Mr Ne-Yo isn't trying to be the new Michael Jackson, is he? Shameless lifts from Thriller's dance routines, Jackson's vocal style, dress-choice (even down to the hat) would suggest he is, but never mind. Then there's the bonus theft from The Matrix in the opening scene but what am I expecting? Originality?
The song itself is rather weak and silly, esp the lyric: 'She's a beautiful monster and I don't mind'. On the second listen I decided to while away the weary 4 mins 12 seconds by counting up the number of 'I don't mind's and came up with 51- that's one every 4.95 seconds on average or thereabouts. Sigh. I think I do mind.
At least there isn't a rap thrown in there- a rarity these days in chart singles. I will give it that.
