While Kelly Rowland‘s name may still be on many a lip after her show-stopping BET Awards performance, Trey Songz has the honor of having had more than just her name on his. Most recently the ‘Love Faces’ crooner was one of the many R&B stars on the billing for this past weekend’s Essence Music Festival in New Orleans.
In a set that featured some of Trigga’s biggest hits (‘I Invented Sex’, ‘Bottom’s Up’, and the like), the singer also performed his verse on Rowland’s ‘Motivation’ remix.
See Mr. Steal Your Girl in action after the jump:
As usual, Trey Songz moved the crowd with his haunted house vocals. No word if the crowd was motivated to assist the reported increase of earplug purchases in New Orleans over the weekend.
TERRIBLE!!!! im wondering why ladies love this shyt.. probably because they think he looks good.. but u guys are just messing music up making him think hes a superstar….
He sounded like s***!
lmao @sam’s shade
HE IS ACTUALLY *VERY* HOT!!! BUT HIS VOCALS ARE EXTREMELY HORRIFYING @ TIMES!!!
DAMN…….
AND THAT WAVERING FALSETTO ON THE MOTIVATION REMIX???????

OH SNAP!!!
He was movin them out toward the door aye?
He just messed up this performance. Wow….R Kelly Wanna be. But I love this song with Kelly Rowland.
Ladies love this dude. Why? I dunno. I like the studio version better. They bett a hurry and release that joint
Songz is always bad vocally but here…….smh. This is what is wrong with the industry.
I never liked his voice, it sounds so shaky and unstable, that why his runs sound terrible. Well, my point is…..i always used to say his voice sounded shaky but now thanks to thatgrapejuice (kudos to you sam) for hitting the nail on the head with the ‘haunted house vocals’ comment. it’s the perfect description for his voice, i swear!!!
@Motivated….i thought it was just me!….i just have never been feeling this dude…..and still not
S** Sells i guess, back in the 90’s S*** + Classy = Sexiness Personified, it was HOTT… but nowadays too many artists are just acting like H*** all up on the stage and the mystery is not there…
Trey Songz is acting like he wants R.KELLY to adopt him
why?
Trye is a hottie, BUT he just messed this song up LORD A HOT MESS!!!
I somewhat like some Trey’s new music. His earlier stuff had much substance to it. He tries too hard now…omg
DEAD at this R. Kelly wanna-be/goat yelping TRASH!
this n**** is wack as hell, n**** cant sing worth s*** and you h*** just wanna screw him, he good looking, but he doesnt have any vocal range, nothing just terrible!
he sucks
Y everyone dissing Trey??? Kelly R. is the female version of him…. they have similar vocals. I think he did good. He’s no R. Kelly but he’s a good artist.
i like some of his songs, but i dont know he could have done better
Kelly Should Have Been There.. Crowd Would Have Went Craaaazy!! #ThatIsAll!!
WTF was going on @ 0.50sec? His singing makes me giggle because he is so serious about it but always sounds like a sheep. His super fast vibrato really should have been corrected early on but it wasn’t. Its VERY pronounced! I love that he seems to stay on his grind but he needs to slow that vibrato down and recognize hitting falsetto notes doesn’t mean you can really ” sing”.
But he is a cutie so fans don’t care about anything I just wrote. At all.
He’s a good looking guy, but he needs to find his voice. It’s all over the place. He should stick to singing low. When he tries to go high I cringe.
Uhm, I think Trey Songz has potential. There’s a nice voice in there somewhere. He just needs to keep it simple. Stop trying so hard. Also, hire a vocal coach like yesterday.
Trey just needs to model and keep it moving,the fact that this dude tried to come at Kells is beyond crazy.BTW Trey is so not s*** and he sounded like hot s*** on a platter.
he doesnt play up his s** appeal half as much as usher did back in the day, diff is usher is a better singer plus usher was quite young so he came off really adorable
Please stop hyping up that Kelly Rowland performance. It was beyond average.
is bow wow gay??? go to http://kelsnetwork.b*******.com/ to find out for yourself
P.s THE KELLY PERFORMANCE WAS THE EFFIN S***…… THE CHIC BROUGHT THE WHOLE HOUSE DOWN
I was there and he actually sounds good live.
I will agree he does try too hard at times when he sings but he is a good singer.
