Smokey Robinson Joss Stone “You’re The One For Me” Lyrics and Video

American Idol Fan — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 15:49:36 +0000

Just like you, I’ve been searching the net for the “You’re The One For Me” lyrics from Smokey Robinson and Joss Stone’s appearance on American Idol Motown results show Thursday, March 26. Since the “You’re The One For Me” lyrics can’t seem to be found anywhere online quite yet, I took the time to listen to “You’re The One For Me” a hundred times or more, writing down the song lyrics as the song played.

There were two lines in the lyrics to “You’re The One For Me”, where Smokey started singing in the duet with Joss Stone, that I had trouble figuring out. I’m once again posting the “You’re The One For Me” YouTube video with the lyrics I’ve written down. UPDATE: The two questionable lyric lines have been cleared up, and the complete/correct lyrics are found below.

Listen to Smokey Robinson and Joss Stone sing “You’re The One For Me”, and if anyone can decipher the two questionable lines in the lyrics, please leave a comment and I will edit the song lyrics accordingly. Don’t forget to download “You’re The One For Me” by Smokey Robinson, and you can choose to download the song with just Smokey singing, or you can download the duet performance with Joss Stone. The two lyric lines in question are highlighted in bold and italics.

“You’re The One For Me” Lyrics,
by Smokey Robinson, featuring Joss Stone

The first time I laid eyes on you
I had an instant suspicion
To be with you would become
My life’s ambition.

I knew right away, from the very first day
That somewhere down the line
I’d wake up to see you lying right next to me,
You’d be mine, all mine, all mine.

Chorus:
You’re the one for me, baby
Yeah, you’re the one baby
You’re the one for me
Anyone can see baby, yeah
You’re the one baby, you’re the one for me.

Opportunity comes knockin’
in the form of somebody new, but I don’t answer
‘Cause the door to my heart is only open to you.
Temptation around, staring me down, right in my face…
But, nobody could ever take you’re place
No one could fill your space.

Chorus:
You’re the one for me, baby
Yeah, you’re the one baby
You’re the one for me, well, well, well
Anyone can see baby, yeah
You’re the one baby, you’re the one for me.

Nobody could ever make me feel good
Like you do, ooh ooh
Nobody, but nobody, could ever thrill me so oh
I’ve got my mind made up about you
And I know, I know, it’s you, it’s you.

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, you’re the one
Oh yeah, you’re the one now
Anyone can see baby, yeah
You’re the one baby, you’re the one for me.

Baby you’re the one
You’re the one
You’re the one
ooh ooh ooh ooh yes, mm mm.

Thanks and enjoy!

Joss Stone Smokey Robinson You’re The One For Me Video American Idol

American Idol Fan — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 16:33:53 +0000

Joss Stone and Smokey Robinson sang “You’re The One For Me” on the American Idol Motown results show on Thursday, March 26th and we’ve got the YouTube Video! Smokey Robinson and Joss Stone debuted “You’re The One For Me” from Smokey’s album entitled, “Time Flies When You’re Having Fun”, tentatively scheduled for release in May 2009.

Watching 69-year-old Smokey Robinson sing a love song to soon-to-be 22-year-old Joss Stone (born Jocelyn Eve Stoker on April 11, 1987) seemed a bit strange to some Idol viewers, but I thought the performance was beautiful. Maybe some viewers didn’t like the performance because they lack chemistry, but Smokey’s voice is still amazingly smooth and beautiful to listen to, with or without Joss Stone or other female singers Smokey has performed with.

A bit about Smokey Robinson’s biography: Smokey Robinson, born William “Smokey” Robinson, Jr. on February 19, 1940, is one of the primary key figures associated with Motown Records, second only to the company’s founder, Berry Gordy. Smokey Robinson earned the title “King of Motown” due to his countless hit songs and contribution to the Motown record label. You can read more about Smokey Robinson and his sparkling green eyes on the Smokey Robinson biography profile page on Wiki.

English soul singer Joss Stone came to fame in late 2003 with her multi-platinum debut album, “The Soul Sessions“. Joss Stone songs and albums have sold over ten million copies worldwide, winning one Grammy Award and two BRIT Awards. In 2005, Stone and Melissa Ethridge did an incredible tribute to Janis Joplin during the 2005 Grammy Awards singing “Piece of My Heart” that brought the house down, and was considered to be one the highlights of the Awards show that year.

Here’s the Joss Stone and Smokey Robinson YouTube video of “You’re The One For Me” onÂ American Idol March 26.

What did you think of Joss Stone and Smokey Robinson’s performance on American Idol? Who is your favorite American Idol contestant on Season 8?

American Idol 3/26/09 Idol Results – Who Got Voted Off American Idol?

American Idol Fan — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 01:10:12 +0000

Who got voted off on American Idol’s results show on 3-26-09? Who was eliminated and who is safe on American Idol? Who were in the Bottom 3? American Idol fans enjoyed some amazing Idol performances and some Idol duds. Motown greats Smokey Robinson and Berry Gordy appeared as mentors to the Top 10 finalists, giving Idol contestants encouragement and constructive criticism about their chosen Motown songs.

“Over 36 million votes came in, more votes than previous American Idol shows”, says Idol host Ryan Seacrest. Seacrest reminded viewers that the “veto vote” save is still in play, but will the save vote be used tonight?

In celebration of Hittsville USA, the Top 10 finalists sang a Motown songs medley of “Set Me Free”, “You’re All I Need” and “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”, for Idol viewers. It sounded pretty good, don’t ya think?

After the “Pocketful of Sunshine” car video was shown, Ruben Studdard hit the Idol stage to perform his hit song “Together”. I’ve haven’t followed Ruben close enough since he was a past American Idol contestant, but he sounded great!

Joss Stone and Smokey Robinson sang “You’re The One For Me” together, and my interest in Joss Stone and Smokey Robinson’s music is even greater now. Didn’t they sound great? The audience and judges sure enjoyed it!

Who are the bottom 3 Idol contestants this week? Who was voted off American Idol on 3/26/09? The results are in!

Bottom Three American Idol Performers:

Matt Giraud – Wow! No way!
Michael Sarver – Yeah, no surprise there
Scott MacIntyre – Definitely

Ryan Seacrest told Scott MacIntyre he was safe (are you kidding me?!) and told to go sit with the other safe contestants.

Stevie Wonder rocked the Idol stage with a medley of his hit songs including: “My Cherie Amor”, “Superstition”, “Castle of Love”, “Overjoyed” and “All About The Love”. Stevie Wonder is a spectacular singer and performer! Can’t get enough of Stevie!

Michael Sarver was voted off American Idol on tonight’s results show, receiving the lowest number of votes. Will Michael be saved by the judge’s veto vote with a final performance singing “Ain’t Too Proud To Beg”? After taking too much time deciding on whether to save Michael or not, Simon Cowell announced “Michael, you’re going home”. Dang, that was harsh.

Breakdown list of the guys and girls who are safe:

Adam Lambert is Safe

Kris Allen is Safe

Lil Rounds is Safe

Megan Joy is (surprisingly) Safe

Anoop Desai is Safe

Matt Giraud is Safe

Danny Gokey is Safe

Scott MacIntyre is Safe

Allison Iraheta is Safe

Michael Sarver is gone and we’re now down the Top 9 Finalists! Who are you voting for? Who do you think will be The Next American Idol?
