The level of respect and admiration MJ gets in artistic circles is beyond words. ♥️

[@ANITACHEONG-em8mt]

❤

[@danimalwonderpants2123]

I would love to see Neyo, Pharrell, Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, and Usher all in a room sharing their MJ stories! It would be epic

[@itsjustnaima]

And Will.I.Am! 🥹

[@jmsg_PR]

OHHHH NOW THAT WOULD BE EPIC!

[@marialalasmith9562]

Yeees, someone needs to make this happen.

[@starr4490]

Then Chris Tucker comes in and Usher reminds him that he's still kicking with the wrong leg😂

[@user-ks8kn4hx8q]

How about those five on a song together? That would be a classic 😲🔥

[@herbertcampbell1008]

Micheal Jackson probably got hung up on more times than any one else in music.

[@leeleethelibra981]

🤣🤣🤣

Too many stories where folks hung up on him

I answer the phone in michael jackson voice wen i dont recognize the number.

Man that’s what I been sayin 😂😂😂😂

[@marymoore5776]

Neyo has such respect for Michael. Thank you Neyo.

[@Uptownv]

I love these Michael Jackson stories. He literally had the power to get anyone’s personal cell phone and he would call himself 😂 Just like when he called Paul McCarthy 🤣 he was so funny lol

[@Swagprince987]

Michael is fucking legend

[@melanindollface3666]

I love to hear peoples tell their stories of when they met Michael I swear everyone's response is the same, the influence that he had and still has on people is freaking insane 🤗. Michael will always and forever be the GOAT and no one will ever compare💪🏾💖. I miss you you like crazy Michael and I love you MOST 😌❤💋🌻!!!

[@angelmartin7310]

Everyone thinks he was taller than he was too, that is how he towered over others in energy and spirit

[@Jmarsbeats]

Especially in live performance, from 9yrs old to his mid 30s. Nobody can sing and dance, like Michael Jackson.

[@marialalasmith9562]

People don’t talk enough about his dancing in his late 30s. Have they seen ghost? Shit was amazing. He was doing all kind of crazy ish.

[@paidinfulltv]

Michael Jackson👑👑👑👑

[@darlenbeautiful1664]

Neyo’s impression of Michael Jackson is spot on. Take what you two selected to produce together for Him and do your impression of him yourself on each and every one of them shytes. He asked you to produce with, for, too and about it dude. 😊 Figured love ya.

[@mnc7507]

Yk damn well it aint spot on 😂dick eating

[@MD-xh1bj]

Shame it never materialised. Would have been an awesome project. Love Ne-yo, but I love him even more for telling straight facts about MJ. MJ is unmatched even until now. No one can beat MJ.

[@TomJay-uv9yi]

I think ne-yo should record the song because r Kelly wrote Michael a whole album, when he passed r Kelly sung the song on his album, check out "you are my world"

[@IELTSInsights]

4:50 “MJ is the only dude that can bitch me out like that” 😆

[@wambajaweaver4202]

The fact that NORE could say that Michael wanted to work with him is legendary. But the fact that Michael wanted to work with Lil Kim is iconic, that due would've came with a hot song.

[@angelmartin7310]

Lol, I'm glad he didn't work with a lot of the people he wanted to. It was below him. He was just so sweet and humble he didn't feel above others like that.

[@lin1982.]

I love Neyo’s songs and I have so much more respect for him now that he has so much respect and love for MJ and not use him to make money. Thank you Neyo for doing the right thing ❤

[@Dixi.normus]

neyo is a legend. nobody hears these 2 words sexy love and not think of neyo . even if you dont know what follows love, you know the song

[@sipnog3528]

Oh woow. And today Ne-Yo is one of the few that are not afraid to defend MJ publicly👏👏. I'm glad he met him before his passing. It must have been paiful for him though but greatful he met him

[@dsales2011]

Man I was the ultimate Michael Jackson fan. I had all kinds of stuff. I still remember as a kid I had the vintage 80s yellow sweater and white pants poster on the wall. I even wanted the curl that came down on his forehead. Mike was a god to me. He was the ultimate entertainer. He studied everything. He knew talent and music. The fact that he started singing Neyos music had to feel awesome. 🎶 👌

[@monaeblackeaglequeen8974]

Hes the greatest Entertainer of all time

[@adam-hp6qt]

Kanye and Neyo actually met Michael at the same time in that house.

[@fairy5728]

So many , I mean SO many artist that are millennials that we (gen z) grew up with , speak so highly of Micheal 💗💗. This is what Micheal meant by the “next generation” has to believe in the hope

[@leandrasolomon5009]

This is a heart warming interview now I gotta go listen to super thug to try to get a glimpse of the what could have happened. Ne-yo is a great Song Writer and Artist.

[@starr4490]

It's always epic when all these artists couldn't believe it was the real deal who called them and just hang up on MJ. I love Ne-Yo and his songs. I also love the level of respect he has for MJ and how he also never made use or took advantage of the music they created together. Instead just kept it hidden as a form of respect and love. Real artist respect to another artist.

[@aldaruler8537]

Mike approved!.. got to walk around like a king! 💯 ..N.o.r.e. 💪🏽

[@nelumsooriampola]

This is a bittersweet and amazing story, thank you Ne-Yo 🙏 for sharing and talking from your heart, its an honor to got to know Michael Jackson let alone get his admiration for your music ❤🙏👑🤟🦋🌻

[@lkm347]

I love your comment dear friend. They must have had so much fun making music together! I can only imagine 🙏🏼God bless them.

[@nelumsooriampola]

​@lkm347 yes my dear friend, this is so amazing to hear, Michael loved, respected and admired the music of other artists current and past, its so sweet he even started singing Ne-Yo 's song ❤🙏👑🤟🦋🌻

[@jwilliamcosby]

MJ s 5' 9". Ne-Yo is around 5' 7". I've met Ne-Yo. Almost everybody is 6' to Ne-Yo. 😂🤣😂

[@Superthedarkskingod]

Interesting thing is, this isn't the first time I've heard Mike being 6'2. First time was by Boo Kapone

The whole Nyc loves neo 💯💪🏽

[@stalinzambrana5755]

Man bet them sings would have been amazing… at that time Ne-Yo was so prolific with his writing and having MJ’s input would have made the songs even greater… MJ was so right about dancing now days… looks more like acrobatics, jumping and flipping around…love Chris Brown, incredible artist and dancer… but when an MJ songs comes on you can’t help but to try to mimic some dance move he did… we always know when someone is doing an MJ move… Neither Chris Brown or even Usher have any moves the whole would know that’s their signature move… CB is always doing dance moves everyone else is doing at that moment…wish he created the moves… he has the talent to do so

[@ILLumunixes]

We definitely missed out on one more album from MJ in the mid to late 2000s (2005-2008) NeYo, Pharrell, Will I AM definitely would’ve had some big hits with him.

An MJ tribute album would be great

These Michael Jackson’s conversations😳

[@johnnellterrelllyric8166]

MJ was 5’9 😂😂😂

[@jeremylawson6648]

i googled it too.

[@danimalwonderpants2123]

Maybe he’s 5’11 in boots and he was thin but toned with a larger than life persona. People always act like he was tall as shit and I think that could be where the disparity comes in 😂😂😂 he just SEEMS tall

[@oemisc2880]

@@danimalwonderpants2123 MJ’s costume designer said he was 5’10, but he always looked tall to me on stage. Jermaine is like 6’1. On stage, MJ didn’t look shorter than him much & he usually wore flats when performing. Probably because MJ was just so well proportioned (hence clothes looked great on him) that he seemed taller than he really was

[@slevin6544]

Neyo is just short, short people tend to misjudge height lol Michael Jackson looked 5ft10 MAX

[@AaronLesterMedia]

Michael: It's Michael... Neyo: Michael who? Michael: Michael from Good Times fool...

🙏🏿 KING OF POP

Great story ❤

[@codychavarria6088]

We love to hear some of the music they were working on Complete. I know it wouldn't be the same without his blessing but damn I know he was working with some great producers out there with great ideas about to switch up the game again. Anyhow great interview as always

MJ was 5'9

I’d believe if Michael was 6’2 as well if I was lookin at a god 😂😂

ne yo is lying micheal jackson is not 6,2 he 5,9

Maybe if Jaafar Jackson could do his MJ voice for Ne-Yo's MJ tracks.

Tough Spot......but I do wanna hear them, can't front 🙏🏿

You could give it to Jafaar Jackson for the movie

Appreciate Ne Yo for ignoring Nore comment👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@zaymoney252]

Stg he always tryna cut somebody off

[@TomJay-uv9yi]

R Kelly had a whole album for Michael Jackson check out "you are my world"

[@Aliciaaa87]

Nah he shouldn't give them to Chris Brown or anyone like that. That's just giving them to another random artist (although I'm sure Chris or Bruno would kill it but he wrote them for MJ and it would be sad to see just anyone do them, for that matter he could do it himself) I'm thinking MAYBE Janet or one of their nephews. Tj is really good. OR this just popped into my head but what about Myles Frost who plays him in the Musical. It can be done as like a tribute to him and it's not like just giving them to another artist. He won a whole Tony award for his portrayal and he is really amazing as Michael. Ps...wasn't Michael like 5'9? Lol

[@miltonscott1322]

Diddy is the best mogul out here

[@godson8417]

Michael Jackson was 5’9 😂

But his heels was FOREVER😜

[@nilsnoot6778]

Came here to say this

[@MoonGoddessTV]

It’s the alcohol talking fam 🤣🤣

[@xcx3572]

He was 5ft 10

[@suadelegend5443]

He probably lied because he preferred to be shorter like peter pan lol. The guy probably was 6ft

[@caribana2008]

Don’t feel bad, Teddy Riley hung up on Michael too!!! He thought someone was joking

[@LeLouvre634]

And Eddie Van Hallen and John Landis. Click ! Specially when he called in the middle of the night for he was insomniac..😹

[@talon3684]

MJ was 5'9" - what the heck is Ne-Yo talking about the man was 6'2" and easily 6 ft tall? SMH

[@iBryanDBrown]

Good story. MJ was definitely 5'9 though.

[@mr.allfacts9489]

N.O.R.E. always interrupts serious stories. With corny jokes that no one laughs at. So obnoxious.

[@zaymoney252]

Stg I genuinely hate his interviews he has the best guest but talks over all of them

[@Ryan07_20]

no way NORE heard Ne-Yo say how special his songs he wrote for MJ were, so much that he locked them away for no other artist to perform, and recommended Chris brown of all people to do it. Not even Janet???😅

[@omarjr8647]

Give ‘em to The Weeknd he’ll know what to do with them

[@VeraciousMind]

Nah

[@bettymillz3178]

MJ was not 6’2 😭 Neyo is just short af. Anyway, if you’re ever been to a Neyo show you would know that it’s very MJ inspired. He really studied his craft! Very clean and sharp.

[@TMEntTV]

Mic is 5'9...Just want to put that out there

[@rockboy360]

Release them with A.I. put his voice on it.
