Quiana Parler met Clay Aiken while they were auditioning for American Idol. If you rewatch AI2 video you will see Quiana several times on the tapes, unfortunately she did not make the cut but ended up becoming one of Clay's backup singers on his tours.

Yesterday Quiana gave birth to a baby boy, named him Chamberlain Malik Moore. A very LARGE name for such a tiny tyke, but he will grow into it. Clay blogged the news on his official fan board. See link in the sidebar to visit the fan board.
From what I understand Quiana will be on the next tour, probably starting in the fall....the question is, will she be able to leave that precious new baby with it's grandma while she goes off to tour (as she has said she will)? OR, will the tour bus now have a nursery? New babies do sleep better while driving. How many of us have actually taken a colicky baby out in the car for a ride....raises hand.

I hope Quiana continues to work with Clay on many future tours. She is a special person.

Found a video of Quiana singing "Proud Mary". Thanks to shineinnc for this video which was taken when she and cotton went to see Quiana's That 70's Soul Show. It's a very pregnant Quiana belting out and dancing away....Chamberlain has had a very musical start in life. I also am including "Chain of Fools" from the Charlotte NAT.
