Now, I'm 22 years old. And I saw this video way back in 2008. At that time I was 12. It feels like that was yesterday. I remember wondering about his hair. Good old times. Miss it. :') 2022 - And the song (and this video) still hits right at the nerve. 2024 May - The song aged like a fine wine. The emotions of nostalgia are attached so heavily to this song. I wish I had a wayback machine.
@@georgewang2947 ye he was the oldest winner at age 29, but he had white hair at the time, but a smooth soul sound. But hes voice would have been more popular in the the 1970s or 1980s.
What part of Solomon being 300 generations ago don't folk over- stand; stop with this catch all phrasing: Elliot like myself are airs of Solomon; Shem has faces like lions, and if you look at Steve Curry in one generation look how light skin he is. Elliot like myself would not be shocked to find out that yes some Jews have black dna linked to Solomon and if Solomon had just 30 wives some Jews would be linked to Shem. This catch all "White boy" stuff needs to stop. If I were all white I would be all right. There is a reason Roma don't want to put mixed race categories up. P.S. if you look at Marc Broussard he has face like a LIONS as do most of the Israelites singing R&b in modern day Egypt.
Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘🙏Grace and peace be unto you and to this place. God bless you. 🤍🌈🤍Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your LORD and personal saviour??? I do. 😊
This was like the best season ever. Tho they had such good vocalists in the top 4 and yet Taylor hicks ended up winning because of his personality and stage presence.
His voice is sooooo lovely... Let this song remind u of how crushed u were when brokeup w/h that person & NOW u say 2 urself evrything turned out just fine & 2 always remember✞ღ✝❣❢❢ッ...

I'm kinda he glad he didn't win. Most of the winners on American Idol fall off as they're so bounded to the 8 year contract after they win. Elliot found a great producer and had free creative liberty and is so much more successful than the winners!
Through all your performances on American Idol, the thing that remains constant for me, is your personality and the way your mom was so proud of you. Right on man, you deserve this. Nothing like a teary eyed smile from Mom.
Elliot is my fav idol of ALL TIME. He's extremely talented. Its unbelievable he didnt win but whatever..look at him now bitches! lol I also like Chris Doughtry and Paris
I never felt nothing in the world like this before (no) Now I'm missing you, and I'm wishing you would come back through my door (yeah) Ooh-ooh Why did you have to go? (Go) You could have let me know (know) So now, I'm all alone (ooh-ooh) Girl, you could have stayed, but you wouldn't give me a chance (no) With you not around, it's a little bit more than I can stand (yeah) Ooh-ooh And all my tears they (they) Keep running down my face (face) Why did you turn away? So why does your pride make you run and hide? Are you that afraid of me? But I know it's a lie, what you keep inside This is not how you want it to be So baby, I will wait for you 'Cause I don't know what else I can do Don't tell me, I ran out of time If it takes the rest of my life Baby, I will wait for you If you think I'm fine, it just ain't true I really need you in my life No matter what, I have to do I'll wait for you Been a long time since you called me (How could you forget about me?) You gotta be feeling crazy (crazy) Ooh-ooh How can you walk away? ('Way) Everything stays the same (same) I just can't do it, baby (no) What will it take to make you come back? (Home) Girl, I told you what it is, and it just ain't like that (no) No, oh-oh Why can't you look at me? (Me) You're still in love with me (me) Don't leave me crying Baby, why can't we just- Just start over again? Get it back to the way it was If you give me a chance, I can love you right But you're telling me, it won't be enough So baby, I will wait for you 'Cause I don't know what else I can do Don't tell me, I ran out of time If it takes the rest of my life Baby, I will wait for you If you think I'm fine, it just ain't true I really need you in my life No matter what, I have to do I'll wait for you So why does your pride make you run and hide? Are you that afraid of me? But I know it's a lie, what you're keeping inside That is not how you want it to be Baby, I will wait for you (for you) Ooh-ooh Baby, I will wait for you If it's the last thing I do Baby, I will wait for you 'Cause I don't know what else I can do Don't tell me I ran out of time If it takes the rest of my life Baby, I will wait for you If you think I'm fine, it just ain't true I really need you in my life No matter what, I have to do I'll wait for you I'll be waiting
Elliott has a voice that will "last forever"! Just wondering, "whatever happened to him"? It's time for him to make a comeback! The Worlds waiting for him!!
Oh the stage, he sings this song alot slower.People complain how slow it is. But to me, I think it gives the song a more smoothing,relaxing,soulful touch than the original that is played on the radio.
So much soul … And we’ve never appreciated any other singers with soul ….??? So he packaged well here … grew out his hair … looking for that cross over appeal I see..no longer has the black hair cut etc when he started ….
Elliot you blew me away when you sang mmody's mood and have been my all time favourite Idol ever since you should have won definitely. God Bless you and may he keep you safe and your gift of song
This song is even more Heavenly when performed live 😭💖
Yasss
So trueeee
2021 I still listening this song
I can wait for you and come back.
Baby I will wait for you
I'll be waitting...
I love Elliott!!! A true talent! I had the privilege of seeing him in concert. His voice is golden!
This was such a great song! Classic moments of AI.
Why does your pride make you run and hide ❤️ that part really stucks me
Damn! This guy sounds like a professional. Great voice!
2021 and still listening
This best song make me crying because now i missing my proach people, i cannot tell who that's people, because that's means for me😢😭

❤
Just look at the James Taylor video Her town
2024: Still a bop ❤️
Sounds just like the studio version. Excellent vocalist.. his voice is just so naturally rich.
Yessssss!!! I’m so obsessed with this song. I have to come back to it every year whenever I think about it ❤️
Now, I'm 22 years old. And I saw this video way back in 2008. At that time I was 12. It feels like that was yesterday. I remember wondering about his hair. Good old times. Miss it. :')

pranavv gautamm me too I’m 21 and seeing this brings back good memories
22 year old here as well. I’ll never forget this :’)
Love this
Notice how all the other contestants usually end up more famous than the actual winners? Eg. Chris Daughtry, Elliot Yamin, Adam Lambert
taylor hicks, bikini girl, and william fucking hung
@@cephalonrolli5678 wasn't Taylor Hicks a winner? Lol
@@georgewang2947 ye he was the oldest winner at age 29, but he had white hair at the time, but a smooth soul sound. But hes voice would have been more popular in the the 1970s or 1980s.
@@georgewang2947 exactly, nobody listens to Taylor. Lol
@@DemonKingNemo agree.I don't know why he was a winner yet.Eliot would have won.
2020 and I am still listening to this dude and song.
Me too😅
Same broo 😅
Me too😅😆
Miss from Norway 😊🇳🇴🇳🇴
Yesss
2022 and I still enjoy listening to Elliot. He deserved to achieve much more success than he did achieve.
Underrated
WiseNinja 15 agreed!
Korek!
True!
Elliot has such an amazing voice. Have to watch this to remind me of what Idols should really sound like.
So am I the only one who thought he was black...
2024 still listening Elliott
The winners never get extremely popular with the exception of Kelly and Carrie.
Jordan sparks was famous at the start.
Tho better than the voice
I've yet to see anyone famous from the voice.
Also David Archuleta was popular for a little bit
@@ninjastanceeats9187 Archuleta was runner up
Fantasia
JHud
So much soul and passion.... that voice. 2018
Anyone else thought he was black??

Elliott has been my #1 favorite! I still remember watching him when he was competing, I was pregnant with my son who is now 16!
This was like the best season ever. Tho they had such good vocalists in the top 4 and yet Taylor hicks ended up winning because of his personality and stage presence.
He has such a great voice. Love this song.

@ ChadAsianman - I was shocked myself - I thought it was sung by a black dude
I was really rooting for Elliot Yamin during his season. I just love his voice. I even bought his album when it came out.

Through all your performances on American Idol, the thing that remains constant for me, is your personality and the way your mom was so proud of you. Right on man, you deserve this. Nothing like a teary eyed smile from Mom.
Seeing a 16 yo comment on here is willlddd
Elliott sings better live than any other singer from American Idol. He delivers the song with such love.
Elliot is my fav idol of ALL TIME.
He's extremely talented.
Its unbelievable he didnt win but whatever..look at him now bitches! lol
I also like Chris Doughtry and Paris
I'm feeling you, Elliot is simply terrific!
I can’t believe I haven’t seen any Jon B comparisons at all.
I love you Elliott. You are the best singer. I have to listen to that amazing voice everyday!! You make my life sweeter with that voice to listen to!!
owh how awesome his voice sounds.. though, he's actually half-deaf (one ear use only).. =)
2020?
He's sounds fantastic live 🥰
I never felt nothing in the world like this before (no)
Now I'm missing you, and I'm wishing you would come back through my door (yeah)
Ooh-ooh
Why did you have to go? (Go)
You could have let me know (know)
So now, I'm all alone (ooh-ooh)
Girl, you could have stayed, but you wouldn't give me a chance (no)
With you not around, it's a little bit more than I can stand (yeah)
Ooh-ooh
And all my tears they (they)
Keep running down my face (face)
Why did you turn away?
So why does your pride make you run and hide?
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it's a lie, what you keep inside
This is not how you want it to be
So baby, I will wait for you
'Cause I don't know what else I can do
Don't tell me, I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life
Baby, I will wait for you
If you think I'm fine, it just ain't true
I really need you in my life
No matter what, I have to do
I'll wait for you
Been a long time since you called me
(How could you forget about me?)
You gotta be feeling crazy (crazy)
Ooh-ooh
How can you walk away? ('Way)
Everything stays the same (same)
I just can't do it, baby (no)
What will it take to make you come back? (Home)
Girl, I told you what it is, and it just ain't like that (no)
No, oh-oh
Why can't you look at me? (Me)
You're still in love with me (me)
Don't leave me crying
Baby, why can't we just-
Just start over again?
Get it back to the way it was
If you give me a chance, I can love you right
But you're telling me, it won't be enough
So baby, I will wait for you
'Cause I don't know what else I can do
Don't tell me, I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life
Baby, I will wait for you
If you think I'm fine, it just ain't true
I really need you in my life
No matter what, I have to do
I'll wait for you
So why does your pride make you run and hide?
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it's a lie, what you're keeping inside
That is not how you want it to be
Baby, I will wait for you (for you)
Ooh-ooh
Baby, I will wait for you
If it's the last thing I do
Baby, I will wait for you
'Cause I don't know what else I can do
Don't tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life
Baby, I will wait for you
If you think I'm fine, it just ain't true
I really need you in my life
No matter what, I have to do
I'll wait for you
I'll be waiting

2019?
His mom was right. It’s not his voice. It’s his whole persona-a beautiful soul. That’s what she was so proud of about her son.
The melody is sounds very much like Chris Brown’s “Say Goodbye”. I like his voice and the song.
