I. What’s your most embarrassing moment on stage?

Shan Q: My earring fell off during the beginning of a performance. When I went to the other side of the stage, I tripped over my earring and fell on my face. It was pretty embarrassing. I got up and kept going; kept going hard.

Jazz: We had a show a few months back here in Atlanta and we were performing “Go Crazy”, and we ran off stage. We was feeling the music, feeling the crowd, and I ran a football field away from the stage. I forgot we had to do the rest of the show. I ran back to the stage, but I was so far, I missed the cue to get back on stage, but I got back into though.

Chanel: I really haven’t had any as far as doing big shows, but we did a showcase years back, and I had a clip-on pony tail. I was getting my ‘ring the alarm’ on, and my pony tail fell out. I guess I was swinging it a little too hard and it fell out; it was hilarious.

II. Most dudes would be surprised to know what about you?

Chanel: I think that they would be surprised at my hard work ethic.

Jazz: I am not girly girl as I seem to be. I like to get my hands dirty and go camping and love being outside.

Shan Q: Most guys would be surprised to know that I have a crazy shoe game. I am a ‘Sneaker Head”.

III. When was the last time you cried?

Shan Q: Like two weeks ago, from my mom.

Chanel: I am not really a big crier, but about two or three weeks ago.

Jazz: I don’t cry about anything. I am open with myself and I know how to identify my emotions. I cried a few days ago.

IV. Would you rather buy a new outfit or pay your rent

All: Pay the rent!

V. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Shan Q: Headlining our own tour.

Chanel: I agree with Shan Q, I would love for us to be headlining a tour.

Jazz: Building our corporation. We’ll be renting out some big high rise in New York; making some business deals.

VI. Destiny’s Child or TLC?

Shan Q: I will say TLC

Chanel: I am going to play both sides of the fence. TLC because of their youthfulness and their goofiness. Destiny’s Child because their vocals are flawless.

Jazz: I would have to say Destiny’s Child, only because I am a Beyonce fan. That’s my girl. I couldn’t be a real Beyonce fan and not say Destiny’s child, but I love TLC.

VII. What’s the first thing you want to buy when you get your first large lump sum of money?

Jazz: I want to pay out my college loans!

Chanel: I am going to buy a house first, and then I’m going to buy my truck.

Shan Q: I have to buy my Mom a house, before I buy my house. I then really want to invest in something, like open up a dance studio.

VIII. What song or artist is on repeat on your iPod?

Shan Q: I love this artist from LA, her name is Jazzy. She is dope. She is underground and I’ve been listening to her for years. Look out for her.

Jazz: I would have to say Janelle Monae. I listen to her everyday

Chanel: What’s on repeat right now in my car is Gucci Mane, “Lemonade”; (sings) ‘Lemon Pepper Wings with a Freeze Cup’.

IX. Extensions or natural?

Shan Q: Natural! I love weave but natural’s better

Jazz: I would say natural because my hair is actually natural. I don’t have a perm or anything in it. I like the feel of my hair.
Chanel: I would say weave because I love for my hair to grow. It’s easy to maintain. Plus my hair grows faster when it’s braided up. So, to keep it healthy, I will just wear the weave.
