Ne Yo-Songwriter Genius


I thought it would be interesting to focus on Ne Yo the songwriter as opposed to Ne Yo the Grammy award winning artist. We are all familiar with his debut album In My Own Words and chart topping singles So Sick and Because Of You. But we don't know much about the man behind the scenes. Ne Yo has been credited for writing music for Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Britney Spears, Corbin Bleu, and Enrique Iglesias. In addition he intends on writing singles for upcoming albums from Usher, Craig David, Chris Brown, Jennifer Hudson, Leona Lewis, and Michael Jackson. Well let's take a look! Here's a list of songs "allegedly" ghostwritten by NeYo.
TQ’s “Westside"
Youngstown’s “Let’s Roll”
Youngstown’s “Don’t Worry”
Youngstown’s “Lose My Cool”
Youngstown’s “Pedal to the Steel”
Youngstown’s “Away With the Summer Days”
Youngstown’s “Dance Floor Pt. 2”
Youngstown’s “Down For The Get Down”
Youngstown’s “Float Away”
Youngstown’s “So Tight”
Marques Houston’s “That Girl”
Christina Milan’s “I’m Sorry”
Christina Milan’s “Y’all Ain’t Nothin”
Nivea’s “Still In Love”
Mis-teeq’s “Scandalous”
Samantha Mumba’s “Always Come Back To Your Love”
Rhianna’s “Just Be Happy"
Rhianna’s “The Hotness”
Cassidy’s “Kick It With Me"
Jaiden’s “Escape”
Jalen’s “All I Need”
Boxie’s “Bridging The Gap”
Candace Jones’ “You And Me”
Heather Headley’s “The Letter”
Ruben Studdard’s “Feel Beautiful"
Cassie’s “Kiss Me”
Joe’s “It’s On You”
Mario’s “Let Me Love You”
Paula DeAnda’s “Walk Away"
Paula DeAnda’s “So Cold"
Paula DeAnda’s “When It Was Me”
Chris Brown’s “Like That”
Snoop Dogg’s “Let Me” – vocals written by Ne-Yo
Mary J Blige’s “Be Without You”
Mario Vazquez’s “Gallery”
The Blay’s “My Story”
Rhianna’s “Let Me”
Rhianna’s “Unfaithful”
Rhianna’s “We Ride”
Beyonce’s “Irreplaceable”
Beyonce’s “Hollywood”
Marques Houston’s “Wonderful”
Elliot Yamin’s “Wait For You”
Joe’s “If I Was Your Man”
Musiq’s “Ms. Philadelphia”
Mario’s “If”
Mario’s “What’s It Gonna Be”
Rhianna’s “Don’t Stop The Music”

Geeeesh (Wiping my forehead) Does anyone write their own music anymore? Obviously Rhianna, Youngstown, and Paula DeAnda are just singing heads.I'm confused how another artist could write a entire album for someone else. Alas, the days of Smokey Robinson and Motown are long gone. :o(
