Although Kim wasn’t aware of Kenya’s criticism while they were filming the episode, she did get wind of it when the show aired this week and that’s when she immediately dropped a gem of an insult on Kenya, but in a classy Kim Fields sort of way, which makes it even more hilarious. Here’s what Kim posted on her Twitter page…

After a few years of watching Kenya on the show, Kim Fields just might have a point. Kenya definitely doesn’t carry herself like a prostitute on the show by any means, but her style of dress certainly isn’t that of a church lady sitting in a pew either, just saying, LOL.
I ask this every time we post a story about Kim starring on RHOA and I’ll ask it again because I still don’t understand- Why is Kim on this show again? I love “Tootie,” but she is just not fitting well within the drama filled backdrop of the Real Housewives of Atlanta. She’s just too normal and level-headed, which is unfortunately a dull trait to have for reality TV, but excellent character traits in real life. One thing is certain, Kim adds a lot of class to the show…not saying that the other ladies aren’t classy, because they are (well, some of them).
The fact still remains that the drama is what makes the show interesting no matter how wild things may get at times. So for that, I still salute all of the Housewives for knowing how to capitalize off of their opportunity and take their business/brands to the next level. If it gets down to it though, Kim seems like she doesn’t take any mess and just might have to bring the noise to one of these ladies before it’s all said and done. Don’t hurt ’em “Tootie!”

ILOSM fam’ we’re taking you to church this Sunday! This video of gospel singer, Smokie Norful, is very touching. Kim Fields a.k.a. “Tootie” couldn’t compose herself once Smokie started singing. The video featured Smokie and Kim sitting at a grand piano. And magic began.

You know how a great song can move you, especially when you’ve just gone through some things. When we think about how special life is, then simply take a breath and realize that it can be snatched up in a heartbeat, it makes us hurry and thank the the higher creator for just allowing us to be here. That’s what Smokie did for Kim. Her reaction was PRICELESS. Too bad it’s not that easy finding R&B music today that can still move a person like this Gospel song did.

I would imagine if Luther Vandross was still around, he could just sit at a piano and sing tears to our eyes.

Watch the video below and let chills race up and down your spine because you can just feel the words. Those words were “I thank you for my life. And it was only you who kept me.” He goes on to say he thanks his family and others. “If I never live to see another day, you have done enough. Some people didn’t make it this year.” That’s when Kim started to lose it.

Soul music, R&B or whatever you choose to refer to it as, was born out of spirituals, gospel music, so there has always been a connection between the soul and Gospel genres. Both art forms speak directly to the heart and soul of a person. For example, Al Green has proven that he can take us to church, but he has also proven that his soul music can connect with us when we are connecting with our significant others at night- in other words, speaking to the soul through music comes from the same place- the soul, but can be expressed in several different ways and evoke an array of emotions in its listeners. Others have that same gift such as Patti LaBelle, Aretha Frankin, to name a few. Fantasia or Mary J. Blige may be two of the closest we have to this with today’s soul R&B singers.

This video of Smokie Norful singing a gospel tune while Kim Fields listened and cried, is a great example of gospel music being a true art expression of “soul” music. Because it reaches down to your bare soul.
