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!
@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 ..
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
@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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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 =]
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.
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;
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!!!!
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
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!!
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.
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
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:)
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
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.
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!
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
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 !!
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
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 ?!
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.
2:48 he sounds so like MJ! There both awesome!!

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!

Michael is SOO much better!!! Ne-Yo is no MJ ever.
whitekoolaid13 2 years ago 3
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 !!

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.
UNCBTC 2 years ago
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 ?!
bklynchicka994 2 years ago
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.
tiasiamonet 2 years ago
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.
