Ne-Yo: Tiny Desk Concert

[@joeschmoe5231]

Why are these Tiny desk concerts better than actual concerts?

[@Oxygen257]

Could be because these concerts are up close and personal. They are not designed to reach a massive amount of people in a huge place, so they don’t have the reverb from all the high volume speakers and other digital equipment and electronics needed for big concerts and from the loud sounds and sound vibrations of screaming fans in the mix of the sounds of the music. Just a guess.

[@B58-Premo]

I hope you are not older than 18 asking a ridiculous question like that..

[@leovell8554]

The reason why is because it's an intimate experience. You feel like you're a friend of the artist.

[@geraldmuhindi4266]

They are more intimate

[@Essentialresponse24]

The REAL REASON is because of the instruments. It’s any genre of music orchestrated to a small crowd. No echos. Just the artist and natural instruments.

Apparently 23 minutes is not enough. We need a whole concert of Ne-Yo (and band)!!

To all the people who were sent back in time because of this set. Most of you must be fathers and mothers right now, reminiscing about the time you were young and naive. Thank you NPR for making this happen. Only love. ♡

For sho, the nostalgia is real for my generation, I'm 42, with 5 blessings.

Ne-Yo is so humble. I love when he do back voice for the back girls... He put himself down so that others can shine.... God bless you a lot

[@williewakawhistle9058]

Everyone's background singers have become just as important as the artist and that's a good thing

[@Nyashamakayi]

Call Neyo what you want but the man literally carried R&B on his back in the 2000s and early 2010s. His songs are timeless and will definitely continue to stand the test of time 🕰️

[@azizahrosadi412]

Yaassssshh

Crazy thing is he's still carrying.. Man has written so many songs and continues writing for some for the biggest singers. Dude's a master.

[@skip031890]

R&B was good for many decades up until 2010. I've always said that things went downhill fast in the 2010s and then trash rap started becoming more mainstream and R&B essentially became obsolete.

He needs to give it to Usher or Chris to make it a hit hit. But definitely a great song.

​@@selenabuttsyes I definitely hear Usher on this. A duet would be fire
