AI5 Burt Bacharach Medley
I love this medley. This is probably the best finale medley ever in American Idol history. I particularly love Elliott (of course), and would you believe it, Bucky! He actually surprised me a little with his singing here. He actually really has a nice voice. I love the songs, and the way they arranged the medley. And the idols all did a great job! I also love that Dionne Warwick sang with them. She didn’t get the high note in the end, kind of went flat, but hey, it’s still Dionne Warwick. Other than that last note, it’s a great medley and I love listening to it over and over again.
If I Can Dream
If I Can Dream, originally done by Elvis Presley, is another one of Elliott’s great performances. With this song, Elliott really proved what a great singer he is. What I love about Elliott is that, not only does he have an amazing voice, but he has this ability to make a song his own, and even convince his audience to like the song too! I probably wouldn’t even like this song if I had not heard Elliott sing it. He’s really somethin’.
A Song For You
My favorite Idol on Season 5, Elliott Yamin didn’t win last season of American Idol… but nevertheless, he’s still my favorite. He should have won the show though! I love his voice! Among Elliott’s performances, I like this rendition of Donny Hathaway’s ‘A Song For You’ best. It even moved Paula Abdul to tears… check it out.
Moody’s Mood For Love
I love love love this song! And Elliott has always been my favorite bet for Season 5, so to have this sung by him, wow! He has such an amazing voice, and he was really great with the song. I love his vocal acrobatics, and I love listening to him. He’s like a breath of fresh air, he is.
Somewhere Over The Rainbow
I love Kat’s rendition of this song. Although I’m not really a fan of hers, I must admit this song suits her well. This is probably the only performance she did that I liked. I love the arrangement of the song, and she did a good job singing it.
