MAXWELL: Bad Habits video (What Do You Think?)

If you have seen the video, What Do You Think?

Okay, so, there was a slight problem with the link (I suppose) at the Steve Harvey website. http://www.steveharvey.com was the original link that I put into my browser to watch the video. I got to the site at 8:30am and just stayed there and refreshed over and over again until 8:45am the video began to play. Was also on twitter and noticed people weren’t able to see the video for whatever reason, I just happened to look up and see the browser link had changed to http://steveharvey.com/index_maxwell.html. I think it works when you use that link. Yes, the video will be added to Maxwell’s official Youtube http://www.youtube.com/user/maxwell when I don’t know.

I think I expected more. Always good to see a Max video, but I wasnt really impressed. Sexy? Yes. But overall, sort of lackluster to me. But that’s just MY opinion :o )

Rhonda B August 5th, 2009 at 9:41 am

I luv’d it… The video reminded me of Trois 2: Pandora’s Box

Ckimyonw August 5th, 2009 at 9:42 am

I wish I was Kerry Washington!

Musical One (Sunshine) August 5th, 2009 at 9:43 am

Maxwell’s “Bad Habits’ video is very tastefully done…HOT but not raunchy. Job well done by both he and Kerry.

LOREAL August 5th, 2009 at 9:44 am

LOOOOOOOOOOOVE THE VIDEO!!!!! IT WAS HOT NEED TO SEE IT ON FULL SCREEN

Bama_Gurl August 5th, 2009 at 9:47 am

I SAW, SAW, SAW IT! This video is SOOO STEAMY!! It tells a story first as opposed to getting right into the bedroom scenes, which is refreshing to see! I was like wow (shout out to Maxwell’s CHEST… didn’t he use to have a tat on his arm?)! Anyway, to be Kerry Washington for the video shoot, I would have walked away with twins… even WITH clothes on (but she def. looked a$$ed out)!

His head did a lil Matrix/half-exorcist spin and I was like WTF and SPILLED my coffee on my keyboard! I was pleasantly surprised at the video. Definitely a more mature Maxwell…. a ‘creepin’ Maxwell’ at that ;)

Evelyn N. Alfred August 5th, 2009 at 9:47 am

It looked like a movie a thriller movie, actually. The fact that Steve Harvey’s website wouldn’t allow me to see it for some time, my frustration tainted my viewing pleasure.

The video is very nice, but I feel like I can’t see some parts (which I’m sure the director did purposely) and I don’t like to imagine Max as a cheater (but I guess he is a man…or human). Kerry Washington was an excellent choice to be his leading lady. At the end I had the strange feeling Max was going to grow fangs or something with the ominous music.

The red lighting was great and the dark shadows on his face…sublime.

Illustrious03 August 5th, 2009 at 9:48 am

It was just what the doctor ordered. Kerry is so lucky and I now consider her as being the BADDEST CHICK because she has touched skin with the INFAMOUS MAX. The video was great overall….great interpretation of the song’s meaning. The only thing that was unrealistic or missing was the fact that Max still had his pants on. It would have been even more dramatic to see him in some boxers or something. Inquiring minds want to see. LOL! Hey, if Michael Jackson can do a video TOTALLY nude, then surely Max could shoot a vid in some Hanes.

samiranajlaa August 5th, 2009 at 9:51 am

I enjoyed the video. I was happy to see it played like a mini movie and Kerry wasn’t the only one showing off her acting chops(ie. Maxwell). It was sensual rather than sexy. Any video where this man is shirtless, I am not mad at.

christine August 5th, 2009 at 9:51 am

Overall I thought the video was shot really well. It had a nice grit to it although I thought I would be on the edge of my seat but I wasn’t. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing; I think I wanted more ‘oh god, I gotta have you right effing now’ moments between max & kerry. I don’t know if you saw the movie Twilight(sorry for the comparsion as its a teen film…lol but its the only example I can find) and the bedroom kissing scene between rob and kristin, the energy, chemistry is pretty insane, electric, magnetic, it leaves you wanting more – I think that is what I was looking for in this video. Both maxwell and kerry looked great and visually the video has some really nice artistic moods.well done you guys!

Kdafantc August 5th, 2009 at 9:57 am

Great job! Did I love it? Yes, but I wanted/expected more. Did I watch it over and over again? Yes, because this song and Stop The World are my FAVORITE songs!! Keep up the great work…can’t wait for the next installment (CD, video, etc)

Lechelle August 5th, 2009 at 10:29 am

The video was nice, but slow in places. I’m still a huge Maxwell fan. :o )

Assata August 5th, 2009 at 10:29 am

Can’t say I loved it…very cliche story line! I have seen this video many times before…but I still love me some him…for sure.

Just wished “we” would push the envelope more,broaden the scope when it comes to video and film…yeah, that video could have been so much more!

EW3 August 5th, 2009 at 10:51 am

Loved it, Always love Max with the shirt off, brother is just Perfection!!!! about to watch it again and email it to friends LOL…

The Silken Blade August 5th, 2009 at 10:52 am

HOT! Sexy! Beautiful!
Love the visual effects…Made me wanna scream a little when he flexed his “Maxwell” lol…

It’s good to have you back Maxwell!
Keep it coming!

Hope Hyder August 5th, 2009 at 10:55 am

Cliche story but you know what it happens every day of the week! Maxwell sings about love, love lost, love hoped for just like singers have since the beginning of time! We continue to circle around the same issues as people but it’s each of our unique interpretations that makes it fun to watch. In this case the power of lust, greed and doing what feels good but doesn’t feel right. Our world doesn’t evolve that much and the power of sexuality is one of the things that reminds us of that aspect of our human animal nature. That hunger can be a beast and I love how the video captures that in the colors and the way the love den is shot…kind of grainy and hazy. I love where Keri Washington’s character slips his wedding ring off his finger (at 2:26-2:27 in the video). It happens very quickly but it was a nice touch. Also I like the scene in the restaurant at the end, how she still haunts him. Compared to other videos out now it actually tells a story which is refreshing. The video captures the emotion of the song well – just what a video should do.

Cozumel August 5th, 2009 at 11:01 am

Absolutely loved the video. It game me just enough without giving me too much. Any more and there would have been nothing left to my imagination–imagaging Maxwell with me. I too had a sort of “Pandora’s Box” moment. (Been sleeping in my Maxwell Summer 09 Tour Tee with my framed uploaded photo of me and Maxwell from the meet and greet right next to my bed, and if I close my eyes, I can still smell his scent!) and then. . . I EXHALED. LOL :=)

Farrah Monroe August 5th, 2009 at 11:06 am

This video was HOT! I didn’t know he had a body like that.

shawie August 5th, 2009 at 11:09 am

I loved it! I really enjoyed it very sexy, yet steamy, yet done so smoothly and love the actually set up done a little slow and thats how its suppose to be kept me in supsence! LOVED IT!

Carmen Jones August 5th, 2009 at 11:12 am

Amazing. I’m awe struck. Never known Maxwell take visual risks like that before. Well worth the wait. And let’s just say for the record that Kerry Washington has great taste to accept the leading lady role in this video. FANTASTIC!!!!

mitejena August 5th, 2009 at 11:14 am

Oooh, very nice. I loved the scenery/location, lighting used, very well done. I think I expected more, possibly over hyping it up in my own mind but hey, a video is a video. When it was said and done I enjoyed. It was tastefully presented with it’s grown and sexy appeal without being pornographic. Oh, to be Kerry…I would have kept messing up so we’d have to re-do the scenes over and over! ;)

Thanks to LMN for posting this. I could not catch the Steve Harvey premiere and I went to bed a little anxious that I may have to wait some time before I saw it. SHAME ON ME!!! I should know that LMN got my back for all my Maxwell needs!! I’ll never doubt you again. :)

Veronica August 5th, 2009 at 11:15 am

I LOVED this video. I really wish I was Kerry Washington. Beautifully done. It was grown and sexy, and in no way sleazy or played out. I loved that it wasn’t only about the sex (although seeing Maxwell without his shirt is always welcome) but also about conflicting emotions. Great Job!!!

doreen August 5th, 2009 at 11:17 am

Hot hot hot!

Joie August 5th, 2009 at 11:24 am

Whew……………I know the feeling! I also have a bad habit and I can’t shake the feeling!

Peeball August 5th, 2009 at 12:06 pm

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS, maxwell u r the man….I loved every1′s comments, very refreshing. I loved the video(okay mainly bc max was the closest to his bday suit as i’ve seen him) – i need to work on that..anyway, sidetracked, i havent seen a video with a story line in quite some time, so its a good throwback to what we once had in music videos..call me max 212-534-

stephen August 5th, 2009 at 12:14 pm

Like all Maxwell’s Videos it was tastefully executed. my only problem was that id already conceived the video in my mind- so was I ultimately disappointed. perhaps its my age but I didn’t find it particularly erotic or raunchy. Overall it was nice

kinda reminds me of the two trailers below

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa0JAvjx05c

Monica August 5th, 2009 at 12:31 pm

Wow! This video captured everything the song is about and more. He is hella fine. Wish I was Keri!

Dug the vid, hated that it took over 10mins for the vid to load and I had both laptops up. Loved the way it was shot, b/c sin of such proportions can’t be all bright and airy. Maxwell FINALLY showed his body, he could still get it regardless of all the chest hair. His shoulders, his back, his arms just the total package. My imagination is sprinting at this point. Bravo sir, tastefully erotic.

Wandi August 5th, 2009 at 1:11 pm

Loved it, I want to be Kerry Washington

ghghgh August 5th, 2009 at 1:13 pm

I agree wit Rhonda B. I love the video but I’m sooo jealous of Kerry Washington. She did her thing and she is very lucky!

Words can’t express….I loved the video…every second of it!! I wish I was Kerry Washington in this video….Maxwell was sexy as hell!! Video is PERFECT for the song…

fastlayne August 5th, 2009 at 3:52 pm

I loved the video; simple, sexy yet thought provoking. I felt as if i was there… I wish I was Kerry Washington in this video tooooooo! He’s sexy as all get out!

Keena August 5th, 2009 at 6:00 pm

I love it!!! Kerry was perfect for this video; I wish that was me. LOL! Maxwell is so damn sexy!

JG August 5th, 2009 at 6:04 pm

Maxwell,

The Jesus in me LUVS the Jesus in you so u know that I am going to be honest. I didn’t like it at all. I am a fan (not crazy) very repectful so I am going to be real and not go there with all of the sexy comments, wishing I was Kerry, hair on your chest, etc…

Furthermore, I think it is very sad to read these kind of comments and witness the number of girls not “women” who just put themselves out there. Just compliment the man and keep it moving. It’s ok to enjoy the concert but my GOD don’t be so desperate. Hmm, I guess they loved the video because they are currently experiencing “Bad Habits” can’t control the feelings I beg to differ.

MindYourBeesWax August 5th, 2009 at 6:05 pm

That’s hot!

tee August 5th, 2009 at 6:12 pm

real DRAMA…GREAT REFLECTION OF THE SONG…MAXWELL….I LUUUUUVVVVVVV IITTT….BUT MOSTLY U!

Crystal August 5th, 2009 at 7:05 pm

I loved the Video, very sensual & tastfully done. As all ways Maxwell does things with class! I actually did not get to see the video til about 6:15pm eastern. Had to wait all day til i got home from work. But it was well worth the wait.

dj August 5th, 2009 at 7:31 pm

This is so much better than his fist vid…I am excited to see he listened to his fans and the suggestions of using Kerry Washington as his love interest.

All said I loved the heat that emanated from the two as they finally came together. A real woman-not the model types of the first vid- and Maxwell… shirtless and drunk with the passions of the moment.

I loved the set, his clothes, and of couse the music.

Not into cheating…but…ummm ummm ummmm!!!

Moi August 5th, 2009 at 7:34 pm

Beautifully shot and great chemistry between M and K. But I DEMAND A RE-EDIT (lol)!

Seriously, it’s poorly edited. Cut the fat and fill out more of the erotic sequences.

That is all ;~)

chynahgirl August 5th, 2009 at 7:38 pm

I thought the video was HOT! Bad Habits is one of my favorite songs on the CD and the video didn’t disappoint. I would luv to see an UNCUT version.

deLis August 5th, 2009 at 8:24 pm

too bland to such a hot axx song…it deserved more direction and kerry washington looking like a deer in headlights…she didn’t engage at all with maxwell..how do you not connect w maxie…somebody dropped the ball…but still luv maxwell!!

Lisa August 5th, 2009 at 9:01 pm

One of the most sexiest vidoes I have ever seen. Max Max Max…DAMN…Kerry was great too…but MAX MAX MAX…DAMN…Love the video, very well done. Class all the way… Love the CD. Can’t wait for Summers’.

vem August 5th, 2009 at 9:04 pm

Maxwell’s Bad Habits= Hot, Hot, Hot all I can say is Hot
What a great video what a great song I love the CD Maxwell is back can not wait to see him in concert as soon as he is in my neck of the woods I will be there.

SandraP August 5th, 2009 at 9:10 pm

Next video…totally nude.
A girl can dream can’t she?

SuiteLadyMaxi August 5th, 2009 at 10:07 pm

All I can say is Maxwell, you make me wanna… That is one sexy ass video!!!

Mrs. Charles August 5th, 2009 at 10:24 pm

Maxwell is SO SEXY! LOVED IT! Reminded me a little of the movie Unfaithful…the Black version. ;-)

css August 5th, 2009 at 10:33 pm

*ducking tomatoes* Maxwell or not, I really don’t care for glorification of infidelity. This is his rightful expression, and its probably his truth, I still just don’t care for it.

verbie August 5th, 2009 at 11:29 pm

First reaction: When I watched it at work, I screamed out so loud and then got all warm and fuzzy ;)
This is for me one of Max’s best videos. It is like a short movie. The scenes, camera work, direction, acting…all wonderful. Kerry was the excellent choice. Maxwell is Hands Down, ” The Sexiest Man” (Besides “Honey”), but I digress (LOL)
Of course he had to add in some “quirkiness”. The fast motion at the beginninng between him and his “wife”. That’s Maxie for you.

Tanuna August 6th, 2009 at 12:09 am

I loved the video. Tastefully naughty.

Vena August 6th, 2009 at 7:56 am

A sensual, sexy, adult video, telling an all too familiar story of “secret love.” Beautifully shot, although a bit dark, which may have been done intentionally to set a mood of “deceitfulness.” To me the set looked “old world,” like they may have been in Europe, which made the video read like a foreign film. A tastefully done vignette about a terribly “bad habit.”

Destiny Seven August 6th, 2009 at 8:09 am

Just watched it again this morning, Started yesterday off so nice thought I’d try it again. I absolutely love this video. It’s very tasteful, sensual,sexy, and well shot, very Grown and Sexy! Max is FINE, those triceps and his chest are ON POINT,wish I could lay on his chest…lol, Kerry is beautiful, love her as an actor. WELL DONE!! Can’t wait for more from this wonderful man!

Bilqis Mansur August 6th, 2009 at 9:47 am

I love this video. It’s sexy, steamy and takes a walk on the dark side with the infidelity spin. I too am glad it tells a story and that it’s relevant to the actual song. The style in which it was shot conveys that tortured struggle of giving into forbidden cheaters lust. The expression on his face and the body language he displays while he waits in the shadows of deceit for their tryst is nails it! Something tells me Mr. Max might make that transfer into real acting very easily. He and Kerry have great screen chemistry and look so hot together. Enjoyed it!

And yes Max did have a tattoo. Check this sight below for the sexiest pic of him & I think Eva Marcille!

Bama_Gurl August 6th, 2009 at 1:09 pm

@Bilqis Mansur

THANK YOU !! Glad u enjoyed the vid. I thought he had a tat! I wonder if they just covered it? I’m sooo late on ‘Max the man’ but I’ve been a fan of “Max the Artist” since I was 16. I just never watched his videos or even knew much about him until now. Okay, sorry to ask but how did he get that scar on his forehead? I’m assuming it was a childhood injury? The man has peaked my curiosity… which is a rare thing!

Bilqis Mansur August 6th, 2009 at 2:20 pm

@ Bama_Gurl (Love that name!)

Not sure about that scar! Wishing I could kiss it and ask about all up close in personal though! LOL I’ve loved him since he came out and probably always will. However I’m sorry to say I’m not loving this album. Although it is creative and keeps to mold of not sounding like anyone else, I only like Pretty Wings, Bad Habits, Stop the World and Fistful of Tears. Not sure if you ever heard it but he did a great cut way back with Sweetback called Softly. Here’s the link:

NikkiZ August 6th, 2009 at 6:47 pm

I can’t even watch it anymore. Too many impure thoughts! LOL Video was SMOKIN HOT! Max all bare chested and grown man sexy. OMG!!!

cc August 8th, 2009 at 11:14 pm

A DARK representation of a bad habit

Chocolate Starr August 9th, 2009 at 5:24 pm

DAMN……Maxwell make’s a married woman wanna cheat!

MYBW August 10th, 2009 at 3:15 pm

Watch the vid at 1:25 and the tattoo is there.

Bama_Gurl August 10th, 2009 at 5:13 pm

@MYBW

I still don’t see it @ 1:25.. lol. I’m going to plug pc into HDTV and look for it though. Thanks! My eyes were fixated on something else I guess!

Dawnette Dukes August 13th, 2009 at 4:15 pm

I just want to know who directed it because it was off the chain. Maxwell & Kerry looks perfect together, I was in a spell throughout the whole video.

thelatestmaxwellnews August 13th, 2009 at 4:57 pm

@Dawnette Dukes it was directed by Anthony Mandler.

Blessst August 22nd, 2009 at 9:00 am

I LOVE IT! ALL I DO IS PLAY THIS SONG ALL DAY IT’S THE BOMB!!!!!!!! YOU GO MAXWELL!!!!!!!

chigga September 1st, 2009 at 6:46 pm
