Elliott Yamin - A Song For You

[@ROYAL_REBEL]

I'm here again in 2024. One of the best renditions of this song.

[@tracywalton3657]

I still can't believe he didn't win he was totally brilliant. Tracy UK

[@theonewhereisay0h0h0h]

Why isn't Elliott everywhere! This man should be selling out concerts. I love his voice. I'm still listening to him music after all this time.

[@jidatbesar]

The One Where I Say agree!!!

[@captainwest8916]

People like non singing pop artists and mumble rappers

[@Chris201076]

Simon was right, he is the best male vocalist to come out of Idol. By a mile.

[@josevalentin9530]

Chris201076 facts!!!

[@chrislongisland]

How is Elliott's voice not a national treasure? Seriously amazing.

[@haywood9001]

...in March 2021... Still one of my greatest-favorite singers....ELLIOTT YAMIN!!! 💙✨💙✨💙✨💙✨💙 This is PURE RAW VOCALS!!!❤

[@pannachawangkul585]

March 2022, still my favorite version of all versions. I hope he is doing well.

[@Trishaelle]

Love him!!! Should have won American Idol.

[@jjayg7]

Best cover of this song I have ever heard!!

[@kadescarcollection5510]

Agree

[@mariannapavlatovasavio9655]

November 2023 and I'm still here!!! ❤ This man is out of the world, he deserves so much recognition!!! ❤

[@TheScarletRanger]

I really don't understand how someone with this much talent can go so unnoticed

[@Ella3305]

He was the best performer on American Idol, without a doubt!

[@mibtp]

Elliot is the #1 Performer/Singer to come out of Idol. Period.

[@ChetLindsay]

SERIOUSLY, HE'S SINGING THE HELL OUT OF THIS SONG!!!!

[@BroWash24]

I love to hear him sing. Such a soulful voice.

[@pcolt4]

That run at 2:40 is so sick. What a vocalist. I want more from Elliott.

[@43Carolita]

That was the only season of American Idol I followed entirely. Only for Elliot Yamin. He should have won, surely. Great voice, great colour and versatility. He should be playing a bit more soul or jazz... but Elliot: you have a precious voice and you use it wonderfully. Love, from Argentina.

[@adamjohnson8935]

I gotta say, no one does this like Elliot. He has an amazing voice for this style of music!

[@LoddyDah]

I mean....I STILL come back to this. Why? Cause it's so good. 🔥

[@MsVanessapl]

He sounds so much like Donny Hathoway. What a great musician with so much soul and style and a warm tone! Elliott is one of my absolute favorite vocalists.

[@TailorK9]

in my oppinion, the best American idol contestant. that season was stacked this man topped it for me.

[@josevalentin9530]

TailorK9 agreed

[@LauroBasico]

Hands down. This is the best rendition of this song!!!

[@kevinmaloney4061]

Braussie khem...Ray Charles!?

[@LauroBasico]

I just listened it again! I wish to reiterate my comment!

[@mujidify]

Braussie christina aguilera did a good version too, the studio version

[@contourbody]

Karen Carpenters' is the definitive version. This man is otherwise probably the most underrated male singer of the last 20+years : )

[@toastiepostie3761]

One of my favorite American Idol contestants. He has a wonderful voice.

[@TitiAnita7]

I really like this guys voice. It's like he's singing directly to you.

[@RICHMOND94114]

such an under rated talent. elliot is a super star.

[@carmellamiller271]

Absolutely love his unique voice. he deserves more credit than what he got

[@knp814]

Best Version of this song I have EVER heard

[@jessicasmith2699]

This song brings tears to my eyes. :)

[@TY-kl4zr]

this man can sing....

[@davidsolomon8203]

One needs only a piano and a deep love and an audible voice!!!

[@thickchick200]

Touches my soul...

[@grytlappar]

This is the perfect song for Elliott and he's the perfect voice for this song. ❤️ It makes me cry too, Paula.

[@mhmurray35]

I love this version of the song... He sing it with so much emotion

[@MrsChildOfGod]

Sorry to everyone who ever did this song before but this.... The desperation in his voice strikes me in my heart every single time.

[@TheTyisha101]

this will be played at my future wedding. i love Elliot and this cover. I sing this to myself all the time

[@miamiinmeka]

Great great great talent

[@deandrelatimore9658]

This song hit the spot. This guy is the next generation of soul music. A+++++++++

[@TailorK9]

Majestic. My favourite american idol as a teenaged Canadian as it appeared live.

[@DebbieDoobie1000]

He lost on Idol cuz most of US is tone deaf. He has a gift.

[@scottw9318]

That year was just bizarre...I don't see how Taylor Hicks beat both him, McPhee, AND Daughtry of all people. It was truly messed up.

[@kadescarcollection5510]

He should've won

[@pricelessrn]

Regardless of what version, or who sang it first or who sang it better, fact is this man did the damn thang. He is spectacular and brilliant doing his rendition of this song.

[@barbarahunter3964]

Donny Hathaway was the first person to sing A song for you, But Elliot Yamin did a great job singing this song definitely on my Playlist, Elliot Yamin is a brother from another mother, he sings like a brother. Im Giving this man his props.

[@yezv0o]

pure voice no auto tunes no nothing

[@shronwesley6526]

his voice is so amazing... all his songs make me cry

[@ulrekamitchell2115]

I love this verison. It takes me back to Idol's hayday.

[@JesusISdaonlyway]

[@flixchick9639]

Donny.

[@kadescarcollection5510]

I like this version better than Donny Hathaway's version

[@chaelamcgee2511]

This was my dads favorite song, he used to sing it before he passed away 7 years ago, and to this day, I still cry when it comes on 😔

[@ceciliaruizdesomocurcio4672]

Sorry for your lost 😔

[@markdansby1609]

Amazingly beautiful..

[@ashwankhairi4553]

I've been so many places in my life and time I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhymes I've acted out my life in stages With ten thousand people watching But we're alone now And I'm singing this song to you I know your image of me is what I hoped to be I treated you unkindly But darling can't you see There's no one more important to me Baby can't you see through me? 'Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you You taught me precious secrets Of a true love You wanted nothing You came out in front When I was hiding But now I'm so much better And if my words don't come together Listen to the melody 'Cause my love is in there hiding I love you in a place Where there's no space or time I love you for my life You're a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were alone And I was singing this song to you I love you in a place Where there's no space or time I love you for my life You're a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were alone and I was singing this song to you We were alone And I was singing this song to you We were alone and I was singing this song Singing this song to you

[@MrDmalca]

[@derekcarney]

So good.

[@ilovetwilight4125]

MORE MUSIC ELLIOTT!!

[@virginiaechevaria6767]

No one ever should sing this song of Leon Russell. The original can ever be duplicate. Leon's the piano he plays like no other, the musical arrangements, his face you feel what he's feeling. Please may there never be another person ever to sing Leon Russell "A song for you. By the way the second best is a female" Miss Morgana King version. Listen HER singing this song. I can't even start the accolade's. Just KZbin it now. Then you'll be so so grateful I took this time to let yous know who is" Number two, a"Women. " You'll count your blessing. Love love you Leon Russell.

[@1978Calamity]

2024, and he still resonates.

[@grammygam]

the soul of Donny still lives in Elliott....he will make it.....the heart is in there...a true bio of Donny Hathaway......

[@johnathonmcdonald1804]

Magical

[@nursetammy74]

Still one of the best male singers.

[@Marva2552]

best voice from AI, hands down!

[@jermainereynolds4994]

+Marva2552 what about daughtry, david cook and david archuletta. I would say one of he best. Im a huge fan and in part because of his heart! He is believable in everything he sings.

[@Marva2552]
