[readingbear1]

omg omg omg YES !!!!

[MrGoodbar1318]

ok elton and eli are both awesome. elton is obviously a god and he paved the way for people like eli. Eli is a modern day elton i luv both and i prefer not rank one or the other but elton was so revolutionary and without elton there wouldnt be people like eli i believe.

[ChrissirhC88]

fucking audience...

[SuperGG1972]

wooooaaaaaaw! this is a voice made by god!

[Sommelier97]

@sjruland

Umm..okay. Don't get me wrong. Eli is nothing short of Awesome but your statement is so far from wrong that wrong is multiplied to the tenth power.

Elton has been around for 40 years and Eil plays at the Ivory Room in Madison, WI

[sjruland]

@Sommelier97 Elton had his "Ivory Room" - To each their own :)

[matkoz]

I wish the audience would just shut up.

[anrad19]

He has his own voice with influences of Elton and Billy...I love you Eli, keep it coming...

[ykhalil11]

i listen to this vid at least once a day...

[XoXstarsweepXoX]

@sjruland I wouldnt say Eli is Better then elton but i would say he has a brilliant voice and should have gone much further then he has in his music career.

[patjhenderson]

your good as me lol watch out ELI I M COMING ON check me out on here tipe in pathenderson all in 1 word god bless :)

[karmaj281]

Anyone know where this guy is these days??? N e live performances would give anything just to see him perform amazing voice amazing musician has to be an amazing person.

[karmaj281]

anyone know where this guy is now so hot such a great musician just wanna hear his voice in presence once

[jakelox]

all you lot commenting on him singing this better than elton john. watch the version he sang at dianas funeral and if you still think this guy is better you need a new pair of ears

[TheManxFella]

A friend in the music industry suggested I take note of this particular performance from Eli Mattson... who I had genuinely never heard of until then (I don't live in the USA). Eli's good, very good, but I think he needs to be careful he doesn't just become a charicature or impersonator of Elton. Eli clearly has a great deal of talent as a Singer/Songwriter in his own right, and needs to move forward with that.

[bennymack514]

actuly i found that song better that Elton John Does!!! WAY BETTER ! HES THE mAN! stun malade sa,,un vrai bon chanteur"

[Mickiecp]

He is also a very skilled piano player!

[ykhalil11]

he is great man...i wanted him to win america's got talent...he deserves something good in his life...

[johnhreid2]

Dude ROCKS!!!!!!!!

[angelbiker19]

He sings with great passion and that alone makes him an awesome singer.

[flaco45caliber]

[matkonas]

I really hope he doesn't become snoby when he becomes rich, like most of the stars. He really has a good hearth, a beautifull voice and stunning talents. Mr. Eli, show the whole world your talents and inspire other people to show off their talents.

God Bless You

[mutzilnosoundl]

I think he's way better than EJ

[PGseanB]

[robocopux]

GREAT VOICE!

[skywolv]

This guy's great!!!! I'd bet he could do all Cohn's and Elton Johns songs better than they did.  Totally unique and moving voice and wonderful piano playing!

[corky7ca]

OK I love Elton John but I have to admit that I think Eli actually does this song better! Does anyone know if he's releasing an album soon?

[Annihilation1919]

one of the best voices in my opinion i love it i wish i could sing like that :(

[mlbest116]

Follow Eli on facebook/twitter.  He updates there!

[tft8030]

quite rude to be talking through his performance, some people simply have no manners.

[notfauxnooz]

He should have won AGT. He is great.

[kicius12345]

incredible voice - boy am I jealous of that talent!

[tomatoface181]

amazingg

[MartytheMarty]

Is his album going to be on iTunes?

[MartytheMarty]

Moving.

[ftp44]

lucky fucks that prob got to see him for like 20 bucks a pop or something.

Total class. I'd pay 300 bucks a pop to see him. But I'd prefer to pay 20 lol.

[chasec0225]

You have a great voice and a wonderful gift. Stay the course and in the mean time I wish you would do Levon. I love the song and when I heard your voice I couldnt believe that it wasnt in your regular material. I think it would be great but I am not a music professional so what do I know. Good Luck.

[tahlme15]

LOVE IT!

[Mgroenbeck]

Oh my!! He sounds just like Elton John.. He is wonderful and I hope he brings his own songs to the table. I guarantee they will be just as good.

[rlmjam37]

omg eli is the man ! i hope he just gets his turn at life. a great great voice

[blend1100]

Listen to ''Ms Morgan'', its his own song, you can listen to it on this website. It's very good.

[JainaMac]

Dear People In The Ivory Room,

Shut up! We're trying to listen to Eli! ;)

[dmerchant322]

Eli has written some of his own; its just that until he's famous enough for people to recognize him by his own music; he's got to play what people know for awhile. I think hes amazing. his skill is amazing for such a young age. He should have one.

[JaimeDaviesWelshHero]

I love this guy but seriously you can not compare him to Sir Elton John until he has done enough in his career to base such a MASSIVE comparsion on. Elton is an all time great legend, Eli is going to be an all time great legend but not yet, not until he has whipped up a few original songs and played out stadiums.

[46catman]

as a karoake host . He sounds good . as good as elton john . I am in wisconsin .

[JaimeDaviesWelshHero]

Yes, I as a performing arts student agree that he sounds as good as Elton, but he is not as good yet , because by saying that I am also talking about Eltons dozens of hits and the fact that Eli has no original material.

[karagoe]

Its really rare to find someone who sounds amazing live.. He's an Allstar :)

[blend1100]

Eli Mattson is better than Elton John.

[masonjones123]

is it just me or does he sound almost exactly like elton john

[jwickert3]

@masonjones123 That's what I was thinking!

[Rahmaj90]

love his voice reminds me of the leadsinger on Nickelback though don't know why!

[tooshelby]

OK Eli... Why on earth have you not been signed? I just can not believe that someone this amazing is still playing small clubs... But how blessed those are that get to revel in such intimidate performances. Suggestion- perhaps posting more original material on your site. You should be experiencing the same career ascension as Billy Joel, Elton John, etc. You deserve it young man!

[fisichella78]

Relax, Eli signed with Sony Records, but he is pretty meticulous in preparing his album ;)

[starbuccaneers]

I can't believe he didn't win...

[djg145]

Can't people shut up while someone is performing???? It had to be women as well :)

[ColtsFan1912]

best voice ever. I melt everytime. I could listen to him sing forever

[khazmiran]

AWESOME

[rabeovic]

GOD BLESS you man

fantastic just fantastic

[BlackRoseisLiving]

check out his fansite - fansofelimattson

[ludgour]

i think I like him singing this song better than Elton John. He is an amazing talent!!!

[alexhendrig]

Some people learn to be the best singer, but they don't learn te be a salesman.. To be both is gold in this world

[jamesrs19]

I think its so funnythis guy has the most inspirational voices and this is in a bar Eli please dont ever change

[allison703]

Thank goodness he's FINALLY been signed & is going to start (or just started) recording. Sadly, I didn't get to see him in one of these small settings.

[oldblues2]

Why the hell is someone this damn good still playing in bars?????

[spiritofthemustang]

Eli Mattson is incredible! He is one of the best singers I've ever heard.
