Today is Fri., March 01, 2024. For as long as I live, I will never, EVER forget Elliott Yamin; THIS, or ANY of his performances. He is by far the most superb singer EVER to grace the American Idol stage.💗
He was so special! He proved to be a singer's Singer. Paula was right. This is a really challenging piece to sing! But as usual, he nailed it!!❤ where is he now?
I was just thinking about it this afternoon, and there’s a version on Spotify, which was professionally recorded with the other finalists, but I specifically came to TH-cam to find this rendition, which I remember, just like the rest of us I’m biased also because I’m a professional jazz musician and I happen to love this music, I remember being incredibly shocked when I heard him sing this and then even more shocked when I heard him nail every single note and rhythm, especially with his tone and style Absolutely fantastic musician !
It's 2023 and I just met Yamin at an intimate jazz concert in a Presbyterian church by NE Tacoma, Washington. Such a lovely person who let me chat him up, and smiled patiently as I selfied 10 pics with him.
vocals & voice OMG, YES!! But Daughtry was the real winner of that season. The dude has great vocals, great voice and was VERY charismatic. Elliot though had just a beautiful voice, absolutely has a gift!!!
I bought his first 2 CDs. I felt he didn't have good managers or whoever the people are who help an artists have the career they deserve .the song choices didn't allow him to be heard like other similar artists. Wish some record company would work with him now. I still & always will love soul & r&b etc. he's got it.
Fucking STELLLAR Performance OMG!!! Brilliant Singer. God Bless and where are you now!?? Please be blessing us with Music!! You're a seriously brilliant and phenomenal, classic singer!!!!
Elliot, I miss you!❤ I'll never forget watching you on Idol. You were my favorite from the beginning. Women all over fell in love with you when they heard you sing Moodys Mood for Love. I did and im so happy to find this on UTube. Make more music for us. We have not forgot you. I still love hearing you sing. Keep it up.
My wife and I met Elliot when he visited Tokyo following his burst of fame on American Idol. We met him by chance outside Avex studios where he had a recording session. A great vocalist and an even better gentleman and human being.
it's 2021. I just remembered there was this one kid from a TV Show that sang this song so beautifully. Here I am. So thankful this vid still exists. I searched: "moodys mood for love tv show*
Best singer I've ever heard on this show, period! Also want to add that Simon gives away the LOW overall quality of that show when he says "you can't win this contest with a song like that". Really? Maybe he's right, because most people listening have NO idea what they just heard - an AMAZING singer who just EFFORTLESSLY nailed one of the most difficult tunes to sing in the jazz vocal category.
A great song from one of the greatest jazz players ever and certainly one of the nicest people I have ever met. A brilliant brilliant vocal. Simplicity done well can still be genius. This performance is all of that and then some. This is certainly in the top 5 vocals I have ever heard on Idol.
I still have not found another man, in my opinion, that can sing like this one... anytime someone asks me who is the best male artist, I’m going straight to him, even over Paola
Fantastic!! This is the kind of material Elliot should be doing but with better arrangements! Wake up!! The jazz world is hungry for new male vocalists!! He could rule!
Omigosh I remember this when it initially aired. We watched this performance multiple times cause we were thoroughly impressed. I loved his rendition of the song. We hadn’t watched American idol in years though.
Wow! Elliott, you really killed it. One of my favorite songs and a lot of people have "Tried to sing it" , But you are up there at the top in my book. Keep going and it's a sure thing that you will be going on to bigger and better things. From a huge FAN of yours.
When real talent has to be approved by mediocrity.... and no ma’am, James Moody wrote it. Actually the chord changes are the same as I’m in the mood for love, but that’s besides the point, Elliott, you will always be one of the biggest losses in this industry. You should have won.

Same, I’ll never forget his voice
I come back to this guys performances a few times a year ❤
He was so special! He proved to be a singer's Singer. Paula was right. This is a really challenging piece to sing! But as usual, he nailed it!!❤ where is he now?
La mejor interpretación que escuche en American ídol, ya han pasado muchos años y siempre la recuerdo.
If you’ve never sung Jazz then you don’t truly understand how on point this performance was. It was 🔥💯
Wasnt it just a rendition of brian mcknights ? Qs JOOK JOINT
Sal He still sung it, dickhead.
Exactly!!!
@@sal3092 George Benson
@@dakilacabrera7 Brian mcknight
The true original Idol singer...he sang what he wanted and didn't care who liked it. This was one of the best performances in the show's history.
this...
Totally agree @ L Clark
He is unique and a joy to the ear

Best singer ever on this show...bar none
Easy...smooth as plate glass and strong as diamond
You gotta be kidding,
vocals & voice OMG, YES!! But Daughtry was the real winner of that season. The dude has great vocals, great voice and was VERY charismatic. Elliot though had just a beautiful voice, absolutely has a gift!!!
That would be Fantasia but carry on..
I’d put Kelly in the mix but he was my second favorite singer.
I was so obsessed with him that season.❤️
I bought his first 2 CDs.

I wonder why the producers don’t make use of his unique talent ,If was a producer I would consider him one of the top
3/4 of people had no idea what they were listening to....magic....
Back in oct 2020...still magic....check the respect to the band after every performance....
For real
His voice is as smooth as butter 🥰

i know its 2019 but can I still vote for him?
1
He's done so many benefits. He's a giver and a beautiful SOUL 😻
I still think of Elliot’s voice singing this song after all these years because I’ve yet to hear another version to top it… it is the best bar none!
“You can’t win a show like this with a song like that”. WHAT? That’s the song ~ sung so very well that should win every contest!
He meant that typical AI viewers wouldn’t vote for this type of song…excellent performance 🥰
I lose it when I see his mom tearing up. What a great rendition of an endless, timeless jazz standard.
My favorite singer ever still to this day! ❤️
it's 2021. I just remembered there was this one kid from a TV Show that sang this song so beautifully.

Totally agree!
Exactly
One of the best there were alot of great singers
The best AI performance ever!
Totally agree!!
it was good, but I wouldn't say all that, Lol.
The one and only time I obsessed about an american idol contestant. Thanks for reminding me the good times.
Swear
Same ❤️💜❤️💜
One of the best performances of the show
this is a masterclass on control, tone, & interpretive perfection!!❤❤
Apart from Fantasia's performances this is the only one I still rewatch, sweet
favorite. I really fell in love with his voice! Watching in 2018. I dont care when I hear this song I love his version the best.
I agree, Elliot's version is my favorite. I wish that he would cut an album doing the classic ballads...I would buy it
I just LOVE the way he sings this song!!!! AS much as I love jazz, this one here is brilliant!!
One of my personal favorite American Idol performance's.
Absolutely the Best Rendition of Moody's Mood for Love...Elliott Yamin
Best singer ever on American Idol
A great song from one of the greatest jazz players ever and certainly one of the nicest people I have ever met. A brilliant brilliant vocal. Simplicity done well can still be genius. This performance is all of that and then some. This is certainly in the top 5 vocals I have ever heard on Idol.
He was out there educating America’s youth on music outside of pop.
2020 already and still, I am listening to one of the best vocalists of AI.
I still rewatch his performances in IDOL...best performances back then
Favorite!!!!!!! Ever!!!!!!!
Those vibratos.... still killing me
I still have not found another man, in my opinion, that can sing like this one... anytime someone asks me who is the best male artist, I’m going straight to him, even over Paola
Candace Lee....I agree. Best male contestant on A.I.
agree
I agree.too
That's what is wrong.... how could you not win a competition with a song like that, It is a classic.
Fantastic!! This is the kind of material Elliot should be doing but with better arrangements! Wake up!! The jazz world is hungry for new male vocalists!! He could rule!
I was 14 years old and had chills watching this back then for the first time, and still do now 14 years later!
Holy crap he was my favorite best Ai season ever
I missed this masterpiece. If they had a jazz singer comp. I'd watch again.
Yes!!! TH-cam always comes through!! One of my favourite performances ever!!!
when I first saw this performance on the show it brought tears to my eyes. It still did today. By far, the best performance EVER on american idol!
Ah memories and I'm still a big fan .
Will always be one of my top 5 AI performances.
My homie Yamin!! One of my favorite contestants and performances.
Season 5 was the best, no doubt.
He’s just bloody brilliant of a singer and that was a brilliant performance! Great song choice for Elliott!
Omigosh I remember this when it initially aired. We watched this performance multiple times cause we were thoroughly impressed.
I loved his rendition of the song.
We hadn’t watched American idol in years though.
One of my favorite performances from American idol
Just WONDERFUL!!!! Love it
I've loved his voice till now😍
Brilliant singer!!!
Friendy Advice so humble and down to earth. Maybe that's why his popularity didn't grow, he's not about ego he's about music from the heart
Dude his cover is even better than the original
2024 Still the most DYNAMITE performance of ALL TIME!!!
Dang, Elliott sang this with so much confidence! He was great!
I remember watching this as a kid and was in awe . One of the best
Best ever❤❤❤
Amazing voice!!!
Wow! Elliott, you really killed it. One of my favorite songs and a lot of people have "Tried to sing it" , But you are up there at the top in my book. Keep going and it's a sure thing that
you will be going on to bigger and better things. From a huge FAN of yours.
The best version of the song coming from this guy, i think.... i always have this song by elliot yamin in all my playlist
One of my fave AI singers EVER.
2023 and he no one has been better than he was on AI
He did that! Excellent
👏🏾 👏🏾 loved this performance.
Such an awesome vocalist! Love his tone ❤
He is singing the updated 1995 version of Quincy Jones(Brian McKnight ft. Rachelle Ferrell & Take 6)
Qs Jook joint
True 💯. I heard Brian McKnight version today.....
yea I know abt quincy Jones, George Benson, Brian mcknight I was suprised she said Stevie wonder..lol
It’s the body vibe for me. Elliot got soul.
I will watch this performance again and again loved it then love it now. Miss seeing him live. 💯
Still love this performance!! Amazing
Best AI Season ever. Hands down.
This was the first time I saw him, and I was impressed from that point forward.
What happened to this boy. Best singer ever on American Idol
Wow! Beautiful!
Best AI performance ever
Cool Singer!!!Thanks!!!
Background singers killin
Wow I love this!
2023! 👏🏼👏🏼
Nailed it
Eddie Jefferson would approve but George Benson would absolutely appreciate this version… Elliot’s gift of singing would make both proud!
Lindoooooo,demais!
너무 완벽하게 불러서 아메리칸 아이돌 취지에 맞지 않아 3등을 한 사람...
Never ever watched a season of this show. Listening to Simon's ridiculous criticism here now I know I made the right choice.
This is hard to sing . Elliot is very good
Yup, tried it and failed😂
WBLS BABYYYYY
Great job De Niro
Where's the rest of the song?
AI season 5 best ever
💖
That was a cover of George Benson's Moody's mood for love, not Stevie Wonder. Paula Aduhl really?!??
George Benson. Here's proof.
th-cam.com/video/vs9NpxTPBy0/w-d-xo.html
Best male singer that season. Best girl and overall singer too bad couldnt make into hollywood (Carly Smithson) because of her green card problem.
Videos Banheira Elliot was the best. and I was wondering what ever happened to Carly. I liked her. 😔
He was an elite panty dropper 😩❤️❤️❤️
When real talent has to be approved by mediocrity....
and no ma’am, James Moody wrote it. Actually the chord changes are the same as I’m in the mood for love, but that’s besides the point, Elliott, you will always be one of the biggest losses in this industry. You should have won.
Love him!! Was he on same season as carrie??
No. he was on in season 5 in 2006
Nope. Taylor Hicks, Katharine McPhee & Chris Daughtry was with him.
What the hell is Paula talking about Stevie Wonder? This is THE GREAT James Moody
Stevie Wonder. I think she meant George Benson
Please Upload Elliot Yamin - Home Domeju 😁
What happened to him??
I think he's engaged now. he is still doing singing
He should’ve won...
Paula said Stevie Wonder? Does she not know the best version was sang by King Pleasure (Clarence Beeks)!
