Frenchie Davis |
|
|
by Michael Shinafelt |
|
| Frenchie Davis, the name brings many things to mind. After stealing the national spotlight on the first season of NBC's "The Voice" as a Top Four Finalist, as well as season two of "American Idol," her single "Love's Got a Hold On Me" is currently a Billboard Dance Hit Smash. She is currently working on her debut LP, "Just Frenchie," a collection of original material written specifically for her. Having conquered Broadway as a cast member of "Rent" and the Grammy-nominated revival of "Ain't Misbehavin," Ms. Davis has it going on. |

Valarie Pettiford |

|
by Michael Shinafelt |
|
| Valarie Pettiford is that rare breed, a triple threat. From the stages of Broadway to the sound stages of Hollywood, she has charmed audiences with her performances. A Fosse-trained dancer, Pettiford was Tony nominated for her work in the musical revue "Fosse," which paid homage to her mentor. As an actor, she is most recognized as Big Dee Dee Thorne on the hit sitcom, "Half and Half," and Aunt Geneva, whose rehearsal dinner musical number in "Jumping the Broom" pretty much stole the show from her co-stars. |

Dating bewilders her, futuristic music excites her – and art is how she expresses it. To all of you strange creatures out there who don't know who Marie is, well, it's time to get to know her. |

That Rogue Romeo |
|
|
by Michael Shinafelt |
|
| Romeo, Romeo, where for art thou "That Rogue Romeo"? Well, his name is Kevin Stea and he's right here and now. Kevin is quite ubiquitous and gets around. You may remember him from Madonna's "Blonde Ambition Tour," where he was not only a back-up dancer, but co-choreographer and dance captain for it as well. He also had a featured role as one of the dancers in the Las Vegas show "Goddess," featuring Cristal Connors, in the camp classic "Showgirls". |
