i am amazed that he sounds just like he does on his songs. nowadays to much autotune and editing make artists sound better than they really are. but he is all natural talent and by far the best R&B singer!!!!!
Ne-Yo can sing and does write good song lyrics. If only he would just drop his MJ moves/mannerisms and just create his own dance style. We've seen the MJ moves already by the King of Pop himself way before Ne-Yo got into show business and started writing music.
@cmh522 Why should he drop the MJ moves you fool. He`s doing it all for MJ. It`s like you would sing on stage and your inspiration is usher and you are doing some of the moves that Usher did and I will say "DUDE that`s just gay". And You will just keep going on cause it`s your INSPIRATION. get it? ^^
@TatumEatsU Come on, fam-- First of all, He's not trying to look like anybody. Have you seen Ne-yo's face? Look at Ne-Yo's face. Now look at Michael Jackson's face. Second of all, I clearly said "Ne-yo is ONE of the best performers of our generation", and you reply with "no it's michael jackson"... reading comprehension bro. =)
The way he dances and sings here, I think it is very captivating. Kind of random, but even my dad-who never listens to RnB- thought that this was good

like the last 8yrs>>???? u like how people been losing there homes?? u like jobs bein sent overseas??? hard to find a job?WELL JOHN MCCAIN IS YOUR GUY UR VOTE MCCAIN COUNTRY 1ST BUSH
career-making performance! unbelievable; every move NE-YO makes is perfectly choreographed; the vocals are perfection; the band/horns are electrified; hats off to THE LATE SHOW production team for the camerwork and lighting; it's truly like watching a scene from a classic movie musical; and the way he deptly handled Letterman's "Where the girls?" like he's been in the business for years and was one of the Rat Pack; this man is talented and is destined for greateness
That was so lame for Dave's producers or camera guys failing to zoom in just because he had Obama's picture on his Jacket!! I mean they had candidate McErratiCain for the full hour and Obama can't get a close up?
most definitely pure talent...i have soo much respect for Ne-Yo...but that really was OBAMA on his jacket wasn't it?! haha...neyo took a little jab at mccain, that last spin to show his face haha...Obama Neyo 08!

Watching this video makes that whole Letterman affair thing seem much more obvious. He's like the talk show version of President Clinton.

because on some networks they can't fully show someone's shirt that advertises a candidate especially before the election.
