Live And Loud 2007: Elliott Yamin

Elliot Yamin made his debut appearance in Malaysia at the Live and Loud '07 concert. Elliott is no stranger to the world with his latest hit single "Wait For You", which is airing on your local radio stations (particularly hitz.fm and MIX fm). i was handling a couple of winners who won meet and greet passes with the stars. We only managed to meet Elliot Yamin though because Whitney and Shaggy denied their meet and greet sessions.
so there he was, standing right in front of tent obligingly answering questions from the interviewers. he never turned down a request for a quick photo with him and was more than happy to interact with his fans. he is a lot shorter in person (maybe because i'm just tall), and also smaller, but fortunately, not his voice.

Elliott came on stage to perform at about 7.30pm, giving a full fledge up beat performance like he normally does on Idol and ending his set with his latest single "wait for you" which got the crowd singing along with him.
Elliott is a great example of and individual who is dedicated and passionate about what he does. Elliott Yamin is 90% deaf in his right ear and was diagnosed with Type I Diabetes at the age of 16. But that doesn't stop him from pursuing his dream as an artiste, which finally paid off after joining American Idol.
damn i look weird

Those are fantastic pics, Jin. I'm glad you enjoyed Elliott's performance. I'm administrator of the Yaminions Y-Pod, may I use one of your pics (I promise, just one!) to post about the KL concert? Please go check the Y-Pod to see what we have. (We also have lots of media there if you're interested, including mp3s and videos from Elliott's visit to the Philippines recently.)

I totally missed him due to some screw up at the door. Only managed to hear him while I was queing (yep, the ticket I bought turned out to be a free pass..and I had to queue..a really long queue..damn pissed off).

He closed his set with Movin On I think.wasnt it? Or was that the DJ?

Jin said...

yeah i think he closed his set with Movin on, i wasn't sure of the song title, right after he sang wait for you i went backstage to snap some pictures of other artistes :)

imogen_ph said...

Thanks for the info. So he sang Wait For You and Movin' On. How many songs all in all though, 3 or 4? Is his album already available in Malaysia? Check out some mp3s I made here
