TREY SONGZ LIVE IN GHANA!

This year is definitely the year for cool and sexy rhythm and blues for Ghanaian stages. Following the aftermath of Mario’s shirt-off, winding, and girl-screaming performance last month, Trey Songz landed this month to show his screaming fans that he is everything they see on screens and much more. And if there wasn’t the ever-present bevy of girls clawing the edges of the stage at the Dome, struggling to get a piece of that sexy meat, Trey may as well have kissed his career a smacking goodbye!

In an army blazer, a long-sleeved fitting grey wool shirt and sagging jeans he commenced to assure his screaming fans that “I invented sex” in a sweet and smooth play of tenor and moaning. The girls had no problem swallowing that exaggerated confession. “I need a girl”, “Can’t help but wait”, “Say Ahh,” “Already Taken”, “Keyz”, “Over (no frigging tags)” and hit song “Successful” , followed and had everyone on their feet, or standing on their chairs for a chance to see the African-American connecting with his people from his motherland and lost origins.

But Trey did not use his period on stage only to sing but also talked to his screaming fans. He advised  that “nobody can stop you from doing what you want to do” after pointing out that he’s has made it all the way out here in Africa performing on stage, after his very humble beginnings in the small town of Petersburg in Virginia. A journey which took about six years. But the cute female-hypnotist would not be complete if he did not announce his single status to the storm of hungry, hormone-driven females in the Dome that fateful night. The roar of joy was deafening and one could scoop out the hope that soared in the air as girls saw their chances to ensnare Trey Songz. Trey called for the intelligent women in the house, and informed his audience that “it takes more than beauty to win a real man, you dig?” and groaned that “I don’t wanna be a player no more”. He then proceeded to undertake some serious ad-libbing, supported by his great band, taking his audience on a journey to the different magical notes his voice could reach. The ad-libbing went to higher levels when he began to sing other people songs: Eminem and Rihanna’s “Love the way you lie”, heating things up with Kelly Rowland’s “Motivation” and Ginuwine’s “Pony” and becoming emotional with his very own “Can’t be friends”. Trey then finished this ad-libbing off quite dramatically with his head down and hands on his eyes to give his audience the impression that he was as moved as they were. Boy, what an emotional party!

But Trey was not done driving his audience to crazy bits. He went off stage, for a spell, to put on even more sexy gloves, and his next set of songs heightened the sexual tension in that huge dome.  The Trey-induced Global warming rendered the air conditioners up in there very useless. He proceeded to welcome his audience to “super-duper Jupiter love”, assuring his girl fans that “your body’s talking and I’m loving what she says”. Singing “Feeling Myself”, he mentioned again that he “ain’t no player, just a young man whose hot and body’s full of love” and raised hopes once again when crooned that “don’t ever think you ain’t got a chance/ cause if I see you and I like/ you coming with me tonight.’ That absolutely did not help the crowd pushing, pulling and fighting near the stage to increase their chances to  be seen “and liked and taken home that night”. “Holla if you need me” was definitely not left out. This selection of bump n grind was accompanied by Trey teasing his female fans, slowly taking his shirt off and slipping his hands a short way down his pants. How much crazier did he want to drive these people?

Ghanaians definitely had a blast that night despite the numerous problems. Men who brought their women were most probably ignored! But hey, it could have worked the other way round, right? It is definitely a great thing that Ghana is fast becoming the destination for these African-American achievers who pick our country in a bid to find their roots and bring Hollywood closer to us. Our only hope is that through them, Ghana’s voice would also reach their borders.

Trey Songz tweeted, "Just touched back down in America. Ghana was so good to me! Thank you so much for your love. Will not be my last time"
