Great song…I know he is going far!!!
Movin On is a wonderland showcase of Elliott’s rich, soul-sweet vocals. Love it!
Very catchy – sounds like a hit to me! Can’t wait for his CD – great voice.
Excellent! Love his voice.
This kid’s voice has made me melt from the first moment I heard him sing. In my opinion, we have a classic, timeless R&B “chill-giver” in the making, the likes of Luther Vandross, George Benson, Freddie Jackson, Johnny Gill – Elliott’s voice can turn any moment into “the” moment. Purr.
I’m glad to see this. He was my favorite on the show!
Great voice!!! My favorite AI contstant ever and he just keeps getting better!! Can’t wait for the CD.
He has a HOT voice- very smooth.
I am SO glad to hear this! We LOVED Elliott, and I was really sad that we hadn’t heard more from him since the show. I’d really love to see him be a timeless classic type guy, and this is a great start!
This song makes me happy, happy, happy!
Great song, so glad to see Elliott doing his thing! Soulful vocalist, am looking forward to that CD
I can’t wait for his whole cd to drop.
Say I have waited for this album forever. This brother is tight.In my mind he and Fantasia are the best american idol contestant yet. I am just so glad someone had the good sense to sign him. I voted for him about a thousand times, if only I had voted just 4 more times, he probably would have made second place or maybe even win. This brother is gonna go real far.
So much soul,so much passion. The more I listen to this single, the more anxious i get waiting for the album. Say elliot if you ever read this, just keep doing what you doing, it is really refreshing. Stay true brother. So much love. I thank God for your talent. I am a total fan. Totally.
That White Boy can sing!
Check out Elliott’s newest single Wait For You…if you liked Movin On you will LOVE Wait For You!

All I can say is WOW! Movin On is Great! Wait For You is Awesome! The video clip makes me “thud”. Can’t wait for the CD. Is it March 20th yet?
Tight! So glad to see this. The first time I saw him sing the Stevie Wonder song “If you really loved me” I went Wow! As soon as I saw his stuff on I-tunes I bought it. Looking forward to more!

Thanks for this article!I got his cd and all I can say is WOW!!!!He has not disappointed,I can’t stop listening!He is one HOT brotha!!!!!He has proved who The Man is!!!!Love ya E!
Love your album. great songs with different bits, they all winners, especially Movin’ On, that’s my favorite. Nice piano play in the background. keep it Movin, Elliott.
I cannot stop listening to this CD; even my 5 year old twins request that I put it in every morning! Elliott was my fave from the beginning of the season, and was far more talented than Taylor and has WAY more charisma than Katharine. It’s wonderful to see how well he’s done for himself with his debut. Move on, you funky white boy!
Love Move On and Waiting for You, but they are not the best songs on his CD-His voice is awesome on You Are the ONe, TrainWreck and You Take My Breath Away – I even like It’s Alright==This guy can sing -He needs more publicity. His CD is great and the Bonus Tracks (Sign Your Name, WHiter SHade of Pale, Let YOur Heart Lead, I’ll Make You Dance and the You Are the One (aucoustic version) are out of thie world -they bring tears to my unemotional eyes and heart) Best male vocalist AI has ever had. I would love for him to release a CD with just love songs-and it should include, Moody Mood, It Had to be YOu, Teach Me Tonight) This CD is one that I’ll be able to listen to for years to come.
I love Elliott Yamin, but I absolutely hate this song.
