^5 to your response. Like another commenter I initially came to this blog thinking I'd get into interesting convos with other music lovers but unfortunately there are too many immature people here who like to get into pointless stan wars. Anyway I can't say that I am a fan of Trey. I'm an older music fan who appreciates male vocalists who sound like MEN so I paid dust to the group of young guys in Trey's age range (Bobby V, Marques Houston, Omarion, etc) because I compared them to the likes of Donny Hathaway, Luther, Stevie, Marvin, MJ, etc and found them lacking.

Trey came on my radar after he launched verbal jabs @ R Kelly. It's interesting that he said R's music wasn't progressing while now HIS fans are saying the same thing about his music. I think Trey is immature lyrically BUT is trying to give his fans music that he thinks they want to hear however nobody wants to hear a whole album about "gettin it in" unless he & his producers can switch it up and be clever about it (think Marvin Gaye's I WANT YOU album).

I don't wish failure on anybody's dream and hope that he works with producers like Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis or writers like Big Jim Wright to craft better songs that speak to more people than just his fan base. I also hope that he doesn't give up on r&b and tries to go pop/dance because that's not his lane.
