@Legendary12008 He mentioned on a 06 106 & Park with Jay-Z that he was unhappy with his record deal prior to signing with Def Jam. They made him dress a certain way, sing certain kinds of songs and work with certain producers.

[jreedonline585]

[sweethoney2219]

i'm glad he got rid of that 'im going for the sisqo look'...and got alil more swag about himself...neyo my boo now..

[realdeal119]

can someone say faggottttttttttttttttttttttttt­ttttt!!!

[nwilczyn]

killin it was really catchy!

[loreanashli]

Ne-yo was very young when he started pursue his dream he doesn't talk about his past, God only knows what he has been through that is reflected in his early stages.

[THIZZAVELI]

I know i'm no the only one who sees that lip ring and here's that lisp.

[CodenameHustla1]

wtf is his real name?? lmaoo

[iChocolateAddict]

Shaffer Chimere Smith

[thugkid1982]

I think he looks good wit and witout his hats. i lov the songs and his fine ass body. i think he should go on wit out the hats and stuff, he looks good just the way he is... FUCK ALL THE HATERS

[MIMI232]

LOL, omygosh thank god Ne-Yo doesn't look like that now, because people would think he's even more gay than they do now!! The songs sounded ok tho, although his voice is much better now than it was then!

[Juuleecew]

wow he was so young in this video. His voice is so much better than what it was. His songs were good, sure wish they were on the album. And wow his appearance has changed.

[mrychp]

i see less head and more hat

[stereomysticworld]

Im sorry but he needs to come out

[Sm0kah0ntas]

I m soooo glad somebody told Shafer "sexy" is JUST NOT HIS THING!

[bleneral]

i have to say that "killin` it" is pretty catchy...

[TifNieB]

big bottom lip with a peircing....WTF

i still love you Shaffer or ne-yo

[boopadoot]

thank god he's at def jam! he was sexy tho ;)

[NeYobabymama10]

[dude123456x]

[dude123456x]

dis was wen he was in columbia records

when he had no control to do wat he wanted to do... da label bossed him around

[dyungin]

now see.. i used to defend him all the tyme and i always wondered why people kept callin him gay........now.. im not so sure i can defend him. dis was str8 homo beginnin to end.

[slickpanther06]

[thatchanelbitch]

[EricaFierce]

Why does he have so many nick names...GO-GO? Schaffer? Ne-YO?

[vrwherry]

Schaffer is his real name

[RealDefentertainment]

OH MY GOD

sisquo was enough for me to take but damn this be that dude cos he got talent SO I WON`T MIND

[Uncrowndballa]

why does he look so homo?

[wwwXbocisXlv]

these last 10 sec's-wow

[FearlessQueen1987]

Ne-yo talented, Gay or Not!

[daltonbros68]

dat nikka's a ninja

[ar061788]

wow never thought neyo can do flips and shit

[justinzhao]

neyo is the bomb he is definitely going to make it to the top GO NEYO having love for what u do will take you there. GOD bless u inspire me

[TomatoBasil23]

going to make it to the top? he's already there

as for the gay comments... please, just coz dude got style...

i guess you know you've made it big when internet coward haters start makin rumours that ur gay

[slimsxyblkwoman]

We need to start calling out these fake so called "straight" hyper-masculine dudes that bash and hate on dudes that are or appear gay! I know for a fact that there are far more dudes out there, who are fucking other men on the low AND THEY DON'T LOOK NOR ACT LIKE NEYO! THEY LOOK MORE LIKE HARDCORE NIGGAS! Yawl, better stop judging books by their cover because while you focus on kats like Neyo; it's the degenerate, coward ass folks that look like gangstas and thugs that's giving black women HIV!

[highwater2k]

They wanted to make this boy into the next Sisqo...Good thing that things turned out the way they did...JEEZ!

[kingstonja1]

Such haters

[JudgeAxe]

get over the whole gay thing PLEASE - first off, I like THIS Ne-Yo better than the one that we all see now.....this one ain't out to prove nothing - he's just him. That's how people are SUPPOSED TO BE. But when muthafuckas like you all start saying shit, people change slowly but surely into something that eventually is not a true reflection of who they really are.

By you all having these rumors and everything out there, do you ever think that we may be missing out on some GREAT music?

[TheGuru614]

0:06 proves he is a homosexual. I'm sorry...I had high hopes.

[stereomysticworld]

indeed its settled !!

[needabreak]

Most people are commenting that he's gay, but I'm sure those same people wouldn't say that to his face after seeing that he is damn good at Martial Arts. People that are that fast at kicks could do some serious damage.

[chengoo]

He knows a bit of martial arts?! Dang anyone who him a him mofo better get ready for their ass getting kicked!

[JadaWilliamsPersonal]

WHERES HIS HAT!!!

[kelliracqui]

this is like a fake ass tyrese!!!

[nasztreetz33]

why every one say neyos gay he would not make them tracks everybody loves if he was gay check yourself peps i like the new one with fab (how i do)

[KINGIAM0]

this nigga looks gay for real

[rrichmondboy]

MOTHAFUCKA HAD A PAC..LOL?

[slick1hit]

this was in 99

[Clowningaround65]

Ne-Yo is off the chain....He ain't a MJ rip off....He can't help it if he reminds you of him sometimes

[Graym08]

yo im not even kidding this kid is talented but he is ugly as fuk he look like a alien

[kbyrd87]

dat ni99a there i gay....all that arm flickin and s@$%....HE GAY!!!

[xesisgood]

Dam Neyo is more ripped than I thought, his more ripped than Usher and all of them lot.

[enclosure22]

Ok his has a piercing...when did that make you gay?? And even if he is...that's him. If he was a white male artist no one would question his sexuality...but if a black man isn't like everyone else then he has to be gay, strange or weird....Stop being stupid

[ddrguice]

i agree wit u, i don't think he's gay, it's just weird to have a peircing but not gay.

[DaWiiNeFiiNeDiiMe]

i agree with u.

[enclosure22]

At least this version of ne-yo wasn't ripping off Michael Jackson...They were molding him into Sisqo...now what label you know would want to mold him into the next Sisqo??/ This is who Ne-yo is. Defjam molded him into this MJ wannable...

[rsnerd411]

UMMM GAY

[ddrguice]

he looked sexii back then too.

[larey2k]

HE LOOK FUCKED UP!

[kericagreen]

well lets see, he has he's eyebrows waxed, then he has the peircing, i would say GAY!
