Ne-Yo gets Michael’s stamp of approval

Even though he hasn’t released three more albums yet, he has already become a style founder. Each album is a tribute to the King of Pop. In each of his albums, Ne-Yo has dedicated a song to praising his music idol, Michael Jackson. “Anyone who has followed my career from the beginning until now knows that I am a die-hard and stubborn fan of Michael Jackson.” When Ne-Yo performed his new hit song, Closer, for Michael, he received a positive reaction. “He told me he likes the way I am like Michael. I asked him what he meant. He said… ‘When you dance, it doesn’t look like you’re imitating my moves or trying to be like me. It’s like you’re praising me through your moves’… And that’s exactly what I do. The fact that he liked it meant the world to me.” Source: eMJey / MTV.com
