He was born with this gift, and blessed with a Mother who loved and understood him. We are all so fortunate that he is using his talents in such positive ways. I just love him.
I'm sure many won't agree with me, but I think Elliot Yamin is the greatest contestant ever! He was robbed of the AI title. I really am shocked and amazed that America let him down in the end. I voted so many times for him, and ever since this show I've always thought Katherine or Taylor could shine his shoes. Certainly, I think in the end America really let him down. Why didn't you vote for him, America? Why?????
i think carroe nailed this one, but he also did a good job, but carrie's version of this song is one of the best performance ever that happened on the idol stage...
Make your music like this Elliot!! Yes love songs are great and you are superb at singing them, but you need your hit to be a song that can make people feel upbeat and dance to it.
You heard Tommy Mottola...raspy and rough & tumble. See,this is why Elliott does it for me. He sings like a man oughta. He can tear the lid off a rowdy-ass number like this then turn around a break your heart with a soul searing ballad. So many of the greatest singers have this special quality.
You know I always though Elliott could sing well but felt he was boring in his performances. But I LOVED this performance, I think he took some pointers from his roommate on this one.
Thank you for posting, this was by far the best performance on American Idol ever - and there is a reason why you hear so much about Eliot today and why not about the actual winners....he was , along with Clay, the best voice on Idol
Yes, but why choose Taylor when he is the least marketable of all AI winners so far?? Elliot and Katharine are more versatile (and selling just as much as Taylor is).

im tellin you now, the mysterious they, know who they are gonna choose to win. regardless what the phone in adds up to. im tellin you, they aint gonna invest millions in a contestant that might get through on some popularity contest. i mean, mr blobby was at number 1 in the charts, right said fred, etc,etc. they aint gonna leave it up to the general public with millions at stake. having said that, mr blobby did rock!! Not!! well, mabey a little bit! like a chair with 3 legs
I agree Simon ... Elliot did "deserve to go on to the next round". Damn, I definately say he deserved to go on be the WINNER OF AMERICAN IDOL ! BIG TIME!
This was without a doubt one of his best performances. What I admired most about Elliot Yamin and what made him in a class all by himself was the degree of complexity in the songs he chose. His vocals were always impeccable but the songs he chose like Melinda Doolittle were always tougher than those chosen by the other contestants.
Elliott is hands down THE best male voice AI has ever had..He didn't win the contest because he wasn't popular, it's all about pop appeal and commericalism (is that a word?). They don't care that he has SOUL, and that he is the TRUTH!!
THIS IS A TRUE THING!!PASTE THIS MESSAGE INTO 3 COMMENTS AND HIT ALT F1 AND YOUR CRUSSHES NAME WILL APPEAR!!it will be a little scary at first but its cool!!!
Not so much as stage presence, but more importantly, he has, hands down, better vocals than Taylor and McPhee. Without votefortheworst website, Taylor might not have been in the finals, or indeed the even top 5.
Im glad he didnt win, As he would have been taken down the "Pop album route" to apeal to ALL audiences, Now a year later, Hes albums out to day which features top-notch R&B real music!
oh, he's so sexy here
