COver - http://i1.tinypic.com/3y44daf.jpg
Track List
1. The Corner (Intro) 2. Watch You Dance 3. I Was In Love 4. Go To Sleep 5. Can't Stop 6. The Plan (Interlude) 7. Lonely 8. Don't Worry Me Now 9. Feels So Good (ft. Remy Ma) 10. Sexy Love (Duet Remix) (ft. Candace Jones) 11. So Sick (Remix) (ft. LL Cool J) 12. Put You In A Letter (ft. Mic Little)
What about the song "You Ain't Gotta Go"? Is that like a... Bonus Track or something?
I think it might be a Bootleg, because for a new album, they would take new photo's and that photo's been a single cover
maybe a bootleg section or a note could be added.
We should add a bootleg section. Someone should do it who knows how to. I might if no-one else will

- That's because it was originally the publicity handout, which that site has posted. Tempted to restore. -- Jjjsixsix (talk)/(contribs) @ 16:38, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Neutrality
These are opinions:
- At the tender age of twenty-two, Ne-Yo possesses lyrical and musical talent that are far beyond his years.
- "Let Me Love You" is a glimpse into the mind of a true writer.
- A master in the art of storytelling,...
- ...this dynamic entertainer is ready to deliver
Moreover, some phrases are better suited for magazines than an encyclopedia, such as:
- Ne-Yo is taking the music industry by storm,
Someone please clean up this article. Mindmatrix 18:41, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- I think this is much better now; most of the publicity handout is gone. I'm gunna say that this is neutral, or at least close, at this point. Jjjsixsix 03:23, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] random comment.
Why is This article portrays Shivaji's image as person influenced by Hindu and especially Brahmin ideology, which is completely false. The mention of James Laine's book is unwanted and there was great controversy @ it in India. in the article?
I can't edit it out either; it's really weird. - Jjjsixsix 22:18, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- Never mind, it's gone. But I swear I wasn't hallucinating. - Jjjsixsix 22:19, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Bold Name
Why is Ne-Yo bold everytime his name is mentioned?
- That was because his name was being continuously Wikified throughout the article. I've removed the Wikification marks. As I've noticed recently, this can be a problem if the actual name of the article was different to the name of the individual (for example, if he were [[Ne-Yo (singer)]]). Anyway. It's dealt with. Thank you for pointing this out. Bobo. 08:58, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Race
Ne-Yo was born to Puerto Rican immigrants, so he is Puerto Rican.
- No.He's Partially puerto rican.he has a chinese, puerto rican, and african american decent.--Cute 1 4 u 06:27, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] His birth year
Was he born in 1982? Because in Teen People magazine it said he was 26 but in another article that i read they said he was 22... which on is it cuz i wannw know how old my man (fave singer) really is!!!!
NOTE: I went to Rancho High School with Shaffer and I can confirm he is 22. I am 27 and he graduated the same year as me (1998).
[edit] a penguin?
"Ne-Yo said that growing up his father
[edit] Not In Touch It
I believe the version of the Touch It remix with Ne-Yo was fan-made, as he was NOT credited in the Touch It productions.
How can it be fanmade? Ne-Yo would have actually recorded the verse- it isn't in any of his other songs.
[edit] Envy
I added information about Ne-Yo's previous group, but someone editted it out, saying I didn't have a source. Anyways, here's a video of him performing with his group Envy: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Lg6ygzZFfRs (Rishi B 02:20, 7 July 2006 (UTC))
Here's another link http://www.askmen.com/men/celeb_profiles_entertainment/31_ne_yo.html (Rishi B 03:13, 7 July 2006 (UTC))
[edit] Gay?
Who put that he was gay, I don't think he is. As it says in the "Trivia" section, there were leaked photos of him receiving oral sex by one of his FEMALE backup dancers. I've seen the pictures. He ain't gay.

- I'm not adding this as it sounds just like gossip fodder for now, but I was told today that Essence magazine would be publishing in October an interview in which Ne-Yo reportedly came out. Anybody have any more news on this? Elefuntboy 00:15, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
I recieved the same exact info. -Le Raine
I posted something and it cgot deleted Le Raine 20:31, 28 August 2006
If you heard that Essence is printing an article that finds Ne-Yo coming out of the closet, then you should wait until the article actually appears. That way, you can use it as a source for a statement about Ne-Yo's sexuality. Or, find a legitimate online source or print source that mentions the upcoming article and use that as a reference. Unfortunately, rumors of a forthcoming article, whether they're true or not, aren't good enough. Infamous30 03:52, 29 August 2006 (UTC)i dont care if he's gay he can sing
[edit] Not Gay
Hopefully this will kill the controversy:
Ne-Yo's publicist is flatly denying claims that the singer will announce that he's gay during a New York press conference this week and in an upcoming issue of Essence magazine. An e-mail purportedly including quotes from the interview and attributed to a woman named Barbra Stradoff at Essence has also been circulating. "It's completely false," a Def Jam representative said. "There's isn't a staff member by that name at Essence, nor is Ne-Yo going to be featured in the October issue of the magazine."... (MTV News, August 29) [1]

To further discuss this, it seems like its made way to radio stations too. Supposedly, Friday, September 8th, he will discuss this and more. The radio station is Q93. so look out for it.
I'm not surprised. He's pretty hot, but the way I heard it was that he's bi-courious. I'm bi, but I always neglected Shaffer, till now.
[edit] Rumors
Should we include this section? Someone has anonymously removed it, but i'm hesitant to replace it. Elefuntboy 01:03, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ne-Yo's Biography
Could someone please read a Ne-Yo Biography and re-write it into your own words so it is appropriate (And not copied) for Wikipedia? Please, In that, you can include his Music Career and Personal Life

[edit] Second Album
I heard on TV that Ne-Yo's second album is to be called "The Truth, The Way, The Problem"... Is this true? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mickel The Vain (talk • contribs) 03:58, 17 December 2006 (UTC).
I don't know. That is an interesting title as i can remember in another Ne-Yo song him mentioning something about the title. He says " I hop y'all are enjoying "The Truth, The Way, The Problem thus far". But, i think that it was a song not on his album. Possibly one from his album that was never released. Maybe thats where this information came from. I don't know :P What do you think?
Yeah, It was in the song "The Plan", but on some show, it said something about his sophomore album being titled that.
Could be, i don't know. Maybe he'll use material from his unreleased album.
Hopefully, I love the songs Can't Stop, Go To Sleep, You Ain't Gotta Go, The Plan, I Was In Love And Don't Worry Me Now. They'd be great songs for an album
Please clean up this article. — zero » · 4:44:22 am, Saturday, 24 March 2007
