Grammy Award-winner Ne-Yo not only has a great voice, songwriting abilities and footwork — he also knows how to dress. So it is fitting that he is the headline entertainment for Glamorama, Macy’s fall fashion season kick-off celebration. The R&B crooner was at the Taste of Chicago three days after performing in the tribute to Michael Jackson during the BET Awards in June. Both performances (he also re-mixed some of his hits with Jackson classics at the Taste show) were heart-wrenching and fabulous. Ne-Yo has found a way to make music that grown folks and young people can enjoy together. He can take what would be the standard pop song, put funk in the music, soul in the vocals and make a hit. So Glamorama attendees, usually a mix of both, are in for a treat. 8 p.m. Friday at The Chicago Theatre , 175 N. State St. $50 -$1,000 ; 800-982-2787, ticketmaster.com
