    Trey from the home state.....but you are not gon find a somber AND knowledgeable music lovers that will EVER
    say he on Saadiq's level.....regarding ANYTHING that has to do with music.

    With that why even bother making such an outlandish comparison???

    I love Trey Songz, but I can agree with this.

    Raphael's voice is just so much smoother...his lyrics are better....and I think the only aspect he loses to Trey in is the appeal to a younger audience.
    But, he still has his fan base that supports him whenever he comes out to do shows.

    This is a no brainer..wtf? Trey fell off in the vocals department. He can actually sing but he decides to yodel now, and its not whats up. Saadiq is a musical genius and has great tone, control and harmonics.

    R. Kelly has severely fallen off.
    I mean, "Double Up" was a joke.

    So, once upon a time--that'd be true, currently speaking--I'd say it was false.

    I can't even agree with that....unless we're only talking about R.Kelly's older music and none of his more current songs

    I've liked Chris Brown since he first came out and he's matured since then and so has his music--definitely a plus.
    His "Exclusive" album definitely got a lot of play in my car.

    Trey is one of the most overrated singer on this planet. Comparing him to Raphael is like comparing Tony Yayo to Lupe Fiasco.

    Rapheal has been in the game way before Trey ever was. What kind of comparison is this?

    haha comparing these two is ridiculous... Raphael Saadiq makes Trey Songz look like nothing. Saadiq is multitalented, and I love his music. Trey's kinda not doin it for me. I only like his new track cuz the ? Nicki Minaj verse is stuck in my head

    People tryna compare Songz with any and everybody right now just to discredit the fact that he's carrying R&B on his back right now... Cant Wait for that album Songz, keep up the good work YUP!!!

    Also add on the fact that Saadiq actually sound kinda corny on Ross album, probably one of my least favorites from a great album, and least favorite performances from Saadiq (a great artist)
