NEW NE-YO “BECAUSE OF YOU”
Wednesday, January 31, 2007

Ne-Yo is back with a new single, “Because of You.” Although I wasn’t sure what the big deal was with Ne-Yo in the past, I have come to appreciate his ability as a writer. The boy can throw together a nice song. It’s diggable because it sort of gives me a Michael Jackson feel, as well as a tad bit of the 90’s, which I love some R&B that’s been coming out over the past month. Ne-Yo has definitely proven to be a success story from writer to artist. I love to see young people doing their thing, and making that money. ‘Cause everyone knows the real dough comes from writing.

Ne-Yo, who did you write this for? Your “girlfriend”?
Sounds like “When You’re Mad”.

It’s sounds like a semi- Micheal beat. Oh Lord, is Ne-Yo in the running as the next Micheal? Jesus, take the wheel because I’m about to crash!!

Everybody wanna be like Mike. I like the song - true, it has an MJ feel. HOWEVER, I stopped liking NeYo after seeing those pics of him. He just makes my stomach turn.

Wow I made it in the top 10. By the time I see a new post 65 people have already added there comments.
Very nice song, it does remind you of a MJ song from way back in the day. Ne-Yo always puts out hits so I’m not surprised that this song is a banger!!!

This song has been on repeat since I found it online a little while ago. It is straight FIYAH! He is a monster with the pen and pad. People write him off for whatever reasons but that can’t deny, the kidd is pure talent! Imma be the first bitch in line when his new album drops this spring.

Totally off the subject but u should do a who rocked it better between fantasia and lil kim.They both wore the same black hoody jacket with the fur around the hood.Fantasia wore hers to trl recently and lil kim wore hers to some party a lil while back.I think it would be interesting to see what people have to say.
on to Neyo,what else is there to say the boy is bad

Told yall in previous posts on him that as a songwriter, he can’t be touched! Not sure bout this song, but it’s definitely not bad at all!
OH, BTW, HE DID SO WELL IN STOMP THE YARD! I finally took off from work and got an opportunity to take the kiddos! I hated that C-Breezy was killed but he’s still a cutie! Can’t wait for that to come out on DVD! My son and his potnas have some NEW MOVES! LOL!
Go head Ne-Yo! Didn’t know he could dance either!

NeYo is mad overrated as a writer. Jill Scott is a pure songwriter, Rashad Patterson, not NeYo. Isn’t he the man behind the famous “to the left to the left”? LOL
And this song sounds like a clever remix of “So Sick” so that people won’t automatically recognize the musical base of the instrumental, but if you pay attention you can hear the similarities.
We must not hear the same song cause I find it weak.

no matter how much people love to question his sexuality or call him ugly.they cant deny ne-yo is so talented.i love his writing skills.he always seems to write hits and his singing isnt bad at all.i love him

@chantel… i understand this is a site were people post their opinions but why cant people get their props when its due?nobody not once said jill scott or whover else you mentioned wasnt talented
and you knocked IRREPLACEABLE and SO SICK but both were hits so….

lmao
Wednesday, January 31, 2007 /
Why do people say stuff like “you can’t deny him or her this or that?” We can deny whatever the hell we want, it’s our opinion. Anyway though, I’m not a major fan of his but this is okay.

I LIKE THIS SONG, ITS HOT TO ME. SOUNDS VERY CLICHE’ NEYO. YALL KNOW WHAT I MEAN….THE STARGATE PRODUCTION (SO SICK, SEXY LOVE, LET GO) THOSE HARPS GIVE IT AWAY LOL BUT IM STILL FEELIN IT THOUGH & IT REALLY DOES HAVE THAT MICHAEL FEEL, BUT THATS NOT A BAD THING THOUGH. I LOVE MICHAEL. HE MIGHT HAVE SOME PROBLEMS (LOL) BUT HE WAS ONE OF THE BEST IF NOT THE BEST SELLING ARTISTS OF ALL TIME. & I AGREE WITH WHOEVER SAID NEYO IS STARTING TO BECOME THE NEXT MICHAEL, IT SEEMS LIKE HES TAKING THAT ROUTE. THEY DO SOUND VERY SIMILAR…BUT STILL, I HOPE NEYO JUST LEAVES THAT MICHAEL FEEL TO JUST THIS SONG & NOT A WHOLE ALBUM. SWAGGER JACKING AINT A GOOD LOOK

im liking this song. and yes, it does remind me of some of MJ’s work. he’s working on a new album already?? me personally, i think they you should always wait a little while like ciara did before you go for the next album, because people kinda get tired of you.

#34…co-sign on that…swagga jacking is not a good look…
There’s so much swagga-jacking going on now-a-days…nothing seems authentic anymore…
I personally don’t think Michael be feelin people tryna jack his swagga tho…I would say it’s one thing 2 admire another artist but trying 2 sound like him is…naw
…And does anybody know who this guy is that sounds like the Mario?…it’s a new song about thug life or something like that…haven’t been able 2 find the name of the singer

^^^ Yes and so was “if you wanna be my lover” by the spice girls, and that song was garbage. Who are you to tell me who I’m supposed to give props to when I’m a consumer and judge what I find good or not for myself like anybody else? I find it interesting that people call NeYo one of the greatest songwriters, when Jill Scott or India Arie are clearly on another level, who doesn’t get their due props now?

you said you are a consumer?not one person DEMANDED you go out and buy his cd or support.all im sayin is that it seems to that you decided beforehand to write off this song before you opened this post so if you JUST KNEW you werent going to like it then why listen to it?why comment?yeah,you have your opinion but if you just thinks he’s so overrated then why waste YOUR PRECIOUS TIME and listen to such “weak” music,better yet comment on such “weak” and “overrated” music?
