Ne-Yo’s “One In A Million” from the just released Libra Scale is the only song that I like from that album. Others have said they were fans of “Champagne Life”, but I tried it and I wasn’t thirsty LOL.

I really don’t feel the collective energy and excitement behind this album from the “people” though. It’s too high-concept, too high-brow, and too inaccessible I feel to most of the buying public. And sure, Ne-Yo claims it’s a story that plays out, and there is a film that goes with it, blah blah blah — but we live in a singles-based world. “Beautiful Monster” may work in the context of this epic movement and art piece that you are trying to create, but on it’s own, I think it was wholly forgettable.

However, Ne-Yo’s been paying attention in voice class and getting his boom-kack on every waking minute in between being a new daddy apparently, because this performance was pretty solid. I really do like this song. He played it smart though and let the track handle the bulk of the chorus singing. What made this performance good too was that he had a lot of personality shining through, and it matches the tone and lyrics of the song. I felt like he actually put a lot of time, practice, and thought into this performance. Kudos!

Man, I don’t know what’s worse — this song or….THIS SONG.

And, I love the gays, so don’t crucify me for this, but I don’t know what is gayer — this song or…this song! Zestier than some of the past contestants on “So You Think You Can Dance”!

Ugh, this song just gives me hives and I can never sit through it. Ne-Yo tried to do his good dancing, but now that we have Jason Derulo who sounds exactly the same but just dances better and who makes music that is a lil’ less “gay” and is more current than Ne-Yo…uh oh…yeah. Schaffer, let’s figure out a new sound. This “gentlman” thing is kinda played out, and it doesn’t fit with your new song.

Pass.
