Dominican vies to host popular BET program

Chardelle Moore

Dominican Chardelle Moore is one of a number of hopefulls who is vying to host BET’s popular show 106 & Park.

106 & Park is BET’s number one rated hip hop and R&B music video show.

In May the show’s hosts announced they would be leaving and a nationwide search in the US began for the next host/hostess of 106 & Park.

Moore said she is the right choice to host 106 & Park because of her love for music. “I love music. Music create culture, it’s life,” she said in a promotional video.

She went on to say that she has everything it takes to be the show’s host including the determination, the passion and of course the love for music.

Moore migrated at an early age to the US with her family. Her father, Garry  Moore, is from Grand Bay and mother Beverley Moore is from Fond St. Jean.

Moore, who describes Dominica as her “love,” has made quite a name for herself since moving to the US. IN 2009 she won the Miss Caribbean Metro USA pageant and used that platform to serve as the direct representative of the Caribbean American community.

She graduated from Marymount University in May 2010 and holds a bachelor degree in communications with an emphasis in public relations and broadcast journalism.

She has been involved in many community outreach program in the Washington DC area and is involved in charity events, mentoring programs, and educational seminars.

Those interested in seeing Moore succeed in her quest at BET should send Tweets to @106 and Park@bet telling them she should be the next host.

  2. Not BET
    August 21, 2012

    BET is not a station i would promote in Dominica. There is nothing positive on there and it has adversely affected our young people all over the caribbean. I actually think that station should be censored in the interest of our young people.

  3. A Different View
    August 20, 2012

    I have looked at her videos and I do not see anything unique, special, or different about her. African American, Hip Hop culture is basically devoid of any substance or purpose and is basically money, flash, thug mentality, ghetto opulence, and innuendo. This manufactured culture does nothing for the advancement of African Americans or anyone in the ‘Black Diaspora’.

    Why should I vote for one of our own who is not necessarily making advances in medicine, neuroscience, chemistry or any other discipline that advances the human condition? What example is this young lady setting for daughters, yours and mine? I mean the only thing I get from her videos is that she can read a teleprompter and knows about wearing various hair weaves, colored contacts, skimpy, supposedly fashionable clothes and acrylic nails in every imaginable style and color. Is what she is doing considered acting? I am just trying to ask myself how her success is supposed to benefit the rest of us Dominicans achieve or succeed in this life? I have nothing against the young lady but TV already brings in enough of these empty images of beauty and acceptability that our girls are already emulating, therefore I do not think we need one more.

    As for Rhianna and Barbados, she is in the US strung out on alcohol and drugs, jumping from famous man to famous man, causing them to act like animals and fight in the clubs, getting beat up so badly and still continuing to date her abuser and acting a fool in NY and LA. Personally I do not find her to be heroic at all and not someone I want my daughter to aspire to be like in any way, shape, or form. With that said, I would like ot surmise be saying, forget the free publicity, Dominica does not have to be known for another ‘talking head’ on American TV who will not be allowed to share anything from her heart which would be the true assessment of her true value. After all, we have Maurice Dubois on American TV and look at how that turned out. Who is that you ask? EXACTLY that is how much he gets to tell the world about the little dot in the Caribbean that he and/or his parents are from.

      Honestly I read your post and felt sorry for you. First of all you are uninformed about the young lady and attempting to speak with authority from a position of ignorance…

      Secondly, your view of the world is so narrow-minded and pessimistic its shameful.

      Thirdly, everyone can’t be a doctor or lawyer. It’s people like you who try to force their children into careers they have no personal interest in.

      You come off as very self-righteous and pompous but in reality I think you sound like an idiot. Not because u’re retarded but because you fail to get the big picture.

      did u really watched her videos???? did u listen to the things she said she is involved in???

      i guess u never watched a movie on tv or u dont have a favorite actor….

      ppl like u dont support young ppl if their goals r not similar to urs…soo u can kiss ur 4 king beep u stupid beep…there u go talking bout rhirhi n being on drugs…i dont listen to her music but u tell me whats the difference in watching a movie that has killing n rape in it….how bout countries going to war n killing innocent ppl…

      support di dam girl or shut up n even if it dont benefit dominica it benefits her as a young person cuz she is involved in alot of things but my gush u can see she has love for the media n wants to reach higher than just 106 n park…she might well be an actotr…

    Boy i think we Dominicans should,rally behind this young lady.there should be no ‘ IF ‘she applied for the job;let’s hope she gets it,there is no place here for all the negatives,someone is just asking for positive support,is this too much to ask for?
    I wish all those with there negative thoughts, would have the uppertunity for something Good to happen to them, so they can feel the feeling,cause is lack of such good feeling that cause people to be clouded with jealousy.
    I WISH the young lady the best of luck.And if this young lady have the drive her father had when he was going for the fastbrake when they were a strong basketball team,no doubt she can slamdunk that job.and i wish she does.GOOD LUCK MISS MOORE.

    To those wondering… why she’s asking for support for this ‘job auditioning?…. that’s because part of getting the job is being able to show people support u… so that’s why she needs our vote… not only ours but americans will be voting also… i haven’t watch 106 n park in years… but u bet i’ll be in tune once she gets on…. being who she’s described to be… i believe she’ll get it… the american crowd will see her professionalism…

    now what’s my twitter password again (i ban that long time)…. but i’ll definitely support her… time to log in to twitter

    You fellas know “Snaky?” crashing the offensive glass for Grand Bay PROS basketball team in the 80’s, while his brother Govern crashed the defensive boards? “Where you goin’ with dat?” was Govern’s battle cry when he jammed the block back down your throat. They were a double threat: The Moore brothers…PROS twin towers. Well Garry Moore is the young lady’s father. I wish her the best of luck. Her Grandmother fondly known as “‘Sute” made the best first communion soup at Lawee Derriere… a very nice lady. She had six sons and all of them were scouts… three played basketball for the island. Wow! and now she is giving us a star…well another star, since either Queen or Kareem’s mother won a Princess show in the early 80’s I think.

    What it shows is how Dominicans have talent and skills that is often rejected by our own country and our own people. They doh want to know, they try to pull us down, they backstabbing, they want to tie you in their commess. Well you know what, another Dominican flying. They can never hold us back. Run people run. Go where you are wanted. Best of luck to you girl!

    So somebody is auditioning for a job and that, somehow is an accomplishment? I am as proud as anyone else when our people accomplish something, sadly applying for a job is not one of them. If and when she gets the job, then I will be the first to congratulate her. Until then, let’s hold the applause.

      I agree with you whole heartedly. Furthermore, what purpose is it to Dominica? Stupes….When we go and develop another country, contribute to their economic development and then return home when we retire, then we want to criticize Dominica for being backward and third world.

        August 20, 2012

        and what do you want her to return to do in Dominica? Sit on idle hall estate like the many other Educated frustrated young people? This is a very narrow thought process. Does that make those of us living abroad less of Dominicans? I can see you saying the job has no impact on Dominica and rightfully so, but where is all the rest of your mis-directed anger coming from?

      You have a valid point. However, this so called “job” is not just any job. This job will pt her in the spotlight and as a Dominican, it could mean great thins for Dominica.

      If she dos get the job…perhaps she can be used as a tourism rep to promote Dominica and be the face of Dominica…and Tourism. Hosting this job could mean great things for her, and if she’s smart DOMINICA. It could greatly spotlight us. If he represents for Dominica and bigs up Dominica and even perhaps encourages the how t film something in Dominica, then she’d have done her job.

      The host of this show always parlay themselves into something bigger.

      We need to think big… and if she makes it to hosting the gig…then hopefully Dominica can ride her coat tells when she becomes successfuuly. We know that 106 n Park is the music show of shows.

        You noticed the number of times you said the word “if” eh. That was the point I was making – let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

        Again “if” she gets the job, we should rally behind her 100%, but until then, let’s just wish her the best of luck on her quest.

        @ Vanessa are you just talking from the top of your head? If she gets the job she can be what tourism rep? you all think you can just willy nilly into peoples companies and say and do what you want on their dime? She may be able to mention Dominica a few times by saying this is where she is from, but frankly all she will do is host a show that have program directors and script writers. She is not an independent artist like Rhihanna who can be the face of Barbados.BET is about that dime, and if you understand advertising & marketing you will know what you say there makes no sense, just wishful thinking. Dominicans will be the ones saying she is from Dominica but she will be hard pressed to try that or she will become your tourism rep faster than you can say boohoo…

        I not sure where u study marketing but u made sense and then u turned into a hater at the end.. U don’t have to shout where u from to rep your country..its in her essence she is roots..she love her country..her style ..the way she represent herself can also be associated with where she from..she don’t have to carry an ambassador flag to be dominican..U just have to look at her smile and feel proud of ur homeland..even tho she never get a chance to say dominica on l06&park..WE ALL WILL KNOW WHERE SHE IS FROM SO IS UP TO US TO SPREAD IT AND PLAY OUR PART TO help the girl better represent us..PLUS she will be invited to most of the best shows not as a guest…so she can always give a little Dominica shoutout>>is not just up to the Girl is all I saying>>>if she get the Job>>we have to “SPAM” HER OUT TO THE WORLD.>

        Well…it’s a job interview so it all hinges on the ifs, the possibilities that can come about..IF she ets the job.

        The idea is that there is an opportunity…let’s not jut wish her luck …let’ help then we’ll see what the opportunities can be.

        nd @Marketing 101 – you obviously are limited in your thinking…nce you are famous – you can basically do anything.

        It’s up to hr to pray herself if she gets it…

        I was making a point – which you as a marketing expert fale to go….celebrities are big marketing tools…and IF she does get th job on 106 andprk – she can becom a celebrity. he may not be an ACTOR, but she can still be famous/well known/ celebrity persona.

        stop being hater and using your marketing had to think outside the box.

        I was just giving some examples of what can happen if she got he job and gained success like Rocsi,Terrance, and AJ,..

        AJ is an entertainment host, Terrance is an actor…who’s to say that this so called job, can’t parlay her into ame and she can’t promote DOminica?
