as someome who's been a hardcore Michael Jackson fan since I was about 12, I was impressed with Ne-Yo when he first came out. I heard a song by him on the radio, I think it was "Sick Of LoveSongs" and I got exited, because he has a true spark of what made MJ great. even if it is a small spark. Chris Brown, Kanye, Rhianna, and certain other artists try to use MJ's sound look or style to build up their own image. I think Ne-Yo comes from a place of respect with his music more so than alot of the other imitators. Besides, even Michael Jackson said he liked the way Ne-Yo does Michael Jackson, because it was less like imitation and more like complimenting. I'm glad that these songs will be on his Libra Scales album and I don't thnk he should feel ashamed to use these songs. I think MJ would approve. I've heard some of the leaked tracks, and I love them.
