Y does it seem as to Neyo can NEVER make a BAD song? I mean, the man is GREAT! I still think I like him better as a songwriter tho!

I love it and I knew I would..it’s Ne-Yo

Disney channel should be sued for making this mess called a movie… The frog princess is sending HORRIBLE messages to little black girls. For one thing the Prince is WHITE or Arab…Whatever he is he is NOT BLACK. What is Disney trying to say about black men? What will little boys think when they see this movie? People please don’t support this film. If you do, you will scar your little girls brain…. your sons also!

You see how white people do? They give us a brownskin princess….but can’t give her a black prince!

Nice song…love Ne yo.

Anyway
I agree with what yall are saying.
The next time yall watch tv pay attention.
Notice that whenever a black person is on a show or a commercial, there is RARELY a black man and women together @ the same time.
I actually paid attention one day and it is a SPECIAL OCCASION when you see a black man and a black woman together.
Plenty of white couples but rarely a black couple.
Commercials, ads, sitcoms, movies most time never have them (black men and women) occupying the same space.
This movie is a mess. There is nothing wrong with interracial couples.
But then again there is nothing wrong with black couples.
Get it together Disney…….

I like the song, and am excited about the movie, but I have to agree with E.G Disney doesn’t know how to do a film that deal’s with Black folk w/o making one of the characters if not all be in a interracial relationship and its always Black and White, never any other races (except for the show Flash Forward which was very cool of them to do). Its like over killed to the point it starts to look like they are devaluing those who end up being in a same raced relationship. I am not against interracial relationships by far, but I am for children seeing variety of relationships that are not always interracial (Black & White). If your going to show this, which does need to be shown, don’t forget that we also date our own as well (note: they always have it where its okay to show same raced relationships with Caucasians in TV and movies but as soon as you get that token Minority they have to only date Caucasians) and both can be beautiful, stop making it one sided just to devalue what we do in our community, and in my opinion devalue the worth of a Black Woman or a Black Man. Educate but don’t eliminate or devalue relationships of all types that includes same raced relations. Just my thought.

NE-YO IS WACK..HIS VOICE IS FLAT AS HELL AND HE SING THA SAME SONG OVER AND OVER..AND YALL B THA SAME ONES TALKIN ABOUT YALL WANNA HEAR SOME GOOD MUZIK..THE PROBLEM IS YALL DONT KNOW GOOD MUZIK WHEN U HEAR IT..WHO REALLY LIKES NE-YO..DOES HE HAVE DIE HARD FANS?..AND ON THE WRITIN SIDE..ALL HE DOES IS THE SAME SONG AS WELL..”IM LEAVIN MY MAN” FOR THA CHICKS..”"I WOULD CLIMB THE MOUNTAINS” FOR THE DUDES..SERIOUSLY..WHO PAYS FOR THIS DUDES PRODUCTIONS…

Neyo is the best songwriter in the world. Every time he writes a song, it has good lyrics, and is an instant hit. He is doing his thing behind the scenes. Keep on writing songs Neyo. We love every one of them.

BIG VON, I’m not a hater at all, but I have to say I agree…Writer=Good, Singer=WACK!!!

NE-YO IS A GREAT SINGER
THERNBSTARZ.NET

NE-YO IS A GREAT SINGER

THERNBSTARZ.NET

LOL WHAT A LOSER§
A GROWN MAN MAKING SONGZ FOR DISNEY?REALLY NEYO?
HE DOESNT KNOW ABOUT DIGNITY?
ANOTHER BORING STARGATE SONG!
OH AND FOR THE RECORD NEYO IS NOTHING WITHOUT STARGATE…IT MEANS HE IS A BAD SINGER…

Love this song!! Ne-yo does it again - not a bit surprised. His songwriting skills are amazing, and I love the man’s smooth sexy voice!

Congratulations, Ne-Yo!

It’s A Good Tune..Ne-Yo can do no wrong!!

People who are saying he can’t sing need to throw themselves under a bus like you can sing any better!!
@Britney: ur too dumb…who else makes soundtracks for Animated movies ..9 year old children…please go to sleep!

Educated Goon i agree 100%…i still can’t get my head around this frog business aswell… Mehhhh!!!!

The Song sounds like a perfect song for a Disney movie, GOOD LOOK Ne-YO.

I really think yall should promote and support the film instead of just bashing. I understand what yall saying but a least us black ppl got this. We should just be proud, go watch the movie, and make Princess & The Frog the highest selling princess movie. Sometimes black ppl kill me because they want “all black everything” but look at it….if it was black would it be better…NO probably just the same. Look at VH1 they give black ppl shows all the time….and how they act..IGNORANT. So lets jus support the film instead of bashing it ppl.

Whew, that thang know he ugly!!!!

BEAUTIFUL song!

I have issues with the prince not being black, but word in Hollywood is that black couples in film aren’t as palatable (read: they don’t make as much $$) as white couples in film . . . we know this is bull, but until black hollywood powerbrokers pool their resources and create their own film distribution companies and studios, we will have to settle for what we are given . . .

So either we stay home when the film comes out, or support it . . .

#3…………GIVE ME A DAYUM BREAK, WHAT R BLACK MEN TRYING TO SAY ABOUT THEMSELVES? MAJORITY OF BLACK MEN DATE/MARRY OUTSIDE THEIR RACE AND WE R THE SMALLEST POPULATION. SO WHAT R BLACK MEN THINKING AND SAYING ABOUT BLACK WOMEN? GO TO BLACKCELEBKIDS.COM………90% OF BLACK MEN ON THAT SITE R MARRIED TO WOMEN THAT ARENT BLACK. YA SEE I SAID MARRIED TO THEM, CAUSE THEY JUST MAKE BABIES WITH THE BLACK WOMEN. ANYWAY……….LUV ME SOME NE YO, WITH HIS SEXY AZZ. I WOULD LUV TO TASTE THEM SEXY LIPS.

Nice Song!!

i loveee loveee lovee neyo sooo much,
the man cant put a foot wrong!
get a new album out!
xxxxxxxxxx

# 20 LUVBUG I’m with ya on that! But first let me send my congrats to NeYo for doing his thing! He is the bomb song writer and like someone stated up top who else would write a Disney Song for a Sound Track a kid?? Get out of here with that mess. Elton John write some of the best songs for children movies and he get paid so do you NeYo and don’t worry about the crazy haters!
My thing is with ppl saying they have a problem with black couples not being shown together in major films is I rarely see it in real life. As a black women I get more play from men of other races so who are you to say that this movie don’t show a different side of black ppl?? Black men will marry a white women before they would a black women who got there kids? Do I think something wrong with that? YEAH! Do I think something wrong with a sister going out of her race and it being seen in public? NO! Because the thing is we would well Let me not speak for all, but I would prefer to be with a black man but its some fine!! and seriously more attentive men in other races that I would date and possiable marry. The last Madea movie with Taraj and Adam and Brain, Yo I’m going with Adam! He wanted to love her and the other was married and cheating on the wife to be with her. I mean what is that? Thats truely how it be sometimes. Now I do give props to my black couples who are together and going strong, but if we going to be realistic be realistic and stop acting like its always a black on black love. I’m taking my girls to see just to show them you aint got to stick to one race cause God created all of us as individuals and you can choose whatever race you want to be friends with or love for that matter. And thats the end of my 2 cents!LOL

Love it! I can’t wait to see this movie.

Love the song! Ne-Yo is a genius! I can’t wait to see this movie.

Ne-Yo never lets you down

The Prince is suppose to be of creole African descent, he is not suppose to be caucasian. If you look at pictures of him, he defintely looks like a light skinned or creole man. He kinda looks like Rick Fox to me. lol. If Disney has not directly come out and said that the Prince is not black, then I beleive he is black, cuz he is the same complexion as me and my brother, and we are definitely “black”. I can see why some people are confused, because yes, the Prince’s voice is played by a white man, but so was Aladin of middle eastern descent and Pocanhontas, of native american descent, voiced by a white woman . Yes Disney has a history of being rascist and should have provided the prince with a black man to play the voice. But I beleive that what they are trying to convey is that black people come in all complexions, from Prince Naveen’s color to Tiana’s color which i think is a great thing. I think sometimes people try to contrive something for what it is not.

Cant wait for this movie to come out!! Neyo needs a break.

Love the song Ne-Yo, good job!

Anyway I thought the concept of the movie is that she falls in love with the Frog, kiss the Frog and it turns into a Prince!

I don’t get how it’s a black or white issue!

Does anyone know what color will the frog be once he turns into a Prince!

Please tell me.

GollegeGirl12 I agree with what you said. I’m glad they did that showing black people

come in all shades. Beautiful.

@ Brittany: A lot of singers do music for Cartoon Soundtracks; Ex Whitney Houston

and Mariah Carey for the Prince of Egypt; Peabo Bryson and Regina Bell for Aladdin

I like this song, I love the sound of Neyos voice he can sing to me any day. Luv me some Neyo!!!!.

Ok, I went on the web and looked up Princess and the Frog and saw the Prince for myself!

And Yeah, sorry but he is a “White” Prince! Disney could have made him a lil darker like the Princess!

Sorry but our kids need to see a figure of a Strong Black Prince!

That’s just my opinion!

Disney waits to do a Black animation series….last. You want black families represented but you support artist who constantly sing and portray Black women as not marriage or wife material. I am seriously tired of our men portraying us as desperate women or a chick on the side.

If we continue to let our artist portray us as loose women, no baby daddies, strong women-not POWERFUL WOMEN- what do you expect out of Hollywood!

Whenever I see a certain couple…white married billionaire male…with single black female….it reminds me too much of the slave/master syndrome.

Regardless of what the latest video, artist/ entertainer, Hollywood or what ever tells us our children and our families deserve to shown as whole, married couples….a not some one’s side piece.

Disney’s princess and frog theme is what every girl wants…a prince to love, cherish, defend, marry and support her. I say go to the film and boycott all of this other garbage videos, music, etc.

It really doesn’t matter what the price look like! Did anyone care when the prince from Cinderella (Black version)was a philipino ? We should be thankful that we finally got a black princess! This is like a dream come true for little black girls all over the world.Besides, the prince is a frog damn near the whole movie so who freaking cares.

I agree go see the movie. I for one am excited to see another positive-powerful- Black female role model as the leading character. Remember Sephora -Moses’ wife-in the Prince of Egypt?

A strong man is like a mule or a pack animal…works hard can take a lot of garbage,but does not direct his future. A powerful man directs his future and influences those around him for the good of his community also a GODLY man. A powerful man is like Martin Luther King. A strong man would be Mike Tyson.

We need powerful Black images.

I thought the prince was Creole.

Disney needs to start promoting this movie if it wants it do well. I see more about Tinkerbell on the Disney Channel than this movie. Looks like this is not going to do so well, might be the first and only major motion cartoon about an African American princess.

Black women are just as bad as black men when it comes to being in relationships with whites ,you can`t just blame black males, Halle Berry ,Kelli Washingtom ,Venus Williams ,Naomi Campbell ,Garcelle Beauvais and many other black women are in relationships with whIte men.So it`s not just black men who prefer to date or marry outside their race.

I wish that people would stop stereotyping all black men .Not all black men prefer white women. I have never dated a white girl, I don`t find flat butts and pale skin to be attractive. Furthermore,there is no such thing as a white race or a arab race or a asian race ,etc. etc. , Everyone on earth , comes from black people . Whites,Asians,Arabs,Indians and all other races,have black blood in their veins.Because they all come from Blacks.,

I meant to say Zephora- Moses wife.

So you’re all judging this movie before you’ve even seen it??? The movie isn’t even what this post was about. It was about the song. I am excited that Ne-Yo got an opportunity to do an original song for a Disney movie because if the song gets nominated for an Oscar (as most original Disney songs do) then he will get to perform it on the show. That would be a big deal for him and I would be excited to watch it. As far as everyone complaining about the whole “inter-racial” thing with the movie…..one question….WHY CAN”T WE EVER BE SATISFIED???? We finally get a black Disney princess and now have to bitch about her boyfriend not being “black” enough or black at all. If it was a white PRINCE main character who was in love with a black princess, everyone would be on Disney’s jock about how progressive they were. See the movie before you jump to all of these conclusions and stop perpetuating negativity about a subject in the movie that might not even exist. Because TRUST, we need to see this movie. Everyone should see this movie. If it doesn’t make any $$ don’t count on having another black Disney movie or any other black animated movie anytime soon. Then the non-black studio big wigs can all say “we told you so” and then you would REALLY have something to bitch about.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? TALKING ABOUT LITTLE BLACK BOYS NEED TO SEE A STRONG BLACK PRINCE. HOW MANY LITTLE BLACK BOYS ARE WALKING AROUND TALKING ABOUT THEY WANT TO BE A PRINCE? GTFOH

AND IF THAT’S THE CASE WHY NOT LET HIM SEE A STRONG BLACK PRINCE IN HIS OWN HOUSE? WHERE IS HIS FATHER IF HE IS LOOKING FOR A ROLE MODEL?
ALL THESE DEAD BEAT BABY DADDIES ARE THE PROBLEM. ALL THIS LIL’ WAYNE SYNDROME GOING ON OUT HERE. DUDES JUST POPPING OFF IN THESE FEMALES NEED TO WRAP IT UP.
Y’ALL FEMALES ARE JUST AS GUILTY LAYING DOWN WITH THESE NO GOOD KNEE-GROWS HAVING BABIES WHEN YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW HIS WHOLE NAME. NEVER MET HIS FAMILY. DON’T KNOW A DAMN THING ABOUT HIM.
SIT DOWN. ON HERE ALL UPSET ABOUT A PRINCE AND A FROG. GET UPSET ABOUT THE REAL SH!T GOING ON IN YOUR HOODS.

Strong and Powerful is all the same to me! Im very happy to see we finally have a black princess for our little girls to see, but really my mother in my eyes is my
Black Princess or Queen for that matter and my Father is my King!

But disney is making it hard for a little girl who have not had a father around to just look at that film and say oh the Prince is Black! sorry but Disney is sending out the wrong message to our little girls like “White is Right” and that we can only find happiness in a White Prince! that is a lie if I ever saw one!

To do justice to the film I think the Prince should be darker so that it won’t be no mis -understanding that the Princess is in love with a Black Prince, all I’m saying is, you can clearly see that the Princess is BLACK, so make it clear that the Prince is BLACK also!

One Luv Kiddo.

@41 I totally agree!

OH YEAH AND DISNEY CAN SUCK IT!
BUT I BET THE SAME ONES SO UPSET AND CALLING DISNEY RACIST WILL STILL GO SUPPORT THE MOVIE AND BUY ALL THE PRINCESS AND FROG PRODUCTS THAT DISNEY PUTS OUT.
SEE THE PROBLEM WITH BLACK FOLKS IS THEY TALK A GOOD GAME BUT DON’T PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS. YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT THE WHITE MAN DOES BUT STILL LOVE TO GIVE HIM YOUR MONEY. SMH.

Hollywood is wack. Lakeview Terrace, almost every Halle Berry movie, and most defineitly all JLo movies. All paired up with white men. Damn shame. Halle was only with a black man on film when she was playing a crack head and when her man was on deathrow. That says volumes.

IT’S NOT JUST IN MOVIES..THE NEWSCASTERS, ON COMMERCIALS, IN VIDEOS, ETC. YOU HARDLY EVER SEE A BLACK MAN AND BLACK WOMAN TOGETHER AND IN A NON-DYSFUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIP.

IT IS A SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE BEING SENT OUT. THE BLACK FAMILY UNIT IS A THING OF THE PAST.

ERIQ LASALLE THE BLK DOCTOR ON E.R. REFUSED TO BE PAIRED WITH A NON-BLACK LOVE INTEREST ON THE SHOW SO THEY GOT RID OF HIM. ALL BECAUSE HE QUESTIONED THEM BY SAYING..”WHY CAN’T MY CHARACTER BE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH A BLACK WOMAN?” THEY WROTE HIM RIGHT OUT OF THE SHOW.

@ 46

exactly!! However black people keep supporting this subliminal message.
I refuse to give my money to that kind of work because the more money they get
the more power they have to do it again.

@ 3

I agree. It’s interesting to see that the top concern on this post is about “little black girls”, nevermind the effect that this movie could have on “little black boys.” I agree that we need to have films that show black couples, and not interracial. Haven’t listened to the song, and don’t care to…

38 # Tyreek, people need to get off that shit, that all black men want a white girl , yo, Reek ! I`m like you a white girl can try to come up in my crib but they never gonna get past the front door.because I`m not attracted to them, white girls have no butt ,just pale skin that needs some color.I don`t want them feeling up on my wood and grill.I`m like no you can`t spend the night .Because their butts are so flat,that if I try to smack it,all I`m gonna smack is air ! I need a chick with some color and a big butt !

@1 am so with u, u can always count on Ne-yo for a perfect heart-felt tune, gotta love this man, u r da best out there

i don’t care about the movie though

the prince is a frog not whitw or black. no im just playing but damn support it either way, a Black princess no body really cares about the prince in the long run. We finally made it, and lets be honest ALLL of the male roles or princes have been white except Alladin. Hunchback of notre dam and gypsy and a white guy, Pocahontas a native American and a white guy, dont think that Disney is gunna flip the switch now. besides the guy is most likely french and they are in new orleans so it would be right that blacks and the french go together because they did thats why there is Creole. i have nieces so im going to be seeing this movie anyhow.

@ educated goon - ugh, it is not that serious, okay? u r so stupid.
anyway, i LOVE this song!! it’s so beautiful and i can’t wait til this movie comes out

I can’t wait for this movie!
As to the song, I don’t think it lives up to the other Disney Princess soundtracks. All the music for this movie needs to be EPIC.

Finally, The “REAL” story will be told!lol Cant wait to check it out

yall should check out interscope artist alja jackson… she killin it right now….myspace.com/aljaonlinenow
