It was a while before I was won over by the many talents of Ne-yo. He is truly an amazing singer, songwriter, and performer. However that does not leave him immune to the hype and manipulation of the music industry. With out bashing him to much, I was disturbed to find that he is not as flawless as he portrays. He too finds reason to use embellishment to sell his records. And I don't mean lyrical exaggeration.
