Oh, I've missed that. mad lol

Yes, he is a very talented song writer. He's a quite new discovery for me. I saw the album in a store a couple of months ago and as I liked "Sexy Love" and "So Sick" I thought why not buy the album and see how the rest sounds. Now I'm hooked! Some songs are beautiful, some fun and some just plain hot.
I like to just close my eyes and listen to "Mirror"... razz

[Verse 1:]
I must be honest with you babe (just gotta be honest)
I love to watch the faces that you make (when we make love oh girl)
But when I'm behind you holding your hips and you close your eyes and bite your lips
I can't see you so might I suggest a change
Now mama please don't think me strange for what I'm about to say
(please don't think me strange)
If you know anything bout me by now
you know I'm a freak just follow my lead

[Chorus:]
Baby I love making love in front of the mirror (in front of the mirror)
So that I can watch you enjoying me (baby tonite)
Baby tonite let's try in front of the mirror (in front of the mirror)
Watching ourselves make love
Girl why don't we

[Verse 2:]
Little mama keep your chin up, please watch me do the...nasty
I like it when you make it move fast
Mami if I pull your head back
Cuz I want you to see that we look so good together
I understand that your not ready for me to make my directorial debut
featuring me but starring you
Baby that's okay with me
Honestly this is the next best thing

[Chorus:]
Baby I love making love in front of the mirror (in front of the mirror)
So that I can watch you enjoying me (baby tonite)
Baby tonite lets try in front of the mirror (in front of the mirror)
Watching ourselves make love girl why don't we

I see you can you see me watching you loving it [8x]

[Chorus:]
Baby I love making love in front of the mirror (in front of the mirror)
So that I can watch you enjoying me (baby tonite)
Baby tonite lets try in front of the mirror (in front of the mirror)
Watching ourselves make love
girl why don't we

[Fading:]
Can we make love in front of the mirror

He's one of the best new talents in the R&B field these days. He's also very smart, and wise.

Ne-Yo's alright. I've been contemplating getting his CD cause I liked a few of the songs I've heard off of it. He's one of very few artists that I dig in the last couple of years.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

In My Own Words is definitely worth the money! There's not one bad song on the album, which is very unusual. If you like the few songs you've already heard then you won't be disappointed with the rest of the album. The best word to describe the album with is: sexy. cool

he's an amazing singer and songwriter. I'm not crazy about today's r&b that much but ne yo is an exception. His music reminds of mj and marvin gaye
