Rising Stars 2005 Competition

Rising Stars 2005 Competition
On Friday September 23, 2005 the Rising Stars 2005 competition final show scheduled for Emancipation Park had to be postponed. If anyone had told me that Jamaicans were such fanatics when it came to stars I would have denied it, especially up and coming stars. The Rising Star 2005 competition has had all Jamaicans talking for some time now. Almost all Jamaica has been following the show on TVJ routing for their favorites. The final show was to be held at the Emancipation Park and all were invited.
Follow up:
I don’t think the promoters had any idea what they were getting into. They invited all and all went. The promoters asked all to be seated at the park by 5:30pm, but there were not enough seats. The park was filled to capacity and over flowing and still people came from far and near. Ambulances had to be called to the scene as several people passed out in the massive crowd.
It’s down to the final two, Christopher Marin and Noddy Virtue. From the word on the streets they are about even. Both Christopher and Noddy are at their best singing soul or R & B however they have both shown throughout the competition that they can be quite versatile.
Anyway, Jamaica will have to wait one more week to find out who will be the next rising star. The promoters have promised to name a bigger venue for the final staging of the Rising Stars 2005 competition.

Bruk Pocket Jamaican
"Recently, this Jamaican won the 10 million special lottery for a dollar. As soon as the office of the Lottery Corporation was open on the following day, he was there to collect his winnings.
Graciously, he presented his winning ticket to the clerk and in his best English uttered his request "Me cum fi collect the 10 millian dallars, si me ticket ya".
After reviewing and checking the ticket with his manager, the clerk returned and requested on how he would like his payments. The Jamaican replied "Mi wan all a de moni now". "Unfortunately, Sir" the nervous clerk responded, "The procedures are that we can only give you one million now and the balance equally over the next 20 years".
Furious and agitated, the Jamaican asked for the manager, who re-iterated "Sir, my assistant is correct, it is the regulation of the corporation that we initially pay you one million dollars now with the balance paid to you equally over the next 20 years".
Outraged, the Jamaican slammed his hand on the desk and shouted in anger, "Oonu tek me fi idiat, me wan all a de moni now or oonu gi me bak me rass dallar!!"
