Is That...??

I am by no means a star struck type of individual…I mean I’m Stacey-“Hollywood”, I’m a star myself darnit…folks should be running down the street for my autograph right? Ok so I’ve signed a few but you can’t stop for everyone :) ...Anyways back to the story here…

So I’m sitting in Church (one of my sorority sisters that I met out here suggested hers) and having a joyous time listening to the choir, praising God, really enjoying myself and the service when I happen to look over and a lady singing up there reminds me of someone…I focus my attention and say to myself…”Is that..?? Nah, can’t be her, this is a small church in the suburbs of LA, people have already told me where all the stars go and from my recollection it’s not here”. So I continue to sing along and clap my hands but my eyes keep drifting to her cause something in my gut is telling me that it’s her...I don’t want to stare but I just need to figure it out or it’s gonna drive me crazy. So church continues and then there is a song that comes up and the pastor hands her the mic...As soon as she begins to sing I know for a fact…It’s her! Its one of my all time favorite female singers…Chante Moore !!

Now everyone knows I love music, and am a total R&B fan and I have loved Chante’s style, voice and song selection since the Precious album. “Straight Up”, “It’s Alright”, “Chante’s got a man”, “Old School Lovin”, “Bitter”, “Love’s taken over”, “Train of Thought”, The whole “Things that Lover’s Do” Album with her husband R&B singer Kenny Lattimore

and my all time classic favorite : “Candlelight & You” with Keith Washington are just a few of the hits on my Ipod as we speak-(go to her site right now to hear some of her songs-it plays automatically, and some of the ones I mention above are on there, plus she has a new album coming out soon www.chantemooreonline.com)!!

Ya’ll know I’m cool so I don’t even go up to her but it just seems so weird to be in a city where you run into people you’ve seen on TV or in movies or heard on the radio..and it could be anywhere-church, the grocery store, the mall, the beach. Just this past Sunday I had another “Is that..??” moment and once again I was correct. Same church and I see James Pickens Jr, the man people know as Dr. Richard Webber on Grey’s Anatomy

But then again, this is LA, home to the stars they say and I better get used to it…
