Over the weekend I went to Trey Songz concert here in Chicago. Everyone who knows me, knows I LOVE Trey Songz! I was so excited when he announced his world tour for his latest album Chapter V. I already knew I would be there no matter who would be accompanying him. He later said that Elle Varner and Miguel would be joining the tour. While I was excited about Miguel, because frankly he scares me, but I was so excited that Elle Varner would be on the tour.
I had first row seats, which gave me the full experience. FIrst up was Elle. She blew me away. Perfectly Imperfect is my favorite girly album. Its so emotional and real. She had a short set singing four songs along with a little Jay-Z tribute. She was amazing! Her voice is so powerful. I heard several people say that they were surprised by her talent and that they were going to buy her album later. Its so refreshing to see a young female singer who can really sing. She even smiled at me, probably because I was one of the only people who knew all the lyrics to each of the songs she performed but still it made me happy. I look forward to her having her own concert so I can see her perform all of my favorites.
Next was Miguel. I hate to admit this but he is a great entertainer. He was all about getting a reaction out of the crowd. He sang his but off while also managing to pelvic thrust across the stage, freak the mic, dig in his pants, spit water up and over the crowd (luckily not me) and strip out of all his shirts. He was full of energy and I enjoyed it even though I didn't know a couple of the songs because I don't listen to him frequently.He also got directly in front of me, forcing I contact with him because I wasn't paying attention to him at some point. So while he is still a creep, he's an extremely talented one. (BTW his band is so sexy!)
Last but certainly not least was my boo. He sang all his hits and almost all of his new album. His performance was entertaining and emotional like always. The love and sex was oozing from both him and the audience. He loves his fans and you can really tell when he interacts with the audience. This was my fifth, maybe sixth, time seeing him concert and I felt that this time was a tad rushed. I'm not sure if it was because he had to act before him or because he didn't change outfits, only jackets, but I was expecting more. I hope that he goes back to his old way of performing so I can really enjoy it, but he still sang his heart out which is all that matters.
I look forward to seeing all three again because I appreciate their craft and dedication to being real artists for our generation. I encourage everyone to go see at least one of these artists live. Theres nothing like actually going to a concert and experiencing it.
