you are the singer and the only one Elton jhon who was replaced on my top with you would be proud. I find it a privlige to hear your voice. I thank you from every inch of my heart.

[armenianply]

if anything he should of gone on american idol.

[bpfastfeet25]

Eli, I hope by some small chance that you read this. You are fantastic and this is my favorite performance of all the AGT performances. Absolutely flawless.

[innosins]

Actually it isn't... Paul Potts won in '07... this is '08..

[Nightwing20]

the ONLY reason why he lost... is because this was the year Paul Potts won over in Britain's Got Talent... so the Opera singer would win here in America. Producers dont know dick.

[Trouble82491]

i <3 ELI!! i think he deserved to win but im glad he didnt so he can now tour and get on with his music career and not be stuck to AGT....

eli will always be #1 in my book!! :)

[F3IJ04]

He's a little more than what i would call 'amazing'! but i've never seen him without a hat!

[pokermmaman]

@F3IJ04 check out the finale

[florina965]

He is doing 2 jobs in the same time. That's very hard to do. He is amazing pianist !!!!!

[imgointoprison]

holy cow the raw emotion on his face is just........ i cant even disgribe it. its insane how talented he is God truely has blessed him

[MIssZBLUEdoll]

well i juss got back from his show && it was uhh'mazing.!!!!! =)

[1997retired]

Eli, this is one of my favorite songs, and you totally blew me away with your most heart-felt rendition! May God grant you and yours every happiness!

Kindest regards,

Stephen

[kaoridesigns]

he sings amazingly and he's also very good looking. perfect combination I might say :)

[babymac34]

I looooove him :D

[Jarheads4life719]

I love Eli and think he's ridiculously amazing but he's definately not better than elton john lets not get crazy.... and btw i think Billy Joel is up there as number one tied with elton john!

[djbirchs21]

phil collins is better than both them 2

[Jarheads4life719]

waiiiiit a minute i love phil collins and dude is ridiculously talented on the piano but id definately put him at a 3rd spot behind billy joel and elton competing for number one, billy and elton are definately more skilled but phil collins is still top 3-5 piano players out there!

[heettreet]

@Jarheads4life719 i respect your opinions ,,,,,,, but you can talk forever and never will conviince me that ,, ELTON , IS NOT KING ,,,, comparisons are a pain in the ass ,, so have fun

[38sydsdad]

Go Cheesehead!

[D0IS3N]

ROFL! Why are you people downing this?! He's from WI you know. Cheesehead? Packers? Put 2 & 2 together.

[DonAlfee]

better than Elton's imo.

[MzSpinelli]

Im a big elton john fan but this guy KILLED this song...LOVE him and his voice

Hes MY winner you ROCK ELI!!!

[tom01970]

this kid is amazing

[kajeczka48]

[Man331076]

can wait for his cd...

[hillionkam]

Just four words:Eli Mattson Should Won!

[Homozaltys]

absolutly fantastic! Myliu Tave,Eli!!! ;)

[tomshorter1]

Elton is bloody good, and im grade 8 too

however... every single person i play eli to (which is alot) they love him so so soooooo much.

He really should have won and god hes good

[Melchior742]

1. Eli should have won.

2. He sings and played this version better than Elton John.

[mesoropi]

@Melchior742 you can't say this cause Elton John is a legent for music!!!!!!!

[NidgetBrit]

i love how happy he gets when they compliment his piano playing

[D0IS3N]

I love this cover of one of my favorite songs of Elton. Eli, you're an amazing pianist, a good singer, & you can jump musical genres. Keep it up man!

[p0kerfreak]

@ all you people. this was LAST YEAR! he came second though.

Did anyone find it strange that the judge said America must avoid sympathy votes, and then THAT'S WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED! they sympathized with the fat opera singer...

[trojanfeline]

what is really sad is that the fat guy didn't need our sympathy-- he had already sang at carnegie hall before entering this competition and was already singing opera. it's a load of crap that the show portrayed him as unknown and self-trained because none of that was true. the fat guy won for his acting.

[int3l88]

regardless Eli would get a record deal anway... he honestly dont need that... only so far u can take opera eli can get realy big

[trojanfeline]

A year later Eli remains unsigned

[MissxMehh]

this guy is FITT !!!!

i hope he wins (: x

[coolpichu21]

This was last year, He unfortunetley lost

[larryglass61]

he is great and happy for his good fortune but please don't call the opera singer the fat one...there is already enough hurtful things in this world so let us be kind and try and see how we would feel if the shoe was on our foot..that is just how i feel.

[1yuraku1]

i believe this guy has already won it he just doesn't know it yet.... hes so talented ...if he miss's out on first place some will sign him... u watch...

[cyryac]

i'm sorry but he did not win, the fat one won. he was runner up and got signed by a big music compagny

[cyryac]

you're great, i cannot remember the last time i felt that way. all the best for the future. please i want some more. love you

[vshart]

Eli !!!!!! U R the PIANOMAN!

[Korin145]

Eli's arrangement of Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word is by far my favorite. I prefer it even more than Elton John's original arrangement.

[NikCoke19]

one of the best artist i've seen...no comment..emotion..sensibility.­..10x from romanai eli!

[whickwolf1]

I think he's wonderful. He has his own style & voice...he don't really "imitate" anyone....which I think is making it in the music business.

[ladybug85]

he sounds a lot lik shawn mullins when he talks. i'd love to hear him sing *Lullaby*.

[maivtsu]

this guy irks the F***outta me...what a most feminine man I've ever seen.CHeck his reactions when the judeges tell him he's"phenomenal"--like they boosted his ego up to high heavens and he's never heard compliments like that before. Made him feel good...becus maybe he had been told otherwise in the past. LMAO!!!!

[MichaelUifalusi]

ur an idiot. To be told you have an amazing talent in front of a croud by some of the hardest judges, its an amazing feeling. To me you sound jealous

[souleeze]

I don't usually comment on a guy singing but man this guy is good.

[ellasmummy88]

i love his voice could listen to him for hours

[JCC1923]

And he lost????

[Ebbesjonnie]

Jepp Terry Fatton won it

[mpchebe]

Terry Fator won the previous season... he had absolutely nothing to do with Eli losing this season. Eli was better than Boyd, but when you are starved for screen time and hype, it's hard to come out ahead.

[starrycloud77]

No, Terry was a different season. Neal E. Boyd won this season.

[pubuman]

Neal E Boyd was fucking shit! Just a fat little shit!

[Hananana99]

I love this guy :) my winner !!

[iheartsupernatural]

i totally think either eli or nuttin but stringz should have one...it was a close finish...and i was completely dissappointed with the finale..congrats to the guy that won...but really...who listens to opera?? old ppl?? :(

[ksj1979]

Can't agree more than thenose69. Eli was clearly the best performer...

[thenose69]

does anyone know what Elton's reaction was to this performance? i've looked everywhere, but can't find a thing. thanx------Boyd was good--but a performer like Eli comes along once a decade.

[cmoapat]

Of course he should have won.. Ive actually learned the half of this song lollll ... ok i miss one page but i dont play it as wel as you do. Im hoping the best for you , your life and your carrer. You are AMAZING !!!

[Triinityx]

eli should have won

[KamilaVilela]

Linda voz... Sou do Brasil ameii seu videoo <3

[anderas]

hehe, não falou inglês se phódeu! :p

[kytsky]

english would be nice manners

[PUNKNKAT]

He's amazing. And Gorgeous.

All I can say. lol

[lynnbelford217]

i agree

[raresdk]

He`s from Door County, Wisconsin!!! I`v been there :)

[digitalgear]

overdone .....

[raphaelAKAshowtimelu]

why didn't he fucking win?

[KatieTheWeird]

He's so beautiful. <3

His eyes are so deep.

[solar75wind]

I gave it 5 stars... but singing is indeed a bit overdone. My advice to Eli is to live in the songs, and try to sing as many original interpretations as possible. Sing great songs, but pick the ones where you can give a distinctly unique performance that will not be compared.

[hishaya]

you are very very good :)

keep in going

[cdmarciacd]

I LOVE YOU!

[kellyejean22]

watching this now I think "why didn't he win?"

[lilysasaki]

that is because somehow, a fat man who sings opera is more appealing for WHATEVER the reason. (especially he kept on talking about his grandmother or whatever)

[mohdyusry]

i agree with you that eli should have won not that big cry baby this guy had class and talent of a musician.and he double tasks

[lilysasaki]

God. His voice really makes me cry

[holdhome]

Love this version!

[AlWheelin]

If you were on American Idol you would win!

[AlWheelin]

Eli PUT YOUR MUSIC ON iTunes and I'll buy it all!!!

[salsacya]

[ani2912]

[Menalipa68]

He's super cute and he has an amazing voice!

[hazelnut333]

I wanted to set aside from the fact that he is really handsome and just comment his all sooo amazing voice, but, i mean, that smile, is just..well..his smile is one of the most beautiful smiles i have ever seen...

[darkkanim]

totally agree with you , have a huge crush on him now, wow that smile , i could just look at him all day ....and don't get me started about that voice , the way he sings is just amazing , he really sings from his heart he doesn't just perform , he tells us a story , he's so talented and yet so humble , go Eli you ROCK! GO and be incredibly succesful, may all your dreams come true, you deserve it !

[kswan4christ]

I'm with you girls! He is indeed a beautiful man. His voice stirrs the soul & his smile warms the heart. Pretty hard not to love him!

[animaanimaanima]

americans are dumb

they voted for fat neil boyd

sorry if u dont agree with me

[hurbie28]

The guy below knows nothing at all.

I am from from England and this is fantastic.

If you have nothing good to say dont say nothing at all

[baumstamm3]

how true your words are...

[TKOGNB]

He changed the sytle of the song from "sad" to "Romance"...

The Result??? SUCKS!!!

USA don't know ENGLAND MUSIC!!!

They always make stupid chages on it-_-!!

[IvyPerson22]

Congrats on the Top 5.

[peterparkerfan]

wonderful performance yes! but i loved your expression when sharon told you elton was watching...priceless! and you my friend are priceless. you're going all the way cause there have been bumps and such from the other performers but you have nailed it each and every time. glad that i watched this show this season cause i found a truly remarkable talent in you, eli.

[KG84JP]

this is my favorite song... i wasn't sure somebody can do it better than Elton John.... but you did it... your way is totally different... piano playing was brilliant... your voice incredible... oh my... it was amazing...

[JanekAstek]

you sure can feel your heart in your music

[randynacol2002]

Eli,You have such a great talent.My prayers are with you to win but even if you don't I plan to buy any and all albums you put out. I'm sure you'll get a contract with some music label. It's been along time since I've heard better. Go For It....

[sparkers70]

Eli has become one of my favorite performers -- ever. It takes a very special gift and a very special love for music to pour such heart and soul into a song like that after practicing it hundreds of times.

And that piano playing knocks my socks off. I have a feeling Eli will get to meet Elton John sooner than he imagined. :)

[GaryS1217]

Eli,

Congratulations on making it to the top 5!!!

I've looked online, but don't see where I can

buy your "Monters" CD. Is it available???

Good Luck, I'm behind you...

Gary

[jaybogataj]

Very soon, you'll be the one of the world's greatest pianomans.

Mark my words.

[spencerreidgirl]

[IamTangerine]
