    February 6, 2012

    She deserved the crown yes….but for the best in party dress st joseph primary with the way she carried herself and too me as well she should have gotten best dress. I think they missed a contestant. What happen to the 3rd runner up…..did they forget?

    • ummm
      February 6, 2012

      i tink there was a close call between best party dress wit salybia & st. joseph..as for best in party dress, st.joseph had d right pace but alil to much swaga for a princess.. remember it was a princess show..innocent lives showcasin talents.

  24. Great

    it matters not where the winner comes from. you all are being too ridiculous at times. the fact remains that the child is DOMINICAN. if she has to represent the country we will hear Dominica and not Kalinago or Grand Fond or Roseau..congrats princess…

      Some of u people are so shallow. No wonder children grow up with screwd up and skewed values.

    February 6, 2012

    all u Roseau people not shame, country children have all d ranks, they beating all u in exams. All u have 2 much distractions in Roseau I am so happy is a country child everything Roseau Roseau. That have to stop.

    • z.......
      February 6, 2012

      now u have big mouth? over a silly little competition where you all practically emotionally abuse little girls for a show? Why is there a constant attack from people in the boondocks on roseau people? Don’t you all know that roseau people are from country? At least those now are only first generation roseau people. Whats up with the stupidness. If you want to have yourself all these years Roseau kids achieveing great things whilst you all sit down there with envy. Stop the non sense. Is this show about brains, about mathematical ability? about language skills? about science skill.

      I mean if you want a trophy for best award for exploitation of little child then congrats. Yep country people are well noted for exploiting their kids!

    The judges did a good job one disappointment however, there is no way prep should have placed before that child from Grand Fond. That was not fair. What exactly are u judges looking for. That child from Grand Fond was consistent in all rounds. All u Roseau people must stop that else we country people will not send our children to all u show.

    • z.......
      February 6, 2012

      :-D stop send your kids down roseau for a silly show…. that would help me, cause I won’t have to hear or read your constant moaning about roseau people. It would seem roseau is an independent country…….roll eyes thats why you guys need to stay up there. too many silly comments man.

    • ummm
      February 6, 2012

      d winner came from d salybia primary..well deserved..a country school..i do not understand u at all..u’al need to learn to accept defeat!.y did u’al give ur rep an evenin wear instead of a party dress as requested..dont u tink that messed her up too?TINK OTA D BOX

    • Private
      February 10, 2012

      Did you see the points for talent that give 15 per judge for originality (maybe the child from prep should sing tasha p song and tht would be more original than singing charmer song). Talent maximum time is 4.5 m ins so check how long grandfond stay on stage with a skit followed by a 4 verse calypso. speech was maximum 2 minutes and there are penalties for staying over the time – you lose points. party dress has nothing to do with formal/evening wear. It is a dress designed for little girls to go to a party and must have a very good fit and appear child-like – the child must move very graceful in it too. Sorry but generally judges in Dominica do not even understand the criteria in front of them and people watching the show do not understand what CONSISTENT MEANS!

    bad judging!! thats y u find some schools dont attend esp frm the north: get better judges!
    ms kalinago choke and stay too long and got best speech:
    top 3: giraudel, brier, shaihda:: oh and judges missed a contestant: lol typical theses people

    • yes
      February 6, 2012

      I quite agree. Mis Burton did not deserve best speech/Miss intelligence..that was for Shahida Francois

      • Private
        February 10, 2012

        Speech was maximum 2 minutes, many of the children could not do that including Shahida – she had a lovely dress though.

    • CBMH
      February 6, 2012

      So Adicia wasn’t suppose to win because of one thing. She went over board in her speech and the judges most likely penalized her. But when a child is so far ahead of the others by speech round even with the removal of points its hard not to get the prize. If I rightly remembered, the criteria was presentation and content. She had both of the above beyond believe without a doubt. So what would you want???? For them to remove all her points because she went over board. If you want to pay judge and jury send a letter to Rotaract club asking them to make you a judge for next years show.

      • Private
        February 10, 2012

        The criteria was content and delivery – let me correct you! So you think she delivered and articulated way over the others? NO!! Her talent was inconsistent with her sister helping her from the side and asking her to take this and take that jsut confusing the child. None of the girls were close to the winning costume – other children carried thier costumes bette that Salybia child – so these are 2 rounds she was did not come 1, 2 or 3. She was not hte most graceful in party dress either but her little dress suited the party dress description – many others were for teens or even adults.

    • stupes
      February 6, 2012

      on what she choke dere??? stupess…she was great she took her time to speak and she executed everything very well. she deserved it and the judges did an excellent job

      what u talking about don`t u see that she won fair and square!go adi!!!

    • December 9, 2014

      ADI deserve to win!!! People like to criticize and run their dam mouth WAT IS ALL DAT ABOUT! ok she was actually good p.s not she alone dat was long in her speech 2 mins al you expect the girls to speak in such short time they are supposed to be fluent DUH wat u think! For the party dress Adicia was the best she was graceful and amazing I don’t know if u all know the difference between a party and evening wear st joseph would have got best dress if brie did not havethe similar colours with her and she should not have so much drama and swaga huh and the judges were good, people come on Private how was her talent inconsistent that is if u actually understand the word and i fine u well good to be seeing her sister HATERS is little girls let it go man Girls u did extremely well Top three were out standing though Adicia was better CONGRATS!! :-D :) :wink:
