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.

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?

American Idol 3/25/09 Motown Recap LIVE Review – American Idol Fan Site

American Idol Fan — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 02:05:35 +0000

American Idol 3-25-09 Recap review of American Idol “50 Years of Motown” Music of Motown LIVE Recap! American Idol’s Motown Special Night presentation began with Idol host, Ryan Seacrest, talking to Idol judges about the great Motown songs to be performed tonight by the American Idol Top 10 Finalists.

Classic Motown performances of Detroit-based Motown, with Berry Gordy (Founder of Motown) and Smokey Robinson are in store for Idol fans tonight. The Top 10 Idol contestants were shown touring Motown (Hittsville U.S.A) with Gordy and Smokey Robinson and discussing the great classic Motown songs performed there.

First up was Matt Giraud singing Marvin Gaye’s hit song “Let’s Get It On“. Idol judge Randy Jackson said “Yo! You worked it out baby!” Kara DioGuardi liked Matt’s performance, but felt Matt “could have pushed it a little more”. Paula Abdul said Matt was “respectful of the melody, great job”. Simon said it was a “brilliant choice of song, you’re voice suits that song”, and that Matt is “one of the front-runners of this competition”. We agree, Matt sang “Let’s Get It On” very well, and deserves the applause from the judges and audience.

Next up was Kris Allen singing “How Sweet It Is“. Kara DioGuardi loved the performance saying “You did everything right on that performance”. Paula Abdul said he “picked a great song” and was “brilliant”. Simon Cowell said Kris was “smart” to choose that song, but he needs more “self-belief” and to “be conceited” to make an impact. Randy Jackson said “it was all good baby”. We agree with the judges, Kris did a good job, but Kris needs to challenge himself more in his song choices.

Third to sing was Scott MacIntyre singing “You Can’t Hurry Love” by Diana Ross and The Supremes. Paula Abdul said Scott “brought it” with his song choice. Simon said “it was completely the wrong song for you” and “a bit cheap”. Randy Jackson agreed with Simon saying “it was a hotel type of performance”, but “nothing great happened” with the performance. Kara said Scott brought some tempo to the song, “took some liberties with the song” and it needed to perfect, but wasn’t.

As Simon continued to say that Scott’s performance wasn’t very good, Paula Abdul gave Simon a box of crayons and a coloring book since Simon “was acting like a 6-year-old”. That was funny! Scott does “okay” as a singer, but he’s just not Idol material.

Next up was Megan Joy singing “For Once In My Life“, after having the flu last week. Randy Jackson said her outfit was great but the song “was a train wreck” and didn’t like how rushed the song was. Kara said the song took over Megan and didn’t like the song choice. Paula liked her outfit but the song was the wrong song choice and too high pitched for her voice. Simon said the song “was horrible and atrocious” and that Megan “could be in serious trouble” with the voters. I didn’t care for Megan’s performance tonight, and have to agree with the judges that she chose the wrong song for her voice. Uh-Oh Megan!

Anoop Desai next sang Smokey Robinson’s “Ooh Baby Baby“. Kara said there were moments she felt Anoop connected to the song and that he did a good job singing, but wants Anoop to “push it more”. Paula said Anoop has a new-found confidence and his vocals were “sweet”. Simon said he did a “great vocal” but appeared bored and needs more “showmanship”. Randy said Anoop needs more energy and needs to “bring the party on” next week. I think Anoop did a very good job, but I did hear some pitchy places and would like to see Anoop do more uptempo songs.

Next to sing was Michael Sarver, who missed the group’s visit to Motown due to being sick, performed “Ain’t To Proud To Beg“. Paula said it felt “Old Las Vegas” to her and Michael needs to “really be dominating that song and not the reverse”. Simon couldn’t “wait for the song to end”, has “no chance to win this competition” and it was below par and “not good enough”. Randy said the “song was a little too big” for Michael and the song became too “corny”. Kara said Michael needs to show his “artist” personality, above and beyond the singing. I thought the song started out pretty good, but it fell apart the more he sang. Michael has a great heart and a great voice, but this was probably not the best song choice for him.

Lil Rounds took the stage to perform “Heat Wave” and hopes to make the “Hittsville” alumna proud of her tonight. Randy said the beginning of the song was “torture” for him to hear and was “not the best performance”. Kara said if Lil Round “doesn’t nail this week” then she’s in line for elimination, and that Lil was “screaming” the song rather than singing. Paula liked it and said Lil “owned that song”. Simon said it was the wrong song choice, performed too fast and said Lil should have considered “Heard It Through The Grapevine”, and said Lil is “one of the best singers in this competition”. Lil Rounds is a very good singer but she keeps choosing the wrong songs for her voice. Hopefully she’ll last long enough in this competition to show us what she really do as a singer.

Next up was Adam Lambert singing “Tracks Of My Tears“, another of Smokey Robinson’s songs. Kara said “one of the best performances of the night”. Paula said she likes Adam’s “clean look” with no nail polish and Adam is “exciting”. Simon said “it was THE BEST PERFORMANCE” of the night thus far. Randy said it was “unbelievably hot”. Adam is amazing in his abilities to perform such a sweet, tender song the way he did. Adam made Tracks Of My Tears his own and I agree wholeheartedly that Adam’s performance was the BEST performance of the night. So far. We’ve still got a couple more to go.

Danny Gokey took the Idol stage to sing “Get Ready“. Paula Abdul said Danny gave a first-class performance. Simon said it was “clumsy and amateurish”. Randy loved the “energy and feeling” of the performance, but said it wasn’t his best performance. Kara said it was good but not the best she’s seen from Danny. I liked the energy and uptempo aspect to Danny’s performance, but there were definitely some pitchy areas with higher notes that made a pretty good beginning not end very well. I doubt this performance will put Danny in any jeopardy of elimination, but hopefully Danny will take the criticism from the judges and make a better song choice next week.

Last, but not least, Allison Iraheta sings “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone” by The Temptations. Randy said Allison “was blazin’ hot”. Kara said the performance was “amazing”. Paula said “you are awesome, you belong in the competition, you are amazing”. Simon said Allison’s performance was “one of the best performances” she’s ever done. Allison rocked Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone! It was great to see her really let loose and really rock a performance. Great job Allison!

So, there you have it! Who do you feel gave the best performance of the night? Who are you voting for? What is your prediction of who be in the bottom of this week’s vote?

Since the day that we met girl
I aint never had anyone make me feel this way
And my heart is sure it wants to be with you
Wanna give you the whole world

If you make that promise to me, you’re gonna stay
Without you here with me, I’m lost and so confused

Girl everyday I hope to make you a part of my life
Cause you love me and I love you
girl your know that’s where it’s at

I’m gonna be the one that’s gonna last
And be the one that got your back

And though we both made our mistakes
And some we never wish we made
But we’ll be okay if we just stay together

And you paid the price when you messed up your life oh

But I can’t right the wrongs he made
I know you saw the lipstick on my window
And wonder’n how many chick’s been to my home
I’ve done my share of playing games
But for you I’ve given up my ways

What will it take to show you I’ll be by your side
Girl I got you and I want to give you what you never had
Girl everyday I hope to make you a part of my life
Cause you love me and I love you
Girl your love is where it’s at

And be the one that got your back
Ain’t nothing never that bad that we won’t be together
And though we both made our mistakes
And some we never wish we made
But we’ll be okay if we just stay together

Baby you’re the one I’ve waited for
Because you give me what I need and more
Girl it’s clear that we are meant to be
Together,
We should be together
Eternally
