    oversexed yes?? but I wouldn’t call him a vocalist lol..

  2. Dilla April 25, 2010

    Tray really tries his best to look manly but he looks rather zesty on that pic. He sounds good though.

  3. jonstrax April 25, 2010

  4. meanduwithkey@me.com April 25, 2010

    i was going to watch it, but when i look at his face on interview pic, it kinda turned me down. i dont know why… maxwell do me better.

  5. Stoney-Brie April 25, 2010

    his voice is so annoying.. sounds like a mosquito with a***… some artist should never do unplugged sessions..! it really scars hearing him sing..!

  6. cafflo April 25, 2010

    LMAO @Dilla for calling him zesty. Trey girl you just can’t escape the gay rumors honey!

  7. Gary April 25, 2010

    It was actualy good ! When that girl went on stage that was SOOO Funny , you can see that she was realy enjoying it HAHAHAHA
    His vocals are real good on slow songs , i don’t like when he sings fast ones , it just doesn’t fit his voice , and truly HATE the fact that he’s always talking about s** on each of his songs , it’s so iritating … But he is good on stage ( When he doesn’t do this move with his head LOL )

  8. PLAIN AND SIMPLE April 25, 2010

    Another one of Jay-Z’s people. This guy was ok, but he not a vocalist or a performer.

  9. Topman April 25, 2010

    What the hell was that?! And who gave him permission to sing songs like A Change Is Gonna Come and Use Somebody?! *sigh*

  10. CH3RRy April 25, 2010

    S***!!

  11. The Couture Kid April 25, 2010

    Great Job. Good to see new black artist paying respect to the other great black music icons. I enjoyed the Kings of Leon Piece, shows that he has a broad sense of musical sensibilities. How clever was going from Invented S** to Lets get It On back to Invented S**!!

    I’m wondering if the people that call Trey gay are gay yourselves………I say this because there is nothing about Trey that screams gay nor has he said any such thing. Why would anyone make such an ignorant assumption UNLESS you’re gay or UNLESS you are a woman so hideous in the looks,that you make claims that he or any good looking man is gay because you feel he wouldn’t give you the time of day………..

  14. X,Y,”and Z” April 25, 2010

    @Trent — K, I’ll NOT make comment till AFTER I watch the videos; that’s fair, no? …I think so…….Brb!

    He sings ok chris brown would have killed it though

    mmmh at stephanie

  17. Ben April 25, 2010

    MTV rarely brings back Unplugged, they supposedly canceled it a few years back. At least if they are going to bring it back momentarily, they should give it to a worthy performer.

  18. geronimo April 25, 2010

    I dont think he is gay though…. maybe people are saying that coz of the way he sings, he is a fine looking man.

  19. geronimo April 25, 2010

    I also think chris bronw spoiled me…… he does things on stage unlike trey, justine b, etc i will keep praying for chris, im sure he wont mess up again.

  20. Inspire, achieve and motivate with ambura! April 25, 2010

    It’s sad when someone so talented resorts to s**, but women have been doing it for so long that it was only a matter of time before the men jumped on board. He’s a handsome young man, so why not show that off? Taking his top off doesn’t compare to the female ‘singers’ who parade around in thongs, bras, and bend over for all to see.

  21. geronimo April 25, 2010

    *waving from california*

  24. Fatima April 25, 2010

    He has a lot of nerve sandwiching A Change Is Gonna Come between Say Ahh and I Invented S**.

  25. nyakz April 25, 2010

    I think this dude can sing hands down…no problem…he better than most signed singers and he makes good music..but music is just about vocals, its about everything, vocals instruments lyrics…when his vocals, instruments and lyrics = magic….so yea he might not be no beyonce, or boyz2men…but he does the damn thing…..he proved he can sing well!!hes come a long way from just gotta make it to ready!!he can sing, and this was a good live session…a very good one..he stayed in key(hit his notes well), one or 2 flat notes(he is human) nothing drastic….what more do u need to make u a good singer??

  26. g3 April 25, 2010

    yea i dont think hes gay i think its alot of dudes that want him to be gay cuz they want him or women that dont stand a chance of getting him say hes suspect lol buh he is mighty delicious

  27. Jhaye Star April 25, 2010

    Who cares if he is gay or not?????? He does seem to try a little hard to come off masculine, but maybe thats just bcuz he kinda sounds like Justin an everybody knws he’s gay lolz

    Chris B has a similar sounds but for some reason he seems real not trying to be all masc and shyt

  28. X,Y,”and Z” April 25, 2010

    …’Sounds just-like R.Kelly; no-wonder he goes-in-on Kelly! The comparisons ARE valid, factual and inevitable!
    His song selection was VERY good! But “Let’s get it on” shouldn’t be in HIS repertoire, at least, not-the-more “vocally demanding” parts of the song!

    It’s interesting….that “Sam Cooke moment.” …It was poignant, introspective, if not melancholy. But THAT was a intimate club-like-setting; not a large-venue-concert setting/stage. I don’t think that’ll do/go-over as-well, on a large stage, one you’d see in/at a concert while an artist is on tour!!
    We all saw Trey during that HORRID ’09-BET Award MJ/Tribute, when HE was on stage with Usher and Tyrese: he was “FLAT!” You’d have thought he’d do something, or we’d see something, that’d have made him “memorable”; there was NO Chris Brown: THAT was HIS-chance to shine – HE DIDN’T!!

    This dude isn’t “big-stage ready!” Maybe on a small stage, when he can sing ’bout stuff, other than s**, and telling us what we ALREADY know: Barack being at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave is historic; WE KNOW!!! …Some-of-us WAS ‘out-there’: handing out literature; getting spat upon; getting doors slammed in our face; getting shouted-at/shouted-down;engaging in conversation/discourse and feeling the “stings of condescension!”

    Some-of-us, might even take umbrage: your mentioning you going to see the President, when Jay Z’s attack of/on Chris Brown, which was orchestrated with the SOLE-INTENT of casting-doubt and throwing dirt on that very-said “Historic-Occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania ave,” by “Fringe-element; near-fascist; Goldwater-esque” Harvey Levin of TMZ!
    What a fool YOU ARE for even mentioning it, Trey!
    …Trey, Harvey Levin used you AND Jay Z to attack Barrack, by his attempted character-assassination of Chris Brown.

    Do you REALLY think Harvey Levin cares ANY ’bout Rihanna and/or Domestic Violence? Trey, go back and read the comments the mainstream had post ’bout Jay Z, the “X-drug dealer and 40 y/o rapper!” They were, brutal in their efficiency, and DID make-mention HIS “drug dealing past,” and questioned Barack’s judgment in having “X-drug dealer, 40 y/o rappers being consort” with the President of the United States; and “finding refuge” in/at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave! <—NOT MY WORDS!

    Trey, do YOURSELF a favor, don't-ever make-mention of that photo-op again! …When THIS history is read: Rihanna, Jay Z, Oprah and Tyra will be seen as, fools-and-pawns, in a game." a game that was Orchestrated, masterfully-played by Harvey Levin and those of the "far-right," whose one-and-only concern, was to dismantle and derail "CHANGE!"

  29. Ghetto Fab April 25, 2010

    I like the man’s songs but I am not a fan of his live performances. I just find them lacking. He’s got to work on that stage presence. And should definatley work with a choreographer. Not for dance moves. But he could benefit from using one to tell him where to stand and the appropriate way to move his body.

    To the person who referred to him as one of “Jay-Z’s people” I would say that’s about right. Look what Jay did for B.

  30. Aunt Jackie April 25, 2010

    He’s an okay singer……pretty limited range though.

  31. geronimo April 25, 2010

    @ ghetto

    true… he needs to move a bit

  32. Blasian April 25, 2010

    @Ghetto Fab

    What do you mean what Jay did for Beyonce. If anything Beyonce made Jay a bigger star.
    In Other places outside the U.S they know him as Beyonce husband aka Mr. Beyonce.

    Beyonce is a WAY BIGGER STAR THAN JAY-Z

  33. X,Y,”and Z” April 25, 2010

    @Geronimo – What’d up?
    (X,Y,”and Z” wonders: during, all-a-that-there, “Globe-Hopping” Geronimo seems to be doing, if she’ll ever, find-it-in-her-heart, to stop at some garage sale and buy, or at least rent, Rihanna some talent! But X,Y,”and Z” ain’t one to throw shade on the Lord’s day, and so will remain quiet: ain’t one to gossip, so you ain’t hear THAT from me!)

  34. Ghetto Fab April 25, 2010

    @ Blasian

    I won’t go too much into it because this is Trey’s post but alot of you are unaware of the pull Jay-Z has in the music business. Especially when it comes to behind the scenes. There’s a lot of stuff that went down which included her father Mathew. This is one of the reasons a lot of people don’t believe in their “relationship/marriage.” Alot of people see it as a business deal. So while Beyonce was clearly the more “visible” star, Jay had and still has way more pull than she ever had behind the scenes.

    Anywho back to the Trey post

    @ Geronimo

    I agree he’s got to do some type of movement. He doesn’t have to be trained in the Michael Jackson school of dance like the others ( Usher, Justin Timberfake, Chris Brown, Jason Derulo, or Omarion) but he’s got to learn some stage presence. Its like when he goes up there he kind of disappears. It gets boring. And it shouldn’t because his songs are the s*** right now. Hope he can get it together. He’s a talented young man.

  35. Blasian April 25, 2010

    @Ghetto Fab

    You don’t know anything that goes on behind the scenes

    Still Beyonce is a BIGGER LARGER STAR than Jay he said it WORLDWIDE. He really isn’t known beside’s married to Beyonce Jay – Z never had a WORLDWIDE Tour. Beyonce has helepd Jay Crossover to mainstream.

    Beyonce is a very WONDERFUL business woman as in so she makes more money than Jay-Z

    So again Jay -Z hasn’t done NOTHING for Beyonce’s Career

  36. Blasian April 25, 2010

    More Pull Jay-Z would’ve never got on Oprah Show if it wasn’t for Beyonce. Beyonce has more Pull than Him Ja-z would’ve never been invited to the Oscars if it wasn’t for Beyonce , at The White House if it wasn’t for Beyonce so again Beyonce has more pull than Jay-Z

  37. Aunt Jackie April 25, 2010

    @ Blasian

    I think Jay-z and Beyonce do things for each other.

    Before Jay-z Beyonce had a little less attitude. I think she’s plays better with urban audiences now. Things like ‘Upgrade U’ ’03 Bonnie & Clyde’ ‘Soldier’ with her being kind of hood-like and rap/singing ect. He gave her a little attitude/street cred. That’s cute.

    Before Beyonce Jay-z wasn’t as mainstream, and she’s helped him cross-over in a major way. He collaborates with a lot more rock/pop/alternative artists now and performs at different types of venues/festivals.

    Taken from Jay-z and Beyonce’s record ‘Hollywood’ off of Jay-z’s album Kingdom Come

    X,Y,”AND Z” ALWAYS got something negative to say. Das your first name? Of all the posts I’ve seen you commented in, if you commented on 30, you had 5 good things to say.

  39. jasmine April 25, 2010

    they are really photoshopping his body…hes not even that buff…in fact he’s not buff at all…he’s a toothpick…nd he’s npt sexii at all…he looks like sandy off of spongebob..! thats just my opinion…oh nd btw….HE CANNOT SING…!

  40. X,Y,”and Z” April 25, 2010

    @Leesy — And what did I say that was “so negative,” OR who, should I ask: am I being negative to/with or about? …Please do-tell…..?!?! Leesy, I’m not sure where you are, but where I am, It’s a Sunday and I DON’T THROW SHADE ON THE LORDS DAY!

    Leesy, you’ve accused me of a crime WITHOUT evidence, so NOW, I’m STEADFAST in my righteousness and full-in-my-innocence!! …But since THIS IS the “Lord’s Day,” I’ll forgive you…… ; – 9 <<— See, I'm NOT-SO-BAD after all…

    X,Y,"and Z" — OUT!!

  41. Tru Voice April 25, 2010

    LMAO at him slowing down making acoustic versions of songs like “i invented s**.” A mess. And when he did “let’s get it on????” That “aww” on the aww baby part… no sir. Maybe I should start posting vids of me on YouTube cuz if some of these people can make it in the music biz…. any of us can.

  42. RATED X April 25, 2010

    @Dilla
    thats it, ur a** needs to be in a corner..lol
    u aint never lie though, i always thought there was something a little, EXTRA, bout him..im not sayin hes gay, but that pic is not helping the gays rumors.

  43. X,Y,”and Z” April 25, 2010

    @Trent — …And where did you get that OBVIOUSLY-Photoshopped picture from? …I mean if I REALLY had wanted to go-in-on-Trey; you just gave me a really a “target-friendly/rich- environment!” …Lucky for Trey….!!! Sam/Tren, repost this on a week day; step-back, and watch me reduce Trey to tears! …This IS the Lord’s Day…for just-under 5-more hrs……!!! ; – 9

    X,Y,”and Z” — OUT!

  44. Keesha April 25, 2010

    There’s some songs that he should not have performed on this show. He doesn’t really have that much range, but I do like him. I hope that his next album is not about s** (even though this one wasn’t completely about s**). Make songs like “I Need A Girl.”

  45. ~Team Weezy~ April 25, 2010

    Although I love Trey to pieces, I am very surprised on how great he sounded. Not saying he doesn’t have an okay voice but he sounded outstanding here. Not so much vibrato. He looks hella cute, too. In addition, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, “Unplugged” therefore I think a more deserving artist to begin the restart of it would be someone like Maxwell orErykah Badu since their back on the scene. Or they could have went with something unexpected like they did when LL Cool J did it and Jay-Z did. I think Wayne would have been the perfect candidate for it (of course before he got incarcerated) Not to mention, the GREATEST “Unplugged” EVER, EVER, EVER was Lauryn Hill’s!!!!!!

    Anyways, Loves Trey! 🙂

  46. mrsjones April 25, 2010

    @SYMONE, i completely co-sign with you. You n***** calling him gay are jealous or wish he was gay so he would f*** with you, and you females calling him probably know he would never want you so that’s why you are hating. If you followed him on twitter you would know that Trey LOVES us ladies. You would also know that if you ever listened to any of his music, so get out of here with that nonsense. @GERONIMO, please get off chris brown’s straining while he sings, woman-beating ass. That n**** does not deserve an unplugged, and people are barely even checking for him anymore

  47. X,Y,”and Z” April 26, 2010

    @Msjones — You shouldn’t have done that!! …Now YOU’VE put Trey in “MY crosshairs!” …Why is it that we’ve NOT heard stuff ’bout other performers? …And I’d rather have been accused/guilty-of: R***; ‘Peeing-on folk; Wifebeating/Womanbeating; Murder and/or Bank Robbery, than c***-sucking; something Trey is all-too-familiar-with! …Where there’s smoke-there’s fire!

  48. X,Y,”and Z” April 26, 2010

    @MsJones — Even YOU gotta admit; Trey, in-that-picture: all greased-up; all-Prison-buffed-out; in a dark alley, just waiting to “service his boyfriend”, or any other “lucky” erectile-tissue that happens his way….

    Pictures tell a thousand words… I’m just saying….!! Trent posted a HIGHLY SUGGESTIVE picture, rife with homoerotic symbolisms, and asked for comment. I think you should forward your complaints his way, no?

  49. LA girl April 26, 2010

    I love that picture of Trey! he looks super s*** his body looked so good when he shot it, (time to get back in the GYM), That looks better then his VIBE cover… But as a vocalist and live performer he has long way o go he just doesn’t compare to the record.

  50. tia April 26, 2010

    Ya’ll are reaching…..trey can def sing……but like someone else said…he doesnt have much range….which means he is a good singer but not a great one, tyrese could sing him under the ground and Mario’s voice has alot more versitility but i love trey….so this is a good look for him…you cant please everybody and it seems all the people who hate him posted their comments here because i dnt see this much hate anywhere else

  51. aiecia April 27, 2010

    I love Trey to death ,but if this isn’t photo shop to death I don’t know what is.

  52. jess April 27, 2010

    @SYMONE

    YOU MUST HAVE A NON-EXISTENT GAY-DAR. LOTS OF THINGS ABOUT TREY SCREAM GAY. HIS OVERSEXED OVERDONE HETEROSEXUAL PERSONA (A COVER UP), HIS FACIAL EXPRESSIONS, HIS POUT IN EVERY DAMN PHOTO, HIS AWKWARD & NERVOUS REACTION WHEN CONFRONTED WITH GAY RUMORS (SEE ANGELA YEE RADIO INTERVIEW ON YOUTUBE FOR PROOF). NO STRAIGHT MAN TRIES AS HARD AS TREY DOES TO PROVE THEIR STRAIGHTNESS. HE’S MORE THAN LIKELY BI-SEXUAL. AS A WOMAN, I FIND HIS BEHAVIOR OFF-PUTTING.

  53. jess April 27, 2010

    @MRSJONES

    SHUT THE F*** UP PLEASE. YOU SOUND STUPID & ARE ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WOMEN (SPECIFICALLY BLACK WOMEN) ARE THE HIGHEST GROUP OF NEW H** INFECTION. ALMOST EVERYTHING ABOUT TREY SCREAMS GAY. HE HAS A QUESTIONABLE PAST AND HE TRIES TO F****** HARD TO PROVE HE’S HETEROSEXUAL. HE USES THAT FAKE ASS B******* TO GET DUMB ASS HOODRATS LIKE YOURSELF TO SUPPORT HIM. GAY SONGZ IS MEDIOCRE AND NO ONE WAS CHECKING FOR HIM BEFORE CHRIS BROWN BEAT RIHANNA’S ASS. DO YOU THINK HE WANTS TO BE WITH YOU? THAN AGAIN, MAYBE HE DOES. YOU AND ANOTHER *M-A-N*

  54. jess April 27, 2010

    @G3

    TREY SONGZ DOES COME OFF GAY AND N-O IT’S NOT BECAUSE WOMEN SAY IT WHO CAN’T GET HIM OR GAY MEN SAY IT. HE JUST DOES. PERSONALLY, I DON’T THINK HE’S ATTRACTIVE. HE LOOKS LIKE A LAB RAT OR BROKE TOMMY DAVIDSON & SOUNDS LIKE A GARGLING BILLY GOAT
