WATCH: THE NEXT STAR 5 - KESHIA VS THE BIG FOOT MASCOT

Submitted by Albert (@koolkidincash93)

Evening #KCRyders! Are you in need of a laugh after a crazy long work week? Welp, we've got just the remedy... The Next Star (Season 5)'s  top 13 kids have been chosen, along with the top 6 and are now moving on the show the judges what they've got!

This past Monday night, host Adamo recapped his favorite moments on the show thus far, with Keshia vs The Big Foot Mascot being (ding! ding! ding! you guessed it!) number one!

The Next Star (Season 5) Judges Tara Oram and Mark Spicoluk along with host Adamo Ruggiero decided to play a little prank on our girl Keshia Chante, knowing her fear of dolls and mascots. Let's just say Keshia didn't find it very funny... Poor Keesh! (cues the 'Friends' Theme Song)

Watch the clip below courtesy of YTV & @thenextstar_5!

Ps. I think ventriloquist dummies are creepy too! Ever since I saw Chuckie when I was a kid, those are a huge NO in my book! lol

NEW PHOTOSHOOT: KESHIA CHANTE PAYS HOMAGE TO 90'S R&B x AALIYAH IN NEW MATT BARNES SHOOT

Evening #KCRyders! We told you on yesterday when the Sneek Peek of Keshia's Matt Barnes photoshoot was tweeted, that the photoshoot pics would come sooner than you thought, and here they are! Our girl Keshia tweeted, and posted about the photoshoot, stating that she wanted to pay homage to both 90's R&B and the late great R&B songstress, Aaliyah Dana Haughton who is one of her musical inspirations.

She and team clearly pulled off an amazing shoot, and Keshia added her own flare style wise with the blinged out accessories! Reminds of the days when when Unpredictable first came out and she rocked a similar street style in the video. Keshia's always been known for her ability to switch up her style from glam, to 'street sweet', to couture and not even miss a beat! (No pun intended! lol) This is by far an amazing photoshoot and you can view all the photos here as well as hear famed Canadian  photographer Matt Barnes prospective on the photoshoot itself.

Is it just me or should KC rock this style in the "Hang My Jersey Up" music, (in the event that it becomes a single...).
