Last week, Lil’ Mo and Michel’le previewed season three of TV One’s hit series, “R&B Divas: LA.” Now Chanté Moore and Stacy Francis weigh-in with their perspective on what to expect. Let’s just say…there will certainly be some belting in the air and shade on the grass.

Last season found Moore mourning the loss of her brother, the anniversary of her mother’s death and a child custody battle with her ex-husband, Kenny Lattimore. The personal drama spilled over into her interactions with fellow cast members who found her to be cold, distant and calculating. According to Moore she’s back to make peace with the divas, promote new music and her book Will I Marry Me?

Although Francis is a veteran in the music industry, an original member of the 1990s girl group Ex-Girlfriend and a X Factor USA finalist, her personal life has made more headlines than her music. A few days before Whitney Houston’s death, she reportedly got into an altercation with the legendary singer. But Francis is looking to put the drama behind her and focus on new music including her single “I Still Believe” and skin care and clothing line.

Prior to their February 11 premiere Moore and Francis share with us their thoughts on everything from mistakes in love to calling out a few divas for bad behavior.

Chanté Moore on Chrisette Michele quitting and Claudette Ortiz not returning to the show:

“I wasn’t happy that now things were in sync that she quit it was disappointing. I didn’t want her to go. Claudette and I were good friends. Off-camera she was cool but on-camera she was a bit self-conscious. Sometimes the camera can be petrifying and make you think about all you say before you say it and you can be mechanical because of that. It’s not easy to let your life play out for the camera. So I can understand why it made her self-conscious.”

On the new divas

“I don’t know Stacy Francis as well. I never heard of her before. I knew she was on X Factor and that’s all I know about her. Brave is a sweet girl. It’s wonderful to have someone like her because Claudette Ortiz is no longer here on the show and it’s a similar spirit. She is tall and beautiful as well.”

On learning from her mistakes in love

“I understand now it is a process when I go back to my life and see how I made mistakes and married and looked for love. I was making choices and knowing in my gut they were wrong choices but I did it because I didn’t want to hurt the other person. I learned to be true to myself. I know a lot of women go through the same thing. That’s why my music is about opening my heart and life to people to help them see they are not alone. I want to encourage women that when you lose love and make decisions that don’t look great to get back up and move forward.”

Stacy Francis on checking a few divas

“I am opinionated and can be fiery and feisty. But overall I have a good heart and intentions. I have integrity and ethics. It is difficult to have that in some of the environments because some of the girls didn’t take responsibility for their nonsense and I called them out on it. I don’t appreciate being in a group and people not being forthright. What I love about Leela is she wears her feelings on her sleeve and Lil’ Mo does too. Brave is one of the most diplomatic and beautifully spirited people. I didn’t have beef with Chrisette [Michele]. The problem I had with her is that it’s hard walking into a situation when you don’t know people and you think you do.

One of the girls said I came to interrupt her life. But you’re not that important to me that I’d come here specifically for you so let’s not get that twisted up, Chante Moore. You got that wrong, boo-boo. I have children, I been in the business over 20 years and I belong here so don’t make it about any other thing than that.”

On tabloid drama overshadowing her talent

“We all can see it [tabloids] has overshadowed my music. I was never a boaster about my singing but I had to say ‘Let’s not forget I sing.’ I am on a singing show with others who can sign because I can sing and not because I came to start controversy. So I do know it seems like I can’t escape it but I won’t claim that.”

On resolving issues with the Houston family

“I met Whitney many times in the industry. The best thing for all of us is to honor her legacy and let her rest in peace. We have had communication with family and all is fine. The media unfortunately wants to keep the story going and I am not interested at all. It is not fair to her. We need to honor her legacy and let her rest in peace.”
