Pepsi Unleashes Elton John, Melanie Amaro Super Bowl Ad

Well here it is. And it is quite the extravagant production. We like. Created by TBWA\Chiat\Day and titled King's Court, the ad features X Factor winner Melanie Amaro singing a version of Otis Redding's Respect recorded specifically for the ad to a kingly Elton John. The ad was directed by Noam Murro. Pepsi fans who Shazam the spot during the game will be able to view Amaro's music video for Respect.

her voice at the end... when she says "Pepsi for all" she reminds me of Raven from That's So Raven xd

[@LutheranChica]

Just found out that Melanie Amaro is the winner of X Factor. And this was already my favorite commercial. My life is made.

[@Jarrett8338]

I love that she is not trying to change the song she just adds her own twist to it

[@DJMichaelAngelo]

SWEET!!! I was hoping to find this commercial here, this was THEE BEST cover version of "Respect" ever recorded! production was just brilliant

[@TheonHafet300]

@DolceShinningStars I could see it: Elton John: "Alright, Pepsi for you." Chris: "Homie whatchu trippin' on? Pepsi for ALL!!" *hits switch*

[@TwilightNut27]

This was awesome!!! I loved everything!!! Soooo glad Melanie Amaro won!!!

[@oldppls]

[@EvanTheBlue]

Best part was the end ... YEAH BOYYY !!!

[@XxXFUNNYBUNNYXx]

I really enjoyed her commercial (:

[@ethancd808]

guys...this is not her official debut single, she said so on twitter. Her "Respect" remix is merely for Pepsi and its commercial.

[@ukeinfused]

how could a gigantic commercial like this one miss the fact that she grabbed the chalice with her left and threw it with her right (meanwhile somehow grabbing the pepsi and switching it to her left hand)?

[@Marty2978b]

I can't believe the video leaked!! that's crazy!!

[@moppy1998]

This Pepsi commercial reminds me of Remember the Time by MJ. The beginning of the video. Melanie home girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Kristen_Mathieu]

Wow Melanie is a really good singer!!!! Love this commercial!!

[@alfredcaulin]

flavor flave's time piece is a sun dial. that kicks azz!

[@Skullyantor]

Hahaha omg Elton sounded like a little dissapointed kid at the end. I love you elton

[@assassssasa]

Thank you Pepsi for a brilliant brainstorm: FLAVA FLAV FOR X-FACTOR JUDGE!

[@ZachCattell]

First of all, why is Elton John wearing heels. Second of all Melanie has a really good voice, I'm glad she won X Factor.

[@freakyeah95]

am i the only one who thinks of the remember the time video by mj when she walks up and elton says "what do you do"?

[@jordyn771]

SHE ROCKS!!!!!! I LOVE THIS COMMERCIAL!!!!!!!

[@cookiemonster2931]

I LOVE IT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS 4 LIKE EVER!!!!!!!!!

[@bartdude82]

MELANIE! You are amazing!

[@xero9333]

Holy crap no wonder she won x factor!! Love her voice!!!

[@SiiNzValentino]

Melanie is definatly still going to be famous in the deep future because of her massive talent!!!!!!!!!

[@Kzainer123]

I first saw this commercial today. When I saw it, I had to stop and watch her sing. She sounds phenominal. No one has a voice like hers, but her speaking voice sounds exactly like Raven-Symoné from That's So Raven :)

[@ajamaicanparadox1]

@freakyeah95 I'm glad I'm not the only one who peeped that this commercial was based off of the "Remember the Time" music video

[@ggjc137]

I Lovee This. Melanie is Amazzing!

[@Abataba3]

MELANIE AMARO

[@j0hke]

Hey, it's the guy who sang "The Circle of Life" from the Lion King. :)

[@cr9ichikross]

i can't take looking at Elton John's shoes... I just can't.

[@IvyChanell]

I loved the end with Flavor Flav! Damn that girl can sing her ass off!

[@dhw314]

WOW, his boots and heels were almost as high as Melanie's. LOL

[@MegaEddy360]

that was pretty cool. i ben lookin fwd 2 that 4 along time

[@angel1237891]

she sounds just like raven-symone

[@mikemo949]

nick rodriguez raven could neva'

[@Ledgar64]

Wow!...what a babe! She is amazing. Best vocalist anywhere and beyond gorgeous. She is freakin' HOT! I love you Melanie!

[@tinaboydedmondson]

melanie amaro you rocked that pepsi commercial yeeeaaahhh girlllllllllll black girls rock. boomkack!!!!!!!!!

[@leeland2859]

Melanie amaro is awesome! :D this commercial is awesome! :)

[@RNLovelyRussell]

Funny commercial, wish the end was longer. I think "SOMEONE WANTS TO DO THE LIFE STORY OF AREATHA FRANKLIN" that is being cast now.

[@mihijovictor2507]

Dios.......... Alli tienen una extraordinaria cantante

[@feross15]

No, Melanie Amaro has a Pepsi Commercial! She's the best and she does sound like Raven from Thats so Raven!

[@kayceeleah]

-----That extra dimension that all great artists have is the ability to connect with their audience "emotionally." Yes, Josh seems to be able to do that better than Melanie, and Chris Rene was able to do that extremely well. ----and you're right not all great artists have the over-the -top singing talent but that "Emotional Connection" is the one thing they all definitely have.

[@ItsJUSTBritty]

LMFAO at flavor flav at the end of the commercial.

[@Jaerista]

MELANIIIIIEEEE

[@Myeshia]

YEEESSSSSS MY CUZ DID THE DAMN THING WOOT WOOT!

[@xclusive_kh1166]

@@denise_padilla omg lol

[@Micben123]

People SHUT UP!!! I love Chris for his uniqueness and originality and I love Melanie for her powerful voice. The show is over, they moved on, and it doesn't really matter who's better because it's your opinion and I GUARANTEE u aren't gonna change someone else's with a KZbin comment. Support ur favorite artist and stop bitching about someone else's

[@nayitotem]

Fantastic!!!! BRAVOOOOOOO........

[@MuncksSittingOnDucks]

the big x factor pepsi commercial the were saying the winner would do

[@jeremyk97]

i freakin love this

[@molloy57]

they need to make a longer version of the song aha

[@ifedthehorse]

"I'm Melanie Amaro and I heartily endorse this event or product."

[@peytontrahan7454]

I love the little noise the black guy makes at the very end

[@AdrenalFantic31]

i love the ending

[@HyperWolf]

@521dida everyone has an accent. to people who live around people with the same accent dont notice it. people who have never heard someone talk like that or at least not very often, do notice it.

[@A-ProductionsYT]

POV: They find out you like coca-cola more

[@shelynaemerald8904]

Somehow I just Knew that glass would shatter :)

[@falconer]

@ukeinfused hahah. you're right. she leaned grabbing with her right but the cut was showing her grabbing with her left.

[@52ColtsFan24]

the ending kills me haha

[@signejorgenson]

Am I the only one who sees this as a remake of the opening to the Michael Jackson "Remember the Time" video?

[@TheSingOffFollower]

I acually love thee commercial, and no, if chris renee was there instead of Melanie i was just mute the TV. All i wanted was a bit more of the song she sang. But she was amazing in it :)

[@20bluepills]

@521dida . You would understand only if you've ever been teased for being different. When you belong to more than one culture, sometimes you sound different at different times. Lots of us who have had to live in and adjust to other cultures can understand. People don't take the time to understand what you say and what you mean 'cause you sound different. Don't worry Melanie, who feels it knows

[@SuperParislover]

You can see a little of Micheal Jackson music video "remember the time" in this.

[@TeokiaGracia]

0:12 She looks really familiar!!!

[@ForeverMinzy]

0:20 shit gets real

[@fulano2oo7]

I keep watching this video for the song. Its hot lol

[@coutureebabiex0]

She reminds me if raven symone :)) luv u melanie!!

[@Rev8691]

2 things: 1) I love how this is Melonie's commercial but they put Elton John and Flava Flav in because she is still a nobody that lacks star appeal. 2) Weird that they made her drop her natural accent and sound American again.

[@LiamMcEwan]

The concept of this is very similar to Michael Jackson's "REMEMBER THE TIME" music video.

[@KenjiHoangislife]

wow why are some people being such a jerk to melanie, she is awesome so just shut up and enjoy the comercial, if not just leave with no comments

[@Garrador]

i can't help but wonder what this would have been like with chris rene

[@BambamBKswag]

Wonderful

[@asoicnarf]

this still puts a smile on my face ! ! ! nice ... who is chris renee again ? ? ?

[@mikmowmil]

0:14 to 0:20 is a spoof of MJ's Remember the Time video. Cool.

[@whitefang938]

Awesome man! But this isn't the full commercial though-- the actual one is 3.16min long. (:

[@DominikanChick801]

Lol good comercial! Lol "yeah boi" hahaha

[@brbr0212]

I really don't like this version, but her voice is definitely AMAZING!!!!

[@ondreamonique]

i always thought it was raven-symone in this ad.
