finding ne-yo (*huwoo.)

and so i got the chance to see ne-yo live last saturday. he was indeed amazing! he sounded just as great live. how i wish i have that same talent! haha. i must say he was the artist who sort of re-introduced r&b to my jive back when i occupied myself with listening to emo music. "because of you" was the song which made me appreciate the soul there was in this genre. anyway, lemme take you first a couple of years ago. heard about him sometime in 2005. college housemate jane was so into "so sick" that she kinda made the whole house listen to it. i thought it was a good song - nice jive, but just ok. for me, it was merely one of those songs played on the radio - nothing extraordinary. but when i heard " because of you" (someone i knew (arts) was playing it in his page), i was like "omg. this is superb! where the heck did he get this beat? and this saccharine humming (*huwoo) at the beginning and towards the end of the song?" this is a knock-out! lol. no other song sound as sweet, inviting, and uber danceable as it yet have this cute love song lyrics. it's actually a "guilty pleasure" to some people including me. haha. (i'm so strung out on you, can barely move, but i like it... and it's all BECAUSE OF YOU... *hums.) i have yet to ask people who wouldn't feel like dancing when the first beats of the song with ne-yo's "huwoo" humming starts playing. you know of someone? tell me.
