Trey Lorenz comes out of the woodwork

While watching the Michael Jackson Memorial yesterday, I wasn't surprised to see Mariah Carey covering "I'll Be There," as she did for her MTV Unplugged special nearly twenty years ago. However, I was surprised to see Trey Lorenz reemerge for a cameo in the song.

Carey even did the, "Trey Lorenz. Sing," bit in the middle just like she did in the original Unplugged (personally, I always found this demeaning for Lorenz, almost like a command for a dog).

Trey Lorenz looked great! I know Lorenz had a solo album back in the early 90's that didn't do as well as planned and that he's been doing background work in the music business ever since, but maybe this is the second coming for the guy. I personally was excited to see him appear in the song -- since I remember thinking he was cool when the Unplugged album came out. My vote is for more collaborations between Carey and Lorenz, as I think they are a great pair for duets.
