Well, that’s true. But the source is from those who control the industry. They choose the artists for only one reason, and it’s not because of talent. It’s for only promoting content that will create an immorally bankrupt society.

What kind of music do you guys listen to? Maybe I’ll be able to recommend you some newer artist in that vein. Great albums are released every year, you just need to dig a little beyond the surface
He’s honestly right. It’s such a struggle for me to relate to current music, which is why I always go back to old, soulful classics. Now that music is timeless.

He speaks about how he spent years to learn how to sing on key as if it doesn’t matter anymore, but I still think people are amazed by talent in both singing and instrumentation - it’s something you cannot learn over night

He sounds like an old-head elitist. People were paying their way to be noticed in the industry even then. It’s always been about popularity and abusing those less fortunate. J. Lo was not a talented singer. TLC was taken advantage of. You were lucky if you had a long prosperous career. He sounds like he’s unhappy his popularity/talent card got declined. It happens to everyone at some point. He could be fostering the next group of talented musicians. But he’s really only concerned about himself. That’s not new to people in the industry either.
Art and music come in different forms. Just because you don't appreciate how it's evolving or what someone else is doing doesn't mean it's wrong. You can be proud of your work without whining about what other people are doing. From Dionne Warwick to Charli XCX there's beautiful music to be found everywhere.
The listening experience has changed. I remember listening to my favorite albums for months on end, years even, on my MP3 player, soaking in the meaning and the vibe of high quality studio albums that never aged. Back then, when music listening was more intentional, the albums you purchased were special, and you could appreciate them endlessly. These days, everyone's a musician, and the excitement tends to be short-lived.
This is what makes artist strive to produce quality music. It is the expectation of hearing true talent that causes a singer to do their best. This is why a lot of artists are going back to “organic music projects. As singer myself, I loved working on music with friends in the basement after school❤
Im a student of music, singing and songwriting for over 40 yrs, never joined the " elite" club but im a fan of his cause he is a true Artist, songwriter and performer ❤

Neyo ...my mother loved your music . She passed away from covid and every time I hear your music it reminds me of my mom having so much fun listening to you so thank you for those beautiful memories Thank You Ne-Yo❤
There are so many artists who belong in the club but dont have the resources/network/capital/industry backing to get in. Or even be heard for that matter. Market is oversaturated and the masses are amused by very little anymore. There are few truly GREAT artists in the current music landscape.
Facts! Hip hop and rap used to be great in the sense that it had meaningful lyrics and easy to understand. Now a days it’s all gibberish and they rely heavily on beats alone.
YOU HAD TO HAVE TALENT, Now Everybody Can Get Famous! Talent Was Required, You Had To Have The Look And Talent. Now It’s Just Have The Look. He’s So Right, And The Real Artist Are Fighting To Be Seen.
Thats like those african artists Tyla vs Tems. Tems seeve QUALITY music and it doesn't sound the same while Tyla gets pushed because shes lightskinned and all her music sounds the same
He said nothin wrong here💯💯 it's still 50s, 60s, 70, 80s, 90s, and early 2000s at my house. Those Artists actually worked very hard with their talents💯👍🏽
Ditto. Last physical album I bought was Yellowcard Lights and Sounds. But even then, I'd been making MP3 CDs from downloads for about 3 years. Using Ares. So then I moved to USB MP3 player by Creative and I never bought music again until I started paying for premium Spotify in 2017

You're so right!!!
Music really is nothing anymore. I'm a 70s baby ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Super Facts! And that intuned lowered the value of music....and lowered the money coming in. FR
Ive been saying for the past few months...bring back Gatekeeping in this industry. Its very much needed. I know it sounds crazy, but its true.
That's why so many of us/ppl myself including love old school music period
💯💯💯💯 I feel you Neyo, what I've been saying for the longest time. Respect to the real ones with the real gift and talent💯👊👊🙌🙌❤
He’s so right. I couldn’t agree more 💯 percent
He cheats 😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅
Facts. Now it's more about how you look, and if you can sing that's a bonus.
I listen to Neyo, wen i need my soul to come alive. His voice shows h8s personality.
Neyo ...my mother loved your music . She passed away from covid and every time I hear your music it reminds me of my mom having so much fun listening to you so thank you for those beautiful memories Thank You Ne-Yo❤
I trulyyyy miss the days of real music and talent…I miss the days of multi talent artist like Neyo ❤
There are so many artists who belong in the club but dont have the resources/network/capital/industry backing to get in. Or even be heard for that matter. Market is oversaturated and the masses are amused by very little anymore. There are few truly GREAT artists in the current music landscape.
Music is the greatest for our souls and feed us every night ❣️
Facts! Hip hop and rap used to be great in the sense that it had meaningful lyrics and easy to understand. Now a days it’s all gibberish and they rely heavily on beats alone.
Facts
YOU HAD TO HAVE TALENT, Now Everybody Can Get Famous!
Talent Was Required, You Had To Have The Look And Talent. Now It’s Just Have The Look. He’s So Right, And The Real Artist Are Fighting To Be Seen.
Saddest ish ever! We've very sad to say past by the golden era of music!😔 Very very few today holdin it down.
Thats like those african artists Tyla vs Tems. Tems seeve QUALITY music and it doesn't sound the same while Tyla gets pushed because shes lightskinned and all her music sounds the same
I’m glad this man was a key part of my childhood. Kind of wish Libra Scales did actually have a movie made to go with it as originally planned.
ALL PRAISES DUE!!!
Well said my Brotha
May the CREATOR continue to watch over you
So true, but talent is talent....and Ne-Yo is the complete package.
Truth telling at its finest
This is my childhood hero, his songs were so cute and he was so cute, songs so catchy and sweet
Thank you Ne-yo for keeping it 💯
EXACTLY! Well said Ne-yo!!!🌟💪👍
He's absolutely right
He said nothin wrong here💯💯 it's still 50s, 60s, 70, 80s, 90s, and early 2000s at my house. Those Artists actually worked very hard with their talents💯👍🏽
I agree Artists like Neyo deserves a comeback in the industry 🔥
no he doesnt
Haven’t bought an album in about 20 years
Make sure u buy mine
20 years is a long time really? I was still buying albums in like 2009/2010. After that everything was online.
Ditto. Last physical album I bought was Yellowcard Lights and Sounds. But even then, I'd been making MP3 CDs from downloads for about 3 years. Using Ares. So then I moved to USB MP3 player by Creative and I never bought music again until I started paying for premium Spotify in 2017
Everybody forgot about the The dream
This is Ne-Yo
He used auto tune...
I went to one of Neyo's concerts last year.. he is amazing live as well.
I agree and he is really grown into a really nice looking man❤
