The two people that I am writing about on my comparison and contrast essay are Chris Brown and Trey Songz. They are my favorite singers. The first person I’m going to write about is Chris Brown. He’s really a good teenage singer.

He’s a lot like the 18-year old boy living in the house next door to you: one minute he’s five-foot-seven, the next he’s six-foot-one. One minute he’s a cute little boy trying to dribble a basketball, the next a superstar point guard. One minute he’s ducking under the covers pleading for five more minutes of eye-shut, the next he’s racing through a day full of recording, performances and interviews. With his easy-going demeanor and schoolboy charm, Chris Brown could easily be somebody that you know. Straight from Tappahannock, Virginia---population 2,000- Chris Brown proves that real talent, persistence and charisma still have a place in the music industry. One listen to Chris 18-year old voice and you’re tempted to draw comparisons, Michael Jackson, Tevin Campbell, and usher. His debut CD “young love” takes us on a journey through the malls, parties and teen hangouts as Chris covers a variety of subjects: a girl that he’s dying to hit the dance floor with. A girl that’s got another man. A girl that has him totally and completely head over heels in love. It’s an album about young boys, young girls--young love. The first single, “run it”, is an irresistible up-tempo dance joint with an attention-grabbing hook. The slightly braggadocios “gimme that” finds Chris running down his credentials to a hottie. “Yo”, a song simply about a boy seeing a beautiful girl that he can’t allow to escape his grasp. From the vocally acrobatic “your man ain’t me” to the tender, ponderous “Is this love” to the naughty “poppin” (a tribute to young lady’s physical attributes), Chris Brown explores the many colors of life and love as a teenage boy and he does so without being too infantile or too raunchy he is the perfect singer.
The next person is Trey...
