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.💗

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.

For real

His voice is as smooth as butter 🥰

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.

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.

I lose it when I see his mom tearing up. What a great rendition of an endless, timeless jazz standard.

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!

i know its 2019 but can I still vote for him?

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.

I just LOVE the way he sings this song!!!! AS much as I love jazz, this one here is brilliant!!

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*

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.

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.

One of my personal favorite American Idol performance's.

Those vibratos.... still killing me

2020 already and still, I am listening to one of the best vocalists of AI.

That's what is wrong.... how could you not win a competition with a song like that, It is a classic.

One of the best performances of the show

I still rewatch his performances in IDOL...best performances back then

Best singer ever on American Idol

Favorite!!!!!!! Ever!!!!!!!

I was 14 years old and had chills watching this back then for the first time, and still do now 14 years later!

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

Absolutely the Best Rendition of Moody's Mood for Love...Elliott Yamin

Apart from Fantasia's performances this is the only one I still rewatch, sweet

He was out there educating America’s youth on music outside of pop.

Ah memories and I'm still a big fan .

Yes!!! KZread always comes through!! One of my favourite performances ever!!!

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!

Holy crap he was my favorite best Ai season ever

My homie Yamin!! One of my favorite contestants and performances. Season 5 was the best, no doubt.

this is a masterclass on control, tone, & interpretive perfection!!❤❤

I missed this masterpiece. If they had a jazz singer comp. I'd watch again.

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

Will always be one of my top 5 AI performances.

I've loved his voice till now😍

One of my favorite performances from American idol

Just WONDERFUL!!!! Love it

He’s just bloody brilliant of a singer and that was a brilliant performance! Great song choice for Elliott!

2024 Still the most DYNAMITE performance of ALL TIME!!!

2023 and he no one has been better than he was on AI

Best ever❤❤❤

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.

Amazing voice!!!

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.

Dang, Elliott sang this with so much confidence! He was great!

What happened to this boy. Best singer ever on American Idol

I remember watching this as a kid and was in awe . One of the best

He did that! Excellent

Such an awesome vocalist! Love his tone ❤

I will watch this performance again and again loved it then love it now. Miss seeing him live. 💯

Where's the rest of the song?

He should’ve won...

AI season 5 best ever

Stevie Wonder. I think she meant George Benson

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.

That was a cover of George Benson's Moody's mood for love, not Stevie Wonder. Paula Aduhl really?!??
