5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE THIS CD, February 12, 2007

By	Kizzy85 "Real Person Not a Critic" (Cincinnati, OH) - See all my reviews

I listen to every song except for one. One of them just annoying to me. But other than that this man has real talent. He sings, he writes, who knew! Great CD, I would recommend it to everyone. Well everyone born between 1982 and 1993.

This Boy Possesses ILL skills - Like *Magic*. He Won't Be Denied in the Near Future, I'm just So sure of it!

I like His smooth vocal ability, His decent range, and His songwriting skills are up there with the rest of the non-refundable R&B/Pop stars.

I love Ne-Yo. He's kinda cute and He's so fly.

I can't speak enough about Him!!!

I now own this and have played it enough to know how it works. There are songs that are close enough to R&B to actually be called so - So Sick, When You're Mad, and Time - as well as those with a more Pop and catchy feel - Stay, Let Me Get This Right, Sign Me Up (one of my favorites), and the mid-tempo Let Go. He has a way with words and although this CD is about music - Stay - relationships, love and, well, relationships and love.

Although the subject matter at hand it quite limited, that doesn't make this a bad run through nor does it take away from this man's talent. It's very fresh-feeling, youthful, catchy, filled with good, good beats, a few samples and something that a lot of the monotone rap could take a few tips from; talent.

This album as of February 2006, has sold over 1,400,000 copies (1.4 million) in the U.S. alone, certified platinum once over. His sophomore release, which wasn't up to par but way more varied musically, Because Of You is doing well also. It has been certified Platinum also.

There is not one song here I don't appreciate at least a little.

He's got *It*, I'm telling You. Buy a copy, and just zone the "F" out. :P

end note: It Just Ain't Right is pretty much my favorite track from the album. It's a bit more poppy than R&B, but the lyrics and the way he sings it gives it R&B undertones. Come to think about it, I may like this CD more than some others cause it is pretty poppy in parts...
