Is Ne-Yo Gay? "Forbidden Fruit" Leaked
PS heard about a song by Ne-Yo called Forbidden Fruit that was supposedly on his new album, Year of the Gentleman. i wondered how I would’ve missed hearing that song on the cd, especially since I’ve been boycotting the cd and finally listened to it for the first time the night before. The song was supposed to out him. I laughed about it because every time I see Ne-Yo, I always call him gay. If nothing else, he’s definitely in touch with his feminine side, a true metrosexual.
She played the song for me. Here it is on youtube.
Just in case you couldn’t make out the lyrics:
I fantisize because there’s nothing more,
From a distance, I do adore,
You are her property and she is yours,
Nothing I could do…But close my eyes and watch us dance,
Together,
Underneath the cherry moon,
Your another womans man,
In my mind
It’s only you and me
It drives me crazy
I just wanna stand up and screamTonight I will steal you away
(Oooooh ooooh)
All I want is just one taste (Oooooh)
All that I want to do
Forbidden fruitI got to get up quick,
Before she catch me starin at his lips,
They look like wine, I want to take a sip
Nothing I can do…But close my eyes and watch us dance,
Together,
Underneath the cherry moon,
Your another womans man,
In my mind
It’s only you and me
It drives me crazy
I just wanna stand up and screamTonight I will steal you away
(Oooooh ooooh)
All I want is just one taste (Oooooh)
All that I wanna doIt’s something I should’nt
Ooh, the room is startin to spin
Gimme your hand, forget your girl
Let’s go somewhere and commit a sinTonight I will steal you away
(Oooooh ooooh)
All I want is just one taste
(Oooooh ooooh)
Now, as gay as I think Ne-Yo is, I didn’t really think it sounded like his voice. That is not the same Ne-Yo I hear on his cd or when I suffer through one of his live performances. The voice sounded as if the person wasn’t really trying to sing. Nothing like what a famous performer would produce to be heard by the public.
I did like I always do when things confuse me. I googled. I started to notice that Shakira’s name came up a lot in association with this song, but you noticed her voice isn’t present. My first thought was that maybe it was meant to be a duet and that was Shakira’s part. He sang it to her so she could hear his vision and then they decided not to do the song. PS didn’t agree. We went back and forth for a little bit. Logically, it doesn’t make sense for Ne-Yo to make a song outting himself without making some kind of formal announcement. PS’s logic was that the song is so underground, he didn’t really out himself.
I kept digging and came upon a forum that was discussing this song. One person reminded us that Ne-Yo is a songwriter. Duh! It’s amazing how we forget that a lot of these new singers originally started behind the scenes. The story is this: Ne-Yo originally wrote the song for Shakira. He performed the song so it could be shopped around. Shakira heard the song and decided not to move forward with it. End of story. Makes sense, right?
Anyways, I’m not a Ne-Yo fan, but his new cd is actually good. It’s very grown and mature. It’s worth at least one listen. For the record, it hurt to say that…Ugh…
It’s too bad he isn’t actually singing to a man. It would make it so much better. I’m just saying.
I completely agree…
Interesting. Hmmm. Wonder. Even that explanation doesn’t say anything too definitively.
Yeah, I think that song would qualify as pretty fuckin’ gay.
Hey I just saw this. The song was written for Beyonce Knowles.’ upcoming album. Whether the song made the album or not, don’t know yet.
LISTEN HERE EVERYONE NE-YO IS NOT GAY !!! YALL ARE JUST A BUNCH OF HATERS WHO HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO THEN TO TRY AND BRING SOME ONE DOWN!!! AND IF HE WAS GAY WHO CARES I WILL ALWAYS BE HIS BIGGEST FAN SO ITS ALL GOOD AND I STILL THINK HE IS SEXY !!

I’m sorry, Ne-yo gives off more Gay vibes than Jack from Will and Grace!
