Elliott is awsome, just love his singing. I dont vote often on AI but I did for Elliott. And now here.
Elliott (AKA “Funky White Boy”) OWNS this song — he really took Gavin’s song, added his own flavor, and made it something special. Elliott has so much soul and can rock right along with the best of them!!!
‘ONE WORD’…..Elliott is AMAZING!
It’s Elliott Yamin all the way!! Wowza!
His voice is totally amazing!
Elliott’s version of “I don’t want to be ” is packed with energy and whoa, he gave new life to this song. Love Elliott because he can switch it up, and also make it so different he makes it his own!! Elliott can do it all, make it soulful, electric and original. This guy is fantastic!
All 3 are great guys but when it comes to vocals no one does it better that Elliott!
Bo all the way, although I like Elliot too.
chris whined and bo over did it. Elliott was amazing
While Elliott’s vocals were technically better, it is Bo who wins this one, hands down.
Bo has got the right mix of soul and rock for this song. The hard edge he brings to it makes it come alive. He sings it like he had written it, he sings it like it is HIS song. Yes, his voice faltered on the highest notes… But as a whole, as a package, his vocals/performance and “believeability” factor makes his rendition of the song the best of the three.
I do love Elliott and think he did well on the song, as did Chris Rich (love him, too). I just don’t think that song was a good fit for neither of them.
No brainer, Bo Bice wins this by many miles. He is even better than the originating artist IMHO. Chris and Elliott are OK, but Bo was the master of this song.
Bo of course. I didn’t even remember the other 2 until I saw the video here.
Crich sucks. Bo was nice. Elliott’s version isn’t rock, but it’s the best!!
Bo all the way. His voice and performance was so amazing. For me, no contest. Everyone see or hears something different. Nothing against the others, I just think Bo outdid them.
Chris is a non-starter.
I’m a rockhead so I thoroughly enjoyed Bo’s performance. But there’s just something about Elliott’s voice that grabs the musician in me.
So performance – Bo
Vocals – Elliott
Richardson hands down. I’m not even feeling Bo’ version. Elliot comes in 2nd.
Chris seems like a swet kid, but he sings in taht “nasally” style. Elliot has a nice tone, but this was so not his type of song, so I vote for Bo who had the rock edge in his voice for this song. .
How can you even compare!!! Bo sings this song as it was meant to be.
Although I do enjoy Elliott, their renditions are elevator music.
Bo really made this song come alive!
I have to go with Elliott on this one! Love his voice and his progression on American Idol was great to watch. He just kept getting better and better all the time.
Great Elliott Performance !! No one can come close to the voice of Elliott !
