Okay I don’t know where to begin…. Ok well let’s see…. Well I’ve known Shontelle since 2007… I met her through MySpace. I was just browsing around and I found her music page. I was shocked…. to me her music was so inspirational and breathtaking. I was like wow!! I was hesitant on whether I should leave her a comment… I said “aww well what the heck.” Later on that day it said new comment and I was in shock she wrote me back. I couldn’t believe it I remember telling my friends at the time but they thought I was crazy… lol.

So as time passed from strangers… we became friends on MySpace. I would always have a smile on my face when I saw her write me back and I just couldn’t believe that she actually took time out her day to talk to me it was incredible. In 2008 lets just say I went through a very hard time in my life with a family tragedy. I needed to open up to someone so I emailed her and she gave me a lot of words of wisdom and sent me two songs to help me through this dark period. Simon Webbe – Grace and her own song “Life Is Not An Easy Road”. Long story short I got through it all and I just want to say THANK YOU Shon!!

Well I live in Houston now and my mom had told me that she heard Shontelle was coming down here for a radio station concert I was like what!!! So i tried to win tickets it was just impossible so I contacted her and she was like “I got u RL!!” I was so excited even my mom was excited.. so I was counting down the days. The day finally came and she had given me all the info I needed. I was sooo nervous… I was like come on man why are you nervous… well later on that day we got to the radio station and we were tweeting back and forth and before I knew it I was inside with all the other winners who were there to see her perform. She came out I was like “OMG!” She performed “T-Shirt”, “Licky” and “Impossible”.

After that we asked her questions and then got to meet her. She was like “hey” I was speechless I was like “hey” and gave her a big hug. We took a picture together and then my mom took a picture with her too!! She told me and my mom to wait for her on the other side…. She came back to us after the meet and greet with the other winners. She signed our CD’s and then we were talking to her for a bit. I wish I could have spoken with her more… but I knew she had to go to the next city… We took a group picture I was so shocked I forgot to smile lol. We hugged and told each other bye and that was it.

Shontelle if you’re reading this I was sooo nervous and I cant believe I was so shy even my mom told me why were you so shy. lol. I guess you can say I was star strucked…. Next time you’re in Houston i hope to see you again!! This time I wont be nervous… Thank you Shontelle for everything.

I must start off saying this was the best weekend of my life. I had the pleasure of getting to hang out with Shontelle Layne all weekend long while she was in Las Vegas.

She is the most down to earth celebrity I have ever met and she absolutely loves her fans. If you get the chance to meet her, I suggest you do so. She is truly a GEM! Thank you, Shontelle for this once in a lifetime experience.

(Thanks Trelly!)
