I’ve always liked Shanice (remember ‘Can you dance’?). She’s a classy broad. Never sold out the cootie cat for fame.

Shanice sure is beautiful. I wish her much success on her latest release. “I love you’re smile” is still one of my top ten favorites of all time.

always have luved Shanice. she has such a beautiful spirit and she respects herself enuf to not give in to the “sex sells” mantra. She is also very underrated. She can blow Beyonce, Ciara, Ashanti, and all the rest of these “so called singers” out the water anyday. Shanice fan 4 life! And yes #1, I remember can u dance. That was an excellent tape(old school)

@12 It’s independent so there is not going to be much marketing but it works out in the end if she does alot of shows because that’s where the money is anyway.

Big ups to Shanice. I didn’t know she had an album out either.
Much respect to her for not compromising what she believes in to sell her albums. To bad more of our artists aren’t like that, they go for what sells.
I wish her the best, much happiness and success.

Now ya’ll KNOW I was expecting to listen to the first 15 seconds of this track and write Shanice off as a TALENTED “has been” produced by some “mediocre, wanna-be on” nobody’s tryin to use what little fame SHE has left to put THEIR name in the game - Was I PLEASANTLY surprised or WHAT?
I LOVE the track, thought the video would be bootleg (a’la Khia) and even that was a decent, quality product. For that reason alone, I’m going to buy this album.
(And since she reads this site: Neicy… don’t sell out sister, stay classy and hope that the masses hear your VOICE before they look for your BREAST! - and why isn’t the record company promoting your stuff?)
I LOVES me some her!

I wasn’t able to see the video but I know it rocks because I love me some Shanice and Flex, they are good together. Flex really found himself a keeper in Shanice.
Do any of ya’ll know if there is a major label distributing or marketing the album? If so, please let a brother know so that I can speak to some of the peeps to have it in our record stores.

I like this song. I saw the video on BET some time ago. I didn’t really pay attention to all the couples there. Derek Luke really looks different. Monique’s man is fine! (Go ‘head girl!). I agree with a previous post that she should have better PR, but if you think about it all the people that claims to be her avid fans could just be the kind of PR she needs to spread the word both online and offline. Well done, Shanice!

Shanice is SO Under-rated. I remember watching some tv special she did and she and practically her Whole family can SANG!!

Chante Moore

Tamia

Shanice’s new album is the SHIT! And I’m not talking about just 3 or 4 songs, I’m talking about the whole album. I remember waking up one night and the video for Every Woman Dreams was playing on BET Late Night. Aw man, the next day I was at Tower Records trying to by the album, getting frustrated and mad, about to go off on the sales clerk, because nobody new what I was talking about. But come to find out the album hadn’t come out yet! So I felt like a fool for acting a fool, lol. I said all that to say, from just hearing that one song, I was sold! I’ve never owned an album by her however, I’ve always felt she could sing, but on Every Woman Dreams, she tore that shit up! As far as I’m concerned, there are no female singers out there right now better than her and Syleena Johnson!

Congrats CL! Nothing like some positive feedback! Anyhow I got the CD when it dropped and I love it…I appreciate the songs she has written…she has another song that’s hot called “Chocolate” or something to do with chocolate…it’s cool too!

For anybody that doesn’t know, or if you just wanna hear Shanice brake it down one good time, check out her live performance of “Yesterday” on youtube.com She killed it!!! I’m so sad her and Tamia don’t get more play cause they are such pure talents.

I’ve always been a Shanice fan. I had no idea the album had been released. I knew there was one coming but didn’t know when, I’ll go pick it up during my lunch break today. She’s always been a classy and respectable young lady. Very good role model. I’m so happy for her. Keep up the good work Shanice!!!

Add Deborah Cox to that list.
I saw the video for the first time on VH1 soul, the only channel I can stand to watch for music. I thought it was wonderful and so was the song. Shanice is still beautiful with her baby face. Happiness can do that to you. I hope her album does well. I will be getting it for sure.
I always thought celebs read sites like this all the time. Its not like they can hang out in public freely. They sit on their computers like everybody else but they google themselves.

I have always liked Shanice. She has a beautiful smile and a great voice. She and her husband seem like they love each other and treat each other well. (but, the bedroom scenes are a little too much info) for me.

Hello Shanice!
Let me first tell you that I’m your biggest FAN…even before you were married I use to post pictures of you over my bunk in the barrack. You, Anita, Faith, Deborah and Mimi helped me through some of the most fierce battles in American history. So, in a way, you were doing your part to support the troops and you didn’t even know it! hehe! I wish that the five of you could do a “Divas of Soul Reunion!”
Now, I’m don’t expect you to respond to me, because I’m not that shallow, but it would be nice to get an autographed photo and tickets to one of your upcoming shows. Just kidding! But, if you want to, just contact Angel.La and she’ll forward the tickets or t-shirts or photos to me. I’m not picky!
Okay, I know your a busy woman, so I won’t be long, but I always knew that one day I’d have an opportunity to talk to you direct. I hope that I have said something to catch your attention and if you don’t mind…can make that four tickets? hehe!
Baubye Shanice!
I love you,
Meatloaf
P.S. Do you know of any other celebs who read CL?

She’s mad pretty.
I saw her when I was like 9 or maybe younger when she had the I love your smile hit and she was a great perfomance so I dunno what happened.. The most talented people like her and tamia never get the success they should be getting.

@29–Brook..I agree. I must admit that I don’t know who Tedra Moses is but Shanice, Chanta Moore, and Tamia I’ve always thought they were under-rated and
under-represented. Speaking of which, where is Kelly Price these days?? I love Kelly–she’s pulled a disappearing act though. KELLY, if u read CL too, bring your ass outta hiding!

OK STRAIGHT UP, Shanice is one of THE most underrated vocalist in a generation. I have been a fan since the beginning when I read an article about a “up and coming” star in Right On Magazine (this was before the first album was even released). Then Vesta Williams was on BET and was talking about her label mate at the time and how she could SANG!!! I got that first album and was blown away and the rest is history.
I was fortunate enough to actually meet her in Houston in the early 90’s when I worked at Six Flags and she was so sweet and gracious.
****note**** Shanice since you read this site, know that one of my most prominent memories in life is that night in Houston. I just remember standing on the steps of the ampitheater in the light rain next to the love of my life who had recently broken it off with me, and watching you on stage SANG THE STANK OUT OF “I’M CRYING”. One of the most moving experiences of my entire life that I will never forget.
God bless and I will purchase the new CD.

# 51, Kelly Price actually lives in Houston now (and is a member of my church by the way). There is a song on the radio that is in heavy rotation by Jeff Majors that Kelly is featured on called “Gods Gift”.
Kelly is another that far from gets the props she deserves for being a great vocalist.

I LOOOOOOOVE SHANICE!!!!! I’ve been a fan of hers since I was a kid! I remember a long time ago when I was a kid I heard she was gonna be at the Macy’s Thanksgiving day parade. So I got up EARLY (and i dont get up early on days I dont have to!), got dressed and went to the start of the parade so I could meet her before the parade. But she was already on the float :o(
So I walked in the parade til the end..in the POURING RAIN, just to meet her. I must have walked 50 blocks! I was soaked and my bangs went from straight to nappy! But it was worth it cuz she was SOOOOOOOO NICE TO ME! We took pictures together and everything! that was one of the best days of my life!
HIIIII SHANICE ;o)…MEMBA ME?!?! btw…I LOVE THE COAT YOU WORE THAT DAY! LOL

Congrats CL.
Seeing this promo of Shanice angers me because as many have said she is SOOOOO under rated. Just as the other women you have mentioned, Kelly Price, Chante Moore, Tamia and Debra Cox. I wish all these women nothing but the best because they can actually SING, it’s not just about looks or sex.
For those of you that think Mariah is the only one to have a high octave please listen to Just A Game by Shanice, that girl RIPS that damn song!

I just got back from lunch and heard the song on WHUR (Washington,DC) so she’s definitely getting airtime. Maybe the program managers over there read the loop and decided it was high time. I say this because before today I never heard that song on the station and I listen to them ALL the time. Who knew?
And asbury’s right. She definitely has octave range. Turn Down the Lights is one of my favorite love songs of all time (video was banging too with Johnny Morton).

Shanice is one of the baddest singers I’ve ever heard. I don’t think there is a device that can really capture her voice…and this is real talk…I’ve been fortunate to be in the same studio and hear it for myself…unreal…and anyone that has seen her live can tell you the same…she sounds better in person…… Every Woman Dreams is a my every day rotation…support that woman matter of fact
we need to start supporting Shanice, Kelly Price, Chante Moore, Tamia and Debra Cox way more then we do….

Long time Shanice Fan. She just sold her CD 2 me with that shoutout. With her voice, I know it will be worth the money.
I think entertainers sometimes under estimate the power of these blogs/Myspace, etc. U have 2 go where the people are, and we are on the loop.

That’s tight. About time the black gossip site gets some shouts out. The other blogs be on tv, in magazine, celebrities know these ppl by name and face, about time we get some love over here. That’s what’s up. Now we need to organize a rescue mission for Remy, Golden, Khia, Hottie and any other celebrity in need of fashion help.
*Wonders if Remy reads the site….” If i ever meet her, Imma give her the address.
