R&B pin-up Trey Songz premièred the video for his latest single ‘Can’t Be Friends’ a few moments ago. Check out the racy clip, the second to be lifted from his ‘Passion, Pain, & Pleasure’ LP (due September 14th), after the jump…
Unsurprisingly, the 25 year old appears unclothed for the majority of what was a recession-special at best. Then again, having gone down the more sophisticated route to no avail with the video for ‘Bottoms Up’ (the song is still struggling to make an impact on the Hot 100), a return to the ‘sex card’ was imminent. A shame, as tight budget or otherwise, something more creative than simulating sex (AGAIN) would have done both Trey and the song more justice. Rubbish.
Sometimes this site’s negativity is a turn off …… thank god my favs are not Rihana & Trey songz
ahahaha the faces he makes at the end r hilarious
Ughhhh when is this guy goin to put a video in which he is clothed and doesn’t have s**??? I totally agree with you sam SMH
I agree with you Sam SMH
@ RobJr
IKR!! I haven’t seen a positive post without any smart comments yet…
But the video is ok… nothing spectacular but its a lil different for him except the n***-ness lol
It actually reminds me of Usher’s Confessions video.
OMFG THIS VIDEO HAS TO BE THE WORST VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN LIKE I REALLY TRY TO LIKE TREY BUT HE JUST F**** UP!!! LIKE S*** MAKES ME ANGRY!!! I LOVED THIS SONG SOOOOOOOO MUCH N THIS VIDEO IS JUST HORRIBLE… HOW DARE YOU TRIGGA!! HOW DARE YOOUUUUUUUU!!!! HMPH!
Was he going for Usher Confessions? because if he was, it’s a #epicfail. If he wasn’t its still #epicfail.
I LOVE this song and video! I think it is a different concept for him. So what if his shirt if off? He’s an R&B singer. Usher shirt is always off gtfoh. This site always shades Trey. I guess y’all still mad. Whatever. It actually reminds me of the Confessions video.
I loved this video. Good Job Trey!
i bet BET will have no qualms airing this…….talk about sexism
I think this is one of Treys better videos. Got a bit silly towards the end, but I like the concept and love the song.
This wasn’t a recession special. You all really need to stop with the hate. Its getting really old.
great song…but the vid aint nothing special his face at 3:43 just cracks me up
What is the point of all those damn face expressions??
@AJ
cosign..all I kept thinking is this usher?
trey songz never did it for me..
that pic, OMG always kills me..
GAY GAY GAY
ABSOLUTE NONSENSE…
next!!!!!!!!!!!
that was by far one of the worst videos I have ever seen! LMAO What in the hell is going on here? #EPICFAIL
It’s a great simple song, I think the video could’ve been more visually intriguing. It’s time for Trey to let the women characters get more shine in the videos; we’re not so enthused by your multiple facial expressions and stressed out poses.
That was actually good video. TGJ is trippin. This so wasnt recession budget and he was fully clothed for the most part.
i like the song although some time when i hear trey sing on a track it sounds like he’s being lazy with the vocals, when i compare his vocals to Usher, R Kelly & they just sing with so much more emotion in songs like this. As for the video how many video can you make with girl practically naked looking like your have s** it seem like he wants the world record, there are so many way to make a great video but he seem stuck repeating the same tired concept which is not gonna get your video in mainstream TV.
this n**** know he gay
LOL…”R&B pin-up”….LOL 🙂
WTH was going on @1:01? He really was looking half way crazy! But really, the song & video are okay. He has a bit more of a budget I see so his videos have improved. Unfortunately, he has been typecast (a crime of his own design) as the “s** guy” so is anyone really surprised at his constant over sexualized videos?
I didnt like it. But didnt need Sams negativity to help me make my mind up. Sam ur a loser. u need 2 stop cussing these artists out. even wen ur right! yes i actually agree with ur position on treys tired use of sexual imagery to sell records. but seriously didnt require ur 2pence 2 lead me to that decision… its not professional jounalism… at all. end.
I actually like the video. Its very different for Trey andhe was not unclothed. You making it seenm as if he was pulling a D’Angelo. He was shirtless for like a minute and a half. Most of the video is the shots of him stressing about the girl with his shirt on. I Invented S** is still his best video and I think this is up there with it.
I LOOOVE the song and the video is cool. You guys have to understand…Trey Songz doesn’t appear to be a dancer so in that sense he is somewhat limited to what he can do in a video. (We are spoiled because most male r&b singers dance). But at the same time some of you people are just OVERLY critical. Always saying “I don’t like” or “He could of done better” or something that is negative. The question is what are YOU doing? Nothing…EXACTLY. So who are YOU to judge somebody that is actually DOING SOMETHING???
this video wasn’t that bad at all. TGJ is a mess….and their information be ALL AWF! How is it struggling to make an impact on HOT 100…when it’s sitting pretty at number 22?
Weak song and weak video
Me no likey 🙁
Im sorry but i have to laugh at this whole image that tray thinks he has i use to love him his old music before all the “s**” went to his head i wish some will kick his ass off his high horse because its starting to get old…………
It was ok. I like the song but the video is average. It was toned down copared to his othe s**-charged songs/videos. All in all, it was just ok.
I never liked this dude ever
ummm trey is giving me that jason derulo feel and thats not a good thing 🙁
hes jus wack now , he got caught up in the hype
Not a fan of him (Real Not) but this video was cool , kinda original and absolutly not a recession / cheap video ! like REALY not cheap !!!
I agree with the first comment ! Realy !
BEYSBETTER actually it’s #27 on billboard. It peaked at #22.
Y’all are so funny, TGJ be hatin on Trey 24/7 and sayin that Bottoms Up is struglling to make an impact on the Hot 100! Y’all need to check your sources and take notes cause it debuted at 22 #SITCHYOURASSESDOWNTRENTANDSAM! YUUUUUUUUUUUP!
^^Agreed. I don’t think being the highest debuting single of the week (at #22) is “failing to make an impact.” Stop hating TGJ!!
Anyways, back to this video:
Dear Trey Songz,
I love almost everything you do and I’m probably one of your biggest fans. I even loved this video… until about the last 10 seconds. WTF was that????
Am I the only one that found it more than a little creepy? :S
P.S. Lol, if this whole illuminati thing is real, please please please pleaseeeee don’t join? Usher’s new pop thing isn’t working for me;l I haven’t liked Chris Brown’s recent MUSIC; I loved R. Kelly back in the day, but his new music just isn’t as good (apology to his stans- jmo!); And I can’t survive on just Ne-yo, Mario, and whoever else is left.
P.P.S. You can do sooo much better than Bottoms Up. But I’m loving Doorbell, Love Faces and all of the rest of the leaks I’ve heard. But I’m definitely still buying the album. #PassionPainPleasure914
ITS AN OK VIDEO TO BE FAIR.

TRENT I ADORE U. U BE HAVING ME CRACKING UP ON HERE AND TWITTER!!!!
Trey is the definition of LAME. I try to take him serious but I’m sorry. I JUST CAN’T!! He thinks he’s hotter than he is & he’s always singing like a goat straining to take a s***. #PrinceSideEye I also get h.o.m.o vibes from him. Video is mediocre, song is mediocre.
Flop Songz
This is the kind of the song which just needs the perfect video to become a hit. But the video is plain silly. The naked girl, clueless.
Trey, please go back to your “Can’t help but wait” days. STAT.
MISHKA
Goat Songz is done
Goat Songz, I’m not her for your gimmicky ways.
I’m here for raw talent like your MASTER R. Kelly. So dropping a video the same day he debuted his won’t cause anything. It will only prove to the public that you’re nothing but a bird chest n*gga that made your way up with image.
WTF TGJ ITS SAYING VIDEO REMOVED! >=( Oh well judging by the comments i didnt miss much lol. I guess im gonna have to mosey on over to see Kellz video.
PS
Am I the only 1 who noticed Sam and Trent just HAPPEN to post Trey and Kellz video on the same day <_< lol
See the panic mode has set in! Trey’s camp said that his vocals and video can’t out duel R Kelly’s video, guess what they pulled Goat Songz- Baa Baa is more like Boo Hoo Hoo crying goat singing n****
Shut up sam. Leave trey alone.
chris has the #1 movie and the #1 single in america he just tweeted yall don’t know how much that means to me.
Changed my mind. The more I watch it, the more I like it.
Lol, it truly represents the concept of him going crazy. I think it’s very creative and not overly sexual.
Again, stop hating TGJ!!. It’s unprofessional (if you want to be taken seriously). If you’re trying to be subtle (ex. “R&B pin-up;” “unsurprisingly;” ) you’re failing hard. You’re also often completely off the mark (ex. “failing to make an impact on the Hot 100- it was the highest debut last week at #22!).
You’re so biased, it’s ridiculous! You may not like the video, but do you really think it is reasonable to call it “rubbish?”
Lol thanks for clarifying because I thought I had heard it had moved up the billboards fast and its like in the top 20 on the rnb charts. Its also doing good on itunes. I wonder why he said it was failing on the charts when its not.
wow, sweet dreams by beyonce and usher confessions combined. i can’ relate to this song, but I really wish someone else sung this song. ummmm his voice was okay, the video okay…idk…. just trey again i mean try again try.
the song is a flop, number n56 on the charts
