Whip My Hair

I think I've just been formally introduced to the flyest 9 year old on planet Earth...lol. I already was in love Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair" single but the video just pushed me over the top. With her edgy music and style she could be Rihannna's little sister. Check it out and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Labor Day weekend

This past weekend I hopped on the greyhound and rode to Washington DC to visit an old but new friend for a few days. I was exhausted after working 3 nights straight so driving wasn't an option. Taking the greyhound wasn't bad at all. It was kind of nice just sitting for 4 hours and not having to battle traffic.

Friday evening we ate at a cute little vintage pizza bistro in China Town called matchbox. I absolutely loved the space and design. They even have an outdoor deck that would be perfect for a breezy summer night. We had the 3.6.9 mini burgers as an appetizer and the chicken pesto pizza for dinner. It was ok considering my friend promised me it would the best thing ever. He actually said that about pretty much everything he wanted me to try this weekend...lol. We hung out at home for the rest of the night (on the most comfortable couch ever) watching Season 3 of Dexter. He's trying to get me caught up since Season 5 starts in a few weeks.

Saturday night we went to see "Mr. Steal Your Girl", my baby daddy, Trey Songz, perform at Constitution Hall. Monica opened the show and I was quite impressed... the girl can blow!! I also enjoyed her background singers and dancers who kept the crowd going as she changed outfits. I forgot what a fan of hers I am as I rocked with her from 'Just One of Dem Days' to 'So Gone' to 'Love All Over Me'. Trey did his thing (OF COURSE!!). I can't wait for his new CD, Passion, Pain and Pleasure to come out next week. He did a number of new tracks at the concert and I'm already in love. I was so jealous of the girl he brought on stage for the massage *sigh* maybe next time...lol. We ended the night at Lux Lounge for a little dancing and a few drinks.

Sunday we headed to MD to my Uncle Willy's house for a BBQ. Nothing beats family, BBQ hot dogs and Beres Hammond playing in the background. Later on that night I finally got to see Takers and I loved it. Just think Set it Off, Ocean's 11 and the Italian Job all rolled into one. Let's not forget the cast of some of the finest men ever...lol.

Unfortunately Monday rolled around and after brunch at an Ihop in VA, it was time to head back home to NY. I had a really good weekend and can't wait to see ummm... DC again in a couple of weeks...lol

Yo Side of the Bed

Just in time for Memorial Day, Trey Songz debuted his new video for Yo Side of the Bed and this one is truly a tear jerker. It's so refreshing to see a music video with a totally different concept, something that is reality for many women and men, especially while our country is still at war (believe it or not). So while you're out enjoying your Memorial weekend at a BBQ, partying, or at the beach, lets not forget the men and women who have lost their lives for the freedom and liberties we take for granted.

Ok, so enough with that "proud to be an American" stuff and watch my boo get all emotional in a sexy way.

PS- I love that he's playing a devoted, married man in this video. His monogamy is such a turn on...lol

Blessed and highly favored

I don't know about you but I serve a good God! A God who understands my tears and even reads my blog. Remember last night I wrote about being sad and my overall feelings of melancholy? Well the Lord heard my cry because he woke me up feeling anew. I woke up with a peace and happiness in my heart, something I haven't felt in a while. I'm a person who gets more from music than from an actual sermon (my mother would kill me if she heard me say that) and this morning the Lord was in charge of my Pandora because the first song that played was Mary Mary's Yesterday and throughout the morning as I ate breakfast, dressed, and even drove to church, He didn't stop ministering to me in song. Even the choir's musical selection but into perspective how good God is to me. How he continues to protect me, how he steps right in on time. I have too much to be thankful for, too much to praise Him about to be depressed. Yes I'm blessed and highly favored and I will not allow the devil to steal my joy...again (lol).

Unthinkable

I've always loved Alicia Keys. I know all her CD's back to front but she really out did herself with her latest single Unthinkable from The Element of Freedom. The song is so dope, the lyrics are bananas (good job Drake). It makes me think of a certain person and what we could have *sigh*.

Why give up before we try

Feel the lows before the highs

Clip our wings before we fly away

I can't say I came prepared

I'm suspended in the air

Won't you come be in the sky with me

Trey Day

Yesterday my friend Clejoi and I braved the wind and the rain and headed downtown to see my boo Trey Songz perform live at the Roseland Ballroom. Thankfully the doors were already open when we got there so we didn't have to wait outside. I wasn't familiar with the venue so I had no idea it was standing room only unless your tickets said mezzanine (although I didn't see that option on ticketmaster). Nevertheless I had on my comfortable boots and nothing was gonna stop me from enjoying the show.

The show was scheduled to start at 8pm but the sign at the ticketbooth said Trey wasn't coming out till 9:30! DJ Dee Nice was on the one's and two's warming up the crowd. Too bad it was mostly girls so not too much dancing took place.

Finally the stage darkened and Mr. Tremaine Neverson revealed himself and the crowd went madddd including quiet, little reserved me. I normally don't go nuts over celebs but I'm sorry this man does it for me. I couldn't help screaming, stopping my feet, and waving my arms in the air. He started off with Can't Help But Wait and took it back to I Gotta Make It and even tracks from his mixtape Anticipation (only his real fans know about that) not to mention songs he was featured on like Summer in Miami and Girl Tonite. Fabolous came out and performed Say Ahhhhh and the place went nuts. His latest CD FINALLY went gold and Kevin Lyles and Andre Harrell came out to present him with his plaque and revealed his new Vibe cover for the April/May issue. He thanked his fans for our continued support and encouraged us to follow our dreams and don't let anyone or anything stand in our way.

Trey Songz knows how to put on a show. He can sing, his band was dope, and his stage presence is incredible. I would definitely pay to see him again, he has a fan (perhaps even a groupie) for life.

Trey Songz

There is no shame in my game. I'm in love (well lust) with Mr. Tremaine Aldson Neverson aka Trey Songz. I remember the first time I heard him on the radio. It was his answer to R.Kelly's Trapped in the Closet. I instantly fell in love with his soulful voice which reminded me of R. Kelly's. When his first CD, I Gotta Make It dropped in 2005 (I had just moved to Tampa), I copped it and it never left my car! My two favorite tracks off this CD are Comin for You and All the Ifs. Next up wasTrey Day and Missin' You and Can't Help But Wait were on constant repeat. Between these two CD's it bothered me that my man wasn't getting the recognition he deserved. Who else had his swag, his voice, and his look (esp his look...lol). But finally the world has seen what I've been saying all along, Trey Songz is the man! His new CD Ready is his best yet, both lyrically and on the charts. I've seen him develop his own style, identity and original sound after a period of emulating other R&B artists before him. He has also matured with his lyrics. This time around he's a lot more subtle when describing sexual situations and acts and a lot less corny, less cliche, and just less lame. I hate that he hasn't gone platinum yet!!

So yes I'm a self proclaimed Trey groupie. I have never seen him live but I really want to. He's performing at the end of the month at the Roseland Ballroom so whoever wants to go hit me up because I want my chance to scream and throw my hands in the air when he asks, " Which one of yall going home with Trigga?"....lol
