So Trey Songz has been in the game for a minute now yet he still don't measure up to the statues of Usher or Chris Brown...especialy if he is going to be an open act yet again for Usher on his tour, do you guys feel like Trey took Chris breezy's spot? in a sense ever since that incident of him and rihanna, trey songz blew up and became world wide known RNB artist with yet to get a platinum album and still remaine to be an open act for mainstream artists like jay z and usher.

I think Trey has a unique voice, deffinelty not the best voice cause at times it is annoying but maybe it should say something if after 10 years in the game he still yet to break through and really blow up worldwide and actualy own his own tour instead of playing an open act for Usher at the age of 25 of his career, no shade im sure its gonna be an awesome R&B tour but jus saying.

what are your thoughts on that?

:)

    I mean....even Jill Scott opened for Maxwell.

    It just all depends on who the bigger name is.

    You could make the argument that Trey Song is bigger than Usher now

    Trey bigger than Usher? We already know that Usher's fans support him. He had a double plat album. Trey's fans? Not so much. They didn't even make his last album platinum so how can he headline his own tour when he can't even get them to buy records? That hype machine makes you think Trey is at the top of the game.

    Why should Usher alternate anything with Trey? That man doesn't even have a tour to open for which is most likely why he is an opening act.

    Oh and no I don't think Chris' situation had anything to do with Trey getting the recognition that he has. Maybe more time slots opened up for him?

    You obviously speaking out of ignorance since Usher pulled show after show after show this past year before this tour even came on and btw he toured asia in packed stadiums, he made an album which went platinum in less than 6 months from its release date btw and right now he goes on tour in usa after touring the whole world in fests so what the hell are you talkin about? check your sources before you put any ? out.

    Prime example of a hate thread but the threadstarter will be quick to say its just their opinion. Usher been out for about 15 years, Trey Songz about 5. Usher is the bigger name yet he should be opening for Trey is what you're saying.

    that's even more reason why Trey Songz can't headline a tour and Usher can and continues to...Trey Songz album sales don't match up to the hype around him, the numbers prove it...I doubt Trey Songz could sell out a headline tour performing in 20,000-30,000 seat places and even some stadiums...Trey Songz hasn't gotten to the point yet where he can sell out stadiums...Usher has over 10 years of hit records plus all the new stuff from his last album...this tour is good exposure for Trey but he is right where he needs to be, the opening act

    ppl in here hate trey songz, lol.
    like i've said b4, ppl act like the king of r&b but he isn't b/c his albums sales suck, he's a watered down version of r. kelly, and his performances are pretty boring.

    Why is being an opening act for someone like Usher a bad thing?You acting like he on tour with the Dream or Mario.Also Trigga can't take Breezy's spot they are different kinds of rnb singers.

    Maybe he doesn't wish to have his own tour or hasn't been given the green light to do so.
    We don't know.

    I haven't seen a Trey hate post in here yet. Just mostly facts.

    And just to co sign someone else, opening for Usher isn't exactly a terrible act.

    Even if he couldn't now, I believe he has before. Usher is the bigger name. Fact. How many butts is Trey really putting in the seats? Not half. Them being on tour together helps both of them but more so Trey.

    No the ? he isnt.

    in the pas year Usher got 5 top 40 singles and a # 1. Not to mention his album is platinum, where it took Trey just a year to go gold.

    Usher is bigger due to his Pop Star status, whereas Trey hasnt crossed over yet
