My Ugly Sexy Boyfriend

It's not even that Ne-Yo is that ugly. What qualifies as cute nowadays, anyways?

What Ne-Yo lacks in the looks department, he sure does make up for in the creative, artsy, musician sexy boy department. My love affiar with Ne-Yo began long ago, when I couldn't stop bobbing my head to Let Me Love You by Mario. I noticed I was way more in love with the lyrics than the actual singer, Mario. I found out that a young chap named Ne-Yo penned the tune and have anxiously followed his career ever since.

My crush, however, has grown much in the last year. With production credits all over the place, Ne-Yo has firmly planted a spot as the premiere R&B/Pop producer of all the hottest singers. His song, This Can't B Good by Janet Jackson is by far the best song on her latest album Discipline. The aching allure to the song, screams of Ne-Yo's pen. And as sexy as Ms. Janet is purring over the rhythmic bassline, I can only think of Ne-Yo when I hear the song.

But let's not be mistaken. Just because Ne-Yo writes amazing music for many others, he definately saves the jems for himself. His new song, Closer, is everything I ever wanted out of House and R&B music. The lyrics are sexy and intricate, and the beat thumps enough to get any party started. Anticipating his new album, The Year of the Gentleman, has almost surpassed my excitement for my Pretty Sexy Boyfriend Usher's release.
