Ne-Yo saluted the sweet sounds of Motown with a unique rendition of the US National Anthem in the famed label’s hometown of Detroit.
The GRAMMY Award-winning crooner was on hand at the NFL Thanksgiving game between the Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys.
Taking a center stage, Mr. Smith delivered a soulful take on ‘The Star-Spangled Banner.’
Check it out below…
Taking on the National Anthem can be quite an intimidating feat, especially when opting for a different approach.
For Ne-Yo, however, the risk paid off. Solid performance.

Crackney Hoeston was AWFUL
I like Ne-Yo, but not this rendition. He sang it 10x better for Game 4 of the NBA Finals two years ago. It was excellent.
The game was between the Detroit Lions and the Chicago Bears ……
He looks like the teacher from Assassination Classroom.
