KC Performs at ET Canada NYE Part I



KC Performs at ET Canada NYE Part 2




My verdict:

It had me hooked from the first little intro which was cute! To those of you who, like I have never seen KC live, this will be a teaser for her upcoming tour. The production itself is massive! Keshia clearly amps up her overall performance and pulled out some stops this go round.
The great things about this performance:

1.  Ambiance + set up. Four background dancers and a full band? Dancing while singing? I mean, really dancing like she used to dance in the era of her first album "Keshia Chante" type dancing. This was exactly what we were hoping for and that's exactly what we get!
2. Keshia is being herself. She's not trying to be like any of her industry contemporaries which also deserves another plus. 
3. Then there is the fact that even though she could have performed more songs from her new album Night + Day and didn't, Keshia still manages to stay in control of her voice as she dances which is another plus and not to mention she sang her tiny little butt off!

So of course this performance was pretty much perfection to me. By now you should know that I don't say what I don't mean! lol Great job KC, band and dancers!

ALBUM REVIEW: 4 CORNERS OF PROSPECTIVE: LKC & #KCRYDERS REVIEW - NIGHT & DAY PT.1

To start off 2012 with a bang, we at LKC decided to give you something a little different. There is so much that makes up each and every #KCRyder wherever you're from. But what we all have in common is our love for Keshia Chante and her incredible music that brings us together! That being said, we couldn't exactly do this with just one of us issuing out a review! It was brought to my attention that a way to make this more interesting and engaging would be to have it come from different views and aspects.

You'll get to read exactly what some #KCRyders think, as well as what we here LKC think about Ms. KC's new album from top to bottom and no stone is left unturned. This idea and concept is brought to you by our lovely and amazingly talented LKC Team Member - Cat! ( Follow her on twitter @catlilangel)

The reviews will be broken up into individual posts for easier reading instead of crammed into one. We'll have additional reviews, and when posted we'll announce them on twitter (@luvkcfansite) and facebook (Luv-KChanteMain) so keep checking back. Our first album review after the cut is courtesy of Cat. Enjoy!

RANDOM: LKC'S HOLIDAY FAVORITE RECIPES

As the new year approaches, collectively a few of us here at LKC want to share with you some of our favorite recipes for the holidays. This idea came from the fact that KC is hosting Christmas dinner with her family this year! How exciting is that? Below you can read our holiday suggestions and try them out for yourself! As additional ones added, we'll update so check back.


Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year from all of us here at the Luv-KC Family!

#KCStreetTeamMember - Music Addict Jane suggests:

"Philippino lumpia or spring rolls. They are always a fan hit. Even Porcetta... serve any kind of cupcakes or cake (specifically red velvet, hard to find: try a Italian bakery of some kind)"


You can follow Jane on twitter @MusicAddictJane

#TeamLKC Member - Albert suggests:

"Thought that I would give you all a "kool" dish/recipe for the holidays. It is a family dish from my Mama Ryder's side of the family, since she's from New Orleans. It is called the "Wiggy" Ham!

RANDOM: TOP 5 KC MOMENTS OF 2011

As 2011 draws to a close, 2012 only mere hours a way, I found it important that this year, I recap some of the best moments in regards to Keshia Chante so far this year. You may or may not agree, or you may find these top 5 moments similar to your own. That being said, here we go!


5. Keshia's 2011 Juno Award Nominations
This in itself came as an utter surprise and shock to Keshia herself who at the 2011 Juno Awards had only expected to merely attend and present awards at the nomination ceremony. Ultimately she clenched two nominations with NO ALBUM on shelves yet. Even though she was bested for Best R&B Recording of the Year 'Test Drive' & Best Dance Recording of The Year 'Table Dancer', the fact that she was nominated was surprising.

4. Keshia takes a trip with CANFAR to Kenya
As I always say, Keshia is no stranger to doing good and back in May of this year Keshia took a trip with CANFAR (Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research) to visit children in Kenya, Africa. She helped build and orphanage and got down in the trenches interacting with them and learning their stories. She said that the trip itself was forever life changing and judging by the impact it not only had on others who accompanied her, I'm inclined to agree.

3. Keshia gets verified on Twitter: @KeshiaChante
Now, this probably might sound silly or even seem pointless to most, but the fact that for the last year or so (2010 up to a few months ago) we as #KCRyders had been fighting and tweeting for KC to get that verification check... The moment that was finally verified in my eyes was actually a liberating experience, mostly because she deserved it and secondly because believe it or not there are fakes of her residing on twitter. (See fake: @MsKeishaChante).

2. Keshia's 3rd Album is finally released
Most people would say this deserves to be the #1 top 5 KC moment of 2011, but I'll tell you why for me it ranks in at #2. While I'm glad I got new music from Keshia, as would any #KCRyder be... The above is actually more important because it opens more doors. It's a solid album, however you can read my full thoughts and the thoughts of LKC team members and fans when our mass Night & Day album review post comes on Sunday!

1. Keshia hits I-Tunes... WORLDWIDE
This right HERE though... Trumps everything except KC's trip to Kenya. Awards or no awards, Twitter verification or no twitter verification... Album or no album. This right HERE is called expert marketing, it's called reaching the masses on a larger scale and I-Tunes finally stepping their cookies up and returning the legal papers and whatnot. So now you know! Keshia Chante is availble everywhere on I-Tunes, from China, to Iceland, and England and Central America, and everywhere in between! BUT! Lets not forget the good ol' US of A. #2012Takeover anyone?

RANDOM: MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM LKC!

 

Evening #KCRyders! Hope that you all are having a blessed + joyous holiday today! From all of us at LKC we wish our girl Keshia + Ray Emery, their families and friends and you all our fellow #KCRyders a very Merry Christmas today! Enjoy your friends and loved ones, have fun and be safe. Updates resume tomorrow!
