Yamin, who seemed to make a path from a raw performer with a beautiful voice to a seasoned singer in less than one Idol season, is trying to land a gig as a pitchman with a major firm, The Enquirer reports.
Walker writes in his "All the Gossip" column:
***
Sweet! Aspiring singer Elliott Yamin took the hook on American Idol — but he still looks like a winner!
Elliott, a diabetic who suffers from 90 percent hearing loss in one ear, is deep in negotiations with Johnson & Johnson, who are wooing him to be the commercial spokesman for their newly-designed insulin pump.

It would likely be a wise move for both parties as Yamin is now a known brand name and could lend that celebrity for the product.
