Rising Star 2005, Christopher Martin

Christopher Martin, the humble 18 year old from Back Pasture, St Catherine was tonight named the winner of the Rising Star competition 2005. After the fiasco at Emancipation Park last Friday, September 23, 2005 a closed staging of the final chapter of the show was aired tonight on TVJ.

Follow up:

The organizers obviously were not prepared to run the risk of a repeat performance when the show had to be called to a halt as scores of fans who had come from far and near became uncontrollable. They have however promised to hold several concerts with not only the two finalist but also several of the top contenders from the competition.
The two finalists Noddy Virtue and Christopher Martin tonight proved once again that they are both winners. Not only did they perform individually trilling the audience, they also performed together in a show of solidarity. ‘Bway, dem caa sing’. Christopher has a powerful voice and with guidance should reach the very top of his game. He is truly gifted, still a bit immature, but hey, he is only 18 years. Noddy on the other hand is a performer. He knows what the ladies want and gives it to them.
After six long months the rising star competition has finally come to an end tonight. In my opinion the best singer won. I hope he doesn’t allow the money and fame to detract him from his goal of completing his education. With a recording contract in the bag his future in music looks very bright. He strikes me as a very ‘mannasable’ young man and I hope that he never loses his air of humility and respectfulness. We need more positive role models to other young ‘want to be’ stars in Jamaica.
Nuff Love

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!!"
