It sure will be interesting to see how Mr Songz fares this go round. For, despite all of the hype surrounding his last album ‘Ready’, the LP only just scrapped Gold selling status. Moreover, with many having identified a certain cockiness about the 25 year old, ‘Passion’ will need not only to serve up great material, but also sell significantly better than Songz’ last LP to be considered a success.
Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)Important to point out too is that Trey’s so-so success was largely achieved when the likes of Usher and Chris Brown were out of the limelight. With both Brown and Usher currently doing their thing, it’ll be interesting to see how this impacts the Virginia native’s project. After all, he hardly gives either a run for their money.

didn’t tank have s**, love, and pain?????
I never purchased a trey album and probably won’t get this one either…
http://www.thebeatstop.b*******.com
Sounds like ANOTHER s** album for Trey! NEXT
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER R-KELLY BOOTLEG ALBUM. THIS PIC OF TREY ALWAYS CRACKS ME UP ROLF. NEVER REALLY LIKED TREY SONGZ AND AFTER THE INTERVIEW YOU GUYS DID WITH I THOUGHT HE WAS WAY TOO ARROGANT.
CHECK OUT MY NEW ENTERTAINMENT SITE >>>> http://WWW.FRESHURBANENT.CO.UK
SMH @ these titles…Just go away and be a p*** star liked you always dreamed of.
Not checkin’ for his ass & just like everybody, I cut & paste Nicki Minaj’s verse from “Bottoms Up” & deleted his rancid vocals. Not even his BET reality show (that no one watches) will be able to save this album…BOY BYE!
I JUST WANNA EAT HIM OUT LOL
This will be interesting…I don’t care for his cocky attitude at all. But I love his music…so I may support if its good.
S***!!!!!!!
I love TGJ and UB I swear yall the only two sites I visit on the regular for my info yall should join forces and become one bomb ass site yall always got what I need:=) Love faces ump alriiiiiight Trey!!!!!
I swear Trey Songz has a very Beautiful Voice who I favor over Both Usher & R Kelly’s. My problem is that I believe he would be so much more successful If his music was of more substance. If it was I might actually be interested in buying his album. Currently the I only Buy Beyonce albums because theres a certain guarantee there. At some point you have to switch it up & stop singing about S** to female audiences. Is that all they care to hear from him?, Is all he wants is to be a s** symbol?? His recent album ‘Ready” is pretty good but his debut Singles were a lot more becoming.
Thank you for pointing out the truth. The only reasons why Trey is succeeding are because Usher and Chris Brown were out of the limelight and R. Kelly, Omarion, Bow Wow and Mario fell off. That’s real talk. He sells the same amount on each album he has released – 500K. When he reaches platinum status is when he should start getting cocky, not gold status after six singles.
Four interludes though? I do not want to hear him saying yuuup 50 different times. Sorry to say I just dont see it for Trey this go round. I honestly think Say Ahh was his career’s peak it wont get any better than that
trey songz is cute but I don’t really like his kind of music I hope beyonce and chris brown will have new albums
This is just ALL WRONG on so many LVLs to start with from the very get go 17 tracks is way too many, any album with interludes on them are automatically gonna be a mess (See a Ashanti CD). & on top of that where is the growth, hes basically selling out. He has too much talent & potencial to try to be just another s** symbol. He started out better in his Debut because It wasnt about his looks then.
Like I said B4 I favor his voice over Usher, Chris, & R.Kelly’s, He has potential to be so much more than just another urban act.
Everyone calls Trey cocky after that ONE interview he had with you guys…whatever! I met Trey before and he was nothing but nice and a gentleman. People who say he’s only successful because Usher and Chris fell off is real ignorant, no one would play or buy his music if it was wack! He’s extremely talented and you can’t take that away from him. As for the album, people who have already heard it have gave it great reviews, one person going as far as to say that “Trey has no competition…” But what can I say people will be haters when others succeed, prepare to eat your words September 14th! Yuuup! lol
Trey Songz & Keri Hilson both recieved moderate success when Ciara & Chris Brown were not in the limelight…so with their anticipated comebacks drawing near I don’t think Keri let alone Trey will do half as good this time around.
^^^ & this is coming from a C=ERROR Stan?? I swear yall are in for a rude awakening come October 5th. Your girl is so done, Shes not even relevant enough to be a judge on Idol…
@ImHighPrice
I agree with you 100%. But i think Trey is gonna be succesful this time to. His music may not have substance but he works hard. I dont think Keri is gonnabe succesful as long as ciara gets off her ass and promote. and chris i think he’s gonna do just as well as Trey’s (ready album) and go gold. But trey and ciara i think might go platinum this go round
his 1st album is his best album. (search “trey songz in the middle and/or all the if’s” on youtube those are awesome songs!) but after that he fell off. I can’t stand the crap he makes now. He tries so hard to be s*** that he just comes off being gay!
@S***
STFU Ciara gonna be succesful this go round she not gonna out sell beyonce or rihanna or the top acts/ but she gonna have atleast a gold album. she just regaining her staus
I’ll go to the zoo if i wanna hear sheep and pay for it
AH ISNT THE S** SELLER WITH HIS NEW S** ALBUM.BESIDE THE SONG WITH NICKI (SHE SAVED THE TRACK) ALL OF HIS WORK SUCK$ HE STILL GOT A NICE VOICE THOUGH HE JUST NEED BETTER MATERIL I MAY LISTEN TO THIS IM JUST HOPING THIER ARE A SONG THAT MEAN SOMETHING BESIDE S**.WHO HOT HES OS SHES.OR CLUBING
YOU F****** PEOPLE ARE ASSHOLES TREY SONGZ IS A GREAT ARTIST AND HE EARNED HIS CREDITIBILITY AS AN INCREDIBLE ARTIST BY HARD WORK AND PERSISTANCE, HOW DARE YOU SAY SUCH RUDE INCONSIDERATE THINGS ABOUT SOMEONE. WHEN THE PPP ALBUM COMES OUT AND IT GOES PLATINUM I HOPE YOU CHOKE ON YOU F***** SPIT DUMB MUTHAFUKAS
Sounds like a bunch of leftovers to me.NEXT!
I agree. He needs to diversify his song lyrics. R. Kelly was successful because he made good music about s** combined with solid r&b tracks about love and life.
Yeah im definitely not a BIG TS fan… But i liked and did buy “Ready”. 1st off his live performances…. R u serious? Ive never scat for breath so hard and hes always using that “pull the mic from your mouth” trick. Im just convinced he’s a studio singer. But thats fine with me, I dont have to see him live. @JAYDEUCE: But this album looks just like “Ready” tracklist. It does look like leftovers. But its fine for now. N he doesn’t have to completely evolve cuz he’s just finding out what works for him. But his next album after “PPP” better go HARD!
Could care less about this album. I’m still upset at Trey for molesting Princes’ “Purple Rain” @ the BET Awards..
@SOULFUL ROSES: SO TRUE!!
@ SOULFUL ROSES
Whatever. He did just fine at the EBT Awards, as did Chris.
I “PRAY” THAT THIS WILL BE A GREAT ALBUM. HEARING ONLY ONE SONG FROM THE TRACKLIST (BOTTOMS UP) WHICH I HATE, I HOPE THE REST OF THE ALBUM SOUNDS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM IT. I STILL THINK HE HAS TIME TO GET SOME MORE COLLABS ON THERE B/C SOMETHING IN THE BACK OF MY MIND SAYS TREY JUST ISNT ENOUGH TO SELL AN ALBUM. LIKE CMON NOW DUETS, NO BIG RAPPERS. I JUST HOPE THESE SONGS ARE HITS, BECAUSE IF THIS FLOPS…..I SMELL A CIARA COMING THRU LOL SMH
Trey Songz did over 750k. Please someone tell me how that is just scrapping Gold. Nobody sells records anymore and Gold is hard to come by. Just check the sales of other artists. Give the man his props.
@ ozzy
I agree, I see that as very successful for him who is still relatively new to mainstream radio. It too bad it didnt go platinum though, ‘Ready’ is a really strong well rounded effort that deserved commercial success both on the charts & in Sales. I also wanna point out THAT A LOT OF ppl ON HERE UNDER RATE HIS VOCAL ABILITIES.
Still have his first album though. This will have to tie me over until he starts making that kind of music again..

_________________________________
Look at these thought provoking titles. Whatever could the subjetct matter of these songs be ? ::rollin’muheyez:
At some point you need to stop singing about s**, Usher learned the hard way when ‘Here I Stand’ flopped & so did Chris when ‘Take You Down’ flopped.
Songz needs to stop being this generations R. Kelly [he will never reach that level] & start cranking out some uptempo stuff [Say Ahh doesn’t count *cringe*] and decent ballads if he wants to compete with Usher, Neyo, Chris, Jason etc..
Lol I dont see Trey going platinum with this album at all. Especially when it took him going on tour with Jay Z to push him well over that 500k mark. And the fact that he released 7 singles and only one went gold/platinum is crazy. I dont even know if you would call that a success. By Trey standards yes but if you look at it pretty much all of male r&b (usher, chris, mario, maxwell, neyo, omarion etc.) have atleast one platinum album. The fact that Trey just had the biggest year of his career with no competition at all and he still couldnt accomplish that baffles me. Smh now unless he wants to turn back into the major flop that he once was he better change that release date from the same day as Kanye because we all know what the outcome of that would be.
@ImHighPrice
CHILE, PUH-LEASE!
IN A PERFECT WORLD CAME OUT 2 MONTHS BEFORE T***** RIDE AND IT DID BETTER. DONT TRY TO DISCREDIT HE-ERROR BECUZ SHES BEEN REPLACED! NO ONE IS CHECKING FOR HER ANYMORE. SHES DONE AND NO SAVING HER.
KERI HAS A BETTER CHANCE MAKING ANOTHER HIT ALBUM THAN HE-ERROR CUZ KERI ACTUALLY HAS A SINGING VOICE, SOMETHING HE-ERROR DOESNT HAVE.
trey and ciara to go platinum? hell no,first of all i like ciara but she’s not going platinum with “basic instinct” ,honestly i doubt trey is gonna go platinum either,honestly i dont understand his hype,i listen to trey’s other album and they were really good but now he’s a sellout.
I have never been a huge Trey Songz fan. I liked a few cuts from his last effort ‘Ready’, that’s it. The tracklisting sounds very oversexed. We’ll see…
I’m over Trey songz. Sorry to say it but NEXT!!!!
All of these are accurate points made!
*Too Cocky
*6 Singles 7 or so videos and not Platinum!?
*Too much S**
*No colabs/features!?
*Questionable Live performances (even brought up on the mini series on BET)
I’m not hating or anyhting. I have his albums AND I have been to his shows. (BIG music fan) *Good and Bad*.But I think they RUSHED this album out…they needed to re group and take a diffrent approach. And judgeing by this track listing they should have called this album “Ready 2 flopp.0”
And for the person that said that records are’nt selling anymore. I dont think thats the case. Eminem is almost 2 Platinum in 2 months. Usher is Platinum already, Jay -Z double plat, A Keys etc….You have to MAKE people WANT to go get your stuff!
#SideNote: I think that Trey would have been Platinum by now if he had a different album cover for Ready. That cover made it DIFFICULT for a man to purchase…S** DOESNT always sell when it comes to male artist. You would think someone from his camp would have caught that from a PR/AR standpoint!
OMG @ Sam only picking shirtless pictures for Trey Songz, do I smell a little thing going on here ??
I really like Trey Songz but I hope TREY or KEVIN LILES are reading this: After three albums, Trey definitely needs a #1 single and a #1 album to be considered as one of the best in the game like Usher or Breezy. Otherwise, he’ll be just a “sensation”.
Trey and Keri rose to fame in 2009 because Chris and Rihanna were busy healing their wounds but they’re back now.
Trey needs to get rid of that s** thing. If he’s that good in bed, I’m sure some of his video vixens will tell us. Now it’s time for real music,for real lyrics, for consistency.
Usher, Justin Timberlake and Breezy are great dancers, R.Kelly and Maxwell are great vocalists and lyricists. Trey, while you don’t dance, you’re just a very good vocalist. That’s not enough to be the next R’B hearthrob but I do believe you have your shot. Give us something new, something real, Trigga or else you’ll join Omarion, Mario, Bobby Valentino and many others.
Well if the album is $7.99 again on Itunes, I’ll buy it. Lol whats to lose for $8. Thats why i bought “Ready” and becaus ei really like ‘Say Aah’
@Mishka: He’s a very good STUDIO vocalist. No shade thrown at him but have u heard his live performances?
I agree that his first record is his best to date. The hypersexual content of his other records is disappointing when he is capable of so much more. I guess he just wants to be on the pop charts where the “money” is.
look yall some hating b****** his 3 albums was the s*** and say ahh isnt his best song im pretty sure his album will be better than drakes and niki minaj he did his thang thats why he is a superstar now imma be laughin when all the doubters are blasting the album and looking dumb saying they didnt know it was gonna be that good hes an r&b singer he suppose to sing bout s** not drinking and clubing thats what rap is for dumb ass b******
this n**** is so gay
n**** im far from gay yo b**** ass
Trey made my ears bleed on the BET awards and slaughtered a Prince tribute, why he was asked to even do that I do not know it was horrid. Trey is just a studio singer that girls think is cute he is lucky he has gotten this far.
Oh well…its a wrap for him. Poor performances…little to no stage presence…the return of CB…the return of Usher. Bye bye Ciara…I mean Trey Songz.
Go back to the lab and make some quality music and get a vocal coach for that vibrato cuz its unbearable.
His first cd was dope tho….now he feeling hisself too much.
@channelexor
There’s no need to be idiotic. I am actually a fan of Keri’s & I bought her album but she released damn near 7 singles & barely reached gold, If Ciara would of released that many for Fantasy Ride, it would of went gold as well.
Also, Ciara wasn’t really catering to the urban audience at the time, which left room for Keri to garner success & it’s the exact situation with Chris Brown &
Trey Songz.
Don’t come for Ciara, “Ride” is the #3 urban song in the country w/ NO promo…I’m a fan but Keri could never.
S***

@ SOULFUL ROSES
Whatever. He did just fine at the EBT Awards, as did Chris.
_________________________________________________________________________
No it sucked. BIG TIME. It was such a disappointment too, because I actually thought that Trey could sing. I guess I thought wrong. If this album is about s**, not buying it, just like I did not buy ‘Ready.’
billy goat roadkill
July 31, 2010 at 8:14 pm
this n**** is so gay
_________________________________________________________________________
I don’t think that he is gay, he just cannot sing, AT ALL. It makes it very hard for me to like his music. I cannot listen to music from talentless people.
I like trey songz but that performance at the bet awards was a mess
I think he needs to change up his style people are tired of hearing about s**
WOW…YOU GUYS GO TOO HARD ON TREY THESE DAYS. Y POST ANYTHING ON HIS UPCOMING PROJECTS OR HIM AS AN ARTIST IF YOUR NOT GOING TO GIVE A NON-BIASED POST. SEEMS LIKE SOMEONE IS STILL SALTY ABOUT THE INTERVIEW YOU DID W. HIM. LIKE IT OR NOT TREY IS NEEDED IN THE INDUSTRY JUST AS MUCH AS CHRIS OR USHER. THE GAME IS HARD ENOUGH TO GET IN DON’T KNOCK SOMEONE FOR SHARING THEIR MUSIC WITH THE WORLD REGARDLESS OF THE SUBJECT MATTER
IM JUST BEING REAL
there is something i still dont understand……..pls stop bringing ushers name when u mention artistes like trey, chris, mario, omari etc. Usher is not in their league pple…….u can neva compare an artistes that have sold over 5omillion copies……..plzzzzzzzzzzz usher here i stand that u pple call flop sold more than 5 million copies worldwide(ok when it comes to usher u can call it flop but if its anyone of those guys i mention is going to be their crowning achievement.) usher is on his way of gettin his tenth nos 1…….with d joint with pitbull n trey song is still fighting to get one and chris is still dying to pass his two number one status with no grammy……..when u mention ush u mention pple like JT, kels……those r 3pple in the same league and yall know that usher still tops that list…………av u all forgotten just after two month of release RvR rounded up ready, graffiti, n love king combine…….i mean the worldwide sales……….plz pple its very insultive when u compare ush wit dis kids…..ush is so far bigger than them with everything the guy just finished a tour of asia and am not talking 5000 fans am talking stadium size audience and not just to ordinary fans but to royalties too…….i mean politicians…..this is a guy that can enter every continent and hundreds n thousands will be waiting for him at the airports……..for God sake trey success cant even be compared to that of justin beiber,,,,,,,,,and chris stans stop comparing usher to ur boy but start to look out for that goofy jason derulo guy……..usher is their king….he have stand the test of time 3 decades(having at least one nos i single in one)……..and he is still going strong so please usher is their DADDY…….the KING OF RNB.
Well, I’m not a Trey fan anymore, but in his defense “Ready” wasn’t completely about s**. In actually think it was a balance of s** and love/relationships. Songs like I need a girl, Love Lost, One Love, Holla if you need me, Yo side of the Bed, Say Ahh, Black Roses, Be where you are were NOT s** driven songs. And that’s about half of the album if not more. So I’m not sure as to why people continue to think his ENTIRE album is about s**. I LOVED “Ready” and I’d like to think that it was by far my favorite R&B album in 2009.
As far as his voice, he has WAAAAAYYY too much vibrato. It gets annoying! However, he does have a decent voice. And the MAIN reason I say that is because I’ve seen him in concert/live for myself THREE times and he actually sounds rather well. Practically the same as his studio voice. I can honestly give him kudos for that because that’s not normal for most artists. (However that BET performance was atrocious).
Now this album PPP isn’t helping his case as far as the “S**” thing.
Usually when people ASSume they make an ASS out of themselves. Ya’ll haven’t even heard the album and you’re assuming that all the songs are about s** @UMYA pointed out some songs she thought was about s** based on the titles and she listed Bottoms Up when that song is clearly about drinking alcohol. You cant judge a song until you hear it. If you say Trey is all about s** then your clearly not a fan and dont have any of his music, on Ready there were only like 4 songs about s**. Yo Side Of The Bed, Holla If You Need Me, One Love, Be Where You Are, Jupiter Love, Black Roses, I Need A Girl, Successful, Lol :), Say Aah, Love Lost and Does He Do It were not about s** and thats damn near the whole album! Really find another reason to hate him cuz the “He only sings about s**” thing is old and dumb.
@naijaboi
#haveaseat……Seriously. Preferably one with super glue on it . This post is not about Usher nor do we give a damn about Usher right now. And the king of r&b is and will always be R.Kelly period point blank. I Believe I Can Fly >>>>>> Usher’s entire career
at last this dumbass can read and write unlike his idol r. kelly. nonetheless, he freaking sucks. go back home. still no platinum album? waste of record label’s money.
@ Keesha
THATS YOUR OPINION H** NOT FACT!! & I SUGGEST YOU CHANGE YOUR PIC FROM THAT UGLY BABY OF YOURS.
@ ~TeAM WeeZY
How is Say Ahh not s** Driven?? Pay more attention to lyrics.
@S***
Say Aah is not s** driven the lyrics say “We dont buy no DRINKS at the bar we pop champagne cuz we got that doe, let me hear you say aah, if you want me say aah”
The say aah part meaning pouring liquor in females mouth which he often does when he does to clubs if they dont have cups. It developed a double meaning over time due to other people, thats not Trey’s fault. But the isn’t about s**.
@S***
I DO pay attenttion to the lyrics, hun. To me the song isn’t s** driven. It’s about having fun in the club drinking and a random chick getting drunk, yes he makes sexual references but it’s NOT s** driven. There is a difference in a s** driven and merely making sexual references in a song. It’s not explicity referring to s** the same as songs like “I Invented S**” or “The Neighbors know my name.” You might wanna pay more attention to lyrics thinking he needs to “switch it up” because you’ve assumed that most of his music is largely about s**, when it isn’t.
typo *a s** driven SONG
@LALA lemme set onr thing straight am no hater…..i luv all genre of music, i got ma own copy of ready(luv da album n will definitely get PPP), no this is not an ush post…….an am leagues away from u guys cos am a nigerian n ova here ready is a pretty good stuff radio almost overplayed say ahh……but u also knw is really a big insult when u jam some sites n u see all what this trey n chris stans do is compare those guys to usher…….i swear trey n chris cant even compare themselves to that guy…….n cant also say he hasnt inspired there career……..on sayin’ ush is da king might be a little far fetched when u got kels…….but statiscally ush is da man(number 1’s, sales n consistency)……..check wiki……d guy is on his third decade and he is still hot like fire n if he keeps goin like this either him or eminem will still get the artistes of d decade spot again…….so thats what pple like trey to look up to…..n not try to recreate 8 remix of trading place on what track……he should also try n do some remix of there goes my baby…….n try a little to impress other audience(he shld b a ltle more versatile)…….music does not end with urban listeners……pple listen all ova d globe……a little bit crossover wont do him any harm……he should check d sales of RvR or ROKSTARR
“let me hear you say aah, if you want me say aah” = *B****, Lets get drunk & have some Oral S***
Metaphor Much??
Another FLOP
Im tired of Trey Singz selling s** in every album. I can understand s*** songs and if s** inspires him, then fine, but every album is becoming the same. Can we get some inspirational songs here and there? What’s really going on with you Trey Songz? That’s what I want artists to do more of these days. Dont just talk about the s** you have but what;s going on in your mind.
Like Prod Griff from Public Enemy said….”The b*** crack has become the new cleavage.” And Trey Songz is following suit in this photo above I see. SMH! Pull ya pants up!
Look at R. Kellys track record. Most of his songs are s** or club driven. Sure he has the talent to do much more but it’s no different than what Trey is doing so why give him so much gripes about that? Every artist has different styles.
Also Usher has been in the game way longer than Chris and Trey so of course he is more successful.
Also I don’t agree that Trey’s success has anything to do with Chris gone because he wasn’t gone. He released Exclusive and a mixtape around the same time. Usher released Raymond vs Raymond. I get tired of people acting like more than one type of artist can’t be out. Trey’s success is manly due to his work ethic. Yes he still has more to do but he has improved from the last album and that says something at least.
The music industry is do fixed and controlled. If they like you they will play your music on the radio and your video’s on the video networks regardless of how the music sounds. Quality in entertainment doesn’t appear to be that important in today’s music industry! The proof of how hot you are comes from CD sells not attributed to your record company (ex: Rihanna and Jay’s label admitted to purchasing 100,000 copies of thier last projects) or interferred with by fake media outlets and haters trying to block the sell of your CD by lying on the quality of the project (e.g. Rolling Stone, EW, Spine) or refusing to stock the selves (Walmart etc)! So we will see.
I like Trey Songz inspite of his arrogance. He is simply not an A-List talent but he is a good B-List talent. JMO people!
Trey Songz is overrated & tries way too damn hard. He would be singing on a street corner if this was the 90s, 80s, you get the idea.
these pictures of trey songs clearly are targeted to homosexual men.
@naijaboi
Wait a minute! If you like Usher that’s cool but don’t throw shade on Chris to do it! I don’t give a damn about a Grammy consdiering how fixed the music industry is Usher can make crap (not saying that he does; I actually like Usher) and he would receive a Grammy, VMA, etc because the powers that be like him. Who receives awards these days has little to do with who deserves them, just who is liked by the “right people”!
How in God’s name can you determine what a song is about solely on the title. Titles can be very deceiving. Reading that track listing doesn’t give me the impression that all those songs are about s**.
It pretty sad that TGJ is salty because what they deem as an unsuccessful interview with Trey. Please get over it. That interview was done over two months ago. It’s done and over with.
Sorry “Ready” didn’t scrap Gold it exceeded Gold status. It’s funny this site acts like Trey’s last CD sold double wood or something. It did very well considering the way the music industry is today.
I don’t think Trey’s success is so so in my opinion he had a very great year. Frankly Trey does give Usher and Chris a run for their money in the vocal department. Though I love Usher and Chris they do lack in the vocal department.
Plain and simple stop hating on the brother and wish the best for him. I find it disgusting that you would predict or rather imply his CD wouldn’t do well without even hearing all of the tracks of the CD.
How is Usher out of the limelight?????
I truly doubt if Trey would have been singing on the street had he tried to come out in the 80’s or 90s. There were plenty of artist that came out in those decades with far worst voices than Trey and did extremely well.
@FOCUSONJESUS
He would NOT be getting the praise he gets for his voice if he had come out in the 80s or 90s. ALL artists nowadays are overrated and made to look more talented than they actually are. It’s all about IMAGE first. Nobody talks about how great Trey’s music is “first”. They usually say s*** about how good he looks and all that other s***.
trey songz isn’t a flop i heard that he did very good, and i don’t think that trey is too cocky, he’s just confident, that’s all, and and not every song he sings is s**, he does occasionally sing an inspirational song, “yo side of the bed”, and “the only one” are good meaningful song, give trey his props, there’s room 4 trey, usher, chris brown, and the rest…. anybody can take the spot. i don’t know about his 4th album, it might not go platinum, but it’ll do good, give him a chance.
@Soulful Roses: Damn! Yeah, he embarrased himself at the BET awards! Prince did not look pleased at all! Lol!
Well as a fellow VA native, I love and support Trey. I think he is a good artist that is finally getting the shine that he deserved. He has been on his grind since 2005. He has put out quality music in the past but it got ignored. I hate to say it, cause I think they are two completely difference artist in different lanes, but I do think that CB outshined him a bit especially in the beginning. CB was dominating urban and then got hold of mainstream and just took off. It seems as if this pushing the s** envelope thing is what helped get Trey recognition. His team had to find a way to make him stand out. It’s sad but true.
I’ve seen him in concert a couple times and he was pretty good! He has good stage presence and his vocals were on point (at least the times I’ve seen him). His MTV Unplugged was really good too. I just think that when he really needs to prove himself, such as at an awards, show he fails to impress (i.e. BET awards).
His previous albums were good and very underated. He hadn’t established his self as an artist yet with those albums. ‘Ready’ was a good album that did have versatiliy such as ‘Your Side of the Bed”. It’s just that when he releases singles like that, they got ignored. The s** thing was the only that really worked for him. Although it seems as if it is getting old real soon,hence him not even having a platinum album yet.
I am just worried that his new album doesn’t have too much growth. I think his first single ‘Bottoms Up’ proves that! It’s horrible! I think he just hooked up with Nicki cause she is the ‘it’ girl right now and knew it woud get aiplay with her on the track. It’s just a vague club record with a hot beat and catchy hook, no substance at all. I’m not gonna judge the whole album by his first single, I will need to hear more, but if that’s the best he can come up with for the first single then my expectations won’t be high. I think his team was just eager to put out an album while he is still hot right now. I have a feeling this album will just be a bunch of left over and rushed material.
The same release date as Kanye probably isn’t a good look either. I don’t know what his team is thinking. I am wishing him luck but he might not do as well this time around.

First of all, I am not a h** second of all, I’ll change my picture when you change yours. Fact is, Trey Songz performance at the BET awards sucked and I am not going to sugar coat it just because you like him. THE END.
LMAO @ “He would be singing on a street corner if this was the 90s, 80s”~ Too funny.
Yall are hating too hard on this man’s young career. Give him a break!! There are way bigger over-rated acts to be hating this hard on.
I just think Trey’s voice is under rated. & I really dont even like male voices all that much. Like for instance I consider Usher’s voice to be too Basic/Standard for my liking. Theres a Hesitance in Trey’s voice that I like, much like Kelly or Brandy’s.~ S***
@S***
Yeah, you give Gay Songz such praise who is a mediocre singer, can’t dance, & has a horrible stage presence YET you disrespect a legend and musical pioneer like Michael Jackson. Put down the glass d*** sweetie. Remember crack is whack & Beystankin is OVERRATED. That b**** would be nothing without her slutty clothes and tacky lacefronts. How you like dem apples????
Now go get flushed down a toilet. B****
@S***
I know why you constantly hate on MJ. It’s because he gets more love than your beloved Beystankin. Oops, that’s too bad. Keep whining while a dead man outshines Seabiscuit Creole
You’re runny and you smell bad. YUCK. Just like Beystealin. She’s the Queen of Jackin Other People’s S*** and Claiming it as Her Own.
@S***
WOW! I didn’t know that one line metaphorically describes the ENTIRE song! Last time I checked there is an entire chorus, 2 verses from Trey, and one verse from Fab. So listening to the ENTIRE song does not give me the impression that the song is s** driven.
I guess some of you guys have selective hearing. Gotta Go, All The If’s, Coming For You, I Gotta Make It, Can’t Help But Wait, I Need A Girl, Say Aah, Your Side Of The Bed, One Love, Black Roses, Be Where You Are, Successful, Love Lost & Holla If You Need me were all songs that had nothing to do with s**. It took him to come out with a song that IS talking about s** to get your F*cking attention. R. Kelly talked about s** from day 1 and he gets a pass because he did some alternative, inspirational, and gospel songs???? WTF music is music. Even s*** songs have substance. Sh*t Prince talk about s** and we don’t even know if it’s to a man or a woman and we bump that s***! Stop being so fu*cking negative. You can’t compare Chris Brown and Usher with Trey because they’re totally different. Chris Brown and Usher are more pop and dance than R&B. Trey is not a performer like them. How the f*ck did ya’ll pull Ciara and Keri Hilson’s no singing asses in this? Ciara is a great performer all day BUT she can’t sing. Keri Hilson is a great writer and she’s easy on the eyes but thats it. Don’t mistake talent for bullsh*t. Trey is talented and he works his ASS off. I’ve met him a few times and he was not cocky at all. Stop judging and turn your f*cking radio up!
Denim I couldn’t agree w/ u more.
This is about TREY SONGZ, not KELZ-USHER-CB-JT-BEYONCE- and whomever else you’re comparing him too. Some of these artist have longevity(Usher has been out since 93/94, R Kelly’s been out since 90). Some of these artist are a triple threat. So on and so forth. They’re all different. For him to have only been out for five years, I think he’s doing pretty damn GREAT for himself. And I say that mildly.
And for those who say Trey can’t sing, have u seen him live or seen his ustream vids? If u haven’t, please exit left. You can’t judge an artist by a performance on a tv show.
Please stop comparing him to artist such as R Kelly whom by the way sings about S** till this day and Usher whom also sings about S** and have been out for over a decade. For him to have only been out on mainstream for 5yrs and being as successful as he is, he’s doing pretty damn well to say the least. And to the idiot who keeps saying that Say Ahh is referencing s**, are u serious? Have u listened to the lyrics? Like be for real. It’s so sad that when an artist makes a way for themselves, people find ways to bring them down. When Trey wasn’t do this well from 05-08, people spoke nothing of him. Now that he’s in the limelight and is a major success, you all find every way to bring him down. Not only the f**kery on here, but the media as well.
I see Trey making it as far as Usher and R Kelly have made it. Y, because he works hard as hell. He wants to get his success in early so that he can chill later. And if you watch his reality show, you’d know that he mentioned that. That says a lot about his character. I will DEF be copping his album like I did all the other three. And will continue to support Trey.
Excuse my book but I had to get that ish off my chest, lol
First of all, Ciara will not be making an impact with Basic Instinct. “Ride” is a mild hit and she made a bad decision not choosing “Gimme Dat” (which could do for Ciara what “OMG” did for Usher [a comeback]) as the second single. I see 200,000 records MAX in first week for her (more likely 80,000). The-Dream has even predicted that Basic Instinct is her last chance = correct. She’s been on the downhill since Ciara: The Evolution and Fantasy Ride was good but flopped.
And for Chris, he’s gone. He was big with Chris Brown and then Exclusive but after the domestic violence case, he released Graffiti too early. An album now would be great (most people, including Rihanna, have moved on), December was the reason Graffiti flopped.
Keri had two hit singles because of featured artists. She’s only a successful songwriter, not singer. As for Trey, his first two albums were complete flops and Ready was a total flop until “I Invented S**” and “Say Aah” did something. And now, because those two were hits, he’s taking s** appeal to an extreme. Though R. Kelly is gone these days, he was wrong to say that he’s the R. Kelly of today (no wonder it pissed Kelly off). And this album sounds like Ready’s leftovers (especially since it came out so early). “Bottoms Up” is okay (only because of Nicki), but it sounds very incomplete and it’s flopping thus far. As for the second single, “Can’t Be Friends”, I don’t like it and I don’t see it doing anything. The only reason that the PPP Tour may be huge is because it has small venues (good for his B-List status) and Monica (my fav) is on it.
These songs sound very overtly-sexual. And come on – “Doorbell” sounds like NKMN Part 2 and I hated NKMN. Grr. Not getting this.
Albums do sell like they used to you guys. It just takes more promotion and more singles than it used to. Eminem, Beyonce, Ne-Yo, Drake, Jay-Z, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Taylor Swift and even Katy Perry go Gold and Platinum these days. It just takes more promotion and more singles these days to sell records. And Drake sold 447,000 in his first week on a DEBUT; Trey has no excuse not to sell records – especially with six+ singles from an album and it only goes Gold. Ready was a disaster.
@SHELLY LOL 🙂 and Does He Do It were about s**…
Songs about s** on Ready:
1. Panty Droppa
2. Neighbors Know My Name
3. I Invented S**
4. Does He Do It
5. Say Aah (if you like the condo we can take it to the bedroom imma beat your body like a bongo; open wide I know you’re thirsty, if you want me/it say aah)
6. LOL 🙂
7. Ready to Make Luv
8. Be Where You Are (in some ways)
The other 9 weren’t about s**….nearly half the record was.
@S*** I agree – “Say Aah” is such a metaphorical song.
iCANT WAIT UNTIL DIS ALBUM COMES OUT !!!! I HAVE MOSTLY ALL OF HIS ALBUMS AND MIXTAPES !!!! I LOVE TREY !!!!!
You people is a bunch of no life dont kno good music ass haters fam yall hatin on trey cuz he is successful and yall not lame ass n***** hop off his d*** his albums was great even his f***** mixtapes…….

HE IS BEING HIS OWN PERSON AND LAST TIME I CHECKED CHRIS BROWN DID NOT BRING HIM OUT.. AND ALSO LAST TIME I CHECKED HE WAS JUST FEATURED ON R,KELLYS SONG.. SO ALL OF YOU WHO ARE HATING AND MAKING THESE RUDE AND UNCESSARY COMMENTS NEED TO CALM DOWN.

HE HAS PLENTY OF PEOPLE TO SUPPORT HIM AND HE DONT NEED YOU PEOPLE TO *THINK* YOUR GOING TO BRING HIM DOWN.. K.THANKS.BYE!
Damnnn, boy i love Can’t Be Friends and Love Faces and You Just Need Me alllllready! You are s*** as hell and im lovin it (:
Listened to this album on youtube and to be honest its fairly bland on first listening. But then again bottoms up took a few listens for me to like it, but i was really hoping for more songs like can’t be friends and that kind of quality.
Number 15 is unfortunate not I like that
Usher is no match for Trey Songz, the Raymond v Raymond track list being thoroughly disappionting on the whole compared to the impressive previous album, Coffessions. Trey is producing some fine material that will most definitely give the two familar stars of Usher and Brown a run for their money, as he is well in their legue.
i don’t think that trey has any less talent then either of the too
Yall r jst haters aint nun wrng with trey’s music!! nd evrybdy has ther own style his YUUP! is his own signtre sooo gt a damn life nd leave him alone! Nd if his was sooo wack he wuldnt b singn in sold out shows nd JayZ wuldnt hv had him on his tour…Dummies.
