...and its all because of you...NE-YO - HAMMERSMITH APOLLO 22/9/08

2008 is officially 'The Year of the Gentleman' and Ne-yo made that crystal clear during his hour long set at the Hammersmith Apollo yesterday! The set consisted of simple drapes and equally simple lighting, 4 female dancers, full band and the man himself! Such a simplistic yet amazingly effective concoction gave a spell-binding show which celebrated the many beautiful diversities of being a woman and the true vunerability of a man!

He opened with 'So Sick' which I, at first, found odd but it was all part of the journey that we were undertaking with Ne-yo. From the first note of 'So Sick' to the last note of 'Closer', the entire auditorium was singing along with a lil two step here and there and this even included the tracks that the ghost-writer kindly pointed out (as if we didn't already know!) were written by him for the likes of Rihanna and Beyonce (a lil bad blood here, perhaps?? lol ;) ).

Ne-yo has his game on lock! He understands how to appeal to a mass audience and his incredible aura and sexuality on stage makes all the ladies want to be his 'Miss Independent, Sexy Love' for sure! WHEN he comes back - don't sleep - GO SEE!

In the meantime...WHAT A TRACK!
