Me and Trey Songz

Favourite song
I Need A Girl, the lead single from Ready, even though the guitar intro in the beginning of the sound is very irritating. Can't Help But Wait is my second favourite Trey Songz song, though I think I listen to this one more than I do listen to I Need A Girl.

Favourite album
Ready, very obviously. It is the only Trey Songz album I own in physical copy (since it is probably the only Trey Songz album that can be found physically in Singapore).

First song I heard
Can't Help But Wait, although I didn't know who performed that song at the time.

How I became a fan
I was looking through Billboard.com's Hot 100 songs, and one of them was entitled LOL :-). I found the title unusually appealing (of course it is, because of that smiley face), so I looked up Trey Songz on Wikipedia and Youtube. LOL :-) was okay, but I Need A Girl and Can't Help But Wait were really nice.

Favourite Trey Songz vocal performance
Can't Help But Wait of course. His voice was also nice in many other songs, such as I Invented Sex and Yo Side of the Bed.

Trey Songz looked best in the year
2009. His hair was really funny-looking in the previous years.
