  • 2:48 he sounds so like MJ! There both awesome!!

  • Neyo is my favorite singer now, Michael is my favorite singer of all- time!

  • He performed this song at another tribute for Michael and it was even better...no backup singers, just Neyo and the microphone!!! He's awesome, such a remarkable, unique talent!!! I effin love the sound of his voice!

  • Ne-yo my life is you love you ♥

  • @boredlikecrazy88 You Shouldn't Use The Word 'Rival' Because Ne Yo Went Into a Music Career Because of Michael Jackson His Inspiration.. Plus Ne Yo Did Write Songs For MJs Album ....Theres No Beef In R&B So Why Should There Be Beef In Michaels Music? .. If Your a Michael Fan You'd Realise Most of His Songs Incourage Peace Not Rivalries and Vendetta ..

  • Y'all can click on my COVER of this song to get something different. Thanks for sharing this!

    Ey, Michael was told to "BEG" singing the lyrics in the studio by Berry Gordy and that's why we love it now ;)

  • @DICACIO1 i think you're referring to quincy jones.

  • @realemotion80 yes QJ asked MJ to beg in the studio, BG asked him to beg before signing the advancement check...lol ;)

  • Yo this is the jam. Hands down Michael is the best, there will never be another Michael, but Neyo did an amazing job. Props go out to my boy Neyo. R.I.P. MJ

    We Love You

  • STOP TRIPPIN Y'ALL ITS A TRIBUTE!!!! LIKE WTF HE NOT TRYNA BE MICHAEL!!! HE SOUND HELLA GOOD AND THATS ALL THAT MATTERS!!! *Wifey*

  • i luv neyo an mj so i luv tht he did a tribute 2 him!!!

  • Michael Jackson, Usher, Ne Yo, John Legend are the best singers

  • ne yo did a great job with this song

  • Around 2:40 is what makes the song (at least how MJ made me feel the passion) and Ne-Yo didn't quite get it. Good job though!

  • very good Ne-yo

  • there is NO other michael jackson, but ne-yo did this song justice. :)

  • This is good but there will only be 1 michael jackson

  • THERE WILL BE ONLY ONE MICHAEL JACKSON. ♥ YOU MY MIKEY BEAR

  • neyo did good on this i cant front bud michael jackson killed it like alwaysss . good job neyo and

    REST IN PEACE MICHAEL JACKSON ALWAYS WILL BE MISSED <3

  • hes really good!

  • I think M.J would be truly impressed,Neyo sounds great! And Neyo would still say M.J is no comparison! Micheal version is passionate and excellent...

  • sounds great :)

  • i think bruno mars will kill this song or am i wrong ?

  • pretty good but michael still wins hands down.

  • @queen10993 of course,butt! listen to ne-yo's song "cause i said so" on "libra scale album he sounds just like mj,and song "rock wit you" both are fiyah! listen to the version he wrote for janet that she sings "rock wit you" i luv ne-yo and mj thats why god bless me to meet both of them,i saw ne-yo last in oct at his promotional party for album "libra scale.

  • Neyo sung the beautifully. MJ shoes

    are some big shoes to fill. 45 years in the business

    Mj has earned his 'King of Pop" crowned.

    Luther Van dross is "The King of R & B"

    Neyo can be named as "Prince of R&B"

    BUT he has to prove some more. I luv them all

  • is a beautiful cover :) but MJ is THE KING forever ;D

    Ne-yo is the prince of the R&B

    "I Want You To Stay With Me" Yeah ... :D

  • so i'ts not proper from your side to say that there'll be another KIng of POP,especially to be announced as such at 25y.o..

    Ok, I'll give u a chance: when your Neyo sell more than 120 MILLIONS of copies for just ONE album, & achieve MILLIARDS of fans, just call me ;)

  • JayMeFreez, you said nobody can be compared with Michael Jackson but it's not due to the different styles(pop/RnB or whatever)but for Michael's genius, Music,Dance,Creativity(all pattents,unique inventions),all broken records,all kinds of awards one can think of,all his Humanity deeds..I can number more&more

  • Nobody like Michael.  However, Ne-yo did an admirable job with this song.

  • MJ was king of pop and nobody can compare neyo with micheal cause neyo does R&B and MJ had experience over years. Neyo does his thing with his songs and maybe when he's got the age of MJ he will be the new king , But for sure he's the prince of pop or king of the R&B

    He can sing, He can dance, He can perform He's doing his thing for 5 years now

    He's one of the best songwriters that this world got,, but onne thing i do now

    Neyo bring new life in the music industry and give it some colors

  • he sounds good well VERY GOOD TO ME SO FUCK OFF AND LET MY BABY BE

  • I can see ne-yo was hurt just listen u can here it but he sung his best...now thats a showman

  • Good job!

  • MJ maybe the king but neyo is a prince

  • @fyaoi MJ is THE KING no maybe

  • @MJDAMONEY11534 i meant tht as he may be* not maybe

  • @MJDAMONEY11534

    I TOTALLY AGREE!!!

  • go listen the maxwell's one....

  • pourrie...

    MJ is the King, Maxwell the prince, but Ne Yo is the buffoon...

  • pourrie...

    MJ is the King, Maxwell the prince, but Ne Yo is the buffoon...

    

  • I meet this dude once...great song writer, great music and great personality.

    One of my favorited .

  • i remebered neyo performing this on the BET AWARDS and i was hooked on the tv wen he sang this i was suprised of good he sound wen he sang this.

  • @aikirej me too. i wish they would upload THAT performance.

  • i gotta giv ne-yo his props...even tho nothing will ever beat the original, he SANG this song well

    everybody needs to stop hatin on him. he is not tryin to beat MJ it is just a tribute!!!

  • straight up on myspace has a great live arrangement of this that remixes into LL's Hey Lover....just put straightupmuzik after the / when u type the myspace link

  • Comment removed

  • really good, but of course no comparison to the king

  • @steve4lionel yes, exactly. I don't think is amazing, I think sounds pretty good but definitely no comparison

  • WoW! This is amazing!

  • Wow! I think he's probably the only one who could sing this song in a way that would make MJ proud! GREAT JOB Ne-Yo!!!

  • People always trying to say somebody trying to copy somebody but really in their mind that person sounds like whoever or reminds them of whoever, here Ne-yo in my opinion alittle tad bit sounds like micheal and Ne-yo always had. So shut the hell up iditots

  • neyo you cant fuck wit mike

  • @yungsandifer Its a tribute.

  • Ne Yo Sang Great.... I Mean Really I'm Impressed.. But

    There's Something About Michael.. I Mean If You Listen To Michael Singing This Song... Your Heart Starts Pounding Faster. It's Like If He's Singing It To You, He's Singing It With So Much Soul, Like If He's In Love, He Puts His Heart Into It,

    I Mean I Honestly Think There Won't Be Another Michael Jackson,I'm Not Saying It Because Of Ne Yo Or Chris Brown Or Usher Etc,But Because He's Just TOO Unique,He Made It All Happen.

    & Ne Yo Did Great.

  • excellent !

    Michael Jackson 4ever the King of music !

  • I love Ne-yo's vocal in this, but it lacks the sensuality,sexiness, and passion that Michael had in his voice. Not bad though :)

  • @domellcun I agree. I like Ne-yos version. I liked when he performed at the BET awards better than this though... he did good.

    But... I mean Michael... he had that sensuality in his voice like he was just laid back with his lady singing to her. I can feel it in my soul.

  • to haters ne-yo sang this song very well!!

  • this was actually 2009 lol

    he did a great job

  • he sang this sooo amazingly ♥

  • thank you for this tribute neyo.. i love you so much michael its unbelievable

  • das ist das schönste lied was ich meinem leben gehört habe . danke michael ich liebe dich !!!!!!

  • its close in pitch and tone but it's not michael... no one can duplicate that longing MJ had in his voice on the original. when singers do this, they always put their own style on it. i think if u do a tribute song, u need to sing it EXACTLY the way the original singer did it. that's a form of respect...still, i like the groove on this. whoever's on the bass is killin' it at the end.

  • Very similar. :)

  • dont diss Ne yo because Michael wouldnt have, besides isnt Ne Yo a massive fan of Mikeys peace and respect to all

  • @TheDizzydiana

    No he's not. I dont think he should be singing this song. In an Ebony interview, right after Michael passed, he said Michael was weird and had low self esteem. Neyo is an asshole.

  • @lovelylady2910 really i didnt know that thanks

  • @TheDizzydiana

    Youre welcome. I just couldnt believe Neyo would say something like that but he did It's kind of sad.

  • @lovelylady2910 wtf really do u have a link 2 the interview pls?

  • @aishaxoxobela

    It's in the Ebony tribute magazine for Michael Jackson I have the book but Im not sure if you can read it online

  • ne-yo.....truely did mj sum justice! nothing is better then michael's but ne-yo did amazing!!

  • One of My Favorite Songs!

  • Wow... Neyo really is the best candidate for this song... I mean, it fits his voice well.

  • epic fail ne yo

  • neyo is the king of rnb okay?

  • yo people to me neyo is the king of rnb

  • @michael73981 im wit u on dat 1!!!!!!!!!!

  • yo people to me neyo is the king of rnb

  • neyo king of rnb

  • Neyo is amazing ! This is amazing !

    <3

  • Nope, no one should sing Michael's songs but Michael...

  • Nice, but only Michael should sing Michael's songs.

  • He could't do waaay better

  • He is good but he is no "Michael Joseph Jackson"!!! No one can replace him. He has the sexiest ever!!!

  • i believe ne-yo is a very good singer but this just proves how superior michaels voice was ne-yo is struggling at some parts

  • WTF??? OMG!! he killed the song.... daymn!

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!!! Hey guys I posted a video of me singing it. Check it out!!!!!

  • ne-yo did an amazing job singing this. i'm truly impressed.

    however, michael has no rival. he never will.

  • @boredlikecrazy88 Aint that the most profound thing ever ..Michael CANNOT EVER be rivalled. Untouchable.

  • @boredlikecrazy88 Prince...Is his rival..

  • @boredlikecrazy88 well said! great job Neyo, Michael reigns forever

  • i luvvvvvv da beginning lol up into he say meet me n paradise now is the time lol rewind

  • I Love This Song Of MJ!!

    He Sung It So Beautifull.

    Ne-Yo Also Did It Great!

    And I Hope For Him, That Now That Michael Is Somewhere Else, He May Be The New King Of Pop.

    Luv Ne-yo!

  • girll what is youuu on?

    i agree he can singg thiss veryy well but,

    NO ONE, i repeat NO ONE.

    can be as sexyy ,and talented as michael.

    girl, hmmm.

  • Obviously Mj's version will always be the best the original always is but Neyo an excellent job with this song i love both versions, no reason to hate its a beautiful song =]

  • great way to remember michael. check my  profile me and my group made a song to remember him. comment it!

  • all the covers of this MJ song are really good & before i even heard Michaels song i had heard the beat in a few rap songs and when i heard it i was like HOLY SHIIT.

    that just proves how fucking awesome he iss .

    i lOVE YOU MiCHAEL<33

  • I liked MJ more than all you punks! xoxox

  • when i hear him sing this song it makes me cry , cus i think of how michael sang this song , much love and respect to neyo and his wonderful, voice and michael will always remain in my heart (: godbless;

  • nice version check mine in the reply videos

  • heard this on the radio today on Power 105. Ne-yo did an excellent job on this song

  • Of course Michael's version is better......but Ne-Yo sounds damn good and did the song justice.

    This is one of my favorites by MJ :)

  • 100% agree

  • michael jacksons verson is better!

  • Have mercy...

    This is one of my favorite Michael songs and I don't say this a lot..in fact I don't say this at all but Ne-Yo is up there! I mean...WOW! He did damn good on this song!!!!

    Rip Michael! and major props to Ne-Yo!!

  • omg Ne-yo did sooo good...this is liek the ebst cover i ever heard...do ya thing Ne-yo

  • Of course no one can compare to Mikey. Neyo did a great a job immulating his idol! He does have that Michael Jackson "flavor", the closest anyone has gotten to Mikey.

  • @CeeandRonC  ARE YOU SERIOUS! Ne-yo is GREAT at doing his own thing, however far as natural vibrato, range, and CLARITY Ne-yo is nothing compared to Michael!

  • NO oNe Can Compete With Mike... Neyo KNows It... He paid tribute to the great... and did a great job... 5 top singers in the game...1 R. Kelly. 2.Usher 3. Neyo 4 trey songs 5. and hate to admit Chris Brown.

  • PlLLLLEAAAAAAASSSSSSSEEEEEEEEE­E STOOOPP, stop messing up legendary songs, this is my fav song of all times, and this guy is butchering this song, Stop this shit, MJ left already and assuredly aint no more coming and aint NO ONE matching him

  • OMG WHO CARES!!! I LOVE THIS SONG AND NEYO TO DEATH. weather hes gay or not dosnt matter he stilll makes great musiq

  • i admire ne-yo and mj im glad ne-yo did this because he said this was his favorite song and he was working with mj so mj must of said go and record it if you want to. what a ledge! he sounds a little like mj himself but iwish he did it a little more different than the original version because than he would have been more diverse and to make it his own..but i like it!!

    <3 u mj rip and ne-yo

  • He's not tryna compete with MJ... just singing one'a his songss, spreading his musiic, showiin his respect to thee king of pop & doiin a damn good job of itt (: what's not to lovvee (: x

  • Ne-Yo is one of the best artists of today (a definite favourite of mine) with REAL talent. MJ was working with him on new tracks and he respected him. I think Ne-Yo did a fantastic job with this track. I love this song and MJ and I'm proud of the true talent paying respect like this.

  • I still like MJs VOICE wayyyyy BETTER!!! only MJ could Do MJ!!!! :( LONG LIVE THE KING<3

  • he aint tryna duplicate boo. IM A HUGE MICHAEL JACKSON FAN. but damn give neyo his props he sung da damn song. STOP HATTIN

  • love this song love ne yo but no no no he isnt another michael in the making that can never be there was a aura around michael something special he can never be duplicated not ever it could never be thats the way it is and should be love and respect to michael love to all of you x

  • He did a tribute... I don't think Ne-Yo would try to compete with Michael Jackson... It's kinda impossible:P

  • michael respected all artists and ne yo stole a particular move of michael (came from ne yo's own lips) he said he hoped he wouldnt mind and michael wouldnt have minded he would have taken it as a compliment and i hope ne yo will be paying another tribute at michael tribute concert at wembley love peace and respect

  • yes, I think Michael would have taken it as a compliment too, but it's not like someone said, that Ne Yo is competeng with Michael:) I respect ne yo a lot, and I'm a huge fan! This is a beautiful tribute, and yes, I hope there will be more of them too:)

    Peace<33

  • i never meant that ne yo was competing against michael he wouldnt do that he has his own style influenced by michael which is good thats why i like ne you sorry if i offeneded you or anyone else loves to all

  • Well, you didn't offend me:) I know, he has his own style which we all love!

    Peace<33

  • cheers and merry christmas

  • Merry Christmas to you too:D

  • TRIBUTE!!! lol there goes the word

  • it's not a competition it's a memorial-type performance .... (shit , looking for the word) lol

  • Jeez! Ne-Yo is a masterful song writer and I have a feeling he is a legend in the making but honestly, he looked up to MJ, he didn't "reach-out". He knew he wouldn't be able to compete so I really don't know what the issue is.

  • Yall know that Ne-yo was one of the dancers in smooth criminal?

  • He's too young to have been a dance in Smooth Criminal. Unless he was one of the kids, and the only one that was dancing was the fat one...

  • you serious?

  • what was like 10 then? lol come on! i think we was too busy looking gay dancing on the Apollo : D

  • Listen guys, he's got a good voice but why bother? You can't improve on the perfection of Michael Jackson. It's a redo that's all.  This is probably the sexiest song Michael ever recorded - he never ceases to send me over every time. It's like doing a remake of Gone With The Wind! - You can't do it!!!!!!! Michael forever and always the BEST. Miss you, Michael!

  • its a tribute sung at tha B.E.T awards dedicated 2 mike fool its not meant 2 compete with tha original song

  • It's a tribute. Why on earth would Ne-yo of all people compete with mike?

  • Lord, MJ wasn't a god. Neyo did good.

  • i luv u micheal

  • he did a WONDERFUL job on thiss.

    but of coursee it will never compare to michael.

  • This is a nice cover but the original cannot be beat

  • i cant front! neyo did excellent he really sounded like mj (sorry guys)

  • u got hearing problems clearly

  • now that i hear it again u might be right...... oh well MJ RIP

  • he sounds soooo qood .! i love the way he sinqs this sonq always blast it when it hits the radio .

  • He Sing This Really Good . Not Better Than Micheal Though . He Did Good Though Brought Tears to My Eyes .

  • i like this version better but NEYO THERE WILL ALWAYS BE ONLY 1 MICHEAL

  • good job

  • i fuckin love the way he sang this!

  • yessss ; he sounds real good .!

  • hes N0 MJ!!!

    butt still luv yu neyo

    LONG LIVE THE KING OF POP FORVER

  • this is actually rele good :) most ppl that sing mj's songs suckk but ne-yo did awesome i think

  • str8 up 2 be real dey both did exceptional i love both songs equally. everybody has there own way of singin. u dont here artist soundin like each otha. aye homie but errybody has their own opinion and i think neyo may be da next legend singer. dey doubted michael didnt dey? so whos 2 say usher, neyo, chris brown, or t-pain mite be da next legend. u neva kno cuz

  • Comment removed

  • Michael is SOO much better!!! Ne-Yo is no MJ ever.

  • he is nothing close but he makes us think of MJ, thats why we like him. Artists have been doing this forever from mariah, to usher, to timberlake, etc etc. Their performances takes back to that comfortable place in which our memories of MJ reside. Thats why we like them.

  • i love ne-yo, he's one of my favorite singers & i think he did an EXCELLENT job but WTF ?! The radio stations only play this version. like umm hello it's MICHAEL'S song !!

  • i know right wtf i wanna hear mike

  • he did a poor job, he couldnt even complete the end of the song in which mj does some his infamous vocal progressions. Classics are not to be toyed with. Theres a very big difference between ok and great. Ne-yo is ok. MJ is great.

  • i agree he couldnt hit the notes like mJ I think if he would of went a lil high in his head voice he could of hit em but no one will b Mj but they should of had some 1 wit a softer voice

  • Michael sounds better.

    But Ne-Yo did better than anyone else (who wasnt Michael) at singing this song. It sounds beautiful with the both of them. Imagine if they did a duet together. That would've been spectacular.

  • ne-yo said he wanted to in the future but seriously no artist reached out to michael, they all say they want to do a song with mike but never reached out to him like WTF ?!

  • Yeahhh! I know what you mean. I'd rather hear the Michael version than this.

    Dont get me wrong Ne-Yo is my favorite singer out there and I adore him. But still.

  • Ne-yo didnt reach out to micheal jackson? Yall stupid? Might i remind yall that Ne-yo was the writer of the new songs that was going to be in Micheal Jackson's comeback. O.o So i dunno what yall talking bout.

  • noone said that he didnt do a good job. he just isnt better than MJ.

  • micheal will always be remember every generation will know his name

  • i agree with rillobeats!

  • suuch a niice song

  • ne-yo killed it...in a good way!

  • Tha Rite Dude To Cover This Song!!!

  • Ne-yo 2nd MJ in the Making

  • Huh. He wishes. : )

  • Beautiful.

  • this song is sooo beautiful
