Stella Soleil and The Go Go's in Florida
Stella in Florida These are pictures from Ft. Lauderdale and Orlando. Ashe was so kind to drive me around while I visited for the shows, we had a good time :) Cici and Frankie and Ben were really cool. Cici was the backup singer, she was so sweet, she mentioned that the fan club web page helped her in deciding if she was going to p
erform with Stella, she learned all she needed to know about Stella :) Frankie played the guitar, he rules, very sweet. Ben was the DJ, it was surprising seeing a DJ but it sounded really cool.It was really different going from last seeing Stella as Sister Soleil and seeing her perform as Stella Soleil, but she still had the same energy, same personality and she had a blast on stage. Even managed to pull me up on the stage, which was exhilarating, Stella was always known well to bring her fans on the stage but that was usually small venues, I had no idea she was going to pull me up on the stage and have me sing along to The Go Go's "Kids in America" sadly I didn't know all the words, after that Stella sang "Stand Up" and we were trying to get everyone to Stand Up...and well the crowd was a tough crowd, and the sound wasn't the best, it was in a small coliseum and in order to even understand what Stella was singing was if you already knew the songs, she sounded great but a lot of people in the front couldn't hear, they set the sound up badly but, it was frustrating for Stella but she made the best of it, what can you do when you are performing in front of a big crowd and just trying to focus on just that and the crowd. The show in Orlando was much better, Ash and Alyssa and Jake
and I had to go through hell to even get into Hard Rock Live, everyone was waiting in line to get their passes to see the Go Go's and we just wanted to go see Stella, after about an hour we finally got in and we went and saw her, got to meet Stella's best friend Krys, and her husband, they were all really cool, I had seen so many pictures of them at Stella's flat in London and Stella called Krys like everyday when she was in London so it was nice to meet the important people in her life. We got to talk for a little bit and than we had to go out up front, we couldn't take pictures, security was tight, I managed to sneak a few, but they didn't turn out too well, the pictures I have on here are Ash's pictures, some are mine. So here you go....there are more goodies to come, just keep looking.
