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!!!

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!

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.
