Usher - There Goes My Baby

Trey Songz -Ready , but are you really?

For a while I wonder to myself when was Trey Songz going to blowup. Trey came on the scene the same time as Chris Brown &; Ne-Yo, Chris (at the time) and Ne-Yo were able to have great crossover success but trey was just an R&B dude with braids. He was nothing special as far as his image but voice wise I felt he was decent and had decent songs. His songs at the time weren’t poppy, weren’t ringtoneish just good R&B for the new school at least. But I guess Trey got tired of being in the background, even Lloyd and Bobby Valentino (remember him) were doing better than trey. But even though he wasn’t as known as the others I thought his songs were better than there’s at least Chris ,. Chris had the whole package but musically he couldn’t touch Ne-Yo and Trey. Trey day was another decent album from trey but some songs on there did hint that he was changing his sound, even with trey day he still was a nobody. Then trey cut off his braids, gain muscles and is ready. Oh really trey, well the cover of ready is basically a rip-off of D’angelo voodoo album and didn’t Marques Houston already do a D’angelo impression with naked??? I invented sex; trey is really playing that R.kelly role isn’t he?

Vibe Magazine- Trey says “People say well I hear a lot of R.kelly in your music, so what / R.kelly took Aaron Hall whole style” That is true trey but must you do the same? I was rooting for you to get mainstream success without copying others. I know that artists are influence everyone copies but trey really the LOL (: was the turning point for me. I couldn’t believe trey would put out a record like that.

I guess Ne-Yo said it best –“I like that he’s not doing the whole R&B thug thing anymore. There is no such thing; I’ve thought for a long time that he has one of the more distinct voices in R&B. It’s one of those voices that you hear and you automatically know who it is. I feel like some of his earlier songs complimented his voice a little better. But no one was really paying attention so he had to, dare I say, dumb it down.

The key sentence in bold, exactly what I did not want him to do and he did was DUMB IT DOWN. And he really dumbs it down on ready. He sounds like everyone else and that’s the problem. What happen to that boy that just gotta make it? He made it but he wasn’t true to his original self and I know at times the label does market you a certain way but trey what you doing is not different. You are taking your shirt off and singing about sex I feel like I seen this before.

But hey maybe this is you after all and if this is, it sure is nothing special. You could have been a young Maxwell or Donell Jones but no just a replacement until Usher get’s his groove back and Chris well tries to come back. I’m just waiting for you to dance now. Two times I was suppose to see trey perform, missed him the first time and he cancelled the second. It’s fine though that was in his braids days I have no interest now.


And please at the end of the day Trey’s best album is the first his most successful is ready. And I see trey releasing all these video’s like ready is producing mad hits. The only hits are I invented sex and say ahh. Songs like gotta make it , cheat on you , gotta go , ur behind , just wanna cut , wonder woman , can’t help but wait , we should be , missing you , Last time I’ll pick over say ahh , I invented sex and LOL (: any day. I’m all about artists evolving but don’t do a 360 on people Trey always sung about sex just his whole style now I feel it’s nothing new just a clone of something else at least his old image had promise not the thug image but just the type of records he was singing .

I never was a mega fan of trey, never listened to his mix tapes but I do have all three albums’ I always felt he was underrated in the past but now that trey has blown up he’s pretty overrated sadly. I have mixed feelings on the new Trey but congratulations’ Trey for becoming like everybody else.

Usher Interview on Good Morning America

Who is the Next Michael Jackson??? (Everyone's favorite tired subject)

So here we go again, people trying to find some other artist to crown the new Michael Jackson. Usher, Justin Timberlake and Chris brown all were in line to be the new Michael Jackson, now we have Quest love crowning Beyonce as the new Michael and now Rodney Jerkins crowning Lady Gaga as the new Michael. Will it ever stop!!! I see everything is back to normal now as far as the whole we love Michael fad (2009) All these artists that I mention I am huge fans of (well not Chris brown anymore , that’s another subject for another day) and I feel these artists are very talented but no where near Michael status. Why must we keep putting crowns on people, saying that they are the new this or the new that. Can’t they just be themselves and most said they are copying its called being influence people everybody feed off each other. It’s bad enough that the music industry can’t produce real talent anymore and when we do get an artist from this generation that is trying to make decent music we downgrade their talent by comparing them to a legend like Michael. It goes to show how much Michael was truly appreciated always trying to put his title on others. I’m not offended by it at all; I just feel it’s unfair to the artists from this generation. A lot of them are not even trying to become the new anything; it’s the media and fans that raise the bar higher for them.

Sadly we will never see talent like Michael again so we have to fool ourselves into thinking Beyonce is taking his place. I have a Love/Hate with this girl I tell you. I’m a fan of her but then someone hypes her up like she’s the second coming I hate her again. I’m personally over “who is the next MJ” craze. Music has gone downhill and will continue to. No matter what artists will always be compared deal with what’s out now, play an old Michael album and call it a day.

Justin Bieber on The View

Okay so this kid is Constantly trending on twitter and yeah it can get annoying but I must admit Justin's songs are kind of catchy. I don't know maybe it's because i'm a usher fan (Yeah I know it's not 2004 anymore but I still have a fondness for him) that I feel I must support him in some way. So yeah I like him but don't get it twisted I'm 22 years old so there is a LIMIT. I don't like him in that way i'm just able to Tolerate him. No hate over here Justin.

Usher - Trading Places

Baby Number 2

People Mag has confirmed
Usher is going to be a father for the second time, PEOPLE has learned.

The R&B star and his wife Tameka Foster are expecting their second child together, a source close to the singer confirms.

The couple welcomed their first child, Usher Raymond V, in November 2007. Since then, Usher, 29, has spoken publicly about how much he loves being a dad. "I'm so proud to be a father by the time I'm 30," he told PEOPLE last month. "I'd hate to be 80 years old and not be able to run with my kids. I need to still be able to do flips when they're in high school!

Usher also told Essence in a July interview that his son, nicknamed Cinco, is an "extension of his union" with Foster, whom he married in August 2007.

Recently, Foster was spotted wearing a belly-disguising outfit during Usher's Sept. 4 NFL kick-off concert in New York. The dress was "very deceiving," the source says. "You couldn't tell she was pregnant when she was sitting down."

The singer has also been busy with his charity, the New Look foundation, and a summer camp he ran for teenagers. In August, Usher told PEOPLE that being a father inspired him to give back.

"Having a child just completed the story," he said. "I already had a giving heart, and I wanted to do something to mentor children."

Usher's rep could not be reached for comment.
