Elliott Yamin - "One Word" Music Video

Why did the make Elliott Yamin jump around and try to dance in his music video for "One Word"? And is it just me or are his khaki pants belted too high? Also, he looks best in the car (natural/casual) rather than the big hair, trendy fedora or semi-slicked (pictured) looks.

His voice is great, I love this song but I think the video feels "forced."

Elliott Yamin Christmas Album

Yes, Elliott Yamin is Jewish, but he loves Christmas music. The songs include: “This Christmas”, “Little Drummer Boy”, “Merry Christmas, Baby”, “The Christmas Song” and “Jingle Bells”.

Elliott also recorded three originals: “A Very Merry Christmas”, “Let’s be Naughty (And Save Santa the Trip)” and “Warm Me Up”.

Elliott Yamin LIVE - June 12, 2007

I had the pleasure to see Elliott Yamin perform live at the small, but famous venue Slim's in San Francisco. With less than 400 people inside, it was an intimate show where we were all afforded a fantastic view and could easily hear his beautiful voice.

After the show, he stayed as long as he could for meet-and-greets even though he needed to be on the bus ASAP in order to get to L.A. for press at 5am the next morning. I brought my copy of his CD and he autographed it and shook my hand while thanking me for supporting him.

I hope he continues to make music and tour because I am officially a Yaminiac!
