It appears that international US R&B singer, Trey Songz came to Ghana with one thing on his mind; that is to inspire Ghanaians to believe in themselves, and work hard toward achieving their dreams – and well perhaps to find himself a girlfriend as well. Song after song, he gave inspiring messages to the audience and occasionally blurted out that he is single and looking for a girlfriend during his headlining performance at the much anticipated Vodafone 020 Live Concert.

Using himself as an the example, the artist who first found fame with his inspirational hit song, ‘Gotta Make It’ featuring Twista, had a lot of such interactions with the crowd. In the middle of performing ‘Successful’ he made the following remarks also: “I may be no inspirational speaker but when I look out there I see beautiful and I see black. Now this is a blessing for me, to be able to perform in front of my people and the love that you have all shown me, I will never forget. And I will not feel good about myself if I leave here without inspiring each and every one of you. So when you wake up in the morning and you look into the mirror, say ‘I love myself’, because I love you all back!”

Trey Songz certainly had a successful concert and the reaction from the Ghanaian crowd to both the songs they knew and the ones they weren’t familiar with was simply amazing. Although there was a long wait in changing over from Dbanj’s band, the crowd waited patiently till Trey finally came on stage to hit them with back to back performance for almost two hours. there? Laugh out loud! Anyway, let’s see what happens next year when the Vodafone 020 Live concert returns!
