Grammy winner and sorta-local homeboy Ne-Yo got the crowd pumping at Body English inside the Hard Rock Hotel last night for the weekly Smashtime Saturdays party hosted by E!’s Sal Masakela, Ben Lyons and DJ Clinton Sparks.

Ne-Yo joined Sparks on stage along with DJ and producer Felli Fel of Los Angeles radio station Power 106. Sparks started rocking Felli Fel-produced tracks such as “Buck in Here” and “Finer Things,” the latter of which features Ne-Yo and Kanye West, at which point Ne-Yo grabbed the mic and started singing. After Sparks hyped the crowd with more music from Ne-Yo, Felli Fel took over the ones and twos, spinning the hot tracks his L.A. audiences are used to hearing.

Also spotted in the capacity crowd was actor and Las Vegas native Thomas Ian Nicholas (American Pie), who just released his debut album, Without Warning. Does anyone just focus on one form of performance anymore?
