Trey Songz hit the stage on BET’s ‘106 & Park’ today. The singer performed a medley of new songs including ‘Neighbours Know My Name’, ‘I Invented Sex’ and ‘Say Aah’ from his ‘Ready’ LP. Since it’s release on August 31st, 2009, ‘Ready’ has sold over 503k copies.
Songz delivered a very good performance. However, I find it rather baffling that people consider him to R&B’s current leading man. As a performer who primarily sings about sex, to compare him to the likes of R. Kelly or even Usher is quite laughable. He is yet to come close to the successes of those two, either commercially or musically.

im waiting for chris brown post not this dude…. didint he leave his g/f after making it big? mstzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz i hate users
OMG THAT MAN IS THE SEXIEST THING!…..him and CHRIS BROWN need to be my baby’s daddy
He needs to put Yo SIde Of The Bed video out NOW. it’s been awhile since it was shot 😐
THAT WAS CONSIDERED A “VERY GOOD” PERFORMANCE?!? ALL HE DID WAS WALK THE STAGE..IF EVEN THAT!! AND VOCALLY WEH NOT THE BEST…NO USHER I TELL YOU THAT.
But he is r&bs current leading man…because no one else is out putting out r&b hits like Trey is at the moment.
I think Trey Songz can sing, but like his idol r kelly, I’ve noticed all his songs are about s** and he’s turning inot more of a s** symnol thse days than a singer. I just which he would broaden his horizons and sing about other things.
I LOOOOOVVVVVVEEEE TREY SONGZ! I LOVE HIS STYLE AND HIS SWAG!!! HIS ALBUM WAS ONE OF THE BEST OF ’09 IMO!! ALTHOUGH IT WAS ALL ABOUT S**, IT WAS A REAL TRUE QUALITY R&B ALBUM! ALTHOUGH HE DOES NEED TO WORK ON HIS VOICE AND HIS PERFORMANCES ON TELEVISION CUZ THEY HAVE BEEN DRY LATELY. I THINK HE’S A BETTER PERFORMER WHEN HE’S IN HIS COMFORT ZONE CUZ HE PERFORMED @ MY COLLEGE’S HOMECOMING SOME YEARS BACK AND HE WAS AWESOME!!!!! THIS ALBUM WASN’T EVEN OUT AND HE DID SOOOOO GOOD. I DIED!!!!! SO I’LL REALLY SEE HOW MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE WHEN I SEE HIM ON TOUR WITH JAY-Z AND JEEZY ON FEBRUARY 25TH!
AND I THINK HE IS THE LEADING MAN OF R&B AT THE MOMENT ONLY BECAUSE THERE IS NO OTHER MALE ARTIST DOING ANYTHING SUCCESSFULLY AT THE MOMENT! I MEAN IF NOT HIM THEN WHO???? R.KELLY’S ALBUM WAS REALLY GOOD BUT IT FLOPPED LIKE CRAZY AND I THINK USHER’S ALBUM MAY NOT DO AS GOOD EITHER BUT WE’LL SEE. BUT WHAT OTHER MALE R&B ARTIST IS OUT AT THE MOMENT??? I’M A LITTLE CONFUSED ABOUT THAT TRENT! I DON’T SEE HOW IT IS LAUGHABLE TO COMPARE HIM WITH THEM CUZ IT’S ACTUALLY MORE DEBATABLE IF ANYTHING. *KANYE SHRUG*
I think Trey Songz is the it guy right. I think he is talented and he is finally getting the shine he deserves. Everybody talking about all he sings about is s**, but wasn’t no body checking for him when he first came out. He mixtapes and first album where talking about more than s** but wasn’t nobody listening. He wish him much success!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trey Songz is one of my favorite artist. But I do agree ppl can’t compare him to R. Kelly nor Usher. Hell even Tyrese who I think is one of the BEST male R&B vocalist. Yes I said TYRESE. And he does need to work on his vocal range. But over all this is my dude and hisi album is very good. I mean it eas up for a grammy so that that should tell you something
just for me, trey is more style over substance. he’s fine and suave and all that, but he’s not the greatest vocalist or songwriter. no shade intended, but his popularity is more for how he looks/his image than his actual talent.
But I do commend him on him selling that much. This has been his breakthrough album.
……Um, what do Usher and R. Kelly sing about then? Yes, Trey sings about s**, but if you listen to the rest of his material, that’s not always the case, just like the same can be said for R. Kelly and Usher. And please, let’s not act like he’s not incredibly talented and knows how to produce a hit.
Come off it. He is a good artist. Although I’m suprised he sold so little seeing as his album has been out for a year by the summer as he has so many female followers.
Haha lmao are u guys serious?!? U have to actually sing rnb not pop(chris brown)do you people not realize trey had two cds before ready and even ready isn’t entirely about s** i mean but then again what exactly would he be ready for
He’s incredibly talented, even if his songs are kind of juvenile. But he’s the man of the moment, essentially by default. With Chris Brown out of the picture, people need someone else to look to and Trey is there. It doesn’t hurt that he’s being much more commercially saavy this go ’round.
I enjoyed Trey on his first cd. He is now selling s** and people are confusing that with talent. However he is talented and can sing about other things than s** (refer: Just Got to Make It CD). compared his 1st cd album sells to this one. Nuf said!
Um, Chris Brown is most definitely NOT out of the picture, but I do like Trey Songz. I actually like his earlier albums better than this one though. I’m glad that he is finally getting the success that he deserves though, because he is talented.
Love Trey! He is a good singer and good performer.
Chris Brown is a great singer and great performer.
R. Kelly is not doing too much new or fresh. Usher is great, but It seems like his personal drama made him less appealing, and his kind of dated music. Chris Brown is the best in R&B right now, but he’s recovering from his unfortunate situation. That’s why Trey is the leading man. Trey deserves it!
Strong statement Trent.. who would you consider the next R.Kelly/Usher
I think it is Trey Songz.. because legends rarely starts at the top, they gradually go into success and he is very popular in the US. Chris Brown was young when he started which automatically dropped him out the category and he more dances.
Currently there are not really any successful R&B acts out at the moment with the exception of Maxwell, so that makes it easy for him. Performance wise, just ok, just Trey doing Trey and feeling himself as usual. But no, I’m not feeling his material this go round.
I meant to say successful male R&B acts in my first line. But anyway, once Usher returns this Spring, Trey will be knocked back to the bottom.
Trey has turned into an arrogant son of a gun
he used to sing about trying to make it and now he’s talking about how he invented s** and saying Ahhhhhhhhhhh
this isn’t the Trey I fell in love with..sorry
I didn’t even watch this performance, I’m sure it’s crap
him and Chris brown just suck b***…it’s time we gave real singers the spotlight like Maxwell Dangelo, rapheal saadiq, Jason mraz…
I’m tired of teeny boppers and musicians selling s** and crawwling I mean really I can only take but so much.. I think I’m gonna be an oldie from now on and listen to 60’s music
Has anyone who’s saying he only sings about s** listened to all of his music or just songs everybody else is blasting on the net and on radios? Why is his biggest songs about s**? Maybe others besides you want hear it. I’m just saying. Plus I doubt R. Kelly and Usher never put out s** songs such as S** in the Kitchen and Love In This Club.
The guy has talent and apparently enough of something that now so many people have something to say about him.
Usher’s time is over and R.Kelly’s time has BEEN over ever since his situation went down, Trey is probably the best right now, he’s been on his grind since ’04, ’05 and now he’e getting the recognition he deserves. He’s still got some growing to do, but i think the only place he can go is up
Hmm, interesting point Sam, I think the reason why he’s considered R&B’s front man is because he’s really the only guy singer doing R&B music nowadays & he’s getting the most attention as well. Though all of his songs do talk about s**, i think that if he’d change up some of his lyrics, he will definitley be in the same category as the likes of Usher & the OLD R. Kelly musically & comercially. IMO, he is sort of there, but not all the way, like i said his lyrics need to shift from s** to other subject matters.
i got trey’s last album and it was ok. some songs better than others. this album (ie, ready) is FIRE. every. single. song. every single song could be a single. while he doesn’t have enough hits or the creativity to be considered r. kelly and he’s no performer like usher or even c.b. and all of his are about s** & relationships – if he keeps this up, he is definitely the younger generation’s kellz from the riffs to the swag. i mean did anyone catch stevie wonder and trey at the bet honors. yep
Ok why do people keep saying all he sings about is s**??? Let’s name a few songz that arent about s**. Say Ahhh, Yo Side Of The Bed, I Need A Girl, One Love, Love Lost, Successful, lol:), Be Where You Are, Black Roses, Holla If You Need Me, Can’t Help But Wait, Fly Together, Missin You, All The Ifs, Set Of Wingz, Famous, It Would be You, Does She Know, & More Than That. I mean I can go on but thats more than enough to prove that s** isnt the only thing he can sing about. If I’m not mistaken s** (infidelity) is what REALLY got Mr. Usher where he is now. He wasn’t pushing any units like that UNTIL he told us about his Confessions. I do agree NO ONE will ever compare to Robert Kelly because he is in a music group all alone but who else is actualy singing R&B right now besides TREY??….. No body. That boy sleeps in the studio, he’s ALWAYS working. Its You can compare Chris Brown and Omarian and Usher with Trey because they’re all a different brand. Trey has no comparisons to the rest of those guys. Stop hating and accept the fact that he’s the Sh*&^ and he isnt just for the moment, he isnt going anywhere!!!
i love trey<333
i was there and it was amazing peace
this was nice
