//Blog Bits: Grammy Nominations Make Ne-Yo Feel Appreciated//

While promoting his third album entitled Year of the Gentleman, R&B’s leading singer/songwriter Ne-Yo complained that he felt he was unappreciated as an artist. But he’s feeling the love now after being nominated for a whopping six Grammys. He took to his blog to express his happiness:

Ladies n’ gentleman.

This is Ne*Yo, felling good, better than normal.

Well not that I ever feel bad.

I’ve mentioned a few times that tho I appreciate all the recognition that I DO get, I don’t feel that I get the recognition that I feel I deserve, mainly because I’m not the dude you’ll see with a bunch of different celebrity chics or I’m not on any drugs, or I don’t get arrested every 3 days or whatever.

The fact that I’m a fully functional normal human being, makes me, in the eyes of the media “boring”. Which is cool I guess, I mean, I’m not about to sell my soul so that I can get my face on the cover of a magazine. Sucks that my music isn’t enough to hold the attention of the masses, according to the media.

Well, I have to eat my words as of late.

Just found out that I received 6 (count em’) 6 grammy nominations!!!!!!!

Needless to say, I don’t feel very under appreciated

Anymore.

I guess it’s about just being patient and letting things happen when they’re suppossed to.

I view it like this, people don’t pay me that attention because they know that imma be here. I’m here for the long haul, so they say, aaawww, Ne*Yo ain’t goin’ nowhere. We’ll check on him later. And you know what? I’m cool wit that.

In the meantime I’ll just keep doin’ what I do, making classic music, murdering any stage I touch, keeping my suit sharp, and my hat cocked to the side.

Thanx for the luv y’all. See you on the road.
