he was the best i've seen out of all the singing shows, his voice is so deep and passionate, he puts feeling into his performances perfectly and he should have won! i love you eli :)
I am truely admire yours performance, you have talent, great voice, but Regret that yours talent not to be praising God....yours voice is to be in my memory.....
I am truely admire yours performance, you have talent, great voice, but Regret that yours talent not to be praising God....yours voice is to be in my memory.....
you are music.. and belong to....yours voice charming... great....in this song, you drew me attention.... cause you are nature in music, great pianist......keep nature
@YDanyyy that is an absolute joke he's nowhere near the class of elton john,is voice isnt that great either,dont get me wrong the guy can play the piano but really?
@YDanyyy i completely agree with you. Ive listened to both versions and this version, in my opinion, is more fitting to the message of the lyrics. The elton john version seems to happy and high paced for the sad meaning behind this song
@minniman42 I agree totally on that - I always imagine this song being sung in a smoky, slightly seedy club after most people have left for the night :D
Eli is an ispiration the way i sing is similar to his but its not nearly as good as his but im only 15 and my voice is still changing so maybe some day ill be as good as him
amazingly beautiful if he doesnt make it when there is shit out there like lil wayne who rnt even musicains keep it up eli we need more of you in the music industry

this artist gives my goosepimples, when i hear him play, i just sit and think wow! He is an oustanding pianist and wonderful singer. I wish him all the best in the future!
yeah true....me too....when i hear him.....he gives my goosepimples from the beginning to the end...and they last a good th=ime after the song ends... :D
I think the results were fixed b/d the past winners have all been singers and neal was just a bit different being opera. so; yea I think it was rigged. theres no way america liked opera better than this amazing guy here.
My fellow brits are gonna hate me but both American Idol and Americas Got Talent are much better than our UK version. Eli is fantastic... I'll be keeping a look out for him (Should have won!)
We definitely need more musicians like him. Kinda tired of all the MTV generated group bands, teeny bopper sensations,hip hop rappers etc. When was the last time a singer like Eli came around? Probably many still out there, but just overshadowed into obscurity by the music trends of today. It's not always about talent, its all about money for these record companies.
He reminds me of an early version of Elton John or Billy Joel, the kind of talent we don't see too often these days, one guy, his piano and his talent.
If he doesn't win the show, I hope he at least gets signed for a good recording label, he deserves it.
God, I bet he loves playing that new piano! Check out his Myspace, shows him playing that keyboard he showed up with... just amazing he's come so far in just a couple of weeks.
Yes really. What happened to him. I really like his voice.
