Ne-Yo’s prediction about Michael’s return

Ne-Yo says that Michael’s return could be the biggest of its kind. The R&B singer, who is currently busy touring with the Pussycat Dolls, has collaborated with him on a few tracks for Michael’s new album. He says he can’t wait for Michael’s new songs. “I wrote a few songs for him and he chose the ones he liked. But I don’t have an opinion about when the album will be released. Michael makes that decision himself. This album is very important to him, so he can be as picky as he wants when choosing songs. This album will either be the biggest comeback in history, or a regrettable attempt to reclaim the glory of the past. And we don’t want it to be the second one.” Ne-Yo, whose real name is Shaffer Chimere Smith, says that during his first close encounter with Michael, he felt like a trembling leaf. “He’s one of my heroes, and meeting him was like a fantasy. At first I didn’t know what to say, but after a bit of talking about music, the ice between us broke.” “The first time he called, I hung up. Someone who called himself ‘Mike’ rang me, and I hung up because I thought he was joking with me. Ten minutes later, I got a call from his manager. He said Michael Jackson really wanted to talk to me.” Source: eMJey / My Park Magazine
