He’s so lovable!!!

Sept 2024, Yamin is still as phenomenal today as he was back then.

Elliot's really underrated and underappreciated

He should've won

Better than Elvis on this!!!

So beautiful!

Wish so much he hadn’t sung that song 😢

So hot!

Don't know who won but the best singers, like Elliot, I go back and listen to all the time!

Thank you so much.for doing this !.Elliot.Yamin needs more exposure to his talent! Should.have Won!! Why didn't He? He was the most talented! .please show more of Him!!! Through.the finally!.Taylor Hicks won.!? God bless you Elliott! Hope you.are Doing well! Glad to hear you again! Memories! Memories!.Paris Bennet was also Outstanding on the Show!!

Unfortunately, American Idol was never about the voice… it was about marketability

One of my favorite male idols!

His smile lights the room-you can feel his joy in singing…it fills the space!

So amazing!!!

Fave performance of Elliott. He was my choice that year !

Love this!!!

Hard to believe but better than Elvis.

Best performance ever on Idol

always liked eliot . after listening to him again, I love him more. rich voice.

I still love Elliot!!!!!!!!!!

I still don't know how Taylor managed to snag the title from Katharine McPhee, Elliott Yamin and Chris Daughtry.

Sorry but there is no way he could beat Paris Bennett….. sorry ….

It’s funny how he changed his style … was no longer fading his hair … hmmm… he had a look that matched his voice that was somewhat soulful and black ….

Barry is saved because of my prayers!! Praise the Lord!! 👍👍

Elliot is my favorite American Idol contestant of all time. I was a kid when he was on and I was absolutely glued to the TV every time he was on

Outstanding!!!!

At that time, i didn't like the choice that he took, this time it does't sound different.I love Yamin's somebody to love.He covered well.

He was my favorite male contestant ever on American idol

don't know what Randy was smoking. This is one of best performances in AI ever

Terrell who? Where is he now? Somewhere in a rainbow sweater. 😂

I miss Elliott Yamin…

In the music industry today, even with the most brilliant, most superb voice, in order to be a SUPERSTAR, it ALWAYS boils down to performing great songs by great song writers. And Elliott is SO WORTHY of STARDOM & of TRULY GREAT songwriters working with him.💕💕💕

Pitchy? If that was pitchy, Randy is tone deaf! Randy actually often used to say performances had pitch issues when they didn’t and then wouldn’t give that feedback when there were pitch issues…always drove me nuts!

I mean when David foster who has seen the best says you sing well... come on he should have won.

He was so underrated , what a voice

Elliott was my favorite.

More than an amazing voice, Elliott is an amazing person. ❤️💜❤️💜

He went against Clive Davis???? Yeah, BAAAAAD move, Elliott! 👎

I never get sick of hearing Elliot!!

He’s awesome!

He is all soul

I love me some Elliott he was one of my favorites him and Adam I can’t think of the other guy but they used to rearrange the music when they sang on American Idol and I loved it it was crazy

Great rendition .but i was waiting for the money note

Simon is a downer!

This song is not a love song. It's an apology the morning after a bender.

Elliot always gets my vote!!!👍🏾👍🏾

$ 5,000

What everyone probably needs to know is that song song was written and performed by Donny Hathaway. Donny was an all time great vocalist and performed with enormous sincerity and passion. My R&B teacher in college said he could have been potentially as good a musician as the greatest R&B musician ever, Stevie Wonder. Donny had paranoid schizophrenia and committed suicide at a very young age, i think 33. So its poetic and tragic and beautiful and I think thats a big part of what made Paula emotional.

Easily best male vocalist the show has seen.... sand song choices like him... He should have sang “sitting on a dock on a bay” not Clive Davis “open arms”... it was still closest vote bet but Taylor Hicks and Katherine McPhee know darn well who the better singer is ... and it ain’t close .. He does things vocally they just cannot.... MASTERCLASS PWRFORMANCE!!

Elliott deserves far more than what he got! He’s the best
