It looks like the Ne-Yo-phytes love Mario. It makes sense. Ne-Yo and Mario have a long history of working together. Before he was a performer, Ne-Yo was a prolific songwriter. His fist hit song was Mario's "Let Me Love You." The track was a fan favorite and received both Teen Choice Award and Vibe Awards nominations.
