Elliot’s new album, Fight for Love, will be available May 5th! The first single is also titled ‘Fight for Love’ and the video is above.

The song is pretty good, but is Elliot rocking the mullet? OMG! I really wish he’d just go back to the short hair he had on American Idol. It was so much better.

You can download Fight for Love on Elliot Yamin on iTunes and Amazon starting May 5th.

The entertainment show TMZ takes a stab at some former Idol constants. It seems Elliott liked Britney’s comeback performance the other night and a hand full of former Idol stars are playing to less than sold out crowds.

I really don’t think this is a quality piece, but that’s the news; one sided and just out for ratings.

American Idol has a way of brining out the starts to advertise their music. Last night Marron 5 and Elliott Yamin joined the American Idol crew to try and boost album sales. And once again, I thought it made them less appealing.

First up was Elliott. Now he got third last year and it’s great to see him doing his own thing. The man can sing and sounds great. But that hair has to go. He look much older and I think he’s going to loose a lot of fans since he’s not ‘cute’ anymore. I really really do hate the hair. Please Elliott, go back to the short hair as you looked much much better and younger.

After Elliott came Maroon 5. Now I love the new song but it sounded pretty bad live. It’s amazing the amount of touching up and mastering you can do in the studio. It really was only an OK performance and maybe, if you hadn’t heard the song before, you’d never know. Download it from iTunes and you’ll notice the difference.

Then poor Melinda went home. I’m really sad and again find myself going into the finale not really caring who wins I’ve been a big Blake fan but I think Jordin will win it all. Only one more week though!

This week Elliott Yamin’s first album hit stores. Elliott took third place on American Idol, season 5. He was a lot of peoples favorite including Simon Cowell as his voice was smooth and powerful. After taking some time off to get his teeth fixed and a minor makeover, Elliott is now on the charts with this first full album.

The self titled album contains 11 tracks including:
1. Movin On
2. Wait For You
3. Find a Way
4. One Word
5. You Are the One
6. I’m the Man
7. Trainwreck
8. Free
9. Alright
10. Take My Breath Away
11. A Song For You

The iTunes version contains two bonus tracks also; Whiter Shade of Pale and In Love With You Forever.

Out of 500+ reviews on iTunes, it’s averaging 4.5 out of 5 stars gaining lots of great reviews. Amazon shoppers agree with a 4.5 our of 5 stars rating given by over 100 fans.

You can download your version on or purchase it on Amazon

I thought Elliott Yamin’s album would be out a lot earlier this year, but according to Amazon, it’s set to hit stores on March 20th. There isn’t a whole lot of information about the album out yet, however the cover art is kind of ugly. Elliott looked great on idol but his perm and blank expression on the album cover is disappointing.

The first single off the new album is “Movin’ On” and it should hit radio any day now. We have a preview of the single for your enjoyment thanks to YouTube.

I’m hoping that Elliott stays true to his Idol voice on the new album. If the preview is any indication, I think it’ll be a great compilation.
