Now watch as he speaks to our friends over at ‘VIBE’ Magazine on the recording process of his debut album, and his admiration for a number of R&B’s leading players, including Rihanna‘s reported beau, Chris Brown.

LMAO. Trey Songz? Really?! Chris is mainstream. Trey is not. Chris has platinum albums, singles, sold out tours and a Grammy. Unfortunately, 2009′s events ruined his career but FAME still outsold Trey’s albums. Trey has not been carrying anything.

Chris isn’t a good role model though. It’s clear by his good manners and good looks that he stans for King Graham.

Chris Brown is a wondeful person who does GREAT THINGS FOR HIS COMMUNITY! I don’t follow the racist media’ bullsh** concening him! I see the truth. I leave the common bullsh** to the weak mnds who need to be lead aroud like the sheep that they are.

I’m sorry but that cover was just as average as the people he named as his inspirations.
There is nothing unique or different about his voice. The industry doesn’t need another Rihanna or Chris Brown, it needs talent.

Him and that Seven Streeter girl are the next big thing in urban music. With Trey getting old, Chris on his last string and Beiber on his 07 Britney Spears events, theres room for the new. Plus Chris was the last dude to really pop off, cause I don’t know where that Jason dude at and Rih was the last chic to pop off (in the urban world.) We need some fresh acts, 1) To get some new sounds. 2) To let these assholes know that they’re days are numbered.
