Elliott Yamin Video for “One Word”

Elliott Yamin’s new video! Elliott looks great for the most part (boo on the white suit). Too bad the chick cast in the video has dead eyes. It’s a little creepy…

    Elliott looks great! Wow….
    He is sucha star now, he deserves it so much.
    I think this song will be a big hit too just like Wait For You.
    He is in a roll. Good for him, he deserves it.

    Wow, its amazing he was able to ride his first single for so long! Elliott is by far one of my favorite Idols!

    I wished I liked this video more. It borders too close to the edge of cheesy to suit me. Maybe he’ll get new fans with it. Who knows? :confused_ee:

    Elliott looks and sounds great. He was one of my favorites on Idol and I’m very happy at his success. Great song too!

    I’m afraid I’m not feeling the white suit shots too much, either, but I like the close ups, especially those that show E in the fedora.

    I concur with everyone here, classic car & fedora are great.

    Is it just me or is the makeup and hair just a little too much? She looks older than Elliott here. I guess I just imagine him with someone who looks cute and sweet. Not some throwback to the 80’s model. LOL MJ, “dead eyes” on her, indeed.

    And yes, the white suit and chandeliers? I was waiting for him to bust out in a rap. :smirk2_ee:

    Still love the song and still loves me some Elliott. He seems to be a good kisser.

    one word: amazing.

    But I have to agree, the white suit and the girl I could have done without.

    Good, the video is aesthetically appealing, and looks very high production, which is something I thought the Wait For You video did not have. Storyline is pretty lame considering it’s basically the same one from the Wait For You Video, except Elliott’s chasing the girl this time instead of waiting for her. He’s gonna need to switch up the whole basic me and a beautiful girl storyline if he has a third video, but anyway I did think it was better than the WFY video, and I like the recurrence of amazing. Hope this helps the song, since its been struggling to get off the ground.

    Also if Elliott’s gonna dance in his videos that awkward swinging his arms slightly, and moving a round a little isn’t gonna cut it. His “dance moves” look really bad in the video, so get some lessons, or no dancing for you Elliott.

    grr. aol won’t play on my computer

  13. 13 rachrach Nov 16th, 2007 at 2:25 pm

    Loveeee the video.
    I loved everything about it.

    So much better than “wait for you”

    He loooks absolutely stunning.
    beautiful Elliott, beautiful

    I love the video. It worked for me on all levels. Loved the kissing. (Hehehe)

    It was great that Aaron and Russell were in the car with him. Also loved seeing “Amazing” pop up on so many things.

    Jaime would have been great in the video, but sometimes it’s best for couples to not work together. She was busy working anyway.

    Elliott looked great in the video, IMO.

    I love One Word and Love the video. Elliott Looks GREAT ! Thanks for Posting mj !

  16. 16 Taratova Nov 16th, 2007 at 7:11 pm

    I too love the video. Love the classic car with Ellott driving. Very nostalgic and fun to watch. Also Ellott gives me goosebumps with that voice.. and he is looking good too… :thumbup_tb:

  17. 17 daisy Nov 16th, 2007 at 7:17 pm

    whoa whee, Elliott looking real good, love this song, hope it’s a big hit like Wait for you- still crushing on the E man (:

  18. 18 Lu Nov 16th, 2007 at 9:22 pm

    so that girl did not look like she wanted to kiss elliott at all…and why has nobody mentioned his hair when he’s wearing that white suit?!?! Holy hell it’s all greased back and looks like a mullet. Elliott, I love you, but why must you make these decisions?

  21. 21 Tracy Nov 17th, 2007 at 12:55 am

    Overall, I like it but I wasn’t crazy about the white suit either.

  22. 22 star Nov 17th, 2007 at 10:05 am

    Oh hey, was this shot in Nashville?

  23. 23 Lu Nov 17th, 2007 at 10:34 am

    Yes Star - It was shot in Nashville. :)

  24. 24 marco5ny Nov 17th, 2007 at 10:45 am

    Those awkward dance moves and that white suit…Yikes! The one word you’re looking for is “edit.”

  25. 25 Lu Nov 17th, 2007 at 11:47 am

    Aww… I like his dance moves - but hey, I love the guy and I can’t help it. Go Elliott!

  26. 26 bambambam Nov 17th, 2007 at 12:14 pm

    Product in the hair is a good look for him. Really. He’s been seen in so many incarnations, I think it underscores the way his voice and tremendous taste about music has always been his hook, not some superficial pin-up image.

  27. 27 star Nov 17th, 2007 at 12:26 pm

    Yes Star - It was shot in Nashville. :)

    Thanks Lu! I thought I recognized downtown.

  28. 28 JOJOSIE Nov 17th, 2007 at 5:10 pm

    Sorry, the song is good but the video is just not. He does look good with the hat, but the gal is too old and much too glamorous for Elliott. It looks fakey. I wish they’d have used a pretty, natural looking girl and left the cheese out. Love is blind so I’m sure his fans will think it’s great.

  29. 29 jpfan Nov 17th, 2007 at 6:07 pm

    I’m a big Elliott fan and think the girl is horrible, hate the white suit and agree it’s too cheesy. The part of idol fandom where you have to support everything they do 1000% is ridiculous.

  30. 30 mj Nov 17th, 2007 at 6:08 pm

    Love is blind so I’m sure his fans will think it’s great.

    Don’t put words in other people’s mouths. It’s rude.

    Things I love about the video -
    Elliott and his band members riding in the car
    The word Amazing all over the place
    The fedora
    The fact that I get to watch Elliott sing

    The things that are just okay -
    The white room scene
    The girl in the vid

    I’m just happy he has a video and he didn’t fade into oblivion as many predicted.

  32. 32 MOMster Nov 18th, 2007 at 1:03 am

    JOJOSIE - I agree that they should have used a more natural girl for the vid.

    One Word is now finally being played in Philippine radio stations (in popular station, Magic 89.9, at least). It won Magic’s Pick of the Week today, beating OneRepublic’s Stop and Stare.

  34. 34 sammy Nov 18th, 2007 at 4:34 pm

    Elliott looks pretty darn good to me in the video, but I have to agree the white outfit is awful and the girl just looks wrong. That being said, I’ve watched it ten times.LOL.
