Music video
Wayne Isham directed video for "One in a Million" premiered on September 3, 2010.[http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2010/10/04/ne-yo-one-in-a-million-video/ New Video: Ne-Yo, One In A Million MTV] The full-length nine-minute video is included on the deluxe edition DVD version of the 'Libra Scale' album.
For continuity, Jerome (Ne-Yo) remembers back to when he first met Pretti Sinclair (Galen Hooks). The video is influenced by Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel", where he follows a woman to following her down the street and showing off his dance moves. Ne-Yo, Clyde and Leroy were at a caf, and as soon as Sinclair's friends saw the Gentlemen trio, they immediately joined their table, leaving Sinclair behind. Jerome then tries to draw his attention towards her by floating his drink, Sinclair then advises the waiter to take away the drink and give it to Jerome.He walked up to her, trying to make a conversation. Sinclair, however, thought that Jerome was simply an arrogant man who always tries to get what he wants, and didn't want to befriend him. Jerome then told Clyde and Leroy to get up and do "THE THANG", which was dancing to One in a Million to impress Sinclair. During the bridge, however, Sinclair got angry seeing Jerome dancing with other girls, and left. As the dance finished, Jerome ran off to find Sinclair. After having stopped a cab to get Sinclair, Jerome persuaded her into going out on a dinner date to prove her wrong. The video ends.
