Can he technically sing? I just don't get the hype around him
He doesn't have any range nor is he versatile. He doesn't match up to R&B legends like R.Kelly or MJ that's for sure. But yea why do people like him so much and do you think he can sing?

well i'm a fan and Ne-yo can sing though ..compare to the other New R&B guys he's one of the best ones in my opinion.Of course Maxwell and others are better but ne-yo is decent.

He doesn't match up to R&B legends like R.Kelly or MJ that's for sure
Well who in 2009 can actually be in the same league with these people? nobody i'm 21 and Even I admit this new generation of music sucks

Well I don't like that queen

Another "high pitched', squealing, whining, "singers"... Please.

LOL! I know right!

I'm not too much a fan, not a "I'll buy your cd" fan, but a "I can tolerate you on the radio", fan.
I'm old school.

Exactly.

I won't turn straight back to NPR....

He's got a pretty good sense of melody.

he is huge in Japan

so basically that doesn't mean much, except that he looks and sounds good

I think he's a good songwriter. But after buying his 1st 2 cds, he wasn't gonna trick me again.

I don't buy into the premise of this thread. I didn't think people liked NeYo "so much."


But I gave up on pop culture about 2 years ago and haven't looked back.

I don't.

Who the hell isn't huge in Japan? Naomi Campbell[Sidekick SlipHand]'s album was huge in Japan. Her song, gh.. "Love Song"? I think was the theme for Long Vacation, in Japan.
Japanese people love anything, but I anit mad!

I don't. He's a wanker.

Uh, hardly any one cares about Neyo any more. He had one hit with So Sick and then that was it. He's gotten some credit for writing Irreplaceable for Beyonce but otherwise nothing.

cheesecakequeen said:

yeah, they even STILL like Michael Jackson!

He caught my attention with that "Stay with me" booty shaker video! His first album was okay. Some his music is alright.

Ne-yo has to wear hats because the shape of his head is jacked up! He rarely goes with out a hat, and I don't blame him.


Stay with Me

I like his voice, think he's a pretty decent songwriter and I enjoy his music. I don't think he's great, but he's good. He does have talent.

I enjoy some of her songs, but I wont buy an album...too predictable. I like my soul with suprises.


I did like that "Sex With My Ex" on Because Of U that was hott...sound like Andre Cymone.

he has a good voice and is a good songwriter, but I got tired of him very fast, cause all his stuff sounds the same even if his melodies are catchy and he creates hits.

this is crazy miss ne-yo got them hits.

I mean she need to do more uptempo tunes. With her producing Rock With U and Closer..I thought she was going to have more on her album, but I just gave up trying to be kind.

question though, don't you guys at least like She Got Her Own? It has a nice clean sound with good pianos and a positive message.

Neyo sampled Smokey Robinsons' "Baby come close" song, in this song below!


Leaving Tonight



Baby come Close




I like them both, Ne-yo ain't to bad!

Nice duet but the original song it sampled shits all over it.

I'm tired of the Michael Jackson and R.Kelly wannabes in general!

Well Michael Jackson looks better than Ne-yo!!!
