Apparently Ne-Yo told a young woman that if she wants to share a stage with entertainers like Beyonce, she needs to shed some pounds. This remark has alot of people pissed off. I don’t think Ne-Yo was trying to be insensitive or hurt this young woman's feelings. He was being honest and that is what alot of people fail to do. It is possible that if she is talented that she could share a stage with entertainers like Beyonce but then she would end up like Kelly Price and join Jenny. As he put it, if she wanted to go the Jill Scott route she would be accepted for who she is. But in a world of Pop/R&B full of blond weaves, nose jobs, and butt pads she might want to look into fixing her look a bit.
It’s an inconvenient truth that looks matter in pop music (and in general). Could she record a song like Bootylicious"and still manage to get the same amount of love as Beyonce? Anything is possible, but it’s not likely. Ne-Yo is right: In pop music, most are shallow. It may offend some, but image is everything in this business, so if you want to get noticed, you may have to do what you don't believe in, and that's probably selling your soul to the devil. Like one of Ne-Yo singles says "I'll ask the song to shine away from you today so you can cry, if that's what you want alright."
