Elliott Yamin finished third on fifth season of American Idol. He signed a deal with indie label, Hickory/RED, and released this as his debut single. It was produced by Stargate. It peaked at #13 on the Hot 100 and #4 at CHR/Pop. This song was nothing special, but I didn't think it was bad. I just feel that he's never recorded material that's worthy of his voice.

This was the only halfway decent song on his debut album, and it faded quickly for me.

I really love it. I've heard this song off and on through the years and I don't remember being that fond of it, but I rediscovered it earlier this year and I've been listening to it a lot. I actually bought a used copy of his debut album for a penny (plus S&H) because there are at least a couple other good songs on the album, so I thought it was worth getting.

When Chris Daughtry was eliminated, I thought he should have been the winner, not Taylor Hicks, ew. But I like this one. I agree that he didn't do much that was worthy of his voice. I liked "Movin' On" and "3 Words" by him, and I liked them way more than this.

I meant to put this in the Mario Vasquez "Gallery" thread  I've always been a huge fan of "Wait For You" but I've never heard his album. |

He was my favorite Idol contestant ever, and I couldn't wait for his debut album. Then he put out something that sounded like a Backstreet Boys song...

I love Elliott's music, I think all of his three albums are decent. He has the best male voice from any finalist on Idol. "Wait For You" hasn't gotten old for me.

Should have won American Idol over Taylor Hicks and Daughtry. Rigged.

I wouldn't say rigged because that would mean they wanted him to win, which, no.
Really enjoyed this. I kept waiting for more hits to come, and they never did. Undeniably one of the best male voices to come out of American Idol.

Oh my God, I have a funny tale involving this song. When I became obsessed with this song, my mom began wondering, "Why are you playing this song? Why are you waiting? Is there some guy from the Internet who'll come over and fly all the way here? Am I gonna have to sleep on the couch?"

Liked him but thought this song was super generic. Was surprised it did so well.
