"Since Michael Jackson&amp;#039;s death last year, pretenders have been quick to stake their claim to the late King of Pop&amp;#039;s throne. The likes of Usher, Kanye and even Heidi Montag (!) have compared their efforts to Jackson&amp;#039;s greatest work. However, while that motley crew come off all mouth and no trousers so far, Ne-Yo is actually attempting to put words into action on this trailer for his new album. Question is, can he pull it off? Well, he certainly deserves a pat on the back for trying. If crooning about a lady with a taste for human flesh isn&amp;#039;t Wacko Jacko enough for you, just wait &amp;#039;til you see the accompanying music video. Unfortunately the track itself falls some way short of vintage MJ, let down by a slightly lacklustre chorus that recalls a number of cuts from his 2008 album, Year Of The Gentlemen. The result is a humdrum but catchy enough trance/R&amp;amp;B ditty that will certainly sate existing fans. And for the rest of us? Well, it ain&amp;#039;t no &amp;#039;Thriller&amp;#039;.  &amp;gt; Click here to watch the &amp;#039;Beautiful Monster&amp;#039; video "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
