In a recent interview Ne-Yo made very blunt comments about entertainers who lip sync.
The question is: Who is Ne-Yo trying to read..?
Ne-Yo tells The Daily Telegraph,
"If you're an artist, your job is to learn how to entertain. As an artist, you need to learn to sing or dance, or sing and dance at the same time."
"That's your job. You can't be a mechanic, but let somebody else fix the car. Why would they bring it to you?"
"They'd just take it to the guy who's fixing it. The same thing is true about being an artist. If I want to hear what you sound like on the CD, I'll just listen to the CD."
"If you don't do sing so well, or dance so well, and you need a bunch of pyro, smoke and mirrors to cover up that fact, I have an issue, because I'll feel like I haven't got my money's worth."
