"BET Presents The Encore" - KIELY WILLIAMS and PAMELA LONG INTERVIEW

The Ultimate All-Girl R&B Supergroup Comes Together in a One-Of-A-Kind Music Experiment to Become
the Next Big Musical Sensation in… BET Presents The Encore

BET brings together nine of the most memorable solo artists and girl groups from the 1990s and 2000s to form the ultimate R&B supergroup in the new original series, “BET Presents The Encore.”
Shamari Devoe (Blaque), Irish Grinstead (702), LeMisha Grinstead (702), solo artist Nivea Nash, Felisha King (Cherish), Fallon King (Cherish), Pamela Long (Total), Aubrey O’ Day (Danity Kane) and Kiely Williams (3LW) have signed on to the one-of-a-kind music experiment to become the next big musical sensation. With nothing to lose and everything to gain, these talented singers turned wives, moms, and entrepreneurs, will move in together, write new music, learn choreography, record an album, and put on a live performance. The catch? The songstresses must achieve this in only 30 days, with none of them knowing who their bandmates will be ahead of time.

To describe Kiely Williams as a “triple threat” would be an understatement! Although Kiely is known as the outspoken member of the groups, 3LW & The Cheetah Girls, she’s sold over 14 million records altogether worldwide in both groups and had gone on nation wide tours with the likes of Destiny’s Child, Miley Cyrus & N’SYNC. Kiely has been showing the world what she is made of since the age of five, when she stared in a Robert DeNiro television pilot. Kiely has proven that she is a triple threat and that she has what it takes to be successful in the entertainment industry. She has shown the world that she is a writer, actress, vocal producer an a amazing dancer.

After selling millions of records, smashing stages internationally and having millions of fans on her side, Pamela Long is looking to take the music industry by storm with her new solo project. Her familiar sound was introduced by music mogul Sean Combs, passed to Missy Elliot, Notorious B.I.G, Lil Kim, LL Cool J (and many others), which has given her a place in the industry like no other.

I spoke with Kiely and Pam about joining forces with seven other ladies to create this new superpower girl group and what it was like behind the scenes.
