NeYo - Who Is He?

Question

Who is this man called Neyo? i keep seeing his name online. Is he like 2Pac?

I just downloaded his song 'Do You', he sounds like a Michael Jackson wannabe.

Answer 1

I don''t think he is at the same level as 2pac,but Neyo is an R&B singer he is known for songs such as "So Sick" and "Sexy Love",he has an album out now called "Because of you".Oh yeah also he is a song writer and has helped write for artists such as Mario and Beyonce (Irreplaceable).

Here is an article on him on wikipedia you can read more there http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ne-Yo

Answer 2

Ne-Yo is a R & B singer and performer who they say sounds like Usher, Michael Jackson and a few others. His first CD was called In My Own Words and the second CD is Because Of You. He has songs called So Sick, Mirror, Sexy Love, Because of You and Do You. He is a great singer and performer and he also has written songs for Beyonce, Chris Brown, Rihanna, Celine Dion and is said to be working with Usher, Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston.

Answer 3

No, he's not a rapper. He's a young rnb singer/performer and a well respected, highly in demand song writer. He's more of an Usher meets Michael Jackson with a little Stevie Wonder in the mix.

He wrote the very controversial song "unfaithful" by Rihanna, smash hit "irreplaceable" by Beyonce and worked with everyone from Joe, Ruben Studdard, Mary J Blige, B2K, Faith Evans and many more next to producing albums for himself, other artists and movies.

He composed and sang his own current hit Because of you, Sexy love, When you're mad, and his first hit So sick (of love songs). He's the new kid on the block making big waves in the rnb scene.

Answer 4

He's not like Tupac. He's not a Hip Hop singer, he might have collaberations with rap artist but he's a R&B singer. He was a producer prior to singing, he produced alot of peoples songs.
At the tender age of twenty-two, the lyrical and musical talent that Ne-Yo posses are far beyond his years. Born into a family of musicians from Arkansas, Shaffer C. Smith a.k.a. Ne-Yo was raised in a single parent home by his mother. In hopes of a better opportunity, Ne-Yo's mother relocated the family to Las Vegas Nevada; where Ne-Yo would discover his passion.

A master in the art of storytelling, Ne-Yo began writing at an early age. A vivid imagination and creative energy has allowed Ne-Yo to write songs for multi-platinum artists such as Mary J. Blige, B2K, Faith Evans, and Musiq.

JUST for the record, I love getting best answer votes.....

Answer 5

"Michael Jackson wannabe" no way! He's already made a name for himself, he doesn't need to be like anyone else. He's very talented. But if you don't like "Do You", try some of his better songs, like "Sexy Love" or "So Sick"..."Because of You" is pretty good too. I think all of those are better than "Do You" anyway. He's nothing like Michael Jackson..or 2Pac.

Answer 8

Neyo is a really good singer and song writer in the business.

Answer 9

R U kidding me. Ne-Yo is god. He is the best R&B singer ever. He's not a Michael Jackson wannabe. Michael Jackson was pre-Ne-Yo. Firsst the worst second the best.

Answer 10

He is an R&B singer/song writer. He wrote Beyonce's Irreplacable (to the left, to the left). He has some good songs out such as So Sick, and Do You.

No he does not sound like no MJ, and also he is nothing like Tupac.
