I used to be a big fan of Ne-yo's. I think he writes great songs and has a good singing voice. I also enjoy his energy on stage. I just think he's slowly losing his identity. In my own words was so honesty (both him and his music). Now I think he's jumping on trends with the dance music takeover and getting lost in honoring MJ. I see MJ in just about every male entertainer (Usher, Chris Brown, Omarion, Jason Derulo, Justin Timberlake) but they still manage to bring a big portion of themselves into their artistry. Ne-yo stays within a certain range of MJ era's... he's Smooth Criminal, Man in the mirror, The way you make me feel/ Dirty Diana meets Remember the time in all his videos and performances. I think he has alot of talent, but it's almost like he's forgetting how to bring something new to the table or even worst, how to be original!
