Week 2 (Movie Song)

[Elliott Yamin]

I Believe I Can Fly by R.Kelly
from Space Jam

Video Intro (Why I Chose It):
I chose this song because I believe it appeals to many different audiences out there. The message behind the song, is such a strong message that should be conveyed to everyone, it gives hope. So I am hoping that I can spread some love and hope this week!


* * *


I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

[1]
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me, oh

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

[Repeat 1]

Hey, cuz I believe in me, oh

If I can see it, then I can be it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

[Repeat 1]

Hey, if I just spread my wings
I can fly
I can fly
I can fly, hey
If I just spread my wings
I can fly
Fly-eye-eye

Elliot, you stepped up to the plate this time & a certain improvement. This song was right for you and hit everything just right. You listened to all of us judges and it paid off this time. Great Job!

[Randy Jackson]

I know that I'm in the minority when I say this, but I am so sick and tired of this song. I mean sure, some people find it inspirational. Some find it uplifting. I find it slow and plodding.

With that being said, I really feel like you took the crap material and owned it - I mean you kept me from falling asleep, and that is highly commendable. It shows you can sing ... and I'm sure you'll be singing against next week.

[Elliott Yamin]

Wow, thanks so much Paula and Randy!
