Elliott has had many amazing performances on AI, on TV, on Tour, and at other appearances. Please post a link to your favorite Elliott performance to share the Elliott love.

I'll start off with Elliott's first performance of "Moody's Mood For Love" on American Idol. He was incredible and he had me from the first note. Look at Chris, Bucky and Sway in the background. They really loved it. Link:

Thank you for starting this thread, georgiafan1. This is going to be fun!

You and chloewannabee already posted two of my favourites and boy it's really hard to choose just one performance from all the others but I have to say Elliott performing I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know is incredible. So here it is:

Well, this truely is a VERY difficult task.....btw, the three posted so far are DEF three of my favorites, but I'll try to choose a different one. My favorite here lately has been the wonderful acoustic version of Movin On Elliott did at the United Nations for World Diabetes Day. It was such a relaxed version and the vocals were just amazing, plus I love the way the video was made and the sound quality is good......enjoy!!

If I may take the liberty to post my favorite WFY...that one is from Great Adventure. He sings it with such passion.

OMG!!!!!!!!
I was standing right at his feet at the stage thanks to Mr. Sharonburr and Doxie with Donny'sgirl. We just about passed OUT!!1I remember it so well, yet it's a blur...does that make sense?

Are you kidding me??? You were actually there for this performance??? I would give anything to have seen this live. Fantastic!!

Well, I guess I'm not gonna get any work done today!
The Movin on is WOW!!!!!!! That's the day we went to see Elliott at Montel

And the day at :cheerleaders: Great Adventure was truly a GREAT ADVENTURE!!!!!!

It was at the State Fair concert. We had already heard him sing it when he was doing the soundcheck. We were all standing outside the semi-open air theater and could hear the whole thing! It was like going to 2 concerts! And to think, that was his first solo gig! It was other-worldly!!!
I hope and pray that he will record a"live " album one of these days.(like tomorrow)!

you'd better stay away from this thread while at work :rotfl:

oooohhhhh, to have been there........


I DID listen to the concert via cell cert. I remember very clearly...I was out walking my dog listening to ILYMTYEK, and I thought I was gonna die.....even over a cell phone, that was truely a once in a life time performance.

There is so many "Home" and "one" with Mary J.
This is one of my favs.

who video this one? It was in DC.

I know it's so hard to choose a favorite,there's so many but I agree,I love you more than you'll ever know,and the Movin' On for the diabetes is the best yet!That is my very favorite ever!

This is when I fell in love with
that "VOICE" & that sweet humble personality.

I was there too. It was experiencing this song that made me realize Elliott was going to be a big success! I would love for him to put this on a CD for everyone to hear. :awe:

Well, ILYMTYEK is still my favorite live performance, but this one was a delightful surprise and I wish he'd do this song acoustically more often:

The reverberations of the large space just make this even more haunting. I just LOVE this sound!

WOW... I hadn't seen that before.

I'm the Man is not one of my favorites on the album, but this version is.....
I guess you said it right....."haunting".

That was great!

I loved that performance, too. Haunting is right...from the Glorietta soundcheck to the Market! Market! performance the next night, I definitely was "haunted." ;) Certainly my favorite of his Manila performances. :)

Wish I could have been there to hear it live... it must have induced goosebumps!!!

Wow, talk about tough decisions.

Linda that was my favorite WFY, and you found the best video of it too. Although live... if possible... sounded even better.

I thought this was a great video of ASFY from Workplay in Alabama

And from AI Trouble

but I love all posted :awe:

Thanks, everybody, for the great links to great Elliott performances. Please keep them coming.

It is just amazing how Elliott can sing songs with such feelings and never sing the songs the same way twice. He really has a special gift. I'm a proud fan. :elliottcap:

I certainly had goosebumps, Cathy. Especially during that sound check, since it was my first time to hear him sing I'm The Man (he didn't sing it the first night) and sing like that...he certainly "caressed" (apologies to Barry Manilow) that song. I "fell in love" that time (not necessarily with E, but I felt "in love"). Heh. ;)

Amen, G!! That first note is still my ring tone to date! I watched the vid again, and damn, that boy can sing!! I totally fell in love with his voice on this performance!

Is it just me...or do you guys think Elliott was sexay hanging on to the mic stand? LOL! :thud: I could hear @ 4:16 a comment of awe...was that you Chloe?...and omg and more toward the end! Love it!

Yeah, I think it must just be you, Toni.

(yeah right!) :awe:

:awe: :awe:

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Toni, It's funny you should think that, but I don't think it's me. But at 4:26, someone says "oh my God", and I have always thought that was me. But I don't know. I sure know I said that more than once at that performance :rotfl:
