Ne-Yo: Beyonce is my Queen

NE-YO

 

The 32-year-old singer is a huge music fan and prides himself on keeping up with new sounds. There are many artists he is impressed by, among them the superstar songstress.

"I love Beyoncé's royalty factor - she'd be a kind of queen. The villagers would like her, not much mutiny would be going down," he mused to British magazine Heat.

Ne-Yo feels lucky to have worked with so many big names and to be able to call them his friends. He cites sharing the stage with Rihanna as a highlight and explained she is one person he knows he could call with a problem and get great advice. He has also recorded a track with booming songstress Céline Dion. "Beyond amazing," he said of the experience. "Her energy is incredible. She was so cool. I'd already painted a picture of who she was going to be before I met her, but she was the opposite of what I expected. [I'm] not saying I expected her to be a b***h, but I did expect a little diva-esque behaviour. There was none of that."

Having achieved so much already, Ne-Yo could be forgiven for wanting to spend some time relaxing. That's not in his make up though and he still has a lot of goals he wants to crack.
"Before I leave this plane of existence, I want to be able to say that I at least tried to write a song for an artist of every genre. So, the Ne-Yo death metal song will be coming soon," he laughed.
