Trey and the Blueprint 3 tour prepare to take a bite out of the Big Apple. Trey wants to make sure he represents at Madison Square Garden, since NYC is Jay-Z’s hometown. Jay definitely makes sure the paying customers in his city get their money’s worth. Along with Trey and Jay, they get Jeezy and most of Young Money, including Lil’ Wayne.
At the risk of sounding like a hater, it’s just a little insulting that NYC got all the love, while DC was treated to Trey with a sore throat; but I digress…
Trey’s voice is much better in the latest episode, and I guess that’s all that counts. He’s surrounded by his family, friends and fellow celebs like Diddy, actress Gwyneth Paltrow and LeBron James. His mom and execs at Atlantic Records are also there. It’s like a family reunion.
After he does his thing on stage, Trey takes a spot in the audience to watch the other artists rock. “I’m a student of music,” he said as he watched and learned from the others.
It’s nice to see a celebrity with enough humility to stand in the crowd and be a fan for a minute. That’s why we like Trey.

Has Trey’s partying caught up with him? His camp, including manager Kevin Liles, is less than impressed with what they heard on stage in DC. Liles confronts Trey about it, but he doesn’t seem too phased as he continues to stuff his face and even bottoms-ups a bottle of wine.
Luckily, his next show isn’t until a few days later. So, if he can catch some rest and save his voice, then he should be 100% … we hope. The next stop is Madison Square Garden.
Once Trey arrives in NYC, he spends some time with his fans at a bowling alley. He doesn’t mind knocking over a few pins, but his adorers are more interested in getting a few hugs. “I’m a part of their lives,” Trey recognizes.
Let’s hope he remembers their high expectations when he next hits the stage.
Will he do a good job in NYC?

I would think that one of the best parts of being a celebrity is the fans. It must be nice to have folks gushing love on you every time you walk down the street, sending you encouraging letters, selling out arenas to watch you perform and blogging about your greatness.
In the second episode of “My Moment,” Trey surprises one of his fans at her home. I’m sure when she signed up for the contest to win a visit from Trey, she was hoping she’d get a bit of notice and not be surprised in her hair rag and house clothes. SMH … talk about a dream turning into a nightmare.
Anyway, we also see the downside of fan worship as Trey worries about going to a club in Atlanta. His bodyguards are on high alert. Trey stays in his designated area in the club, just in case something pops off, or a crazed fan goes stalker on him.
I guess it’s like real life in that you have to take the good with the bad. Trey’s finally reaching his goals. He’s got legions of fans, but he can’t walk across the street without bodyguards. Is it a fair trade off? Only Trey can say for sure, but I don’t think he minds. After all, he can hire someone to run his errands.

Rumor has it that Trey Songz is poised to take over the R&B throne. No disrespect to the aging Usher or embattled Chris Brown, but with three top-selling albums to his credit, a million-dollar smile and a pretty clean image so far, it really might be Trey’s moment.
His latest album, “Ready,” pretty much sums it all up. What’s he ready for? Well, in episode one of “My Moment,” Trey’s ready for what he calls “the biggest tour of my life.” As he sets out to go on the road with Jay-Z and Young Jeezy, the cameras catch him rehearsing, doing media tours, selecting clothes and doing all that comes with his celebrity status.
Those of us that work real 9-to-5 jobs don’t always think of what celebs do as work, but seeing Trey puttin’ in his 110% makes me a little more respectful of what they do. It’s not just parties, club appearances and a few hours in the studio. Trey’s out to make history and be on top.
As he said, “There’s somebody at home right now who wants what I got,” and he’s tryin’ to hold on to his.
