Good Reviews for Elliott YaminElliott Yamin and other Season Five contestantsIf AI is all about the voice Nov 22, 2006 12:07 PM ET Reviewed by: qtwoot If AI is all about the voice, then Elliott should have won hands down. Sadly, people seem to be influenced by other things which have nothing to do with talent. Elliott's voice made me turn around and take notice the first time I heard it. YAMINE!! Jul 21, 2006 08:38 PM ET Reviewed by: Smileforme536 i loved Elliot ( a Kat Elliot Finale would have been heaven). He wasn't my favorite of the season but i thought he was the best male vocal. He had many solid performances and never really did a far-below-par job. but i do feel people took his leave too personally.

Elliott is the BEST!!! Jun 15, 2006 09:12 AM ET Reviewed by: demjah Elliott was the absolute best singer this season and he should have won! I can't wait to see what he does next!!! I love Elliot Jun 10, 2006 02:35 PM ET Reviewed by: Haley I think Elliot has a great, powerful voice. Also, I think he is very sweet and humble. "The Voice" Jun 05, 2006 11:37 AM ET Reviewed by: geezerbelle I have yet to hear a voice this distinct in a long long time. That was the first thing that got to me. The voice seems to come deep from the stomach, with a full and round bodied sound without coming across as too gruff and reverbrates something in you when you hear it. Elliott makes difficult songs look effortless when he performs them and he has the amazing ability to throw in runs, riffs and melismas to suit the occasion and still not make it seem like oversinging. Though Elliott can sing note for note so does a lot of singers out there but one thing that differentiates him from the pack is he exploits the lyrics to their fullest by capturing the nuance and emotions of the words, case in point is his yearning and almost pleading quality in his vocal in If I Can Dream performance during Elvis Night among many others. I could go on and on but I stop as a phenomenal voice like Elliott's is not to be dissected to smithereens but to be savored for the wondrous melody that fills our soul. emotional intelligence, rhythmic intelligence Jun 05, 2006 10:42 AM ET Reviewed by: natashapierre Elliott's got one of those handful-in-a-generation voices and a subtlety of expression that's largely unmatched. Season-5 belonged to Elliott Yamin Jun 05, 2006 10:08 AM ET Reviewed by: sej He does have a endearing charm with a truly rich voice...accompanied with a very refreshingly unique humble personality...!

Elliott Brings a New Performance Level to AI Jun 03, 2006 06:48 PM ET Reviewed by: triciadnh Elliott Yamin made me watch every AI show and VOTE like crazy for the first time in five seasons. Can't wait for a CD. I want him as my little brother. Jun 03, 2006 06:23 PM ET Reviewed by: Taylor he is classy, good singer with a lot song, my favorite this year. He should have won this. He seems such a nice guy Elliott's Got Heart! Jun 01, 2006 04:00 PM ET Reviewed by: Maureen712 Elliott is very talented, very sensitive, very likeable and lovable! I loved most of his song choices on American Idol, especially "A Song For You" which didn't move me to tears (like it did Paula Abdul) but certainly had a profound effect on me. It is the type of song Elliott does really well! I hope to be hearing a lot more from this talented guy! fantastic May 30, 2006 03:21 PM ET Reviewed by: juidol1986 he is just fantastic!

Elliott Yamin May 29, 2006 02:23 PM ET Reviewed by: starlight2240 I never really paid much attention to American Idol before Season Five. I kept up with who won, and who did not, but none of the contestants forced me to keep watching the way Elliott Yamin did. He has the best voice I have heard to this date, and I believe he will go far in the music industry. We love you, Elliott Yamin! I LOVE ELLIOTT!! May 29, 2006 10:40 AM ET Reviewed by: poweke He is totally awesome!! One of the best voices I've ever heard in my life! Not to mention his humbleness! Elliott is the definition of an American Idol May 28, 2006 04:46 PM ET Reviewed by: Fedorov4ever23 1. Raw Talent 2. Good Character The Very Best!! May 28, 2006 09:26 AM ET Reviewed by: cutepony I really love Elliott's voice - very soulful, very pleasing to the ears, a bit raspy but in a soothing way. I can listen to him all day long and not get tired of his voice. He is one of the best vocalists that American Idol has ever produced, if not the best. He gave me tears and the chills when he sang songs like "A Song For You," "A House Is Not A Home," "If I Can Dream," "Moody's Mood For Love," to name a few. No one idol contestant ever did that for me and captured my heart but him alone. He has gone through a lot in the competition, and for that, he is the American Idol in my eyes. He is a great kid, and his lovable mom would be very proud of him. Good luck to you, Elliott! Brilliant May 28, 2006 08:49 AM ET Reviewed by: SheWoe Amazingly talented. You don't see singers like him everyday. awesome.. what else can i say? May 27, 2006 12:17 PM ET Reviewed by: eloquencia the voice of a soulful angel!.. Elliott Yamin is , as Simon says, "the best male vocalist in the history of this competition". Smooth, soulful, just perfect! Elliott fans are waiting ANXIOUSLY to hear his first CD which will most certainly make him the most successful idol in this "history of the competition".;).. Despite the results on this year's season.. Elliott Yamin is being touted as the true American Idol. Elliott Yamin May 27, 2006 11:58 AM ET Reviewed by: SpursFreak4 Elliott has an unbelievable voice and is the most talented person to ever step on the AI stage. The Best Ever. May 27, 2006 11:03 AM ET Reviewed by: xdUnStOpDaMuSiCx He is definitly the best idol to date. He has immense soul and stage presence, without having to dance goofily or anything like that. He has been the underdog throughout AI5, but if people actually based voting on who has the best voice, Elliott would win hands down. It's all about THE Voice May 27, 2006 10:12 AM ET Reviewed by: ygen Perhaps one of the most outstanding and versatile vocalists AI has ever had, Elliott Yamin exudes a very likeable average joe charm who shines because of his distinct soulful voice and exceptional phrasing and control. Elliott Yamin is the real American Idol May 27, 2006 08:16 AM ET Reviewed by: tricoven He gave it his all and even in his off night he still delivered pure great vocals. He is perfect and he epitomizes the American Idol. simply divine May 27, 2006 07:22 AM ET Reviewed by: AIfan4eva While Elliott has had a couple of weaker performances this season, overall I truly believe that he's been the most consistent. Furthermore he has improved SO MUCH in the past couple of months from being virtually unknown to a real contender for the title. This man has it all. awesome!

Wrong Idols this year. May 24, 2006 05:16 PM ET Reviewed by: sanaya1 Elliott was excellent. He captured my heart with his soul for music. I think the Judges have alot of input and he wasn't give a fair shot as far as the personality remarks (Simon). I've gone back and listened to every show performance and Paula and Randy as well as Simon loved his song choices and music. The only desparaging remarks. I can't wait to see elliott again. He truly is an american idol. I Love Elliott May 24, 2006 05:14 PM ET Reviewed by: MyHottieElliott Sexy Amazing Voice Great Consistant Performances Perfect Personality I'm Excited About Elliott!

May 24, 2006 10:50 AM ET Reviewed by: katiesmom Elliott has such a pure voice. Hopefully, we will hear him on a CD in the future. The people that didn't vote for him went by looks, not talent. A shame, because this voice is one we won't see much on AI. Elliot Yamin is THE man! May 24, 2006 01:14 AM ET Reviewed by: pippi311 After watching 5 seasons of American Idol religiously, I've had my favorites over the years. Contestants with great vocal ability, incredible stage presense, and infectious charm. However NO contestant has won my heart quite like Elliot Yamin. Not only does he have one of the best voices I've ever heard on the show, he seems to be the most humble and genuine guy you'd ever want to meet. He's battled through so much adversity in his life and you get a sense that he has a real appreciation and gratitude for the things he has. The same heartfelt emotion he puts into a performance, he isn't afraid to show off-stage. Elliot truly is one of a kind and he is MY AMERICAN IDOL. Elliot is the most soul filled voice May 24, 2006 01:13 AM ET Reviewed by: usteach The richest and purest voice on season five and best out of all the seasons. He has stage presense, a beautiful voice, charisma, charm and envokes emotion with his soulful voice. Out of the contestants who 'deserved' to win, this man is number one. Elliot is awesome!!! May 24, 2006 01:07 AM ET Reviewed by: indignant Elliot has the best vocals of any male idol ever. His emotion and reality make him very appealing. His appearance improved every week. He is quite handsome. His performance on Queen week was unmatched this season. E-Train May 24, 2006 01:04 AM ET Reviewed by: kxm911 Elliott is my American Idol. He blows the rest away!!!! Elliott Yamin is my American Idol May 24, 2006 12:59 AM ET Reviewed by: cjr123 Elliott has a superior voice and on the likeablilty scale is "off the charts". In my opinion, he should have won American Idol Season 5. I think he was the most deserving. He has an amazing voice - especially provided the fact that he has considerable hearing loss in one ear. He is also just a wonderful role model for the youth of America - a tremendously warm hearted, humble and caring person - he has a great deal of humility and family values that is rare among celebrities in this day and age. If America has any sense at all, this young man will go far with his singing career. Elliott with the Golden Pipes!

Best Voice Apr 16, 2006 01:01 PM ET Reviewed by: marianne Elliott is not the best male vocalist ever on AI, as Simon said he was "potentially," but he is certainly the best this season. His Somebody to Love and Moody's Mood were excellent. The Best Male Vocal in Five Seasons Apr 15, 2006 03:31 PM ET Reviewed by: mcornelio In 5 seasons of watching and listening to American Idol, Elliot Yamin is by far the most gifted male singer of the bunch. His choice of songs, arrangements, vocal control and just plain listenability of his voice will make him go far in this business. Add to that the fact that he has had to overcome so many obstacles to be where he's at today. He's unpretentious, cavalier, and just a real, real person. Elliot. I wish you the best. I'll be one of the first in line to buy your CDs. Randy is right. You have a gift. the best in AI5 Apr 07, 2006 02:43 AM ET Reviewed by: amberromance versatile, has the best voice quality Get on the E-Train!

Unfortunately, he lacks the necessary stage presence to capture the viewing audience, so probably won't make it to the finals as he deserves. I can't believe how much I love his voice Mar 26, 2006 01:35 AM ET Reviewed by: idolnewbee I have to base my rankings solely on voice- I don't attend concerts, I don't buy posters, I don't watch music videos- so what do I care what a contestant looks/performs like? All I know is, I LOVE listening to this man! My Choice as the Best Male Vocalist in Idol5 Mar 25, 2006 02:01 PM ET Reviewed by: Soleil Fantastic vocalist, has a clear, rich voice though possibly better heard than watched.

Great and consistent Mar 11, 2006 06:07 PM ET Reviewed by: cinny72 I really like Elliott. He may not be the best looking guy on this season but he sure has the nicest voice. He needs to develop his stage presence and charisma a little bit more, but he seems like a very nice guy and I think he will go far if he continues to choose great songs like he has been doing. He's been very consistent and I think he deserves to be in the running for the finals - voice-wise, he is just really good. Elliott is my fav Mar 10, 2006 12:40 PM ET Reviewed by: CarolforConstantine Elliott has the best voice of any contestant on AI4 or AI5.
