[Elliott Yamin]

A Song For Mama

[/b] by Boyz II Men[/b][/center]

Video Intro (Why I Chose This Song):
I chose this song to dedicate to all the moms out there, especially mine. I felt that this song fits my vocals very well, and I love the inspiration behind the song. And I hope it inspires everyone else!

Lyrics:
You taught me everything
And everything youve given me
I always keep it inside
Youre the driving force in my life, yeah
There isnt anything
Or anyone I can be
And it just wouldnt feel right
If I didnt have you by my side
You were there for me to love and care for me
When skies were grey
Whenever I was down
You were always there to comfort me
And no one else can be what you have been to me
Youll always be you always will be the girl
In my life for all times

Chorus:
Mama, mama you know I love you
Oh you know I love you

Mama, mama youre the queen of my heart
Your love is like
Tears from the stars
Mama, I just want you to know
Lovin you is like food to my soul
Youre always down for me
Have always been around for me even when I was bad
You showed me right from my wrong
Yes you did
And you took up for me
When everyone was downin me
You always did understand
You gave me strength to go on
There was so many times
Looking back when I was so afraid
And then you come to me
And say to me I can face anything
And no one else can do
What you have done for me
Youll always be
You will always be the girl in my life

Chorus

Elliot....






















You took a gamble with this song, I can't determine whether I like it or not...I'll have to see the other song to see if I like your performance overall or not.

[Kara DioGuardi]

This is the finale. You, Danny, and David all deserve this.

This song was not the BEST for me, but it was good. I'm still excited to see your other performance.

[Paula Abdul]

Hi, Congrats on making F3 i really loved this song and i know its hard coming out here first it was not your best but it was not bad either

[Jason Mraz]

To be honest, this is not a finale performance for me! I like it, but its definitely not the best.

[Celine Dion]

I love that you chose this song because I know it has a special meaning to you because of what has happened in your life. I'm in tears Elliott, great job!
