New Video: Omarion – ‘Hoodie’

Published: Saturday 19th Dec 2009 by Sam

The video for Omarion’s latest single ‘Hoodie’ premièred a few moments ago. Said to be dedicated to the King of Pop Michael Jackson, the clip isn’t bad at all. We oft have much to say about Omarion, but there’s no denying he’s a ridiculously talented dancer – a fact really driven home even more so in this video. Also worth a mention is how much I’m liking the overall visual of the video; the gritty, cinematic-like feel he evidently was going for, really works.

That said, I can’t say the song or the way Omarion’s been ‘singing’ as of late (talk-rapping with an awkward vocoder effect) really move me in anyway. It’s as if there’s this wealth of potential with Omari, yet he never quite gets it right.

In any case, his new LP ‘Ollusion’ hits stores January 12th 2010.

What do you think of the song/video?

    @Tlmusik
    oh cool, lets get a good dancer in the street and make him “sing” with auto tune, thats what makes a singer isnt it? rofl, I miss the times when SINGERS didnt have to be triple threats (sing dance and act)

    @123456789 You know what the hell I meant..My opinion>>>>>>>Your sarcasm..

    did the rapper say he smokes a “rock” when he smokes his tree? lmao….so if you smoke crack and then smoke weed…. does that make you 2x as high? LMAO!!! …….anyway, i’m not really feeling the song, the video was cute though. i wouldn’t call him “the best dancer around” though, i think chris brown still holds that title. Omarion just doesn’t have that appeal since B2K broke up maybe there should be a B2K reunion in the works (not saying that any one would care though) lol

  11. imjustsaying December 19, 2009

    No Spike, Jay Rock said “I smoke BARACK (the president), you know that presidential” get it together lol

  12. imjustsaying December 19, 2009

    i love the video because omarion came with a better concept and a story and the dancing is off the chain! big ups to jay rock and king tight [his dancer]

  13. FollowOnTwitter December 19, 2009

    Follow Omarion on Twitter. @1Omarion

  14. spike December 19, 2009

    @IMJUSTSAYING ….LMAO I didn’t know what the heck he was saying lol, i just went with the first thing i thought i heard lol

  15. Erica December 19, 2009

    BRAVO!! I have to say, this is really good. It’s not often video’s don’t show big booty women shakin’ all the time…just back to straight up entertainment. I love it Omarion, Much success for you!!

  16. Joe December 19, 2009

    This was a good video and song but lets be honest chris brown will drag him in dancing lol im just saying…

  17. S*** December 19, 2009

    O.K song & worthy enough video but the lyrics are Lame & Weak…

  18. …still nothing December 19, 2009

    I think O is the best dancer out there right now. His moves are both smooth and controlled, and he always comes with something new. His choreography is on point, and it never looks like he`s trying TOO hard. I think he could put on an amazing show, but this “singing” s***…

    WHAT IS THIS NOISE COMING OUT OF HIS MOUTH?

    He`s starting to sound like Rihanna and I don`t like it one effing BIT. He`s never been a great singer, but to completely stop trying .. he sounds retarded. Not even the stupid people would buy this b*******. I suggest he tries again.

  19. Alex December 19, 2009

    ehhh…I’m not feeling the rap/singing hes been doing lately. The video is cheap but its okay. He def is a talented dancer, maybe he could replace Shane Sparks on Americas Best Dance Crew.

  20. eqvilim December 19, 2009

    ok wtf is omarion talking about? with his hoddie on? good video bad song.

  21. D00DaS M0M December 19, 2009

    The video is okay, the song is horrible. In fact the video would be 10x better if the song was at least “LISTENABLE” (if thats a word). That whole rapping/talking/low voice singing stuff isn’t working for me. The first single I was like okay, but for the follow up NO SIR. If his whole CD is this way it will be sooooo WHACK!!! What happened to REAL R&B singers???? Omarion please stop this madness. Go back to making songs like “O’ and “Icebox” It’s getting me upset as I type! LOL. Sidenote: I initially thought that was just a random girl in the video, but someone said that it was his mother, if so she looks very good for her age! That’s Awesome! Also his jeans are a WEE-BIT too tight to me. And also Omarion is a great dancer but Chris Brown entertains better because he dances with way more energy!

  22. Erica December 20, 2009

    oh and him and Chris Brown should do a Michael Jackson tribute together, that would be CRAZYYYYYYYYYYYYY…1:20 I loved that part..it was hot and different…it stood out alot!

  23. Kyla December 20, 2009

    LOVED the appearance by his mother! Good black don’t crack cause see look danm near 20!
    Ok song, ok dance routine (seen him do WAY better).

    Fashion is like oxygen for women. Your clothing is an art, women have dominated in recent years. Now, clearly the most fashionable clothing is not the only way, it looks good. make Chanel cheap patent Louis Vuitton handbags, shoes, hair clips, jewelry apart from all the prestige factor in a woman’s perspective.
